Is Durbin the answer?

Yes … Durbin is the answer

I hope Arnold goes & gets Neto from the Angels

Sell high on Priester at the deadline?  I got scolded here for wanting to sell high on Joey Wiemer a few years ago, so I’m all ears on this one.

You’ll have to define “high”, was there ever really a “sell high” window on Joey Wiemer?

[adambr2]

Ortiz is the guy to replace.

Angels won't be selling. They think they have a chance (they don't) like usual

I sure hope we see Perkins this inning for defense. 

And offense … he would replace Bauers who is now under the Mendoza line

The Brewers need to stop looking for.a third baseman and look for a shortstop at the deadline.

I would start next year with Turang at short and Durbin at second. Find a power bat to play third. Ortiz utility. 

[Scooterfletcher]

Someday I’ll look up my Wiemer trade high idea I started, but what I mean is going after someone like Zach Neto or CJ Abram’s and not have to give up a ton more if Priester is the centerpiece.

NM, you just answered my question above.

I hate even responding to this... But what would you need in return to trade him? You have been trying to trade DL Hall for a bag of baseballs the last month+ ... 

Zach Neto or CJ Abrams with us not having to add the cream of our minors.

[liveforoctober]

The first bat I am actively trying to get if I'm Arnold is Josh Naylor. Bauers just needs to be upgraded.

[adambr2]

Leadoff walk.

Brilliant call, Murph.

You should yell at that cloud. He’s dealing, his pitch count isn’t high and sitting him down after 6 is a mistake by Murphy. 

By far Murphy's biggest weakness is managing the pitching staff and the bullpen in particular.

You have to put in somebody, the starter won't pitch all 9, we still have a shutout.

[adambr2]

I’m glad it worked out. I still disagree. Still need 6 more outs.

And 2 batters later, it is special by Murph!

[Playing Catch]

They are shutting out the Dodgers and we can't just let Murphy breathe? My gosh, this crowd!

I get it. I know what the stats say and I understand the Brewers are in a division race. But I feel like I can still be allowed to mourn the era of a guy going for a complete game. Some of my favorite memories are guys putting the team on their back and going nine.

I mean I just think Priester should have been able to go 7 tonight. They may still win anyway. I hope they do.

[Team Canada]

It did seem like a quick hook for someone who had been dominating and still had a low pitch count.

It appears Murph got in his head with the benching and public criticism. Some guys just don’t respond well to that.

[adambr2]

Bleh. At least he didn’t swing at Ball 4, but big missed opportunity.

[yourout]

Collins missed a middle middle meatball

[adambr2]

Ron Roenicke managing this game? Ok guys, that’s enough.
