Personally, I'm not optimistic about him doing anything for us down the stretch. There is our history of worthless, or worse, deadline reliever pickups for one. But he really is pitching very poorly lately including allowing 18 baserunners in just 7.2 innings over his last 8 road appearances. All the good things he did was early in the year.

Trade Values board has a losing that trade by about $21 million. Seems about right. Way too high of a premium paid for that return.

I would say he's done for today. Was probably never going to go more than 6 regardless.

I don't know about that. Many people didn't even want him on the postseason roster and many thought he'd be better served coming out of the pen long-term regardless. The turnaround in his control has been stunning.

While true, Hamilton shouldn't be in any sort of platoon situation with those two guys either.

The Rockies have never heard of the phrase "run prevention".

I wish we would stop wasting our time with adding marginal at best relievers for the stretch run. I don't expect much more out of Gordon than we got out of McCullers.

The only thing that's surprised me about McCullers is I thought he was hurt/worthless for at least 5 or 6 years by now, not just a measly four.

With one career homer versus a lefty, that was probably a little too big of an ask.

Coming into today, Yelich was .628 over the last four weeks while Joey was at .886. The gap has only grown wider today.

I would love to know how many homers have been hit over that shortened wall in right between the Brewers and opponents. I would swear we are deep in the hole in that regards.

Really going to stick to that story that Turang can hit lefties?

Sproat reminds me too much of Freddy. Get ahead and then throw non-competitive pitches or work too hard for Ks. It's why I don't miss Freddy AT ALL Could be wrong, Sproat just might have lousy control.

Nobody knows Dave May?

I have never liked Sanchez. The ABS challenge system has tripled or quadrupled that dislike.
