    I think it was @Mass Haaswho said something about because he was on the big league roster all of 2020, he cant elect minor league free agency next season as he would have been able to otherwise As a result, the Brewers can keep him off their 40 man until next year and pay him $1.1 million Once he's added to their 40 man this option will go however

    Fangraphs rankings are very strange (unsure when they were updated, but it is after the draft as they have Skenes in there) But they've got James Wood who has a lesser WRC+ to Chourio this season in AA with a 33.2% strikeout rate and doesn't play Chourio's premium defense ranked third And Jackson Merrill, a good shortstop with a 33.2% strikeout rate in AA ranked second and again a lesser WRC+ to Chourio Jackson Holliday is an absolute beast mind, remember the thought that picking him was a budget saver with the first choice ahead of Druw Jones (who to be fair is injured)

    Is Pete Alonso getting hot just in time to screw the Cubs? He mashed against MKE earlier in the year, it's only fair

    Tim Anderson will likely be banned for the series unless he wins an appeal (given he started the fight, quite clearly swinging first I'd imagine this is unlikely). That does help some

    I think timing has definitely played a part this season too.. he was on fire, it was extra base hits every other game, really comfortable at the plate, and got injured at the worst possible moment and out for two months. Since then he has done okay, but isn't tearing down walls like he did early in the year. The timing of Winker getting injured and then Rowdy struggling at this point just didn't help him, but I can see two ways he gets with the club again. 1) He goes on fire again, with a 1.100 OPS in Nashville and gets the callup to be a regular DH if the Brewers aren't hitting by the end of August (i actually think Canha has been unfortunate BABIP wise and looked solid at the plate) 2) the Brewers have him for next year. if he finishes the season out strongly, with a .950 ish OPS and the Brewers offense is going well enough they don't want to waste their final usage of him (especially with Tellez coming back, would probably mean DFA-ing Santana), then they'll keep him there, keep working in the offseason, and have him start next season in the majors

    Bump it! What a start by Freddy! He did really dial it in tbf

    I thought toglia was a first basemen.. could be interesting in right

    This sounds like exactly how not to run a club No wonder there's been so much underperformance when no one's getting pushed

    Rodriguez is having a mini slump since his four hit, two home run game in July, with just one hit across his last four outings. Hopefully just a small thing, with four K's in 16 plate appearances too Would be great to see a hot run and that hard quality contact before the DSL season wraps up

    They've also sold more than enough talent, its' a great time to face them with Cron, Grichuk and Brad Hand out, while facing some limited starters. It's time to make hay

    Please let tonight be fun...
  12. Jake McKibbin
    Have you noticed him getting closer to the batters box the last few weeks? An absurd increase in the number of HBP's he's had
  13. Jake McKibbin
    It's what we'd all love to see! If he gets close to 25 home runs this season they'll be in a great spot, if it's 20 ISH not so much!
  14. Jake McKibbin
    I actually thought he had some good AB's tonight.. nearly walked off, a rocket liner to left field for an out and a single. It's just not quite falling for him, but he'll get there (I hope 😅)

    The call by the guardians commentator is legendary "They're fighting, they're swinging, DOWN GOES ANDERSON" "Anderson squared off, José decked Im"
  16. Jake McKibbin
    I hate myself for saying anything. If they come back it's definitely on me 😂
  17. Jake McKibbin
    Henderson is absolutely mowing them down. One hit through green innings, five strikeouts (four swinging) Going from one strength to the next To add to this, it's taken just 34 pitches
  18. Jake McKibbin
    Wiemer has been excellent against lefties this season, he's slugged big time and has also looked more playable at the plate of late I'm slightly surprised Turang is in there but he's looked so smooth, excited to see if he can keep it going Burnes for a shutout anyone?
  19. Jake McKibbin
    It's just with a lefty effort, and tbf Tyrone Taylor has looked more like himself with a couple of Homers I think against lefties in his last two games, plus brings better defense and a chance to let Yelich rest
  20. Jake McKibbin
    I do find it interesting how hard the reds are pushing Andre Abbott with pitch counts etc, especially in lost causes, he's soaring last his previous innings high
  21. Jake McKibbin
    There might be something of very slightly notable consequence that may happen in the Reds game that shouldn't be mentioned
  22. Jake McKibbin
    Oh sorry may have come across wrong! I was thinking more in general recently that Eric Lauer has looked really good over multiple appearances not just this one, didn't mean to impinge the write up at all, really love reading these!
  23. Jake McKibbin
    Also the disappointment when you go check in on ACL team and there's no bitonti, Pratt or boeve. Thankfully o'rae has signed and stolen a base as per
  24. Jake McKibbin
    16 walks for brewers dos.. Incredible numbers, with just two hits
  25. Jake McKibbin
    Also it's quite incredible to see Matt Olson with 92 RBIs a week into August. What on earth
