Bobby Portis is having the game that Middleton should be having. Khris has been invisible in the 2nd half. They need him to step up for these last 5 minutes. Just missing a 6-8 point scoring spurt from Middleton here.
-
Way too many turnovers of just not handling the basketball.
-
I guess teams are going to have to teach major league players how to slide and remain on bases with replay being used in those situations. Maybe go back to the Pete Rose type slides or even back to Ty Cobb: just spike the fielder so he can't maintain a tag.
-
Hiura was able to lay off the high pitches that at bat, but still amazed to see the swing throughs on pitches well in the zone. Piña cashes in, though.

I understand the reticence in extending another player long-term given the Yelich situation right now. But I would look at Adames a little bit different than Yelich and way different than Hiura. None of us know if the Adames performance of two months in 2021 for Milwaukee is the real deal. But I can look at his career numbers [bA/OBP/SLG/OPS] from only Tampa Bay over 332 games and 1254 PA: .254/.320/.420/.740 (That's including playing in a stadium that Adames has noted as not conducive to his hitting. It's also 474 more PA than Hiura has in his major league career.) There's a shortstop in the Brewers' past with comparable numbers [bA/OBP/SLG/OPS] over 571 games and 2298 PA: .262/.323/.428/.751. That's JJ Hardy's record during his time in Milwaukee. The team has been bouncing through shortstops since Hardy left after 2009: Escobar, Betancourt, Segura, Villar, Arcia. Just from his time with Tampa Bay, Adames looks on track to be a Hardy-type producer at shortstop. From what he's done in his MLB career so far, I'd consider that to be basically Adames' floor. That would be a great addition to lock in for longer than the team currently controls. Buying out some arbitration years while extending for a few more seasons shouldn't have to be a bank-breaking deal if done relatively soon [the "Peralta-type extension"]. If that is done and Adames' current performance as a Brewer proves to be the reality, then the team can think about a second extension later [the "Yelich-type contract"].

Felt a bit pessimistic after losing three straight at home against Cincinnati to go into the All Star Break. Sweeping them on the road right out of the break with three different types of wins is a real boost. Ends up being a 4-3 win in the seven game wraparound series to open up a 7-game lead on July 18.

One of the plays that will be shown multiple times in future years. Mets misplay a dribbler into a bases-clearing hit for the Pirates. Video from the Mets TV coverage:
-
A Yelich homer…rare sight this year. Nice to see.
-
Gotta get the first Reds batter out. Keep Suarez out of a potential 3-run homer.
-
Need to put a 4-spot up on the board and turn it over to whomever is left in the bullpen.
-
Terrible throw by Yelich.
-
Bad scenes outside Nationals Park of an active shooting incident, leading to abandonment of the game. Details getting out on TV and radio. Fans were sheltering in place, then now being let out of the stadium.
-
Burn down the replay. Just get rid of it completely at this point.
-
Noticed the FTX patches on the umpires’ shirts. Sponsorship deal, apparently: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ftx-sponsors-mlb-umpires-wear-134603911.html Have to say that I missed that news earlier.
-
With Russell Smith chosen, it looks like the Brewers are starting a pickup basketball team alongside the hockey players drafted this year.
-
Not supposed to be worried about a closer until he blows up games in bunches. It’s started to reach that point this week.
-
Need to go in cleats thigh high to put an end to the base blocking. Also MLB headquarters can collapse and the game would benefit from it.
-
Hiura gave it a good attempt.
-
6IP and 1ER from Woodruff. Got a good enough start. Offense needs to show up right now.
-
Reds look like the thorn-in-the-side team for the Brewers this season. Only mid-July, but Sunday’s game carries a little of that “must-win” feel to it.
-
On an MLB roster, not really.
-
Counsell’s not in the dugout managing.
-
Need to take the lead here. Feels like the game is completely teetering the Brewers way; don’t want it to switch back to the Reds if they work out of it.
-
Somehow manage to rally for three runs and shut down the 9th and forget the crap of this game. Time for the bats to show up.
-
Can’t get an image to post, but here’s a link to the Brewers batting splits versus starting pitchers through July 8. http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/v29wf
