Really went down with a whimper in the 9th.

How about a crazy unlikely win tonight in the 9th?

Yeah they did not even kinda come close with the heart of the order.  

[adambr2]

Pretty terrible situational hitting and no fight in the 9th, but they scored 5 runs and the back end of the bullpen pitched very well. Hard to say that most of this falls on anyone except Dustin May.

Relief pitching gets an A.   Offense wasn’t horrible and hit the 5 run mark.  
 

this trade for may and the invisible reliever is turning into a head scratcher.   What’s funny is we probably had a better chance to win that game if sproat pitches.  Ha

[yourout]

The two for 10 with risp really hurt

Yeah you give up seven runs in the first two innings that's probably a 99.5% chance of a loss

As bad as Sproat has been, and we know how bad he’s been, he has not had one single game this season where he allowed more earned runs (7) than outs recorded (6).

He allowed 7 runs once in his first appearance back in March but went 3 innings.

Definitely would have had a chance if he did a 3 earned runs over 4 1/3 innings typical performance

What kind of return could we expect for Turang if we trade him this offseason? He played himself out of an extension in Milwaukee, but I wonder how his regression this season has affected the market for him and how the FO will approach moving him. 
obviously more of an off-season question, but Brice has been a really tough watch lately and another 0 for night got me thinking about his future value

Yeah, that's obviously the lion's share of the reason for the loss. This kinda reminded me of Mays' first outing as a Brewer. Of course he didn't blow up that day like tonite but the command & location was just about as poor & the M's added some well-placed knocks & a couple of shots.

When you factor in the defense, it's hard to imagine how many games he's won for us the last couple of years. Having said that........I don't know if regression is the right word, but at the plate he DOES often leave you wishing for more. Sometimes his mindset at the plate in certain situations leaves me wanting. Like tonite. I don't remember the inning but it was still 7-2 or 7-3 & he was at the plate with no one on base and one out & chose to swing at a 3-1 pitch. Some might not agree, but if you're looking to come back in a game like this you need for the opposing pitcher to suck somewhat; to open the door. And Gilbert's command WAS off kilter tonite. For my money you take there. Instead it's a broken-bat groundout & Chourio follows with a base hit. Not a smart AB.

It's not a bad debate re dealing him if for no other reason than there's talent throughout the organization on the INF. The return would have to be bulky, though.

I watch Brock Rodden the last couple of days & I sort of see the type of player I hope Brady Ebel becomes. Except for the part about trying to make a throw from SS to Elm Grove.
