Murphy almost had to run for Sanchez there. Knowing his B pen was going to pitch in the 10th he had to go for the win. With Bae and Bunty coming up it's most likely going to be two easy outs. He had to hope Turang wouldn't choke and whiff. It's going to be interesting who hits when the pitcher's spot is up.

You're right. If they lose this game it's squarely on Pancake. Drohan was finished last inning and letting him go out for the 5th was just stupid.

What 's up with Turang? He's whiffed in 7 of his last 14 ABs.

No way in heck!! Henderson has been doing a great job and zero chance they trade Made in the division.

Look on the birght side, at least he didn't rollover into a DP! It's time for Pancake to admit Yelich isn't what's best for the team right now and sit him.

I don't think we'll ever know what bats were actually available for the right price. Certainly on the surface you are right that nobody who would have made a difference was out there. In the off season the only position players I would not part with are: Turang (yes I know he looked horrible and whiffed twice in clutch situations), Pratt (looked horrible with two whiffs also), Churio (not doing well lately, but very young), and Bauers (if they can re-sign him reasonably). It looks to me like Contreras is playing himself into a trade. They might keep Sanchez at a friendly contract IF Contreras is shipped out. I don't think they'll keep Vaughn at an estimated $9.5-10M. Mitchell has gone cold and Frelick never heated up. Both of them and Lara would be tradable for the right deals. Hamilton and Ortiz if anybody wanted them (I'd probably keep one for a utility guy). The Crew is stuck with the biggest albatross, Rollover (Yelich) and his contract for two more years. Who knows what 2027 will bring or if there is even going to be any baseball.

The classic million dollar arm, 10 cent brain. Sproat needs to see the minors for the rest of the year to learn how to pitch.

I don't think anybody realistically believes the Crew has any shot at the W.S. with this offense. I'm happy Arnold didn't waste any good prospects chasing a rental in Skubal. Getting beat 2-0 or 8-2 doesn't matter, It's still a loss. Keep the prospects and hope some of them turn out to be helpful. With 2027 looking to be all but lost, no sense in losing good prospects for rentals. The Dodgers getting Skubal I believe, forces MLB to address the monstrous disparity that clouds baseball.

Imagine that, Rollover rolls over on yet another one. Many have questioned why Yelich is batting so high in the order, I am one of those. I know Murphy won't ever sit Yelich for a long stretch, so it's just venting by me.

None of the three is an improvement over what the Crew already has. Do nothing trades are a waste of time.

Rollover does what he does best, dinky ground ball (or whiff).

There is no need for the Brewers to keep a 5th OF if the keep Vaughn. With Bauers ability to play OF and Yelich the emergency OF, they don't have room for a 5th full time OF. Vaughn, Sanchez, Hamilton, and the 4th OF make up the 4 man bench.

Big shoutout to Yoho (with some help from Mitchell) for a great job in the 10th. The entire staff looked very good tonight holding a good Marlin team to one run.

Whew!!! After the untimely chokes by Rollover, Churio, Turang, and Bauers, Mitchell comes up HUGE!! Then the icing on the cake, the Twins do the Crew a big favor and beat the cubs. Hopfully this win will get the Crew hitters out of their funk and lead to big winning streak.

Not a Springs fan. In his last 5 starts covering 23 innings he has given up 27 earned runs and 28 hits. His fip is 6.04...I'd hope the Crew looks for someone a lot better.
