Brewers (Ross) vs Cubs (Wesneski): 5/3/24, 1:20pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Michael Busch is going to be very annoying for a very long time.

[Bulldogboy]

I wanted Brewers to trade for Busch so bad. It was easy call and they got Bauers instead. Brutal.

I was hoping he would be included along with a quality pitcher in an offseason trade with the Dodgers for Adames

Absolutely. It was a pretty savvy move by Hoyer to nab him.

One of the few Arnold trades I dislike ... probably trying to make good on a bad draft choice from his time in Tampa

At what point do you start trusting Turang as legit and bat him lead off?    Of course we all know as soon as you do is when the regression to the mean will happen 

[Patrick425]

They should never talk to Sophia when the other team is up.  Seems like every time she is giving a report whoever is up to bat gets a hit or hits.

But dare I say it?  Where would this team be in the standings without Adames so far this year?

This is superstition.

Turang is on a mission.

He's earned it -- no wishin' !!!

Good point ...

Both Adames & Busch have 6 HRs 

I wonder what Ortiz's stats would be if he was our everyday SS

PCA can't hit for **** but the boy has wheels.

Not quite, The Hoover upright.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm over this Cubs outfield.

[edfunderburk]

If Yelich ever returns ... Bauers has to be DA'd ... right? 

Surely there is a better option for one of our 13 positional players

[Bulldogboy]

Turang needs to be given his respect. Hitting like this with his glove is 5.0 war player.

I think it really depends on Black. If he's hitting over a 50-100 PA (or more) sample size, it won't be hard to part ways with Bauers.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This Brewers infield is something else.

[Underachiever]

Come on, Joe. Don't let Mervis get you.

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice pitch. Not sure if it was intentional or not but nice pitch.

[Brian]

Good movement on Ross's pitches today.
