Fun weather note: yesterday was a record low-HIGH for Atlanta for August 4. It was the first time on that date that the high temps stayed in the 60's since 2013. -
I liked Williams - he was obviously fantastic most days - but the thing that always made me nervous about him was that if his changeup wasn't on point, he was going to struggle. He didn't have anything else to fall back on. His fastball was underrated, but its effectiveness relied on the airbender. The days his changeup was bad, you could just feel him praying that it would end up in the strike zone and that nobody would square up the fastball.

Yeah, we've had major drop in temps the last few days here in ATL and it's come with rain and gloomy days (I'll take it over 95+ degree days, though). I'd love to go to a game, but bad timing - youngest just started school today.

Just stopping by to check on the reactions to the lineup.

I know Ortiz has been poor offensively aside from a couple-week hot stretch and people want to fill that hole in the lineup, but it seems to me that the angst among people who are upset with the trade deadline is that they still hold on to the perception of some of the young guys that they did before the season started. I think lots of people still don't think guys like Collins and Durbin are actually good. After all, before the season, they were both just short rookies who didn't look like they'd be much of anything this year. Frelick and Turang, while certainly competent, were still just fast, slick-fielding, grit merchants. I truly believe fans haven't been able to shake their perceptions of those guys and are waiting for all of them to turn into pumpkins. They see the Brewers with the best record in baseball two-thirds of the way through the season and think it can't actually be true.

Skimmed some ESPN articles. The "winners and losers" article called the Brewers "losers," but couched it by saying they still have the best record in MLB and really only had good things to say. There was no "what are they doing" narrative. In a Q&A with baseball writers on reactions to the trade deadline, one called the Brewers a "finely tuned machine" and neither considered any other team to have jumped them (a bunch of NL teams will be racing each other to the World Series). This morning's post-trade deadline power rankings still have the Brewers #1. Conclusion: at least one national media outlet doesn't think the sky is falling for the Crew. Now hopefully losing Chourio for a while doesn't hurt.

So pissed they didn't buy low on Mookie Betts.
-
I look forward to the "THANK YOU, NESTOR" post from the Brewers' social media team.
-
Damn, I played a couple games of Balatro and came back to a slew of unread messages in this thread. Thought the Brewers made a deal.
-
They should buy low on Mookie Betts. Milwaukee is great bowling city.
-
I don't get this idea of trying to get bullpen help. The Brewers have plenty of good relievers, plus some starters who are almost back from injury.
-
I want the Brewers to stand pat. **** you, league, come get us.
-
Way ahead of you. :)
-
Got this game and now an ant infestation in our playroom. Happy Wednesday.
-
I was about to give you a virtual high five.
-
Still 7 innings for Vaughn to do his thing.
-
Fat Ball Freddy today
-
He's hitting over .270 with one of the better OBP on the team, so he's clearly been doing something right this season.
-
Definitely should've started Jansen.
-
Hopefully Chourio knows his body well: "My leg is a touch tight, but I feel good," Chourio said through an interpreter. "It felt more like a little tickle at first. The more I kept going, I was just hoping to get to third base there. Once I got there, more than anything, it felt like a cramp."
