Bickford! Gets out of the jam. Cubs make the case for why sacrifice bunting might not be a good idea.
Sac bunt, strike out, walk, strikeout - game over.
Who do we send down to make room? Is it bad that Santana and Canha might be some of our weaker bats? I realize it has only been a week.
I suppose Perkins can be sent down.
MA is smart enough to understand ‘sunk costs.’ We paid Lorenzo Cain money to go away.
I can understand the idea that Winker is an established professional hitter who may bounce back. It actually doesn’t matter how bad Winker has been for the past three months. We need Winker or anyone to simply be good for the next three months.
That said, I’m willing to believe Milwaukee is keeping Keston off the 40-man roster until after the trade deadline.
I cannot imagine the Brewers acquiring a truly game-changing bat via trade because I presume it would cost a lot of prospects. I like CJ Cron but is he a game changer?
I agree that one game from Frelick is a small sample. Is there a compelling reason to play Tyrone Taylor over any of the other outfielders on the roster?
