The largest comeback in MLB history is a 12 run deficit. So we got a chance to make some history here.
-
At some point, you're not tuned in to watch a baseball game anymore, you just want to see how bad the wreckage is.
-
The baseball Gods did not seem to appreciate that Hiura demotion.
-
That's honestly probably exactly what I would do with him this year.
-
I give up on Taylor Williams. He's a disaster. We get way too high on our young relievers.
-
Hiura is probably an upgrade from Williams just on the mound.
-
No worries! Schedule softens up today!
-
This bullpen has really been hurt by the lack of progression from either of Taylor Williams or Jacob Barnes. Especially with Knebel out for the year.
-
Got an extra Ball to work with and Williams still managed to walk Anderson.
-
I did, and that was why I went to Gameday to confirm my thoughts that it was a bad call. But agreed, they're losing because they're playing very poorly tonight.

So is the umpire. He's been quietly terrible. Lopez getting a lot of borderline calls that Chase just isn't getting. I don't know about the rest of the game, but those pitches to Cain were strikes. Pitch 2 was mostly definitely not a strike. [attachment=0]Screenshot_20190604-193811_Chrome-min.jpg[/attachment]

Getting knocked around by the Marlins at home just when we get excited about our schedule softening up would be a completely Brewer thing to do.

Taylor and Stokes are just organizational filler types IMO. Wouldn't expect either to be more than a 4th OFer if they ever make it. Ray is trending that way if he doesn't start improving. Lutz...the tools are there, but it would be nice to start seeing a little more. Of course, it can happen suddenly as we are (hopefully) seeing with Grisham.

I lean more toward disagree with this move. I get it, and I wasn't looking to give up on Shaw, but this team has proven to be plenty creative in the past when it comes to keeping as many good players rostered as possible. They could have found a way around this if they wanted to. In no way is Hiura not one of our 8 best hitters. This is 80% about service time manipulation to avoid Super 2. I get that they can't come out and say that, but that's what this is. That being said....Hiura has been good, not great. He made the decision difficult, but not impossible. If he's sitting here OPSing 1.100, they probably avoid this move and say screw the Super 2. Not fair, but that's just the position he was in. He had to hit at an elite level immediately to stay, not just very good. Shaw needs to start hitting. Or Aguilar. Preferably, both.

Thames now has a higher OPS than EE. Note that I'm not saying Thames is better than EE. I'm saying EE is a marginal upgrade not worth blowing all remaining financial flexibility on.
-
Dominic Smith as 1B of the future?
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Thames must have the quietest. 850 OPS you'll ever see. We definitely don't win today without his offense. -
I wasn't being negative about it. I just said it was gutsy. I didn't say it was idiotic or stupid. Really I didn't feel strongly about it either way, I just thought it was very interesting. Now to be sure, I should have said the HR/IP leader, not the HR leader. What I said was technically inaccurate. But it was just intended to reflect the risk given Burnes' HR struggles this year and spoke to the faith Counsell still has in him in that kind of situation. It wasn't intended to be a "stupid move' statement.
-
Man that's got to feel great for Burnes.
-
Putting in the dude who has given up the most HR in baseball in a situation where a HR wins the game is, uh, gutsy.
-
Is this Pina's first MLB game? Good grief man.
-
Don't think this is the way I'd go. Hope it works out!
-
We lost to the dodgers because we couldn’t hit their pitchers. Period. Our pitching, especially our pen almost won the series despite our lack of offense. Again, im confident Stearns will add a quality disciplined bat, hopefully that will make a difference in the playoffs. We already did. They were called Yasmani Grandal and Keston Hiura.
-
At 91 pitches entering the 8th he's not going to see the 9th. If he can finish 8, I'll be thrilled.

Fans of every team in baseball believe their team sucks at manufacturing runs. We missed the World Series by 1 game last year and this lineup is better than last year. The offense has beaten Syndergaard, DeGrom, Scherzer and Strasburg this year. They have held up just fine against "world class pitching." We lost a really competitive series to an elite team. Maybe this year it will go the other way. There is no prime of Ty Cobb sitting around that is going to come in and be the difference.
