I read one of those "articles" the other day about how Rhys has been everything the Brewers could hope for and Brewer fans should be hoping he exercises his option for next year and I realized basically anyone can be a sports journalist these days.
I miss the rare but always unique if it happened blockbuster trades after the first trade deadline in August.
IIRC we were very close one year to dealing Ryan Braun to the Dodgers in an August waiver trade.
We're slipping away in the race to avoid the WC round. That means our season could be over 2 games into the postseason just like that, and I absolutely loathe the thought.
The throw was definitely on Willy, the error definitely on Willy. It was Willy's mistake. It's just that there are a lot of 1B out there that can bail their infielder out of a bad mistake. Hoskins is never that guy.
Yeah, that's going to be the biggest loss for sure. The additions are exciting, perhaps a healthy Yelich and an effective and healthy Woodruff would be amazing (though probably less realistic than we think).
But losing Adames will sting.
