Willie didn’t nail anything. Even with a disfunctional roster and massive late season injuries, this team doesn’t “suck”. It just needs to get to September within a reasonable number of games from first place, and the roster will fix itself and so will the pitching. I don't think we suck, but I also don't believe for a second our pitching problems just magically fix themselves when the calendar turns over to September. Your expectations of the Devin Williams, Drew Rasmussen, and Ray Blacks of the world are way out of whack. Having good stuff doesn't just automatically translate into a lockdown reliever. Just ask Corbin Burnes.

I don't see how that's a big get. Lucroy sucks. He is about 1 win under replacement level this season. He just hasn't been good in a couple years.
-
I wondered why Braun wasn't running.

Welcome back Yelich! Risky send by Sedar.

When a team like the Rays is willing to give you one of their pitchers for a struggling, non-versatile 1B, be very suspicious. I'm sort of surprised a struggling, non-versatile 1B was worth much of anything, actually. Faria may not be much, but there are guys Aguilar's caliber out there for free. I don't disagree, but given how bad we are already against lefties, he probably had more value to us for staying in it this year than anything we'll get from Faria. We kind of exasperated something that is already a problem.

He's never played 1B. Like ever.

Faria is garbage. Should fit right into this pen.
-
Hope you put those seatbelts on, because Pina didn't move a base.
-
I'm not even that mad at the players (besides Cain). When you did nothing to upgrade at SS and you loaded your entire roster with lefties, what's going to happen? This guy is the scrub of scrub lefties, been giving up HRs left and right, and he cut right through our lineup for 6 innings like it was nothing.
-
When you're a bad hitter, and Keston Hiura and Christian Yelich are on deck with 2 outs, don't chase Ball 4. Twice.
-
There's the cherry on top with our roster management vs LHP. Having to constantly use lefties on lefties for pinch hitters because we have no righties to use.
-
But was Freitas catching? Yep - [sarcasm]there goes his September call-up.[/sarcasm] Supak's following in Zack Brown's steps in his move to AAA. Not good. I thought these kind of AAA concerns for pitching would disappear when they left Colorado, but obviously not.
-
Well, at least 3 more shots this inning with RISP. Buckle up.

Teams are going to do it the rest of the year against the Brewers. The front office made this bed, and now they are unfortunately forced to sleep in it. I totally understand that lefty power plays well in Miller Park, but this team went overboard with it, and is now paying the price. I've been beating the drum for awhile that this team is getting too lefty heavy and it is going to make it especially difficult to compete against teams like the Cubs and Dodgers and have been met with mostly skepticism. It was bad enough last year when it just came into play in the NLCS, but now it's coming into play against everyone. We desperately need an impact RHB bat in this lineup. I can't imagine where this offense would be against LHP without the emergence of Keston Hiura. It's been bad enough WITH him.
-
Nothing to see here, folks. We hit LHP just fine.

Sorry, that analogy doesn't work at all. It has to be a balance. Your "proven > prospects everytime" method isn't always the right way either. I still remember people in 2016 literally saying we couldn't trade Braun for just Cody Bellinger, because Braun was proven and Bellinger was just a prospect. Just imagine how that would have worked out now. The thing is, just because a guy is "proven" doesn't guarantee future performance, even over a prospect. Albert Pujols was "proven" at one time, as well. Guys age, things change. Sometimes, many times, the unproven prospect will outproduce the "proven" veteran in future performance. Not only that, but there are so many variables at play -- club control, positional considerations, trade value, budget constraints, etc. for any of it ever to just neatly fit in a box that proven players are the way to go and prospects are just prospects.

I would have gladly given up Grisham and Turang. Even Zack Brown if the Angels picked up half his salary. Corey Ray's trade value is still good, right? Maybe him instead of Grisham? Probably gotta throw in Drew Rasmussen then though to land that Trout.

Our amazing lead off hitter is on the bench. You have a young player/prospect fetish...you really do. My advice?? Seek the necessary help. I mean to be fair, you have the total opposite fetish for all things veterans and big name players.
-
I miss G.O.A.T Yelich. Haven't seen a ton of him the last couple weeks.
-
We're still 0 for 6 now with runners in scoring position, just saying. Fortunately, it was Cain running.
-
Terrible bunt. Perez was a dead duck. Just got bailed out by bad defense.
