That Was The Coolest Trade Deadline I've Ever Seen
Eye Black replied to splitterpfj's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Ken Rosenthal’s post Archer trade for The Athletic made it sound like the Pirates quickly accepted the Rays asking price which was a shock to the point it left the Rays wondering if they should have asked the Pirates for even more. He made it sound like the Rays knew he was going to Pittsburgh very early in the morning the day he was traded. He also shared a narrative that Pirates GM Neil Huntington has had a fascination with Archer for over 10 years (from when he was still a young prospect back in 2007). -
I think he's pressing, with his new team, as opposed to being loosey goosey lately with the no-pressure Orioles. I agree, I also feel like putting him in the clean-up spot puts a slight bit of added pressure on him.
-
I have never seen a catcher lose his sense of awareness like Grandal the past couple of games. It is like he panics to the point of not being able to see clearly.

Scheduling Fun Fact: This is the last scheduled Thursday evening game for the Brewers this season. They have two remaining Thursday day games in August, and no scheduled Thursday games during the month of September.

The natives are growing restless in Wichita while waiting for more details on their baseball future: We’re waiting on baseball’s future in Wichita. Fans deserve an update

Calling people who stay up into the early morning hours to root for the team “haters” because they acknowledge Corey Knebel has had some inconsistent outings seems illogical. There are amicable ways to discuss player performance in this forum without grouping other’s viewpoints and observations into such an outlandish category. If you disagree with other’s observations of a player then a good rule of thumb is to focus on sharing your own contrary opinion with supporting facts, while keeping your comments void of insulting hyperbole.
-
Knebel has given up a run in 5 of his last 10 appearances. Not feeling great about this right now.
-
4-4 ballgame I'm the bottom of the eighth, and Jeremy Jeffress has absolutely shut down the Dodgers. 1-2-... stuff happens..... OMG MOOSE. Heading to the top of the ninth. That will do, thank you!

Pretty much lose the signal every time there is a thunderstorm and in some cases just a storm with heavy rain.
-
My stupid DirecTV went out because of a storm so it looks like I’m counting on MLB Gameday and you folks from here on out.
-
Shaw had a .531 OPS against LHP this year before that at bat. Really struggling against southpaws this season.
-
Wow, really frustrating first strike call against Piña. Simply a bad call by the HP ump.
-
Not worth burning Shaw against a LHP.
-
Moustakas has hit well with runners in scoring position this year.
-
Some power hitters up this inning, would obviously love to see a long fly outta here.
-
Please don’t walk him to load the bases here, Jennings.
-
Cain now a HR shy of the Cycle.
-
Give Piña two hits for that one! Hit the ball twice in one swing, that is quite rare.
-
Random question for the In-Game Thread crowd. I want to buy a Brewers flag, but prefer flags with logo fabric that is stitched onto the flag. Has anyone ever come across a Brewers flag that was a stitched fabric logo instead of screen printed? I can’t find one online.
-
If he walks Grandal I would get him out of there, but that may not be an option if they are just getting someone up in the pen. Edit: Or he’ll just induce an inning ending double play instead.
-
I hope I am wrong, but things are starting to feel a little bit ominous for Chase. Guys seem to be tracking him much better and he isn’t close to the zone on many of these pitches.
-
Please don’t turn into a 4+ run inning.
-
Chase Anderson looked so effective coming into this inning, but alas he remains very home run prone this season. Now up to 21 HRs allowed on the season.

Here are some great of Jonathan Schoop from 2004. Schoop led Curaçao to the championship along with teammate Jurickson Profar. Based on the video it looks like Schoop will be just fine at Shortstop. And of course Harold Reynolds immediately puts an “Ozzie Smith” comp on the 12-year old Schoop.
