Outlander

Minor league stats look bad but finished with a 900 OPS MLB season still. Could be productive as a soft side platoon.

At least there is one game three tonight. With baseball, after the Brewers I just look for the entertainment aspect and the more games tonight the better it would have been but alas we only get one. I think Phillies/Dodgers is better tv so hoping for a Phillies win.

Doesn't matter, the Brewers are the danger.

Logan Henderson will get the most votes of any Brewer and maybe doesn't finish top 5. I imagine down the road people will wonder why he received so few votes in hindsight, especially if he continues his success in the playoffs.

Agree with this. Patrick, Yelich, Frelick, they are all going to be on the playoff roster. People can have their opinion of who should be on the roster but there is very little question on who will be on the roster.

Hopefully a sequel to Just a Bit Outside and one of those times the sequel is better than the original.

Or even better call up a guy that can play SS instead of Lockeidge. Could be a career minor leaguer

Probbly the case, if they are going to recall Richardson might as well have him pitch some innings before the DFA. It is kind of odd that the Brewers listed Wilson as the probable starter and didn't activate him, could have just left it at TBA until everything was finalized.

Vlad isn't really wrong but also shows why the MLB system is potentially broken and perhaps looking at a lockout. The Brewers still have Yelich for a couple more years but do seem to realize that isn't the way to go anymore. Don't sign these guys long term(Burnes/Adames) on the back end instead do it on the front end and keep the players during their prime(Chourio/Pratt/Lara). Still can bust but the total dollars at risk isn't as much and there are usually outs in the later years. The large market teams are still throwing money away with these long term deals, not sure if they will ever have the discipline and self control to stop agreeing to these contracts. The Dodgers and Padres have numerous contracts where the player is paid off of previous performance. I don't know if I would classify the Blue Jays as small market but there are teams that still do pay their franchise player above their performance and with all of the data out there the teams must know they are paying for past performance. The small market Guardians for example will be overpaying Jose Ramirez for the next six years because of his past performance but many would consider this a hometown discount even though he is being paid for past performance. Even the Brewers will feel the pressure to sign players like Contreras and Turang to bad deals if they win it all

They will both be on the roster, it isn't an either or.

Defense should be fine for this one and an easy Packers victory even with their issues.

Good to see the demand is high and it is convenient to have the games during the weekend. With that said there should still be opportunity if somebody wants to go, especially if it conflicts with the Packers game for Game 2.

Chad Patrick has proven reliable in the playoffs and not something Murphy is going to forget. I imagine he gets used quite a bit in the playoffs.

Edgar Diaz rocked
