  1. Shaw is still not good. I just watched you take a bunch of pitches in the 9th with the tying run in scoring position the other night and now you have an AB like that? Did you not just see him hit the last guy and walk the two before that? Come on, dude.
  2. I want to see Contreras have a big post-game rant about Taylor not trying to get out of the way.
  3. Now if Bradley could do anything productive whatsoever, that would have been a run instead of a likely wasted leadoff double.
  4. I don't think they need to rent bats other than maybe 3rd. They need to get healthy and they need Hiura to get better. First base, shortstop, and possibly even another outfielder that can hit. I would love to see Hiura hit but I think he needs a new hitting coach and some time in the minors at the very least. It would be foolish to count on him this season. They aren't going to find cheap replacements that are better at those positions than what they have. They have Yelich, Cain, Bradley, Avi, and even Taylor and McKinney in the OF. Like I said, they need to get healthy. They definitely don't need an outfielder. And you've got to let Urias have some time at SS.
  5. As much as I’d like to see the Brewers in the mix for a big fish like Trevor Story, I think a solid mid-rotation starter could make a huge impact. Peralta is great when he’s on, but he’s likely going to remain a wild card from start-to-start. I know nearly every team in baseball wants more pitching, but I’d feel a lot better with one more reliable arm in the rotation. Agreed. I think just an inning eating reliable 3-4 type at the deadline could be a pretty significant impact for us. Especially as the pitching staff starts wearing down.
  6. I don't think they need to rent bats other than maybe 3rd. They need to get healthy and they need Hiura to get better.
  7. I believe the Cubs will hit. It's their rotation of soft tossers that I don't really believe in.
  8. There's a lot to like about Freddy. But the drop-off between him and the top two guys in this rotation is large.
  9. At some point, we need Hiura to hit. We need Cain back. And most of all, we need Yelich in this lineup. So glad to see Narvaez rebounding and stories like McKinney are great but over the long haul the 8 guys in there today aren't going to score enough runs.
  10. I wonder if Ray being called up is also bad news for Lorenzo Cain's injury prognosis which we hear basically nothing about for some reason.
  11. Maybe Lucas Erceg is next. He should be able to eat up Lindbloms innings.
  12. I doubt you're getting 5 out of Freddy. He's good, but maddeningly inefficient.
  13. His fastball was his big thing as a high school prospect. Scouts thought of him as a future mid to upper 90s fireballer.
  14. Less than they gave up? Look at Realmuto, not an MVP but plays a premium defensive position and had two years of control remaining when dealt. He brought back an average major league catcher (Alfaro) a nice pitching prospect (Sanchez) and a low level pitching prospect. Teams giving up huge prospect hauls for veterans are becoming increasingly rare That's because MVP level players in their prime generally don't become available. You're telling me that when Yelich has two MVP level seasons AFTER acquiring him, he would have been worth LESS? I'm sorry, no way. In a hypothetical world where we made him available after '19, a prospect loaded team like the Padres is not going to offer up a better headliner than what Lewis Brinson was? Realmuto is not and was not post-19 Yelich. And Yelich had 3 remaining years of low cost control which is not insignificant.
  15. Fully expect Burnes to have one of the best pitching seasons ever and finish 2nd in Cy Young voting to DeGrom when he also has one of the best pitching seasons ever.
  16. I wonder how much this guy could have brought in trade in the fall of '19.
  17. Good grief. A day-to-day sore back one day is now going to become this big thing, isn't it?
  18. I always like Bickford when we first acquired him and immediately became one of our top pitching prospects. Obviously, much has changed since then and Bickford has become a bit of a forgotten man. Here's hoping he can change that and rebound from the debut he had last year.
  19. Well, the good thing is losing a game by 13 counts the same as losing by 1. Here's hoping to winning the next two games 2-1 and driving Cub fans nuts again.
