Im glad Bauers didnt get an at-bat there because he clearly should be hitting behind Yelich and Contreras everyday. -
Chourio walking and Vaughn coming through against the righty isn't as usual as Id like it to be. But Ill take it.
-
Contreras moves for no reason to give up the run and Turang jogs to cover first. Terrible.
-
I dont have a problem with either the TV or radio guys generally. I dont like Dillard doing games at all but hes fine on the postgame show. That said. Sproat is clearly starting to fall apart, we've all seen it before. He gets behind in the count and throws a fastball right down the middle. BA is amazed by it and saying he has "ace stuff". It was a little ridiculous, not only because it was a poorly placed pitch, but also because I think we could all see what was coming.
-
He doesn't seem to have the mentality. Right after giving up the soft hit, I said hes going to walk the next guy, and he did. Also, if you're unlikely to get a hit, dont challenge the first pitch, Hamilton.
-
Annoyed they gave up Ragsdale, happy this is the last Sproat start of the season.
-
If we have 10 Lambos and need to give some away, we should have been able to get Skubal.
-
2 years in a row with an era+ below 100. I dont want him starting game 2. If thats the plan I like this trade even less.
-
And there are 3 OF spots. And Frelick, Blake Perkins, Lockridge, and Matos all got playing time out there this year. And this is the first time Mitchell has ever stayed healthy.
-
Hate this trade. Im down to trade prospects for difference makers. For a below average starter and an average middle releiver, Id rather keep Ragsdale. If I wouldnt be excited to give a starter the ball in October, Id rather keep prospects. Im not excited to give the ball to May in October.
-
Heres what Id say to anyone on the roster that might be upset with the front office Contreras - run out a gorund ball and Ill listen to your concerns Vaughn - if you want the team to improve hit righties better, be thankful we turned your career around Bauers - you're having a great year, but we resurrected your whole career, just be grateful Turang - ill listen Pratt - we gave you big money unproven and you haven't been up long enough to be upset 3b platoon - hit better DH - youre the biggest reason we dont have salary flexibility besides market size Mitchell - just worry about staying healthy Chourio - stop watching strikes and swinging at balls Frelick - there's the weightroom, use it, and then get back to me Lara - See Pratt And if a pitcher is sad someone didn't come take their job then I want someone more competitive Luckily, none of these guys are complaining, its just fans upset at failed trades projecting their feelings on to others.
-
This is all the more reason to hope he fails miserably. When he loses the deciding game of the WC series for them Im going to pour myself a drink, image the unforgettable Greg Council rubbing his head with his hat, and reminisce about his no trade list.

I feel bad for the people that have read this same exact post in multiple threads, including, for some unknown reason, the game thread. We get you have feelings about your perception of others feelings. I wonder in Henderson and the guys that came up with Henderson are sad they didnt trade him for a rental. If our highest paid player is sad, I would tell him to live up to his contract so the rest of us aren't sad watching him ground to second. If any of these other grown men are sad they didn't improve the team they should just put it upon themselves to play better. Be the change you want to see in the world and whatnot. If you think this is the year they should have been more agressive with giving up prospects to go for it, thats valid. You can make an argument for that. Personally, Im on the fence, it depends on what and for who. But if you want to drone on about feelings, we've already heard it. Grown men shouldn't feel bad for themselves because someone better than them didnt get hired at their job (and I highly doubt that they are). The should man up and be better instead.

If the Brewers go on a win steak the race could get real far real fast. If you take out the ifs, the Brewers were up 5 games on July 2nd, They are up 6.5 games on August 2nd. F' the Cubs.
-
This is the game thread. There is an entire trade forum with multiple threads.
-
If it was a team full of spoiled 8 year olds, they might consider it. Fortunately, they are not.
-
Hes been their best hitter most of the year. I agree, your best hitter doesnt hit 5th. Though I dont think Murphy has made a lineup with Yelich of Contreras hitting below 4th.
-
I expect them to win 3-2.
-
But the more hits he gives up, the more total pitches he throws. He still had go get the outs that inning with his fastball. The cutters for hits were just extra pitches.
-
They have a lot of good hitters. But they dont have anyone scary, no one gets pitched around. Not that that is available.
-
Great play by Chourio.
-
I feel like 90% of the hard hit balls off Miz are cutters. Can we just put that pitch on hiatus, fix it in the lab, and bring it bacl next year?
-
No, Im out of market and have the single team MLB package. Ive also had to get Peacock and Apple TV separately to watch games. I could be wrong, but I want to say I had to go to another app, either Prime or Paramount to watch games though I already had those. Also, I think it was $129 this year.
-
In addition to that, another big thing with the money difference is that the Dodgers can afford to miss. Yelich is the Brewers' highest paid player and faltering. To the Brewers thats a big deal, and that contract prevents them from other moves. If it was the Dodgers, they would just go out and sign someone like Betts, Freeman, Ohtani, Tucker, etc, to replace him. Tucker hasn't been great, but thats the point. They can just go get the next one when they miss.
-
I like Hamilton for what he is, a defensively versatile IF, and a great PR off the bench. But I felt like Ortiz earned that 3b job while he was out. He at least earned a chance to keep it until he stopped hitting. Oh well, it is what it is. On the flipside, Ortiz has been given a ton of chances to turn his hitting around for 2 full seasons and didn't until a month ago. So there's that.
