Pollock straight up got aced. Not a bad AB though. He saw a lot of pitches.

Torkelson's hat looks way too small for him

Are we really surprised that TLR put 2 slapdick vets over 2 young power hitters? Just be glad that Leury or Harrison aren't hitting leadoff.

lol you and I both know he would have blown that game.

Beer walks off the Padres. I can see why Preller needed to trade for bullpen help. Suarez and Stammen got nobody out in the 9th.

McHugh also gave up a 3 run bomb that basically lost the Braves the game today. Here's to hoping Rick Hahn knew more than Soxtalk about relievers.

The Brewers just look like they can't hit. Nobody in that lineup really scares you.

It's pretty cold in KC, but Greinke was throwing 90-91 and that's probably as hard as he'll throw these days.

Aren't they first in the waiver order?

The Brewers pitching is not looking very good.

Hendricks is getting a lot of calls off the corner thus far. Narvaez's framing numbers are better but he still looks awkward when he yanks pitches back too aggressively.

As I say that, Burnes strikes out the side. The pitch communication device the Brewers are using is pretty cool.

Burnes not looking very good so far.

I would have hit Vaughn 6th, especially with a lefty on the mound. Eloy ain't getting shit to hit tomorrow with Leury right behind him.

Madrigal would have tried to field the ball, fumble it, and then manage to lose the grip on the ball as he's throwing it.

Oh I agree. He's perfect if you need somebody in the 5th or 6th inning. I just hope we'll never push him to pitch the 8th like he did a few times last year.

Yeah, this won't help the part of the fanbase who thinks that Moncada sucks.

I think it's cause Ruiz seems to never pitch well when it actually matters. He did look decent once or twice in a high leverage situation, but he usually got smacked when he had to hold a small lead late. The numbers back this up too. Low leverage: 53.1 IP, 3.25 FIP Med leverage: 9.2 IP, 7 FIP High leverage: 2 IP, 9.2 FIP

Having 2019 Moncada back would be great, but if you get post-injury 2021 Robert and 2020 Eloy back full-time, I don't think it's necessary. All I need Yoan to do is at least hit like he did last year. If he's not gonna hit for power, at least get on base so the other guys in the lineup get a chance to drive him in.

Wooo, Leury isn't leading off! Guessing tomorrow's lineup will be 1. Pollock RF 2. Robert CF 3. Abreu 1B 4. Grandal C 5. Jimenez LF 6. Vaughn DH 7. Leury SS 8. Harrison 2B 9. Burger 3B

At this point, you just want to choose where Adolfo goes.

Burger will get his shot. Yoan didn't look right all spring. Maybe the oblique was part of the problem.

Why wouldn't they call up Burger to play 3B?

Both Seby and Adolfo will have to go through waivers if they're DFA'd. I think the FO are definitely trying to work out a trade for both. You'd rather choose where Adolfo goes to than have him possibly get picked up by someone in the division.
