Start off an inning with a walk in front of the meat of the order, you're just asking for trouble.
-
Like Cub fans, I'm ready for the robo umps. These guys are bad.
-
I am sort of impressed when it takes Hiura 8 pitches to strike out these days.
-
Yes. Yes there is no 40 man roster expansion in September. I think they can go up to 28.
-
As could probably have been expected, Shaw is not nearly as good as he was in '17 and '18 anymore, nor nearly as bad as he was in '19. He's a weak starting option, but not such a black hole that his presence makes an upgrade an urgent matter. But when you're looking at where you can upgrade your lineup before the deadline, you'd probably want to start with the Shaw/Robertson platoon.

Man. Made Arrieta work, and giving Woodruff any lead is nice, but we really had the chance to break this one open early. Gotta be able to come up with more than one run there.

Yelich's MRI revealed no structural damage or anything significant. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/04/christian-yelich-to-undergo-mri-for-back-injury.html

Why would a team trade someone like Yelich with three years left on a very team friendly contract? It would be like Trading Woodruff or Burnes this offseason. I supported the idea of trading Yelich with one year left but not three. Well the point I was responding was not in debate of the hypothetical of whether or not we would do that, it was whether of not another team would give up a significant return, which I said they would. But to answer your question -- because trade value depends heavily on the control remaining, and to your point, cheap control. A player on Yelich's level is worth significantly more when the control is more. If you trade him with one year left you're selling for significantly less. Obviously, doing so depends significantly on the state of your franchise. I wouldn't trade Woodruff or Burnes after this season either. I would have significantly considered trading Woodruff if this were post-2015 Brewer season and they were at where they are now with 3 years remaining, depending on the offer.

Sounds like Trevor Bauer needs to sit down and have a long, hard conversation with guys like Yadier Molina and Madison Bumgarner so they can tell him how wrong he is. "If you give up a homer, a guy should celebrate it. It’s hard to hit in the big leagues. So I’m all for it, and I think that it’s important that the game moves in that direction and that we stop throwing at people because they celebrated having some success on the field.”

Reading through some Chicago sports media this morning and it's remarkable to me how much everything is about that call. Good heavens, yes, it was a bad call. We don't even know if it would have changed a single AB, much less a game. It didn't come on a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded, it was an 0-0 count where both men had a chance to still come back in the AB after. I am absolutely not disputing that it was a bad call, it was a terrible call. It's just amazing how something like this happens to the Brewers, maybe Counsell makes a comment about it when asked after the game but it pretty much ends at that and the game is still about the game. But when it happens to the precious Cubbies, heavens no. They were screwed, the umpires cost them this one, it maybe led to Happ striking out too (yes they said this), and the actual rest of the game gets nary a mention.
-
I mean all I said was I wonder. It's just personal speculation. That's all. Hopefully it's nothing. Just was surprised that Ray was the guy today.
-
Getting through the Houser/Anderson/Peralta part of the rotation at 2-1 is all you can ask for. And now we have the aces coming up.
-
I was going to say that I will violently vomit into the nearest toilet if Wilson walks it off, but I didn't want to jinx it. Striking him out would have been better, but I'll take it either way. Nice win! Outscored by 12 in the series and we're still tied ha. They all count the same.
-
Is that called strike 1 to Marsnick as bad as it looks on GameDay?
-
STOP walking guys.
-
Have to think Hader will see Baez in the 9th.
-
Solo HRs are ok. Let's hope we get lights out Hader today and it doesn't matter.
-
Agreed, unfortunately we're walking dead as it is. If you had told me on Opening Day that Billy McKinney would have been getting numerous starts and Corey Ray would be getting meaningful ABs in by the last week of April I would have been fairly alarmed.
-
That's more like the Corey Ray I'm expecting.
-
JBJ can have a day off tomorrow. Good grief. I wish we had won the Justin Turner sweepstakes instead.
-
I love Chafin. He looks badass and he loves giving up runs to the Brewers. What else could you want?
-
I don't think Corey Ray is going to be any good, but his first two MLB at-bats were not terrible. Frustrating to only have 2 runs to show for everything today.
-
I don't think Counsell is against the idea of using your backup catcher. He's done it plenty of times.
-
Gallardo should be included too. Consistent and reliable for 7 or 8 seasons.. Not the highs of either, but really good. Clutch performance in Game 5. Gallardo was the man! Loved watching him pitch from 2009-2012. He had his walk issues, but he was as dominant as anybody when he was on. His curve was filthy when he had it going. He was wicked with the bat, too. Between him and CC they could really swing it.

Suter got away with a fat one.
