I wonder if my wife would accept a "Brewer offense" style of gift treatment. Knock out her birthday, valentines day, anniversary, and Christmas gifts on January 1st, then give her nothing the rest of the year.

Thames has not been especially helpful today. 5 outs in 4 ABs.
-
Damn it.
-
Getting really sick of Perez today. Trying to get Mikolas out of the game, Miller works a nice walk and Perez hacks first pitch and should have been 2 outs on one pitch. Still have no earthly idea why he gets a starting nod against Mikolas.

High warning track ball near the left field pole.

The inconsistency of this offense is just maddening...it really is all or nothing.

Miller called up, Santana optioned to AAA

And there's the problem. You can make a case, albeit an incredibly weak one, for Sogard on the bench, but no impartial individual can possibly make an unbiased case for Sogard starting over Villar at 2nd. And I say this as someone who isn't a Villar fan though you said I was. -
Villar isn't a black hole at 2nd, but he sure isn't someone that makes you want to really hold off on getting Hiura up here.
-
This is a tough Anderson start to evaluate. Didn't seem especially sharp and lacked command, yet struck out 9. Seemed lucky but gave us 5 effective innings. I'll take it.
-
Pham should legally change his middle name to Caught Looking.
-
Not really sure what the need was to work Perez into the lineup today. Mikolas isn't a good matchup for him. If you're going to start Hernan, do it against a lefty.
-
Dangerous pitch. Got away with it. Way to get out of it.
-
That wasn't a great sac bunt, but it wasn't atrocious. Is Pina carrying a piano on his back today?

In this day and age, why is purposely throwing a potentially harmful object at someone at a near 100 mph speed still considered to be an acceptable baseball 'thing'? If you did that anywhere but on a baseball field, you'd be arrested for assault. Right but you could say the same thing about sacking a quarterback or hacking a guy on an open layup. I can at least get behind those as strategy based things related to the performance of the sport. Beanballs and hockey fights kind of ...aren't really strategy based.
-
With that said if we are going to plunk someone tonight we should have kept Boone Logan for one more outing solely for the purpose of putting one in Munoz' ribcage.

Come on Chase. Sheesh. Going to end up with whiplash from all the bombs you're giving up this year.
-
Put the leadoff guy on for a struggling starter? No thanks. Matheny gave us a run, dumb managing. Hope he feels like a big boy about it.
-
This game might get ugly.
-
Damn, he's out.
-
Sheesh, thought it was a lazy pop fly off the bat and almost carried out.
-
Was waiting for Pham to get tossed again.

Making a case for an early promotion of Corbin Burnes

It just seems a little unnecessary right now. You've got Nick Ramirez continuing to dominate AAA batters, or if you prefer, Torres-Costa would need to be added to the 40 after this year and might be worth a look now. There are other ways to limit innings for Burnes this year while still keeping him on a starter schedule. There's no rush to put him on the 40. It's not that huge of a deal to me but I would probably give one of the two previously mentioned a shot first. -
All good if he does, for someone else. I wasn't saying he'll cost Ponce. I was saying Ponce is the ceiling of what I would give up for Happ.

Sogard is hitting .357 as a pinch hitter THIS SEASON with a .438 on base percentage. He has a .427 OBP in late/close games (7th inning or later with game tied, up by 1, or tying run at least on deck) and has a couple GW runs because of walks. Sogard plays steady D and usually makes decent contact.... stuff you would want in a pinch hitter and late inning replacement. He also had one of the best OBP on the team in 2017 and that needs to be remembered through his struggles. 1) Those stats are wrong, other than the late/close stat, which is over 20 ABs. You can pull a clutch/leverage stat over a limited sample size for literally almost any player and throw it out there to make him look good. 2) If you want to say Sogard usually makes decent contact, you should mention Sogard strikes out about 1 out of every 5 ABs. That's a lot for someone who offers absolutely nothing in terms of extra base ability. 3) I never recall you mentioning last year that Villar had one of the best OBPs on the team in 2016 and we should remember that throughout his struggles. Sogard isn't good. You can dress up his stats how you like, but this is lipstick on a pig.
