I think people get into the MLB draft now. It's a bigger thing than say 10 years ago. But to your point, not nearly the hype of the NFL draft. There are just so many casual fans that think they can evaluate talent. Heck, there are analysts that get paid to be on TV/radio that think they can evaluate talent and really don't have a clue. Most headlines leading up to the draft and after the draft are ones to get clicks. It's become rather annoying to me. I actually avoid much of it now and I used to love to tune into the draft. I think that's how the evaluation procedure goes of most casual fans. They read an article about Player X and how he's going to be the Next Big Thing, they read 3 paragraphs about it, they see a draft projection for him and they're sold. Then the guy ends up slipping 10 spots and falls to their favorite team and they end up in arms when their favorite team does the same thing that the 9 previous teams has done and passes on them. To be fair, the casuals don't always end up being wrong (TJ Watt). But they also usually don't even have a guy like Jaire Alexander or Elgton Jenkins on their radar.

This is the biggest scoop that Tom H has ever made, no lie. Anyway, excited to see Bettinger pitch.
-
They really could use another starter. It's pretty slim pickings even when fully healthy after you get past the first 5. And even some of their better ones aren't particularly efficient. It's still a really good rotation because Burnes and Woodruff are awesome, just not much depth. I wouldn't have a problem with a 6 man rotation but if it's going to be permanent I'd rather see a pretty established mid rotation guy or at least a young starter with some upside. . I guess right now given their options, Lauer is probably their best bet, but I'm not super comfortable with it. I know it's only 11 innings but he's been brutally bad. He was brutally bad in the spring. Whoever he was pitching in San Diego in an extremely pitcher friendly park, he hasn't been that guy since.

That's exactly what I was thinking. So the runner's base path is just "whereever he is?" OK, Marty.

Yup, does not get much worse than Tom or Adam. Not that 80% of Brewers twitter can see what Tom posts anyway. True story. I told Tom he was sounding like a company man one time and he blocked me immediately.
-
Even JJ himself admitted no team wants to touch him with a 10 foot pole. Probably a good reason for that even if he doesn't think so himself. As far as Rick Procello, meh, can't say he is any flashier than the fodder we have sitting around as is. Huh? This makes it sound like JJ knows no team wants to touch him and understands why. That's not the case at all. He knows no team wants to touch him, he's confused about it and has no idea why and wants to play. I don't know why either.

Pretty sure Patrick Weigel could have accomplished that. Not real happy this move cost a potential future pen arm. I wouldn't sweat Bickford. I liked him at one time, but I don't think they would have DFAed him for a guy like Godley if they thought he had any future value at all.
-
How are guys like Godley and Yardley employed on any 26 man roster, much less ours, when guys like Rick Porcello and Jeremy Jeffress are still available?
-
I don't even remember what kind of garbage we got for him in trade. Jacob Faria https://reviewingthebrew.com/2019/07/31/milwaukee-brewers-jesus-aguilar-traded-rays-pitching-help/ That's the guy. Apparently that article was using the term "pitching help" quite loosely.

Yup. Better than bending over and saying can I another Marty. And yet Marty still has a say in this game. Let's be honest, Marty has final say whether he's in the dugout or clubhouse.
-
Godley has got to stop walking guys.
-
Well, better score a lot today.
-
Whew. Too close.
-
On the one angle it looked like the glove making the tag kind of lifted up the arm. Could be. I only had one look. I miss DVR.
-
There’s no way you can say that was pretty clear It looked pretty clear to me. It took pretty clear to our own commentators on the 2nd angle. And it took them like 10 seconds to reverse it. I dunno, it was pretty clear.
-
I don't know what our case is on that one. Was pretty clear that his fingers came off. And I don't see any point where he's guided off the bag. Just looks like his own momentum took him off.
-
Sucks, but he came off the bag.
-
Prospective trade deadline targets?

I'm not underwhelmed. I think he'd be a great addition. -
Awesome work by Urias bailing out Shaw.
-
I'm a lot less aggravated with it when a guy is at least trying to put the ball in play and not sitting there guessing on a 2-2 count. Shaw has been playing this game awhile. He should certainly be smarter than that, and it's happened a number of times this year.
