[sarcasm]Could have pinch hit Kratz and left him in to pitch.[/sarcasm] -
With a runner in scoring position it seems worthwhile to at least taking a chance at scoring the go ahead run. Must really not have any other pitching options?
-
Wow, not good.

Ken Rosenthal update via Twitter: #Orioles remain in talks on Machado, sources tell The Athletic. #Yankees’ interest described as “serious” - @JonHeyman reported strong offer by NYY. #Dodgers , #Brewers also serious, while #DBacks, #Phillies staying in touch; PHI contact reported earlier by @JimBowdenGM.

Yadiel Rivera has one career major league home run. I thought he hit his second for a split second there.
-
Nice catch Thames!... don’t ever do it again.
-
Tough inning offensively.

Sorry if this Fangraphs article by Jeff Sullivan has been posted in one of the previous pages in this thread today, but figured it was interesting enough to share: The Precedent for a Manny Machado Trade In summary, Jeff speculates at the end that the Orioles will receive at least one ranked prospect as part of the return for Machado, and that in the case of the Brewers it would likely mean parting with Burnes.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
Eye Black replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I would call this a somewhat concerning trend (via @PaulHembo): MLB is on pace for fewer than 50 balls in play per game for the first time ever. 2018: 49.7 2008: 54.3 1998: 54.8 1988: 56.6 1978: 58.0 1968: 55.2 1958: 57.5 1948: 60.9 1938: 62.6 1928: 64.5 1918: 62.6 1908: 60.1 1898: 64.6 1888: 61.1 1878: 68.2 -
Come on Saladino, get that leg kick in gear!

And Jesús wasn’t even an All Star until a couple of hours ago. What an incredible season he is putting together.

Link Report for Wednesday 7/11 - Biloxi Brunch
Eye Black replied to And That's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
He is pitching in the Futures Game on Sunday. While he’ll likely only pitch one inning in that contest, I wonder if they limited his pitches today knowing he is going to be pitching again on three days rest? -
Yeah, I thought I typed 20.2, oops. Fixed it above, thanks.
-
He “likes” all of his own tweets on Twitter which seems weird, and then of course there was this strange incident. He is easily my least favorite of baseball’s national “reporters”.
-
Wow, 20.2 million votes, the second highest total ever in the ASG final vote. Well done, Brewers fans.
-
Yeah, have to assume Jeffress is among the next group of bullpen arms in line to get a spot. I wonder if they will announce the replacement for Doolittle today? Brewers could potentially start the day with three all-stars and finish it with five all-stars.

Apparently Garrett Richards just came out of the game tonight with an injury. Such a talented pitcher that just can’t stay healthy whatsoever.
-
I think I would rather roll with Burnes for two innings.
-
Well here we go! Come on Corbin!
-
In other news, Manny Machado just hit his second home run of the night against the Yankees. Now 23 HRs on the season.
-
Marlins have 8 hits, but it feels like 15.
-
This is an interesting analysis. The possible playoff contributions really do throw all the WAR and $ values out of whack though. Still, I like the measured approach--at trust that Stearns will do the right thing. There is currently a line of thinking that in past years teams would make July deals with the second half playoff run in mind, but this year there are many teams that are looking at the deadline as a way to cement their playoff roster instead. That especially seems to be the case in the American League where the playoff teams have pretty much been identified at this point.
-
No reason to muddy the waters. Three team trades are more off-season type deals. KISS Reminds me of arguably one of the most famous deadline trades in history that was a four team deal involving the Red Sox and Cubs... July 31, 2004: The Boston Red Sox sent Nomar Garciaparra and Matt Murton to the Chicago Cubs. The Minnesota Twins sent Doug Mientkiewicz to the Boston Red Sox. The Montreal Expos sent Orlando Cabrera to the Boston Red Sox. The Chicago Cubs sent Francis Beltran, Alex Gonzalez and Brendan Harris to the Montreal Expos. The Chicago Cubs sent Justin Jones (minors) to the Minnesota Twins.

If it was Arcia of last year I would agree, but Arcia’s offensive was so anemic this year that I don’t think you can justify it in a National League lineup regardless of how good the defensive profile is.
