I was going to post that, but Ball 3 was definitely a strike so I held back. Still a nice AB. Maybe he can poke one through the shift next AB and I'll definitely break out the hashtags.
-
I think this is somewhat expected, he isn't healthy yet. There is just no logistical reason to keep him on the IL.
-
Well, still a 1 run game. Here's hoping for a good offensive showing tonight.
-
Gift call. That was Ball 4.
-
Absolute worst time of the year to get bad Zach Davies. This sucks.
-
Yes, and he's one of your favorites and you're much harder on someone like Cain. We all have our favorites. Just because I do not post #RyanBraunForever every time he gets a extra basehit doesn't mean I don't cheer for him to do well. But given his stature and veteran status and experience yes, I do have higher expectations for him in September. Cain too. I don't expect 22 year old Trent Grisham to put the team on his back in a pennant race. I can promise, I will be a happy man if Braun goes yard and knocks in 3 tonight and I have to eat crow.

If there is a stat kept for runs allowed that originated from walks, we have to be near the top of the league.
-
Last 28 Days: .298/.364/.491/.855 He will be fine. Battled through a back injury. I know you pounce on him anytime he’s in a rough stretch but he was scalding hot since the break and wasn’t going to keep that pace. Just calling it like I see it. Yes he had a fantastic August, not so much since Hiura and Moose left the lineup. We're not going to finish this run if all that Yelich offense isn't made up somewhere. If he's hurt and the back injury is affecting him perhaps he should get some rest for Gamel against RHP until fully healthy.
-
Hard to pick you out in a loaded crowd.
-
Braun's gotta start stepping up with Yelich done for the year. .471 OPS this month. We need you now, man.
-
Because there is literally no disadvantage to activating him now that he is eligible to be activated. There are no roster limitations. Even if he isn't truly healthy, now if you absolutely need him to pinch hit in a key late game situation and he is physically able to do so, you have that option. He may not be truly ready for much more than that right now.

We'll probably never know whether Smith was ever on the table for Dubon, but given the choice of a partial season of Smith or a partial season of Pomeranz, and 6 years of Black, I think I'd choose the latter. Given his age and lack of track record, I'm still not sure we get 1 more year of Black, let alone 6. I don't know what to make of Black so far. He's gotten the job done for the most part, but there hasn't been much substance to it. It's been a lot more pitching to contact than I would have expected. But if he can keep the walks low that is a good sign.
-
As someone who genuinely does try to see both sides I will point this out: Will Smith, 2nd half: 4.56 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, .849 OPS against Pomeranz since acquired: 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP As someone who felt that they should have at least gotten Will Smith for Dubon I should concede that it is entirely possible that Smith for Dubon was on the table and David's due diligence on Smith from his analytics department and Smith's 2nd half history (he's a notorious 1st half player who is now injured) led him to prefer the Pomeranz/Black deal. With all that said, I'll reiterate that Dubon is seeing significant playing time for the Giants, is playing very well and would be seeing significant time for us as well right now if he was still here.

Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If he hasn't done that by now, it probably isn't going to happen in the next 2 weeks. Shaw is toast, at least for 2019. -
Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah in my opinion the speculation that Yelich will never be the same again is pretty irresponsible. Please don't be swayed by what happened with Jimmy Nelson. It's not the same at all. -
Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Do you not consider the Wild Card the postseason? Because if the scores hold up tonight, they are 1 game out of that. Hardly a miracle with 19 to play. I'm guessing miracle more from the injury overcoming standpoint rather than the standings. I mean if you're the Cubs you've definitely got to think this is huge for them. Maybe it will help us play looser? I don't know, I'm kind of reaching, but at this point I don't think the expectations are really there from most. Just go out and do what you can for 19 games and see what happens. But yeah the small remaining sample size makes it possible to be overcome, we didn't lose Yelich for an entire season. It's a streaky game and maybe Grisham OPSes 1.000 over the next 2 weeks. Who knows. But yeah it's not like the Packera losing Rodgers on opening night for 16 games. -
Nah. I mean they already still have 5 OFs on the roster (Grisham, Cain, Braun, Gamel, Taylor) not counting Perez and Spangenberg who can play OF and Thames and Austin who can fake their way through it. They still have plenty of bodies when they get Moose and Hiura back, they just need those two back every day. Let’s get another pitcher up here. Same deal really. Just need to get Woodruff healthy. Everyone who can help is already up. I guess they could bring up Supak but if he hasn't been brought up by now I'd guess he's already been shut down for the season.
-
That I can safely say is over. Barring a sweep this weekend. Which looks unlikely I’m not listening to you people anymore. You already called it a season months ago. Probably unwise to call out anyone else for bad hot takes.

Well sports journalists aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer Yeah...and what are they supposed to say I guess, but goodness, at least come back with a "What can your team and players do to rally around each other and lift each other up right now?"
-
My lineup tomorrow would be: 1) Grisham RF 2) Cain CF 3) Grandal C 4) Moustakas 3B 5) Braun LF 6) Thames 1B 7) Perez 2B 8) Spangenberg SS After Hiura and Arcia return: 1) Grisham 2) Hiura 3) Grandal 4) Braun 5) Moustakas 6) Cain 7) Thames 8) Arcia That's not terrible all things considered. Could score some runs.
-
Just watched the interview where Stearns breaks the news of the injury and the first question to him by a reporter: "Just how devastating is this, David?"
-
I dunno. We are probably done. It's just not our year. First Woodruff, then Hiura, Moose, and now Yelich? We're approaching an AAA lineup. I mean crazy things happen, it is baseball, but you're talking Hollywood level miracles at this point. It's just not very realistic. You need just about everything to go right. Bullpen turns back the clock to 2018, Braun turns back the clock to 2012, Hiura returns and him and Grisham rake the rest of the season. I mean, we'll all keep cheering, that's all we can do. It's just quite a gut punch to finally go on a nice run, already be hanging by a thread on injuries and now unbelievably have this happen on top of it. The baseball Gods can piss right off.

Well, I can think of one now.
