  1. Lots of what-if's here. I sort of understand the one in the 10th as there were two outs after the catch was made. The one in the 9th is inexcusable; there was only one out so there was still an opportunity for a sac fly or fielder's choice/unable to turn a DP to score the run. I go back to Swanson's HR. Earlier in that AB he pops one foul down the RF line that is exactly as geographically far as you could possibly get from all of the RF/2B/1B and it landed in foul territory with both Turang and Perkins sliding to make the catch. Miley got the pop fly, but it landed in the only place it could have where it could not have been caught.
  2. I don't know that the organization views Jones as filling the same role as Hiura. Anderson is a 3B and RF. Jones is primarily a 2B but has also played OF. Miller/Monasterio are your 3B while Anderson is out and thus the need for another infielder who can fill in their role as the backup 2B and Anderson's role as a backup OF.
  3. I'm hesitant to call someone under the age of 26 with less than 100 MLB PAs a "AAAA" player. He was really impressive in small samples in the AFL at the ages of 20 and 21. Then, who knows what happened in 2020, and looks like he was injured in 2021 but had a decent season for a guy who was 3.5 years younger than league average. The Dodgers have been known to coach some "AAAA"-type of players up to major-league quality after getting them in their system...
  4. Stricker with a nice run this afternoon to give himself a shot at the first three senior majors of this year but too little, too late. More about Langer, whose 18-hole run from #6 yesterday to #6 today was something spectacular.
  5. I would never have guessed that Tacko Fall and Jabari Parker were born in the same year.
  6. Seven of those nine starts were before he went on the IL, so they aren't relevant. This was his third start since coming off of the IL, and in the first two he threw 77 and 69 pitches.
  7. Well, Miley only threw 77 pitches in his first game back and 69 in his second. I don't think it was a stretch to think that he probably couldn't go more than five innings.
  8. It's a fresh arm thing with Pannone, and the unlikeliness that someone will claim him.
  9. I think the point is that they needed one more bullpen arm as much as one different bullpen arm. The current six man rotation, with Miley just off the DL throwing <75 pitches in each of his last two outings, left them with just two options. Should have had whichever starter had a side/bullpen session that day available for an inning.
  10. This. Going to a 6-man rotation during a long stretch with no off days when Miley has just returned and isn't up to 100 pitch outings yet.
  11. A lot has been made about the Brewers offense, and rightfully so. But add two relievers who are upgrades to Bush and Pannone and the Brewers likely win this game with no changes to the offense.
  12. Put Bush back on the IL (before DFA-ing him) and Strz can come back up.
  13. Wrong Brayden Taylor page linked above. It is kind of funny that this article is linked in his B-R.com page.
  14. DFA'd again after an 11.75 ERA, 7.7 BB/9, 2.1 HR/9, 2.338 WHIP after 16 appearances, 4 starts, and 25.2 innings this season. That wouldn't have helped.
  15. Pannone, Bush, and Wilson didn't pitch today and Peguero only threw 3 pitches. Peralta just needs to go five and then each can take one inning. They have a six-man rotation now so they can shorten to five and put another guy in the pen.
  16. Just hang in there, get Woody back, get Ashby and Wilson back to get some LHRP reinforcements, and they'll have the staff to compete with anyone in a 7-game series.
  17. Devin Williams threw 13 pitches yesterday, didn't pitch the day before, and threw six pitches the day before that. Peguero threw 9 pitches yesterday, didn't pitch the day before, and threw six pitches the day before that. I'd be surprised if those guys are unavailable.
  18. Well, from what I've seen, Urias has been outstanding defensively this year. A lot better than the dWAR that Fangraphs and B-R are giving him. He's handled a lot of balls that had rocket EVs, which I don't know is captured in those defensive metrics. Turang has a .927 OPS in AAA, so he's earned his way back up. Looks like it was 3 days too late to avoid using one of his options as he was optioned on June 7th. Hopefully this is the only year that he uses an option.
  19. Is the solution Christian Yelich? He was drafted as a 1B. If Frelick can get back on track he can play LF. Anderson/Perkins can play RF. Or maybe it's acquire an OF and move Yelich to 1B.
  20. Slightly off-topic, but I discovered a wonderful solution about a decade ago. One of my friends from CA who is from WI was back in WI visiting and we went to a game. I had recently moved back to WI and didn't have a portable grill and didn't really want to fork over $50 or whatever for a small grill that I wasn't going to use very often. My buddy and I are both huge Rocky Rococco fans, so we ordered takeout from the one on Bluemound and then took Bluemound all the way to the stadium parking lot. Set up a table, dropped a large Rocky's on it, ate pizza, drank beer, and didn't have to light anything, wait for food to cook, or wait for a grill to cool down afterwards before putting it away. The group of youngsters next to us who were struggling with their little grill... you should have seen the look on their faces. They learned some wisdom from their elders that day.
