- Nelson service time bungling - Hiura back down? - Shaw back up? - Dubon traded for ?? - Deadline acquisitions can't even make roster over Jay Jackson and Aaron Wilkerson - Grisham promoted to not play Never has there been a year when I've been so disgusted and disappointed with our moves. We didn't upgrade, didn't sell, didnt do anything. It's like they're trolling us.

He was also OPSing 1.050 against lefties in AAA. So he's not a big split guy. Agreed, calling him up to rot on the bench is stupid. He didn't even get a plate appearance yesterday.
-
Doesn't appear that we have any interest in clawing back into this one against the Cubs' pen.
-
I can't understand how the front office expects anyone to buy into the deadline moves being anything at all when 2 of the 3 guys couldn't even make the team over a recent DFA pitcher and the other one can't even get into a game.
-
Drew Pomeranz was acquired to be our veteran clubhouse cheerleader, apparently.
-
At the time it seemed like a huge deal but looking at it now this is true. I don't know how many games having Hiura down and Shaw up cost us in June, but if it's 2, this race looks much different and maybe our deadline moves are different.
-
Well that was disappointing. Our pitching staff doesn't let a little wind stop them from giving up a couple dingers and 6 runs.
-
Holy moly is Pina slow.

Go to your pen Joe, do it.

The more I look at his body of work, I see him as an outstanding offseason GM and a poor in-season GM. Other than Schoop, I thought he did a good job last year. He was ok. Schoop was very bad. Moose was ok, nothing special. Same with Soria. The Granderson and Gio moves were fine. They just are the same moves every GM makes or made in late August and for the limited time they were here they just don't do much to move the needle. This year the trade deadline was pretty bad, the Nelson service time situation was bungled badly in early June, and around the same time, the decision to send Hiura back down despite his performance and bring Shaw back up was exactly when the season started to turn. The Lucroy deal was clearly the crown jewel of his in-season moves, but I don't really see anything beyond that during the season for him to really hang his hat on.

This team is just not that good.

Brewers doing a great job reducing any anxiety for the Cubs on a bad bullpen performance today. Quintana may go 8.

If that's a Cub hitting that, it's an easy infield single and the ball probably winds up in the stands for an error. Just one of those days.
-
Jeffress is playing himself right out of that option next year.
-
They're not going to need much of a bullpen to get through 9 today.
-
Does any pitching staff in baseball throw worse pitches in favorable 2 strike counts?
-
Minors. Black too.
-
Pump your fist about that, Castellanos.

This trade deadline was one of the worst I can remember for us in recent history IMO. I have loved Stearns' moves in the past mostly, but I think he had a terrible deadline. Normally I am anywhere between thrilled like in '16, or at least satisfied like '17 and '18. We did not get better for this year, and we did not reload for the future. It's pretty puzzling to me.
-
The guy with a 6.10 ERA as a starter pitching in a pitcher's park? Most of our pitchers are anywhere between average and crap, and the guys we traded for fall into that same category. I'd pick up Chase's option next year, trade Davies, and keep Woodruff, Chase, Faria, Hader, Burnes, Peralta, Knebel, and gut just about everything else.
-
Not a really great thing when Davies, Cain, Yelich, and Hiura come up in the inning and Davies has by far the best AB.
-
He was 751 OPS In 330 ABs a few years ago. It's just good to remind people sometimes because Jonathan Lucroy was DFAed today so there's a new thread a-coming soon.
-
Can anyone believe Manny Pina actually has a .744 OPS?
-
Ryan Braun forever?
