Situationally/stretegically, yes.  I'm not saying they should do that but when the team has all the other pieces in place, and this team does, go get a middle of the order bat.  Why not.  We've always been told the money is there when the time is right.  The time is right.

Sure, you can do that at DH and if you're adding a piece or two here and there. But the Brewers' organizational emphasis on defense/run prevention is paying off just as much, if not moreso. If you start adding a couple of Kyle Schwarbers/Nick Castellanos' to your team, then you're at risk of subtracting more than you're adding. 

[Brewcrew82]

That's not a HR before 2006.

[BruisedCrew]

The fly balls are really flying today. 

[Brewcrew82]

Bellinger....

That's a hit? LOL.

They did change it to the correct error call. 

[Brewcrew82]

I really can't stand to watch Wiemer swing.

Make ups for the wind blown misses.

We could have just as easily gotten the 2021-22 .611 OPS version for $17.5 million. Great hindsight signing.

[Brewcrew82]

A bit of a generous call there.

[Brewcrew82]

Turang shouldn't have been in the lineup today. He's impotent against LHP.

[edfunderburk]

How can you not love Wade Miley

Here’s hoping he gives us 7+ innings today

If he throws 8 - all the better 

[kevinisaname]

Man, Turang sure gets caught looking a lot.

Not sure if it’s been said already or it’s just my Peacock - but the quality of picture is God awful.

I assume he is there for defense with ground-ball inducing Wade Miley pitching … but yes - he is not a great bat against a LH starter

[Frisbee Slider]

Cubs going to the bullpen in the 6th. Runner on second for Reds, two outs.

Must be almost entirely guess hitting with two strikes.

I’m choosing to follow the game via MLB app today … this is the first game I haven’t had access to all year (if I recall correctly)

[HarryDoyle]

Good showing by Ranger Rea today.

[Frisbee Slider]

Reds retake the lead! ‘Unlucky’ break for the Cubs that a ground ball found a hole.

Watching this pregame on peacock... I have to say Nick Swisher is terrible.... just non-stop yelling...  

At least you get to watch.  We can't down here.

Thing is, the stats say Owen Miller is pretty much just as good at 2B. I was hoping that they called him up to play for Turang against LHP.

[TURBO]

Can't find the game here in Appleton with TDS.  :(
