Bats need to take out all aggression on tonight Brewers pitchers... No Mercy
-
Or maybe it was just a simple response to someone mentioning about a 40 spot opening up and nothing more 🤷♂️
-
Yep, something could be coming tonight or tomorrow
-
In past years we seen teams getting out in front of the deadline mostly so they can get the couple extra starts from the SP in July, but recently we dont see that much anymore because of all the teams still sorta alive for a WC spot. Plus, teams that were sellers in the past were more aggressive to sell much earlier then they are now because of fear of not getting a better return if they waited because buyers wanted guys earlier, nowadays it just the complete opposite. Also something to consider with Hoyer, maybe because of not having that extension he might have been hesitant or told not to trade away certain prospects, there has to be a reason for the timing of this extension to have been done now.
-
Maybe he just didn't want to overpay with guys like Caissie and Wiggins to get guys a couple weeks ago and figured they were in good enough position to wait it out, and who knows, maybe the guys he is prioritizing just weren't made available yet by their team who may have wanted to wait to see if they can make a run and or get better offers closer to the deadline. I get frustrated too at the waiting for him to do something and sending out the same players to basically fail at what they're supposed to do, I just hope now that we're 2 days away, he got is extension, that he is allowed to add to payroll and can bring in a couple players that will make an instant impact for this team going forward and we'll all be very happy 😊

The next rotation slot that needs to be filled by new SP will be Saturday for Brown and Monday for Rea, so depending on their last start, today or tomorrow (Wednesday) would be a good day to get at least one starter to be here and ready to pitch Saturday. Thursday is more then enough time for Monday's start, I just think if Hoyer needs to wait til Thursday to get his SP, theyre not going to be ready to go with just a day(Friday) for physical and get himself situated, travel, and then prepared for a start on Saturday. So, I think we may see a deal done likely by tomorrow for a SP.

Be kind of dumb for TR to give him an extension now and then tell him not to do anything worthwhile to improve the team. Might as well just not extend him, then just let this roster play out and hire a new front office to do whatever in the offseason.
-
That was quick 😳
-
Fake 2 out rally or will PCA get a chance to jack one and tie it up ? Up to you Zuki
-
Find a way to win one tomorrow Who the leaders on this team, maybe it time for a little clubhouse rally after this game or before tomorrow game.
-
Exactly, sometimes a manager has to push a starter or a reliever to go a little longer to avoid using more of his bullpen later. Cant tax them all in one game, then they'll be stuck tomorrow with pushing a starter to go longer in a close game.
-
Get to work Jed this team needs a spark to rally around
-
Cool, get blown out in first game of this series and look pathetic doing it. Need to get one of next two
-
When was last time Tucker had a big HR
-
They need to release him after the deadline, theres no need for him on a contending team.
-
Pressly, he still sucks I hope he gone after the deadline
-
Fuks.. We knew it was coming with everything going on about him this week
-
Yea, it sucks cause in most cases this season getting him 3 runs is enough but for him to be able to grind out 5 so far and save the pen for tomorrow is big.
-
Good time for a PCA dong here
-
Tucker Happ Zuki, gonna need these guys to start producing
-
Imanaga is Imanaga, youll get alot of really good starts from him and a blowup here and there. Boyd in his 11th season is having a career year and obviously is questionable on how much longer he can continue, hopefully it the whole year. Rea has had some good starts but not someone you wanna hang your hat on as a starter. Taillon career has been good in even years and bad in odd ones, so it not surprise this season hasn't been great with him. Then there's the young guys So yea, theyre not a good staff on paper, they have had lots of good starts and held their own to help get the team where theyre at but without adding someone who can be that game changer in the rotation, not sure how deep this rotation of guys can get them in the postseason.
-
Bats gotta respond with something here, get this kid out of the game and get momentum back.
-
Rea and Imanaga get blown up in their last start, Boyd about to do the same. Yes they really need some pitching reinforcement this week, let go Jed.
