Will probably see Mathias back up tomorrow, and probably Billy McKinney as well, depending on how bad Gamel is (I assume Braun is going on the IL). They have Corey Ray and Keon Broxton in Appleton as well. All that, in a playoff hunt? Woof.
Anyone that tells me Arcia is the same player he’s been makes me chuckle. Noticeable difference this year. The adjustments have been made and he’s grown as a player. He’s just never going to mash.
I give credit to Braun for trying to play through something. Had two hits while doing it. Just completely sucks his body won’t let him play consistently anymore.
Per McCalvy: Pat Murphy didn't miss a beat. Says he showed up today and introduced himself to Daniel Vogelbach by saying, "How did *I* have a heart attack and you haven't had a heart attack?" Murphy says Vogelbach looked at him like, "Who is this guy?"
When did he do this? Can't find any reference to this incident online even on Twitter. Seems like a pretty unfair take even if this did happen. I've never seen anything to indicate that Grisham lacks class much less is a complete "clown." Twitter I’m not sure how “unfair” I’m being as he was a buffoon after hitting a homer. Like another poster said, arrogant.
You must've just not read that I mentioned division winners getting in. Either way, just because the Brewers have been at a disadvantage monetarily for 50 years, doesn't mean I want the system blown up into something that doesn't provide the best product.
After seeing Grisham flip the bird to the camers in the dugout, it made it even easier to not give a damn that he is in San Diego. Seems like a complete clown out there and I am believer that he will just be a middle of the road type player that flashes here and there.
Maybe this gives a team like the Brewers more opportunity to win but it becomes gimmicky when you are talking about playing 162 games in the regular season to decide things. A team that wins 75 games doesn't really belong getting a shot at a team that wins 95+. And this would happen just about every season which means you probably are never getting a true champion of your league. Baseball is a strange game with odd occurrences and strange bounces. Just doesn't seem right. I'd almost rather that they put in a number of games needed to get in. Win 85 games (or you win your division) and you get included in the postseason. And have various formats/schedules ready for how many teams get to that number. At least then you are getting some teams that are of quality.
