All you silly July 1st scoreboard watchers can breathe easy now. Pirates back up 12-4.
-
What a joke of a bailout 2-0 strike call on Grandal. He can't throw a strike and the bases are loaded, so sure, why not just give him one Fortunately didn't matter.
-
Ugh not what we needed there Braun. Please get it done Saladino.
-
He has a 7.5M team option for next year and I really have no reason at this point to think it won't be exercised. So probably a Brewer next year, then who knows.
-
It's great to be excited about guys but I think we sometimes fall in love with certain guys and really jump the gun on them. I like Houser. But we are a long ways from knowing what he is yet, much less proclaiming he solves a rotation spot. He has like 50 MLB innings.
-
Well this outing from Houser went from great to blah in about 5 minutes.
-
I wonder if some historian can confirm that that was the longest 3 pitch half inning in MLB history.

Stats show a pitcher 8th actually scores more runs. However, I'm sure it depends who your 9 hitter is and your 2 hitter. With having a slugger like Yelich as your 2 hitter it actually makes a lot of sense and theoretically should increase his RBI opportunities. Your 2 hitter comes up just as much but gets the RBI chances of a 3 hitter. Dubon would probably be a great fit as the 9 if he was up. Arcia fits there well. The only time I really disagreed with it is when Ned Yost tried it and clearly had no real fundamental understanding of the point of it. He would bat the pitcher 8th and then still bat Tony Gwynn Jr. 2nd which totally defeated the purpose of the move.
-
Again, there's nothing wrong with the strategy. History and analytics have shown this. Counsell isn't just trying to be cute.

Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs passes away

Just awful. Obviously it doesn't really make it any less tragic, and I don't even want to speculate, but to lose a guy so young, seemingly healthy, you wonder, what the heck happened? -
That's a very solid pickup for the minimum.

The Brewers have said they don't expect to keep Perez and I don't really see any reason to doubt that. My personal hunch is that he ends up with a borderline contender with a weak bench for some low level prospect or organizational filler type, we send them some cash and save the rest of Perez' salary. As a business decision, in a vacuum, I don't have a big problem with the Perez DFA. He's obviously a marginal player and if you can upgrade his spot or increase the flexibility of his spot with an optionable player, that's a good thing. I just don't see a compelling reason that Saladino should be the replacement over Dubon and Saladino certainly hasn't done anything since his callup to change my mind.

Khris Middleton in his own words: "Giannis and I want to win a championship together some day. We've both already gotten back in the gym this summer and are determined to make next season special. This team is on a mission to win it all for our city." Speculating again but I'm guessing it was really important for Giannis that the Bucks commit to Middleton. If they had let Middleton walk and that pushes Giannis out after 2020, it doesn't really matter what their other moves are today. Important aspect to keep in mind when evaluating Middleton's deal. It isn't just "is he worth 36M a year" in a vacuum. He's not, but if Giannis isn't here, it doesn't matter what we're paying Khris.

Really? You thought Brogdon was gone? I thought he was a given or a near given to return since he was restricted and a lot cheaper than Middleton. This is speculative on my part, but I just don't think Brogdon was crazy about Milwaukee, and I think basketball is more of a way for him to pursue other future ambitions than something he's really passionate about. Bledsoe and Lopez for example always seemed like they really wanted to stay here and be a part of this. I just never got that impression from Malcolm.
-
I really, really wanted Brogdon back, but let's remember they completely outclassed an extremely talented Celtics' team without him. Also, I completely agree that Middleton is overpaid, but there's a bigger picture here -- this is Giannis' team. And if Middleton is an essential cog in keeping Giannis happy and signing a supermax here, then he's worth every penny.
-
Hill is back. 3 years, $29M. Can we all get along now?
-
So Hader, or Burnes in the 9th?
-
6 out of our 7 runs this series have come with Eric Thames at the plate. The other came with Zach Davies at the plate.
-
Double switch. And they still have Saladino available, whatever that's worth.
-
Jeffress is going to have nightmares at this point.
-
Pitch 2 to Newman was a clear strike called a ball and pitch 3 was a clear ball called a strike. They may as well throw darts.
-
Can we have one single game where the pitching and hitting both decide to actually show up on the same exact day?
-
If the wall began at the beginning of the warning track, we'd have about 50 HR this last week.
-
Uh, not complaining but he looked safe to me. Arms came around the tag to the base then he was tagged in the chest.
