I guess there really isn't room for Vaughn if Chourio or Yelich are not sitting and you're committed to Mitchell because of platoon advantage and Lara because he's Lara. Seeing Jones is still a shock to the system. But I suppose they are unlikely to face a LHP starter before the ASB so if Turang needs a break it might as well be now.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, please tell me it's a gigantic misunderstanding that Murphy has Greg Jones playing second base tonight with Turang (and Vaughn again) on bench.

That's right, forgot the extension came with a 40 add. So the Jones callup makes no sense to me from a roster balance perspective or from a talent perspective. Williams is not made out of egg shells.

Did Lara have to be added to the 40 when calling him up? Or was he already on? If already on, the Jones move makes no sense to me. I guess this says they are comfortable rolling with Joey O at three until the ASB. I don't expect to see Vaughn or, god forbid, Frelick over there unless it's a break glass situation.

That is what fans do: gripe about stuff they cannot control! Personally I don't feel like Perkins is going anywhere until Lockridge gets back. I like Perkins as a person, at least as far as you can tell from his media persona. But it does mystify me how he can go in two years from a serviceable option against LHP to someone you probably wouldn't hesitate to have a healthy Woodruff pinch hit for.

I cannot recall ever seeing a major league position player hitting under .100 two months into the season. That is quite impressive. Mid to late June return for Lockridge, that is three to four more weeks of basically sending a pitcher up to hit every two-three innings.

In case anyone has trouble finding it. This guy is hilarious. Gonna blow a gasket pretty soon, but good entertainment while it lasts.

I like Fitzpatrick better when he is limited to one inning.

I see Frelick wasted one in first inning 😈

Not watching but ESPN app has that first pitch to France completely within strike zone. Are Brewers out of challenges or is Sánchez even more clueless about strike zone than I thought?

That's about as disposable as they get, I suppose.

Matt Waldron threw 59 pitches Tuesday and Stammen has him out there again today for the 7th (and maybe 8th?). I guess maybe Waldron qualifies as disposable arm?

Found this on FB today, had a laugh.

Lockridge makes sense with all of the lingering injuries we've seen in the OF late in season. Was kinda hoping not to see Gasser show up again. I get leaving Henderson off, hasn't seen any live action in two months, would be asking too much for him to come back and pitch meaningful innings at this point in season.
