What does it take to get more than a shallow freaking fly ball with a man on 3rd and 1 out? 

[kevinisaname]

Brice with a huge insurance run!

[yfinn6]

Thank you Brice! 

[edfunderburk]

Turang has become a major league hitter 

[adambr2]

21% RBI probability on a 2-1 count with a man on 3rd was a flat out insult to Turang.

I think there was some hope when Vaughn got here after awhile that maybe some adjustments were made and, even though the 1.000 OPS obviously wasn’t sustainable, maybe a really good hitter was.

At this point I’d lean toward he’s probably not the guy, even though of course everything he’s already done is more than worth giving up Civale.

He’s a better player than he showed with the Sox, though.

What he was on the Sox before the last year and a half was competent starter.  Then who knows *** happened there for a bit.   Then he comes here and goes nuts.    Chances are he's in between the *** and Babe ruth.  Which would be somewhere in the ballpark of competency that he was before the crash.  I'd say that's what most people hope or think could happen.  Being an All Star 300, 1000ops 35/hr, 100 rbi I don't think is in anyone's realistic expectation.     and even that just OKness he was on CWS before he crashed is more than Bauers has ever shown.

And note I'm not a Bauers basher, I've been a general defender at times on here

[tmwiese55]

Also I don't know much about the RAmirez who just pitched.  But quick looks it seems he's bounced around, only has a 5.5 era this year.  If he's available in the offseason I'd be all over that guy and see what our coaches can do with that stuff

[Austin Tatious]

Who had Turang as being on the verge of .290, 20 HR and 80 RBI with a plus .800 ops?   With his speed and defense?

[RobertCrawley]

Is Megill available tonight?

I thought he was on track to be a week or so away but others could correct me.  

[kevinisaname]

Nice job by Jared!

[Bulldogboy]

Koenig been pretty good lately 

[Austin Tatious]

Vaughn has talent with the bat or else he wouldn’t have been the 3rd overall pick.  You’d love to see him become a Schwarber.  He’s got physical ability but it’s the inconsistency and inability to weather slumps that has been a killer.  If he could ever get over that, you could have a Schwarber type.

Read that he is on schedule to return around the 15th.   Uribe will close this down.

[adambr2]

Megill is still on IL. A lot of Brewer relievers seem to be running out of gas, but Jared Koenig is not one of them.  

[edfunderburk]

I will never understand or agree with the analytics nerds who tell me that batting averages don’t matter anymore

[Sixtolezcano]

Who’s the better hitter Ortiz or Bauers?

Ashby throwing well too.

I don't think the Phillies or Dodgers would appreciate that.

They found a great role and fit for him. He’s got talent and can be a weapon in this role.

It makes sense - with all the recent bullpen injuries - to move Misiorowski to late inning relief

Totally, especially for the playoffs.  You’d love to have Mis, Ashby, Uribe and Megill as major factors.
