Just a suggestion ... It might be good to let Ortiz play regularly

What's even more dumbfounding in that Oakland basically flipped us Contreras and Payamps for Esteury Ruiz. That's crazy. They could have just kept those guys.

Also, we even got Justin Yeager as a throw in. He may be in our bullpen in a couple of years.

All for Esteury Ruiz. 

Not really for Ruiz. 

Atlanta wanted Sean Murphy.

Amen Brother, is Pay Murphy the next Harvey Kuenn?

With Dunn going down it looks like management agrees. 

I just hope they didn’t decide they need another OF because of concerns about Yelich. 

Might be that Chourio will be going down soon.

And apparently Oakland wanted Ruiz so badly they pulled in a third team rather than just take Contreras.

Not likely. 

Kuenn’s strength was letting a team that was loaded with hitting talent just play ball. Murphy’s situation is quite different.

Very true.

Oakland got five players, including Manny Pina and Kyle Muller. Atlanta got one. We got the best of that interesting deal, for sure.

[Team Canada]

Terrific outing by Gasser. Nice to see Payamps have a clean inning.

I'm not saying Joey Ortiz is a superstar, but he absolutely has superstar potential. His power is very real and he seems to be learning how to better tap into it this year. The ceiling is super high for the kid.

Of course, but the only reason to involve Milwaukee in that trade is because they wanted Ruiz and/or really didn't want Contreras.

[RobertCrawley]

Churio!!!

I hope he gets well on Pirate pitching.

[yfinn6]

He looks like he belongs. 

[Brewcrew82]

There's the superstar talent....You can count on one hand (and not use up all of your fingers) the # of 20 year olds on the planet who can do that, and at the major league level. 

[Brian]

Chourio heard us talking about him.

Ok, new goal: Everyone needs to homer before the game is over.

Getting closer...

Please: Chourio.

Jackson ain't going no place!

 

[homer]

Goodness did he destroy that baseball. 

[BruisedCrew]

Evidence is mounting that Perez has nothing today and was just being left out there to take one for the team since they don’t have the day off tomorrow.

One of the reasons I don’t get overly excited about really high scoring blowout games. They often include several runs against the dregs of the bullpen, a pitcher left in to absorb punishment and, sometimes, a position player.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I had a three minute phone call that required me to step out of the room. How many Brewers homers did I miss?

[edfunderburk]

This is fun ... so happy for Chourio ... that has to feel good after such a lengthy dry spell ... he got all of that one! 

[Team Canada]

Good grief William, have mercy.

If nothing else he has earned the right to play every day for awhile.

It was the combination of players from Atlanta and Milwaukee that made all that possible. The As were building a roster.

It is interesting that Atlanta calculated that Sean Murphy was preferable to William.
