After adding Civale, we just signed Austin Gomber and Joe Ross. Really trying to stuff the taxi squad with barely passable pitchers. Gomber was the lead in the package from the Cardinals to Rockies for Arenado. That was such an awful trade at the time and looks a million times worse since given that a) they then gave a bunch of money to KB and b) none of those players amounted to anything and are now all out of Colorado's organization
-
Happ and Tucker getting hot now is perfect. Rest of the lineup follow suit.
-
Ben Cowles DFAd for Santana. Kind of a bummer but the bench has been a nightmare all year and they never bothered giving him a shot, so...
-
Well someone needs to be removed from the 40 man
-
So maybe this does mean turner gets the boot
-
We might be taking a look at Carlos Santana? He and Turner really give our bench an "old and no longer good" look.
-
Idk how Horton's FB/GB ratio is but I am a little worried about him going into Coors. And on the flip side, if a trip to Coors can't boost the offense then what are we doing here?
-
I would very much be in favor of getting Kelly but I don't know where we stand in terms of claiming order. And you can see Texas still holding onto hope for a bit longer.
-
Love wasting Cam Smith. Season is ending dreadfully. This team is not winning a playoff series. Tucker is walking. Back to square one. At least Jed is locked in and PTR has his money and his boy in the WH.
-
I think we're through the pain and have reached the "no I'm actually laughing" segment of the season.
-
They signed Erik Fedde. It's over.

Minor League Musings

I feel like no one is talking about how Wiggins hasn't allowed a hit since June. (2 starts) -
They can't recognize a fascist, of course they can't recognize an off-speed pitch.
-
I think that's already happened. He'll still get a massive deal but this extended slump is certainly giving teams a reason to push back in negotiations.
-
Oh, no.
-
As if the Cubs weren't making it hard enough to be a fan as is, they take photos with a real loser.

I love seeing Mule and Erian get promoted. See how they fare against better competition. I wasn't sure they'd get a bump up. And yay Wiggins. I get the innings limit but they've really slow rolled it. I assume he's been throwing a bunch in the meantime. -
Bring up Caissie. The offense needs some kind of spark and PCA and Tucker could really use a day off.
-
I am glad to see Amaya back in the lineup, but does it strike anyone else that Amaya (as far as we know) has never caught Horton before? Cade is on a heater and they're changing up his catcher. Idk how much stock to bother putting into that.
-
It's a weird spot for both of them. McGuire isn't gonna play but Berti also never plays. I guess they value McGuire's bat to pinch hit vs. Berti's pinch running? I really could see them just dumping McGuire soon and calling up one of the Iowa kids.
-
The Brewers just signed Julian Merryweather. 0.00 ERA rest of the season incoming.
-
Skenes tossed 6 scoreless.....and was relieved by Cam Sanders. That is how I learned he was in a different organization AND had made his MLB debut. Good for him.
-
Just have him do some towel drills and he will be fine.
-
Maybe now the Brewers can lose a few 1 run games.
