  1. I'll say it. McCord wins the backup job.
  2. The Cubs have now gained exactly 1/2 game in the last 21 days and exactly zero games since the last day before the All Star break.
  3. Love to see that he's hitting the ball well again. Saw a tweet a few days ago from a former player who is now on one of the networks (MLB, Fox, etc.) who said (paraphrasing), "Baseball is a sport that is really hard to be great at every single day." It's funny how big a small sample can be in baseball.
  4. Aaron Ashby was the source of that quote, not McCalvy or anyone on the Brewers: “I think Chad’s more than capable of being a frontline starter in this game,” Ashby said. “He’s got extremely unique stuff, and what we saw today is that when he’s dialed in and executing, he’s really good. For the time being, there’s that hybrid role. But I still see Chad as a frontline guy.”
  5. https://www.mlb.com/news/chad-patrick-thriving-in-swingman-role-for-brewers Patrick, who battled butterflies so intense that he often got physically ill before his starts Literally the third sentence of that article.
  6. He literally said that he prefers not knowing when he's coming in because he would get so worked up before a start that he would get sick.
  7. So that Patrick can come in and do the same thing
  8. Imagine saying that six weeks ago.
  9. And he didn't even get an MVP vote that year. Five players had over 140 RBIs. Two more had over 130 RBIs. 17 players had 40 or more HRs. Hell, the player who led the league in hits (gold star if you can name him without looking) didn't get one single MVP vote that year.
  10. The White Sox use Hudson as an opener last night to get through the lefties and he gives up HRs to PCA and Busch.
  11. Gausman: 4.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
  12. Lara has made a few great catches in the OF, but he also has almost run into another OF a couple of times and had to make a leaping catch once because he lost the ball and/or took a poor route. That lack of experience could really hurt the Brewers if it occurs in the wrong situation. I also think that Lockridge is better on the bases right now. I'm not saying that Lara won't be better eventually, I'm just saying that right now the experience that Frelick and Lockridge have outweighs the long-term upside that Lara has. Give Lara more regular PT at AAA for 2 weeks, then bring him back up as the 14th position player.
  13. The North Shore Adult Diapers club had a rough weekend. Only 9 pages... they must be crying in their crying.
  14. I think of it as more of an indictment of how much of a jackass you have to be in order for me to ignore someone.
  15. Still in first place today, will still be in first place tomorrow.
  16. I'm sure that winning the first preseason game is the top priority
  17. Ball wasn't hit hard, and Bauers fielded it pretty far from the bag. With the lefty up, Turang should have been playing closer to 1B and I think could have gotten it. Bauers should have let Turang field it and went to the bag. Have to know where the guy next to you is positioned. The thing is, not one of the runs that scored yesterday earned their way on base: 1st run - walk 2nd run - walk 3rd run - extra innings automatic baserunner 4th run - HBP
  18. Still in first place today. Will still be in first place tomorrow. I'm lovin' it.
  19. True, but I think the Player's Union cares more about the right of members to earn a major league paycheck than what teams do.
  20. Maybe it's not a bad thing that he elected free agency. If they outright/option him, my understanding is that they would then have to wait the required 15 days to recall him to the major league roster. But if he elects free agency, they can resign him to the major league roster at any time. The risk, obviously, is that someone else can sign him to their major league roster. Correct me if I'm misunderstanding the rules around that.
