This wouldn't be the worst time to try and steal third

[Nola Beery]

Payamps warming up. I think I'll go to bed now.

I'm personally not seeing much that would lead a team to claim him if they didn't the first time around. And even then, I'd be fine with Mejia as backup to Contreras and Sanchez. 

Yea I can't say for sure.  But we're talking like he's been trash while he's sitting with an over 1000 OPS and raked all year in AAA too.  He's basically performed almost every time he was given a start, he's just not being allowed to play right now. Which of course can break your rhythm.   I of course don't know what other contenders need Cs or who would take him, but I'm sure there's several catchers on ML rosters performing worse than him. but does a bad team bother, who knows

[yourout]

Riley has such simple mechanics. If you ever want to have a kid copy somebody he's your guy.

[Brewcrew82]

Wow. Ozuna just got under that one. Otherwise that was going to be gone.

Yeah Payamps is very fortunate because that was a mistake pitch

[Nola Beery]

Woot. Right down the line!

Mejia has an 85 wRC+ as a bat first catcher in AAA. He’s thrown out 6 of 46 attempted base stealers.

Haase was at a 123 wRC+ and threw out 5 of 21 attempted base stealers in Nashville.

I'm not saying Haase isn't a superior option to Mejia. I'm just saying that doesn't justify having to stash him on the active roster over the next few weeks of critical games. Especially when it's questionable whether he'd actually be claimed by another team.

Might not gain any ground on anyone tonight but at least we're not losing any.

[edfunderburk]

Less than 50 games remaining in the season 

Brewers have not lost ground in the NLC division after playing slightly over .500 baseball for 40ish games. … 1/4 of the season

That’s amazing & we’re fortunate

Well the 2nd place team in the Central is slightly over .500, so this checks out. ;)

Yeah.  The rest of the division was doing is a solid while we were scuffling.   Let’s hope we can go on a run here

[yourout]

Amazing how much more under control Churios head is now.

[Soupy]

Haase is still on the team because he has 2 more years of control at a reasonable salary

[yourout]

Golden sombrero for Contreras

[Nola Beery]

Oooops

The hole in his swing is eight feet off the inside corner.

[Bulldogboy]

When Chourio ends the season at 285 nobody is going to believe it 20 years from now what it took to get there.

[Bulldogboy]

I totally forgot Williams was back. 

[yourout]

Wow that was a terrible strike call.

[markedman5]

Getting some help from the ump tonight…..lol

[adambr2]

Homeplate umpire ready to go home. Strike 3 probably good but Strike 2 wasn't close. 

[RightFieldCoder]

I'm shocked Solar stayed in the game. He had reason to be mad about today's calls.
