They already are. They also have reached 4 times and have 4 RBI and 3 extra basehits between them.
-
I know it's really unpopular and would probably be lame for MLB, but the runner on second in extras thing is actually really fun in the minors. Or they could just have *gasp* ties after 12 or so innings, with the obvious exception of the postseason.

Soon as Yelich started feeling the wall I figured that was all she wrote.
-
I thought so too, and was pretty annoyed that the broadcast didn't even show it.
-
Nothing but offense the entire game, and then they disappear like a fart in the wind the second we finally get some cleanly pitched innings. Maddening.
-
Please go get a shortstop in the offseason that isn't an automatic out.

Good work JJ.

What exactly do you expect him to do differently? You have to keep it tied to even have a chance for the save, he's trying to keep it tied with Jeffress. Bottom of the order...I'd chance it with Junior here and bring in Jeffress for the save. Honestly at this point, I hope he closes it with Chase. You had Robles, Kendrick and Turner coming up. That is not a typical "bottom of the order," that is a very tough row. If you don't trust Guerra for a save you shouldn't trust him to keep it tied against that upcoming order.

He also has an 8.33 career ERA, walks over a batter an inning and 6 per every 9 at the minor league level. So he can be solved, if you don't do him favors.

Sheesh Mooae. Almost hit the plate.

Or invent a time machine and draft him instead of Kodi Medeiros.

Morgan Freeman narration: "He had not."

Gio is the same as last year. Davies has been better. Peralta may have found something in the bullpen. Before his last 5 IP Hader was the exact same guy. How is Houser worse now than last year? Chacin was always a regression candidate coming off a career high workload, Jeffress was also an obvious regression candidate coming off an unsustainably low ERA & many thinking he looked cooked in the postseason then surprise he dealt with injury in Spring Training. Hard for me to blame Hook for either of them. You know who else was a regression candidate this year? Wade Miley. But he hasn't. I mean, if you want to excuse the guys who were clear regression candidates, that's fine, but it works both ways. Davies and Anderson were clear candidates for positive regression. Anderson and Woodruff are actually almost identically similar to their last year's numbers, Woodruff obviously in a different role. My biggest concern is the total lack of progress in the careers of Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta. I could have anticipated some growing pains for both, but I could have never anticipated 2019 just being a complete nightmare for Burnes. Houser has been steady, and I have no issues giving him credit for that, but other than that, I don't see much for him to hang his hat on.

Been hearing that every offseason since '16-'17. He probably just is who he is.
-
and yet criticizing Braun for his minor issue. Goodness gracious. It's totally fine if you forgive him, but let's not rewrite history. Testing positive for synthetic testosterone, having a suppller/client relationship with Tony Bosch, and being suspended for 65 games by MLB is not a "minor issue". He wasn't caught with pine tar on his bat.
-
No, you are right about the waiver order, but I think his point was (and I agree), that Galvis could have been acquired at the deadline prior to him being waived for next to nothing. The kicker on it is that Galvis has a very modest 5.5M option for 2020 which would have given us a very adequate stopgap if we chose to move on from Arcia.

You just knew when Guerra walked Turner to lead off the 8th, that was going to be all she wrote. Walks. It's always walks. Yet, when given the same opportunity in the 9th, we, predictably, can't capitalize. Yelich sees Hiura walk on 4 pitches, and immediately goes up hacking at Doolittle. But the 9th isn't even when this was lost. It was in the 3rd, when the pitcher doubles, Cain gets on, and we've got our two best hitters coming up with nobody out and runners on 1st and 3rd. And they do what we've seen so often in big scoring opportunities -- absolutely nothing. As much as I love Yelich, if this is what we could have reasonably expected coming back from injury, he should have done a 10 day IL stint, because he has been terrible since his return. I know it's sacreligious to criticize Yelich, but I'm not going to mince words. He. Has. Been. Terrible. This kind of stuff is something that you see once in awhile and you chalk it up to baseball. Yet it continues to happen to us, over, and over, and over again. Can't happen. This team continues to choke away opportunities, and therefore wins, time after time. They've stranded small villages lately, and yet it just continues to happen. This team is running out of "Oops, guess it's just baseball, we'll get back at it tomorrow" mulligans. They're going to have a lot to think about when they're sitting at home in October.

When you're talking about a difference making talent this is, for better or worse, entirely true. When you're wading through the waters of marginal 32 year olds who haven't been good in several years, things like a clear drinking problem and allegations of date rape tend to usually be disqualifying factors. DUI's don't necessarily mean he has a drinking problem, moreso poor decision making while drinking. It was one thing when fans didn't want the Ray Rice's of the world playing for their team, but this level of self-righteousness is pretty bad when you're too good to cheer for a guy with 3 DUI's. I made sure to bold out the fact that the date rape thing was allegations only. I don't think he was even charged. Sooooooo, that's completely irrelevant. You don't seem to have a lot of exposure to alcoholism in your life if you don't think that 3 DUIs isn't at least a sign of a pretty serious problem. I've known numerous people with multiple DUIs and each one had a chronic problem with alcohol. Each one required pretty intense rehab, two are fortunately recovering and the other is now dead . I could understand one isolated incident for an individual, people in control of their drinking don't end up with 3 DUIs, that simply does not happen. #2, no one said I was "too good" to cheer for a guy with 3 DUI's, that was your words. #3, if allegations are irrelevant, Addison Russell should never have been suspended, yes? Allegations certainly come into play when considering signings. Standing by your own existing players is different than bringing new ones in.

Trade Deadline Rant- How are we better?
adambr2 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It isn't just 40 ABs for me. It's the switch he turned in the minors this year in several hundred ABs where he finally looked like the player we always hoped he'd become, and if anything it has made these 40 ABs rather unsurprising. I don't expect everyone to be convinced yet, I just personally am pretty sold that this is not just a hot streak, this is real. -
Last season, Cain was one of the more valuable players in the league. Fast forward to a season later, and the remaining 3 years and 50ish million on his contract looks pretty daunting. The good news is, his defense is still elite to the tune of being a 1.8 WAR player so far despite the poor season by his standards. My question is, should we be shopping Cain in the offseason? With Grisham appearing to emerge, it would eliminate any issue trying to find him playing time next season. It would also open up salary to pursue other needs in the offseason. Cain still has enough value and is coming off a strong enough 2018 where a team out there might like to take a shot for 3/50. Realistically, should we pursue this, how much salary should we realistically expect to have to eat, and what, if anything could we expect in return?

100%. I'm sold on this guy being a fixture at the top of our lineup for the next 6+ years. -
Does this make Trent Grisham a YouTube star?

Geez Louise this team.
