Cap. The unlimited payroll of the Dodgers is why small market teams like the Brewers fall short, no matter how well they are run. The floor is just something to make a cap more palatable to the players.

Always good to beat the Dodgers.

I'm not so sure of that. I don't think Cubs fans like him right now.

Hamilton! Speed = Power.

After a 12-4 start to May, I hope all the predictions fall short, except the fanciful 27-0 and the slightly impossible 100-0 (unless that's the prediction for today's score against the Cubs). Since the highest win prediction was 17, that would mean only a 5-5 finish to the month.

He's even sadder now.

Fitting that the last out was a tough chance for Oritz.

If you are looking at baseball-reference, their WAR really hates first base.

Time for another crooked number.

But in that case, Bubba came in with a 5 run lead and Pittsburgh extended it to 9. Patrick did 4 innings with no cushion at all.

It's so good to have Chourio back.

Ugh.

SD defense looks like they slept through spring training.

The Padres should be about 500 with that run differential. So the Brewers should help them get there.

It's not unusual for a pitcher to look at third in that situation, since it wasn't a great bunt. But Hamilton's speed is unusual.
