Pretty bizarre. Seems they weren’t aware he had just passed five years of service time. They brought back Hiura, also DFA’ed Pedro Severino. Perdomo in their pen was garbage…but an innings eating workhorse. Nothing close to Lamet in 2020. Also, Matt Bush is going to be better moving forward at his advanced age? Brewers’ fans joking they don’t have to worry about Steven Cohen poaching Stearns for the Mets he botched the deadline up so badly.

Lamet was awesome two years ago and then injuries completely derailed him. Maybe it was simply tactical for Milwaukee to cut on SD depth, but odds are very high the Braves and Padres will meet…and Brewers/Cards vs. Phillies on the other side of the bracket. Need to investigate further. Hader at $11 million, likely $15 million in arb next year. Dinelson Lamet signed a 1 year / $4,775,000 contract with the San Diego Padres, including $4,775,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $4,775,000. “Dinelson has a good arm and was included in the trade to help balance out the deal,” Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said. “As subsequent transactions played out, the roster fit became a little tougher. We are hopeful we will be able to keep him in our system.” Lamet finished fourth in Cy Young Award voting in 2020 but has battled injuries and shaky performance since, pitching to a 5.46 earned run average over 59 ⅓ innings over the last two seasons. By designating Lamet, 30, for assignment, any other team can claim him and add him to their 40-man roster. If he clears waivers, he may be outrighted by the Brewers to a minor-league roster or released. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sports

Ragans/Ragams (first start), Otto, Dunning, Howard Have to take 3/4. Minnesota gets Toronto for four and Dodgers for 2. Hopefully 2-4 or 1-5. 2-4 sounds more realistic.

Listened to Antonetti interview today. Talked extensively about guys like Gimenez and McKenzie who struggled mightily, went to the minors last year, and worked super hard on improving and learning from failure. Same thing with Naylor returning from catastrophic injury, Kwan taking huge strides and Miller becoming a regular after huge struggles in 2021 as well. Maximizing their talents…following an individualized improvement plan designed specifically for each player by the front office. Rosario yet another. Reyes basically the only player to go backwards, and he’s a veteran who simply can’t catch up to fastballs and has been in-between all year long. Noteworthy they taught team important lesson by going with rookie Oscar Gonzalez instead…sent Reyes to AAA. Accountability and also letting players know the guy who’s getting the job done will get the playing time regardless of previous major league track record.

Hosmer ended up being about 1/2 subsidized, two Tier B/C prospects going along with him and Buddy Groome swapped to SD where he’s now #11.

Josh Harrison needs a cool new nickname, Hawk. Although Big Energy isn’t bad. Plus that’s either Andre Dawson or Hershey Hawkins. Or Connie Hawkins.

Tell us again, Hawkeroo…

Michael Fulmer in against former team. Didn't have to travel more than 100 yards to opposite clubhouse.

Easily if the play isn't noticed by ump or appealed by opponent.

What are you doing Wegner? Late scratch like Sheets. This should be a short 20-30 minute delay. Winds are playing havoc with tarp unrolling.

Massey with huge cheering section today. Reminiscing about $7 cheap seats in 2005 season lol.

Looks like really rough weather, including hail, coming. Then could be another delay later.

Nobody would gave predicted Twins and Guardians would be in for battles today either. Well, CLE just went up 4-0. Minny 2-1 into 6th.

Not if it's not reviewed or move on to the next baseball play.

Lynn hitting his spots. Singer not so much. 4 k's through 2.

Interesting twist. Hosmer first trip to KC with Red Sox this weekend since he left as a FA to SD.

Moncada finally up near a 600 ops. 206.

But normal amount during hot stretch closer to 12-15 changes...

Barely beat him to bag.

Big difference is Singer has much more confidence in his third pitch...change up. Great response by Sox offense right off the bat.

Big difference in who decides to start versus continue a game...umpires and home team grounds crew.

Where was he going with his lack of speed? Sharply hit grounder right to LFer.

Vaughn up to 298 and Jimenez 9 game hitting streak.

Great, our bullpen will surely win it after an extended delay...this season sheesh.
