Santana deserves a day on the bench for that. Unreal.
-
That's a HR. Wow MLB umpires are terrible . EDIT: Well I guess I owe Jerry Lane an apology. Our radio announcers were adamant that was a HR. What a terrible play by Santana .
-
You say that like keeping Braun has so clearly been the right choice, who could be argued is just as unlikable, just in different ways. There were probably many Dodger fans last August making the same argument as you that they didn't want Braun because they want nothing to do with him. Anyway, Puig is a punk, but there's absolutely nothing to this other than the Mets whining because they're losing games. There's nothing there that hasn't been done many times without incident. It's also so ironic that Cespedes would lecture Puig on the right ways to play the game.

And it's not like we're trotting a 34 year old journeyman out to CF every day. Broxton *could* still be our CF of the future, and even if he's not, he's getting the numbers and ABs that with his controlability will make him a hell of an attractive trade chip. If Brinson is the guy it'll happen eventually. There's no reason to force it to happen. We can debate all day whether Brinson should even be up right now but there's really no debate that the every day centerfielder for the Brewers is Broxton's job right now.
-
On a serious note, I never would have fathomed in any universe this season that Eric Sogard would supplant Villar at 2nd by June, and that people would generally be ok with it.
-
Brinson can and most likely will go back to AAA when Braun returns. He isn't playing every day anyway up here and there's absolutely no reason to rush him.
-
For me it's good enough right now but I'd try as hard as I could to trade him. Consistency is just too high a priority for me and I just don't know if Broxton will ever be that. Consistency stops long losing streaks. Having few or no long losing streaks gets you in the playoffs or at least a great shot at them. As many consistent players you can find helps you do this. Hard for me to quantify consistency. I don't know that a .775 OPS, 24 HR line from CF is better if relatively consistent, or if the hot and cold streaks that get to that number are better, or if it's all the same. I also have no problem with trading Broxton for the right offer. They need to find a way to clear up this OF logjam sooner or later one way or another. But you do run a bit of a risk -- while Broxton has highs and lows, he is starting to become more of a known quantity, while there is still the possibility that Brinson doesn't turn into the player we had hoped for, although I don't think that is any more or less likely based on his slow start in limited MLB ABs.

Who goes from the outfield? I would think Phillips will go when Braun comes back by why would any other move need to be made in order for Brinson to play? I don't think Broxton has done enough to block anyone. Assuming Broxton's defense picks back up, a .774 OPS and 20-25 HR power isn't good enough in CF? Tough crowd.

Who goes from the outfield?
-
It's definitely bad, but I have to think it's an aberration and not a trend because he was so good defensively last year. He's basically the exact same player he was last year on average only the defense hasn't been good.
-
Santana getting hot again!
-
Nice edit. Can't believe anyone caught that.
-
Looking like another gem of a home stand. So much for making ground against the easy part of the schedule.
-
I'll take it, but yeah, not sure how they overturned that .
-
Wow, watching in real time it didn't look to me like Arcia even came close to touching 2nd.
-
Would Mark A even want to go back to Nashville? That was a pretty ugly breakup the first time .
-
The 2016 Cubs are still relevant to 2017 in the sense that they are returning a ton of talent this year from a championship team. 100% this is still the Cubs' division to lose. Even Rock and BA who are company men through and through admitted this much on the air yesterday. While Arrieta's struggles may be for real and their rotation appears to have taken a step back, it's really unrealistic to think they are going to be floundering around .500 all season. Since the Wild Card doesn't appear to be in play I wouldn't advocate doing any major buying unless we are comfortably in 1st near the deadline, which I don't think is likely.
-
Another inning, another squandered scoring opportunity.
-
Thanks, Sogard and Thames. Wasn't interested in getting back into this game anyway.
-
'Ryan Braun has stalled in his progress returning from the calf injury, still no timeline. ' Shocking news.
-
Everyone got all excited about the upcoming schedule. Too bad they can't win at Miller Park.
-
You are an absolute trash can, Davies. Spoiler alert: As long as this team can't even play. 500 ball at home they are going nowhere.
-
Broxton has been playing well. Is it absolutely essential for some reason that Nick Franklin be worked into the lineup once a week?
-
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I believe it to be true: Wily Peralta could be pretty easily removed from the 40 man and sent to the minors. Theoretically, he could be DFA'ed and placed on waivers. It's pretty obvious no one is going to claim him for 4+ million, and pretty clear Peralta isn't going to choose to forfeit that money by refusing the outright assignment. That's an expensive minor league player, but it doesn't really make a difference because we owe him that money regardless. It probably doesn't really matter, but if you want to continue the experiment down in the minors where he won't be hurting the MLB club rather than just releasing him, it's an option.

And the Cubs got out of it. What a crappy day.
