That homer by Carter just drilled a kid in the chest. He whiffed on the catch and took it flush. I hope Carter goes to say something to him or something.

Jimmy stinks. Biggest disappointment of 2016 for the Brewers?

Like, keep your eye on the ball? :p

 

Jk, I hope he's okay.

Yes. In fact racking my brain for who #2 would even be.

"Pretty good shot at 3,000 hits for Beltre" - yes, Bill, he currently has 2900+ hits, that's a good shot at 3,000.

I would think the DH is the perfect time to rest Braun somewhat while also keeping his bat in the lineup.

Would have been Peralta, but he has turned things around. Jimmy maybe should have had a stint in the minors too...

I still think that Peralta's play is a disappointment. I guess it all depends where you pegged them to begin with. I was hoping for basically 3.75 era type of play from Nelson and Peralta if this team was going to compete sooner than later. Good enough we could trade for a good package or retain and build around.

 

My other disappointment would have been that Santana didn't play a full season. We would have known how he fits in the future puzzle. I don't think you can say how a guy is going to hit longterm until the league has a chance to find your weaknesses, and I don't think 400 career at bats over two partial seasons gets us there.
