    If they keep getting 10+ hits/game they will start scoring 6-7 runs/game sooner rather than later. Especially in a 5-game series where they are already busy wearing out the opponent's high leverage pitching.

    Did just enough to win and nothing more. Some might call that efficient.

    He looks how I would look sitting in the stands in a day game with swamp weather

    Yep, that's why they are working on mixing in the offspeed stuff. Especially against a divisional opponent that just saw Miz barely over a month ago.

    I have to wonder whether it is intentional for some ulterior reason. One can experiment a bit when you're 23 games over .500 before the all-star break. Can't just throw 4-seam fastballs.

    I'd pass also, but just to play devil's advocate, do we have any intel on what Willson's teammates think of him? From what I can tell he is outspoken but generally considered a good teammate. There are other guys out there like Josh Naylor who are a bit psycho and drive opponents crazy but are ultimately a net benefit to the team they are on. I'd still pass though, if it ain't broke...

    Truly phenomenal. If my math is right, they were 190 games under .500 in the National League after the first 10 seasons (714-904). They are now just 167 games under .500 as a franchise (4461-4628), meaning that .500 overall is a reachable milestone within their current competitive window.

    I like hanging onto guys that we can extend a QO to. Guys like Bill don't grow on trees like fixable starting pitchers do 🤣

    I think all of the above is true to some extent. They are not as bad as they looked and could have won on a good day if the chips fell right. Belgium had a good game plan and exploited their flaws. The political stuff was absolutely a distraction and/or a motivator for Belgium. There is a talent ceiling that they were butting against. That blunder was just so bad. It robbed everyone of the chance to see them try to equalize. The storyline might be completely different if they had another 30+ minutes to try and make it 2-2, even if they ultimately lost.

    I'm glad Durbin is doing better, we need teams to continue to want to trade with us 😅

    Buyer beware for any player in their mid-30s, especially role players. You never know when they are going to fall off a cliff.

    For real. I watch about equal between the Brewers and the Mariners. The Mariners are 47-44, in first place, and are coming off of an ALCS appearance. The Brewers are 1000x more watchable. It's not even close. When I saw the Brewers are hitting like .150 with RISP over a few weeks, I was like, whatever, the Mariners batted .150 as a team in all situations back in April for like two weeks. Most of the Mariners' offense is to draw a couple walks and hope for a home run. A little over a month ago, I went to two Mariners in the span of about a week and they GOT ONE HIT BOTH TIMES! I'm not even joking. Then the third game I went to they got 4 hits and that felt like a lot. Rob Reysnyder has gotten 119 PAs for the Mariners in a favorable platoon situation. He is batting .133 with an OPS+ of 22. And he doesn't make up for it with his glove. I could go on and on. Remember, the Mariners are not bad, they are in first place with a +27 run differential and will likely win their division. Their team OPS+ is 99, basically average. Yes, they pitch well, but their pitching ability is about equal to Milwaukee and actually worse when you take away their favorable home ballpark. Brewers fans are going to be in for a rude awakening the next time we have a below-average offense. The average offense in MLB is terrible and half the teams are worse than that!

    The rest of the world is surely enjoying this

    I think that's why we're seeing the position moves happening in the first place. League average OPS is now identical at 3B and SS. As recently as 2022 there was a 33 point OPS difference going from SS to 3B.

    Maybe I’m an exception but I have trouble caring about this controversy. Breaking news, FIFA is corrupt and everything looks like a red card in super slow motion. Shocking! Go beat Belgium!!!

    Seattle just moved JP Crawford to 3B in the middle of the season. He hadn't put in any MLB time at 3B since 2018 and was last in MLB in most reliable defensive metrics at SS. He's looked fine and is passing the eye test. It's a good spot to put an older SS who has lost range but can still hit.

    I'd been to some MLS games and didn't understand the appeal but I went to a Copa America game sometime in the mid-2010s and was like "oh, I get it now". Completely different game when you're watching the top talent vs. a league that barely cracks the top 10 globally. Many of the same people will turn around and call the NFL fast-paced and exciting. Right.

    That's why I think Senzatela is a more likely target than a pure starter, just knowing how our organization thinks. If we do trade away top prospects, it's going to be someone that our trade partner values higher than we do.

    Gausman is an interesting idea. 223 IP pitched last year including postseason. Seems to be getting a bit unlucky this year, his underlying numbers look similar to his better 2025 campaign. The Jays are only 3 games out of a crowded AL wild card, so they need to lose more games in July or else I have a feeling they will let it ride.

    Vaughn would play every day on most teams. Bauers gives us the luxury of being able to deploy him in a platoon with the added bonus of knowing we are not completely giving up ABs when Vaughn faces righties.

    Detmers would be a "buy high" trade. We haven't executed a buy high trade since sometime in the 2010s.

    I turned it off after we didn’t score in the 10th and Anderson coming in. Fortunately I checked again before we rallied in the 11th. When they walked Yelich to face Chourio I audibly said “What are those morons doing?” One of those “burn the box score” type wins where we take the W and move on.
  24. owbc
    At least we didn't burn any high leverage relievers. If you're going to lose it's better to get it over with early.
  25. owbc
    Poor Pratt, that was such a great AB and could have easily been two bases.
