    If the Brewers batters make an out they're bad, and if their pitchers give up a hit they're bad. Do I have it right?

    And he would have been stranded there anyway.

    Six posts ago you called them lethargic and comatose. Now they're too aggressive. Make up your mind.

    While there may not be a lot of sellers, I could see the Brewers making a deal with another contender from the AL in a majors-for-majors swap where the Brewers deal from their bullpen for a LH bat.

    Wiemer has six walks over the last two games and for the month of July has 17 BB to 12 K.

    I like the move. I guess we should look at this as a replacement for Hudson for the time being. At least it's not Hudson's arm. I wasn't really high on Blalock. Doesn't strike a lot of guys out, clock has already started on him, not a huge loss. Williams replaces Junk early next week, Hall or Ross replaces Jay. Maybe Hall or Ross piggybacks with Junis or Wilson as the 5th starter? Then things get interesting for the other of Hall/Ross, Bukauskas, Paredes. Methinks a reliever or two gets traded.

    Where do you plan on playing him, 1B? DH? Rengifo has a 1.4 fWAR, 1.7 bWAR and Turang has a 2.1 fWAR, 3.7 bWAR. (And we know Fangraphs is shorting Turang defensively).

    I don't think that it would be a good look for the Brewers to discourage him from playing. The league wants to make sure that the best players are showcased. That's why the league gives the day before off and 2-3 days after off. Discouraging him would be frowned upon by the league and by the players. Milwaukee has tried very hard to create a positive impression with the players, because they know they can't win the payroll game, and restricting a player's choice would hurt that impression. Yelich may have realized that with his ongoing injury issues this might be his last opportunity to play in an All-Star game. If so, I can't blame him. If it didn't flare up now, it would flare up a month or two from now. An extra day's rest wouldn't have mattered that much. Better now and get rest/rehab and have a chance to be ready for the playoffs than have it flare up in September or October and be done for the year.

    Looks like scholarship limits are going to increase for football from 85 to the full roster size of 105. No surprise, the power conference commissioners finalized it so that the top schools could hoard more of the top recruits. To offset for Title IX, softball and volleyball scholarships are increasing. Of course Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, and the usual suspects will be even better because the good players who would otherwise go to other schools will be on their bench. They get more time to figure out who really is good and who isn't so that the ones who really aren't good transfer out to other non-name schools. And it puts those kids in a tough spot - stay at that school, maybe their dream school, to get their degree or move on elsewhere. As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan.

    Over the last 14 days, Payams has an OPS-against of .273. Not batting average, not OBP, but OPS.

    I think they can send Peguero down, call up someone, then on Friday they put Yelich on the IL, technically recall Peguero to replace Yelich, and then send down whoever they called up and replace him with Sanchez. While they can have a max of 13 pitchers, I seem to recall the Brewers doing this once or twice earlier this season - recall a pitcher who otherwise wouldn't have been eligible to be called up to technically replace a hitter going on the IL, and then subsequently recalling a hitter to replace a pitcher being sent down. So long as they have no more than 13 pitchers at game time I think it's allowed.

    I'm 2 miles away, and the answer is not anytime soon. Lightning.

    Every year USC is supposed to be really good, starts off strong, and then poops down their leg the second half of the season and maybe wins eight games. That, and they lost the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft along with two other day 2 picks and about 15 other transfers including a 5-star QB and they still can't play defense. Iowa lost all-world DB DeJean, their top defender in sacks (Joe Evans), their #2 tackler (Nick Jackson), and their #4 tackler and #3 defender in sacks (Logan Lee). I don't see their defense being nearly as good, and the offense is still Iowa. Nebraska hasn't had a winning record since 2016. They have to prove they can win first. They played two teams last year who finished in the top 25 and one finished 24th. I have no idea how Northwestern did what they did. 106th in points scored, 42nd in points given up, 68th in sacks. Have to find a new starting QB. Other teams picked to finish with a similar record as UW have just as many question marks.

    That Cardinals team was 6th in runs/game scored and 9th in runs given up per game. They finished the season on an incredible 39-21 run (a 105 win pace). That wasn't the Brewers giving it away, that was the Cardinals taking it. This Pirates team is 21st in runs/game scored and 13th in runs given up per game. That's why they've only made up one game in the last month and a half, and that game was yesterday. They are going to need some acquisitions in the next week before I'm buying them as a serious threat. Key word - "serious".
  17. LouisEly
    They had three 3-game losing streaks during that stretch. And it's "losing".
  18. LouisEly
    Since the beginning of June, the Pirates are 24-18. The Brewers are 23-19. They've gained a net one game in the standings over the last 52 days. It's really, really hard to make up six games in the standings this late in the season.

    Cards lost, so no real damage tonight if they can't pull it out.

    I disagree with your definition of a "hanger". That pitch started well above the zone and dropped into it. He set it up perfectly earlier in the AB with fastballs at the top of the zone. It was a really good sequence executed perfectly by Leiter.

    If he was drafted in 2015 out of college at 21 then he would have needed to be added to the 40-man after the 2018 season and then optioned to the minors at the beginning of the 2019 season. Unless they chose not to protect him, which I doubt with him being the 6th overall pick in the draft 3.5 years prior. In 2020 he was released before the season started, so no option used. By my count, he should have two options remaining. My guess is that he's getting a brief audition (or selling him on staying with the org after getting DFA'd) prior to Williams/Ross/Hall needing to be activated.
  22. LouisEly
    He was drafted in 2015 so he would have needed to use an option in 2019, correct?
  23. LouisEly
    Agree on Haase, but y'all know that Bauers has a higher OPS than Sanchez, right? Sanchez was only given $3M for a reason. DFA Sanchez, keep Haase.
  24. LouisEly
    Close, but not quite. Wichrowski was $100K, Kuehner $72K, Manfredi $27.5K, and the final pick in the 10th round slot value was $165k.
  25. LouisEly
    I was wondering if it was that Tyler Jay. Turns out it is. Can't believe he's 30 already, and that this was the first year he made it to the majors. So, what in the world are the Brewers going to do with him?
