He only has no trade protection to a certain list of teams, though.

Man that would have been awesome The interesting part is the in-division tax. The Brewers aren't competing with the Cubs this year and next. I think it would have actually been better for them to rob the Cubs of some of their farm system.
-
I had a feeling they might be in on him.
-
Yup. It just didn't happen for us. We had the big advantage and it just didn't work out.
-
I know Fan Graphs percentage is high and all that, but I'll still accept a Cardinals loss tonight.
-
Well, that was a weird one. Seven innings of nothing and then a crazy two innings.
-
I bet that happens a ton, actually.
-
I was actually going to say that Cisek and his delivery would be a bad match For him.

I dont care if its Kershaw 60 pitches into a perfect game.. i have zero problems starting Rondon in the 8th and flippin to Chapman in every close game we have a lead. It's a no-win situation in that if you lose it is so easy to say we should have done the other thing. That said, now that we traded a lot for Chap, maybe the set plan is you always go with Rondon and Chap in the last two innings. If they blow it, they blow it.

Why do you keep indicating the second at-bat was on the ump? He threw at least one strike in that at bat, he wouldn't have been throwing from the stretch if the previous batter had been properly rung up, even if that is a walk then 1 on 1 out is a very different situation, etc. I think that's excusing too much, though. They were trying to give us an out and he really just didn't perform, whether it was in the stretch or not, etc.

this is meatballish but i think arrieta's confidence is kind of wavering these days. i'd have loved for him to exit the game with a clean scorecard and then hand it over to the bullpen of doom. now he goes into his next start knowing when he's sharp he can still let the game get away from him a bit. I don't think that's irrational, and especially since it was the 8th I'd have been fine with Rondon starting the inning. But the 'what the heck why is Jake starting the inning?' reaction doesn't add up. He had been mowing down the lineup all day, and deserved better from the ump than BB/BB to start that inning too. Why do you keep indicating the second at-bat was on the ump?

I don't get what this means, exactly. They used them when they were trying to nail down the game.
-
$25 to the board if Riz hits a dong.
-
Arrieta threw like 4 balls combined to his last 2 hitters, umpire refused to call them. I'd have to go back and look but I don't think one pitch to the second guy was really close to being a legit bad call ball.
-
maybe jake shouldn't have walked a .208 hitter and a .232 hitter This. It's so easy to forget with all the horsefeathers that happened but Jake just did the wrong thing at a bad time to crappy hitters.
-
Miggy can't catch. Poor guy.
-
Walking two to start an inning can hurt sometimes.
-
This is crazy.
-
Surprised they didn't put Riz in on defense.
-
Perhaps his chance at a win?
-
Ouch. Complain about the umps but Jake has contributed to horsefeathering this up.
-
Don't let our Bullpen of Doom sit there watching. That's why we got them.
-
Very unnecessary, Mr. Arrieta.
-
Please be right.

This is pretty unique to perhaps have two plays like this overturned in both directions.
