Frelick making Mitchell moot.

I still think Mitchell is going to provide more power.  He has a place/roll here too.  Frelick makes Perkins expendable.

Never easy.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Getting a crash course on why contact pitchers are dangerous, even in front of a great defense. 

[HarryDoyle]

Well that unraveled fast.

[kevinisaname]

How about Junis? Those were some huge pitches. Let's get the offense going again.

I vote for him in the rotation.  Good bye Dallas.

Not a Junis fan either but definitely a better option.

Agreed, they still need to acquire a starter either way.

I hope Kuechel enjoys an extended break after today - like through the end of the season 

It was a dollar well spent - thank you for your service 

Enjoy retirement after a great career 

It’s time to walk away

Yeah, I don't really believe in him either, but I do believe in him more than Keuchel.

Not just a starter, a C.C. Sabathia.

[edfunderburk]

In addition to DFA for Kuechel during the upcoming break, I hope we’ve seen the last of Wilson & possibly Milner who could be trade candidates as we welcome back healthy pitchers & hopefully trade for another starter

Who in your opinion qualifies as a CC Sabathia?

Who are you willing to trade from our prospects to get that pitcher?

I prefer another Civale level pitcher so we can keep the top prospects for 2025 & beyond.

Anyone who is a legitimate #1.

I don't care.

I disagree. We don't need another one of these mid level at best pitchers just to keep us afloat and maybe win a wild card series. It's time to take a big swing again. The future young core of this team is already here. 

[kevinisaname]

JOEY! What a play!

It might cost our future #1 SP Misioroski and several other top prospect cogs to get a #1/#2 type pitcher for just the next year to two and a half years…..likely too costly.  I don’t see a CC Sabathia type on the trading blocks either. A flash in the pan or two. A #3 or #4 having a good year.

Yeah, I don't see them going after a guy like Crochet. I see more like Fedde as the highest they'll go, but we shall see. They want a ransom for Crochet and probably quite a lot still for Fedde.

[82brewcrew82]

I'm glad we had our one inning of scoring so we can  witness this slow burn comeback by the Nats.

[kevinisaname]

Well, crap. This is getting way too close. I'm surprised they didn't bring in a lefty, but Junis had been pitching pretty well.

[HarryDoyle]

So we're just going back to the philosophy of jumping to a big lead and sit on it hoping it's enough to get us through nine innings.

[wibadgers23]

They’re going to mess around and lose this game.

[jason21nl]

They want to blow this game in the worst way
