  1. Cleveland is still very much in the race for the AFC Central. No way in the world they trade a top pitcher for that type of return.
  2. It's hard looking at Rollover (Yelich) and thinking the very best scenario you can expect is a walk. OPS at .700 and sinking fast. Time to IL him or bench him and let Vaughn play every day.
  3. Why would the Twins even consider such an awful deal? With 3B being a tough position to fill in MLB right now, Lee is a cheap, controllable player who isn't even arby eligible until 2028. The Brewers would have to come up with a much, much better offer.
  4. Jones in a very small big league sample, is whiffing at a 43% rate (34 Ks - 80 PAs)
  5. Turang is on a whiff binge since mid May. He's had a grand total of 4 games where he hasn't struck out at least once since May 13th.
  6. It looks like the league has caught up to Pratt very quickly. With two strikes throw anything top of the zone to his eyeballs and he whiffs. Is it time to DFA Kuhnel to free up a space on the 40 man and see what Leonard can do?
  7. That AB for Turang looked like he's never seen a curveball before. He's whiffing at a terrible rate the last couple of weeks. I think Murphy would love to sit him against leftys, but the problem is Hamilton is the only other inf. and he too is a lefty.
  8. Because Bauers whiffed on a pitch up in his eyes prior to Pratt batting. Brewers got caught with their two worst hitters up back-to-back in a clutch situation. They both did what everybody expected, whiffed on pitches that were balls.
  9. With the pen once again blowing up I know Murphy has a lot of worries, but it's time to sit Turang! He's all messed up with the bat and needs time off. I realize it means starting Ortiz and Hamilton, but right now they both may be equal or better options than Turang.
  10. Mitchell has also been whiffing at a terrible rate. 8 whiffs in his last 17 ABs, 35% whiff rate for the year. Taking too many good pitches.
  11. What the heck is going on with Turang. His average is now under .260 and he is whiffing a ton (12 Ks in his last 21 ABs). Yelich looks like just a shadow of his old self. His swing is stiff and he can't seem to track the ball. He took two 92 mph fastballs right down the middle and then missed a low slider by a foot. Murphy has few options right now at the top of the order.
  12. I can definately see Detmers but I think Adell is highly questionable, especially if the Brewers are giving up so much. Adell is a career .225 hitter with an OBP of only .280. His OPS is below 700 and an OPS+ of only 93. Plus he's not much with the glove. I'd much rather have Mitchell with Lara coming up soon and keep some of the prospects/MLB talent.
  13. Turang with 12 whiffs in his last 20 ABs. He's really struggling right now and needs some days on the bench. It can't be today with Hamilton also being a lefty, but soon. Right now he needs Perez to make a mistake so he has a chance.
  14. A real clunker for the offense. Yelich whiffing with the bases loaded pretty much sealed the game for Cleveland. Turang sure didn't help either. He is in a bad slump with the stick. 4 for his last 20 ABs with 11 whiffs. He needs to sit or be moved down in the order. I know Murphy hasn't any options other than playing both Ortiz and Hamilton at the same time, but right now Turang needs to sit for a while.
  15. As horrible as Turang has been laely, he's probably a better option than anybody else Murphy has. Arnold has to do something about the left side of the infield by the trade deadline. It doesn't look like Williams is ready yet and the black holes at 3B & SS have to be addressed.
  16. Bubic would be a nice "get" depending on the price. Obviously a rental, but he would be a good addition.
  17. Workman just doesn't look to be even an after thought. He's hitting .158 with a .158 OBP in a small sample size. 16 Ks in 38 PAs. A .254 hitter in the minors with a 33% whiff rate. I don't see him being any better than what's on the team now, no matter how weak. Rather than get a guy like that I'd rather see the Brewers promote some of their own talent.
  18. I think the Twins refuse immediately. Besides Pena and possibly Frelick, there isn't much there for the Twins. They would require much more. Ryan has a mutual option for $13+M next year and if he continues to pitch well he will certainly refuse it and seek a better pay day, so the Brewers would get nothing for him.
  19. A cap is desperately needed, but for anything to work you can't have one without the other.
  20. Machado is making Burnes' type money so Milwaukee couldn't afford him, just like Burnes. $25+M this year then $39+M after that. So far this year Machado is hitting .178 with an OPS+ of 70. That's going to change, but the money is far more than the Brewers would pay.
  21. Frelick's bat has been one of the biggest disappointments so far this year. Two huge chokes in cosecutive ABs. Failing to get Bauers over by hitting the ball to the left side with and no outs and then the choke in the 9th. Yelich didn't help matters either by whiffing with the two runners on. The good news is Bauers came through to get one back and Milwaukee won two of three from the lowly Twins despite going 4 for 32 w/RISP. Hopfully they'll start hitting again against the cubs.
  22. Lewis is making $2.9M and is arby eligible in 2027. He's hitting .170 (BABIP .211) and not fielding well. He does have a little power and might be slightly better than Rengifo at 3B. However, I wouldn't trade Lara for him. Wilken maybe, or a collection of fringe prospects.
  23. Great job by Ashby getting out of the minor jam. Mitchell's K's are quickly becoming alarming. He's whiffing at a 40% rate.
  24. Sproat is the million dollar arm, 10 cent brain guy. Send him back to the minors to learn how to pitch. Why keep running him and his 7 ERA out there. Bring up Crow or Henderson
  25. The Astros would laugh hysterically at your offer. They don't consider themselves out of contention. The A's are leading the division and they are one game over 500. Houston currently has 15 people on the IL and see the division as winable once their plethora of injured get back. Ortiz probably would have to be a minor part of a much better (and far more expensive prospect wise) package to get Pena.
