Ken Rosenthal in his recent roundup for The Athletic, mentioned that it's likely the Miami Marlins will be looking to deal pitchers at this trade deadline. They already moved Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres early in the season and with new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix tasked with rebuilding a painfully depleted Marlins farm system, it's likely he will use the trade deadline to build out the farm system. Three names mentioned are starting pitchers Jesus Luzardo and Braxton Garrett while reliever Tanner Scott is also likely to be dealt. Scott is on an expiring contract this season but starters Luzardo (free agent after 2026 season) and Garrett (free agent after 2028 season) are long-term pieces that would require a hefty prospect price. While it's questionable whether the Brewers will be in the reliever market at the trade deadline (though aren't all contenders?), it's not unreasonable to expect them to look to improve the starting rotation down the stretch.

Cubs (Taillon) vs Brewers (Rea): 5/30/24, 12:10pm
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
me dumb, lost track of the beisbols -
It's the rubber match. The Crew were the first team to get to Shota. Impressive win last night.
-
Tough game yesterday and with Shota on the mound, tonight won't be easier.
-
The return of Craig! I'm sure his welcome will be quiet and short.
-
Anybody know who's starting for the Crew today?
-
Thanks for starting up the thread today, treego!
-
A day off to gather yourselves, let's get back to some winning ways now.
-
Yeah...
-
Prospect voting complete, thank you for voting!
Brock Beauchamp replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
There are also writer votes to consider, which are not tracked in the thread. But yeah, the voting period was open for longer than normal and it wouldn't be surprising if the early votes were markedly different than later votes. -
The Brewers get a breather against the last-place Marlins, hopefully they can take advantage of it.

Are people seeing site slowness?

We're getting hammered by DDOS attacks, trying to combat them. -
Sites are a mess this morning, cannot upload images or embed anything like tweets AND we're getting hammered with DDOS attacks. A perfect weekend, in other words. At least posting text comments still works fine.

I spent a few minutes thinking about it this morning and I think the only two teams I legit *hate* in baseball are the Cardinals and Astros. I don't even know if I hate the White Sox anymore, they're just so pathetic. So beat the hell out of them this weekend, kthxbye.

He's of the Bay City Rollers.

I had a three minute phone call that required me to step out of the room. How many Brewers homers did I miss?

A generational heist of a trade.

And, at the very least, that's exactly what should be done with young lefties like Turang. If you're going to rest him, do it against LHP.

Who is #1 in Twins history in doubles. 😁

I very rarely take issue with platooning a LHB against LHP. All but the greatest lefty hitters were, at best, mediocre against LHP. Barring a few weird split examples where some lefties don't have extreme splits but you can usually identify those very early on in the minors. Joe Mauer, Hall of Famer and one of the most pure lefty swings in recent baseball history. Dude had a .740 career OPS against LHP. Christian Yelich, perhaps the best hitter in baseball for two years and a very good overall hitter for several years more than that, has a career .769 OPS against LHP. The fact is that the overwhelming number of lefty hitters flat-out suck against LHP. Only the very best hitters are even decent against same-handed pitching. Long story short, 90% of LHB in baseball should be platoon candidates (ignoring defense and other factors).

Platooning a significant part of your roster is smart management. The way the Brewers are platooning and who they're using in the platoons are the problem.
