  1. These guys have got to start figuring out lefty pitching a little bit. Everyone and their mother has been knocking around Patrick Corbin this season.
  2. 2 outs and a chance to get out of it and Anderson can't get one of the worst hitters in baseball out.
  3. I would bet on Pina returning for a similar $1.5-2M contract. He is a great complement to Narvaez, and he has years of experience with the pitching staff. He had a late start to his career and has less wear especially now as the backup, so his age isn't a huge concern to me. I think he should have 2 or 3 good seasons as the backup yet in him.
  4. This game thread should put an end to the "people only show up here when we do bad" argument.
  5. Yesterday felt like a game we were going to lose and we won. Today felt like a game we were going to win and we are going to probably lose.
  6. I think they pursued Scherzer because he's awesome and they thought he could help them win a World Series, nothing more. You can't have too much great pitching.
  7. Maybe stop throwing your changeup, dude. Thought that was another.
  8. Seriously, he is just serving up meatballs at this point.
  9. Hard to say it wasn't a bad pitch. It was pretty much the definition of a hanger.
  10. Really a bad last couple outings for Woodruff.
  11. I know Molina has had a great career and all but the loyalty the Cardinals have shown to keep him around is just nuts. He's an average player at his position at this point in his career and now they are extending him again. They are letting guys like Wong walk rather than pay him. Can they not find a better use for $9M than a 40 year old catcher?
  12. 2 outs it was the right call There was a slight misplay by O'Neill. Not even much of a misplay but wasn't quite able to grab it on the first swipe and it cost him a second or two, prior to that I think Wong was holding.
  13. I'm not sure that the Cards deadline strategy of bringing in every washed up vet starter that they could find is going to be enough.
  14. Few things are more satisfying in baseball than seeing your hitter come through with a 2 out, 2 run single.
  15. I don't mind a fastball 0-2, but elevate it out of the zone. Right down the middle is not ideal.
  16. I think they are trying to keep Ashby stretched out for longer outings and prefer the arm for this stint that they can just be flexible with since they won't need an extra starter over the span.
  17. I'd rather get the 35% chance someone else eliminates them before we have to play them. Should be higher than that. If they don't win their division they probably have at least a 35% chance of just losing the WC game.
  18. Good move. Even if you're not sure he has to miss his next start yet, it basically just amounts to skipping one start, you get an extra arm during the time, plus we need to carefully manage Freddy's innings anyway. Zero reason to push Freddy with a big division lead.
  19. To be clear, I am not suggesting that we root to lose or not try to win as many games as possible. Just saying that if I have the choice between a 1 seed with a likely Dodger/Giants draw in the NLDS and then likely having to face the other in the NLCS, or the 2 seed and a guaranteed NLDS draw with the East winner, I'm taking the latter. Frankly, even if it's the Reds that win the WC I'd rather have the Braves in the NLDS. I don't love divisional matchups in the playoffs as the favorite.
  20. Unless his performance goes completely south at some point, Hader is our closer for as long as he is a Brewer. It isn't worth debating changing his role at this point because it isn't happening. I'd be all about Olson. 2 years is enough control to be worth a decent investment. Rowdy has had some really nice moments, but let's be honest, it's been 83 ABs. We still don't know if he is our answer at 1B or not. I'll take the established top 5 player at his position. Not that I'm looking to get rid of Rowdy. If the DH ends up in the NL there's plenty of opportunity to get him ABs too if he keeps up his hitting.
  21. You’re saying you’d rather that the Brewers play Atlanta? I don’t think it’s clear at all. What if the NLDS was against wild card winner Cincinnati? What if MKE sweeps the Reds, while ATL and SF play a full series, allowing the Brewers to set up and rest their rotation? So many variables. Just two days ago there was talk about the Reds easy schedule. Things change in the blink of an eye, or a swing of a bat. Very little is clear or simple. Pretty exciting, though. Yes, I'd rather play Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't have the pitching to match up well in a 7 game series, and they're without their best player.
  22. I'm in the definitely prefer 2 seed camp. Fortunately the Giants haven't slowed down much either.
  23. It's hard to believe that JBJ could be this bad of a hitter. He's never been Tony Gwynn, but he could at least keep up a respectable line most years. He's actually had one season almost exactly like this before, but it was back in 2014.
