Houser goes 6+ innings without giving up a hit, takes Norris 2 hitters to give up 2.
-
Just keep winning 60% of our games and they're not making up 7.5 games between now and the end of the season.
-
I'm automatically suspicious of a self-proclaimed insider with 246 followers. But I certainly hope he's right.
-
I remember seeing a story about Sal Romano being waived by the Yankees the other day and thinking, "I remember him from the Reds, that guy has always sucked, I hope we don't claim him."
-
If the Jays really thought Axford could come in and help their pen, they would have had him doing that rather than selling him for $1. I think people had too high of expectations for what we are/were going to get from Axford. He is here for very short-term coverage while the pen is depleted, and he happened to get into the game last night because it was 6-0. Anything beyond that is a gravy best case scenario.
-
The man is 38, hasn't cracked any big league bullpen recently and hasn't pitched at this level in 3 years. How good do you think modern day John Axford is?
-
I never expected him to be anything more than a band-aid while we're dealing with COVID anyway. The odds that he was going to magically turn back the clock and be a big part of our pen down the stretch were always very remote.
-
He recorded one out, for whatever that's worth.
-
If he isn't hurt, he'll get more chances. Until COVID-19 runs its course through the bullpen, at least.
-
I wish you the best Ax, but this ain't gonna work out.
-
This is getting a lot less fun. Probably not the guy we want to be the interim closer right now.

Hader to Covid IL - Latest: Hader reinstated, Milner to AAA
adambr2 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Just keep in mind that any time lost by a key pitcher now is a little less load management that we need to worry about in late September and October. -
Escobar seems like a pretty good rental for two players so important that I forgot their names already.
-
Adames seems like someone who is an absolute blast to have in the clubhouse.
-
Reynolds is kind of an annoying turd.
-
I saw Adames hit into a double play, they went to commercial break, they came back, and Lauer is standing on 2nd in the bottom of the 3rd still and I'm confused.
-
No worries, we'll trade a 2nd for him at the deadline.
-
Does a no-hitter that isn't a shutout really deserve a no-hitter alert on MLB.com?
-
Not really. "How much are you going to pay me" is quite a bit higher on the question list of prospective free agents than "when do you think you will be contenders again?" In any event, the large payroll of the Cubs makes it unlikely for them to need numerous years to turn it around.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/brewers-josh-hader-covid-19-list.html Good grief, this is getting ridiculous. -
My guess is he's just here to cover in a depth role for a week or so while we're short on guys who are out for COVID and then he'll be gone when they're back. We shall see, though.
-
Sounds like a solid pickup assuming it is 2011.
-
Yes, Grisham is a CF. Big difference between offensive expectations between a CF and corner OF.
-
Keep in mind that Grisham is widely considered an elite defensive player and plays a premium defensive position. Even with his struggles he is STILL on pace for a 4 WAR season. I will definitely admit though that this trade looks much closer than I ever thought would have happened at the early part of this season. I believe that Urias had more years of control over Grisham when we acquired him too and Lauer certainly more than Davies which factors into the values as well.
