Braves (Sale) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 8/21/26, 3:10pm

“He continues to shine here” - BA about Senzatela. Crazy statement. -

Could really use 7+ from Miz today. Have to assume Ashby, Patrick, Hall are all down, plus Drohan is starting Sunday. So really only have Megill and Senzatella for leverage, and Wilson/Anderson otherwise. I think they should consider sending Gasser down for another bullpen arm and either go back to a 5 man or bring up Crow for his next spot in the rotation. -
Mariners (Kirby) vs Brewers (Gasser): 8/20/26, 1:10 PM
DonBarclay replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Archived Game Threads
Would make sense to option Gasser to AAA after the game and bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen. Can have Crow take his next start, he’s been great over the last month. -
Not used to having Bryse Wilson mop up a big lead rather than getting toasted.
-
Same. I was shocked he wasn’t bunting lefty lefty. Much more shocked at the result!
-
Lockridge is a faster pinch runner. Realistically, that is the role. Bauers is going to play OF against lefties, along with Lara and Chourio. Against righties, Chourio, Mitchell, Lara - and I’d place Vaughn at 1B (assuming health and 3B is over for him) and Bauers in the OF before I’d play Frelick. Sal is better than Lockridge, but not for the role that is available.
-
3-4 on this trip would have been an acceptable outcome going into it. Go get one tomorrow and get to the off day.
-
1. Yes he was. His entire body crossed the base by the time they put the tag down, with his foot on the bag. It was not even remotely close. 2. You’re not factoring in that Edwin Diaz is one of the very worst pitchers in the league at holding runners. Feduccia is also well below average at throwing out runners. It’s a risk, but not terrible process or in any way egregious.
-
I don’t see the correlation between these two things. I don’t think anyone you call up would have pinch hit for Ortiz there. So there’s no added value in the situation if you have Turang on the IL. Assuming Turang is back before an IL stint would have him back, there’s nobody you’re calling up that plays over the current lineup.
-
???? Did you watch the steal? He was safe by like 6 feet. I feel like I’m on a different planet reading some of this stuff.
-
What did you want him to do? Take until he had two strikes?
-
If they don’t want to pay him $12m, they’ll pick up the option and trade him. Catching is a very scarce commodity, and many teams would be thrilled to pay Contreras $12m, and give up a prospect for the opportunity to do so.
-
Idk what to tell you, other than that there’s no chance whatsoever they decline the option. I’d bet my life on it. He’s a 3x all star, 2x silver slugger, 2x top 11 MVP and still hits above average for a catcher. Plays every day. His down year right now is worth more than $12m on the open market, by a decent amount. He’s only 28, and very likely to have several years of solid production left. You don’t weigh a few bad months over all of that. Simply put, you’re wrong.
-
He’s also the only guy on the team that makes that catch.
-
Mitchell’s going for the rare platinum sombrero all looking. I wonder if that’s ever happened before.
-
It’s not a question though.
-
Yes, I did. If they didn’t think slug was important at the MLB level, they wouldn’t be spending first round picks on college players like Burke and Fischer with slug. They obviously plan for them to slug at the MLB level. They couldn’t predict a complete power outage from Contreras and Yelich or injuries to Vaughn and Chourio. Reasonable predictions would put just those 4 at about 30 more HRs this year than they have.
-
Their recent draft strategy would disagree that they have no focus on slug.
-
There is absolutely zero chance they don’t pick it up. Zero. Decent chance they pick it up and trade him, but there is no planet where they decline $12m.
-
I promise you, Lockridge is not the ticket to slug 😂
-
Idk what this is based on, but not reality. Lockridge has 1 HR in 239 MLB ABs and 6 AAA HRs in 677 ABs. Lara had 9 HR in 287 AAA ABs and so far 0 in 74 MLB ABs.
-
Ortiz’s batted ball luck lately has been fantastic. Here’s to hoping it sticks around for a while.
-
I mean. It was maybe 1” out of the zone - what are we talking about here? He had a good at bat and hit the ball hard.

Brewers (May) vs Padres (Ray): 08/12/26, 3:10 PM

Anybody have an answer for why Hamilton is at SS over Ortiz?
