I hope CC is proactive and takes Braun out now. Use this as his off day so he can play tomorrow and through Pitt. If we don't hold an 8 run lead, we don't deserve the win.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

A little early for that. If it's still an eight+ run lead after six than do it. You can't take this win for granted right now when we need all the Ws we can get.

Disagree. 8 is and should be enough. Get him off his feet and put a better defensive player out there. It could've paid dividends down the road as he might play a game he normally wouldn't of.

So should they go out and pick up a starter?

 

They will be 3 out.

 

Pick up in September? Who?

 

Any pitching help will be internal I would think. Pretty much has to be.

 

I haven't checked but I'm sure there was a big contract or two that passed thru waivers.

 

It's possible Nelson might miss some of 2018 so might be a cheap way to pick up a guy to carry us in September and use next year too?

It's a moot point now, but "should" is the operative word here. These are the Brewers after all, and it's not like losing a game you had an eight run lead in is unprecedented. A "we don't deserve to win if we blow this big lead" is a dangerous mindset to have when you're battling for a playoff spot, especially a game against the Cubs. Did you think the Falcons had the Super Bowl wrapped up at 28-3?

 

That being said, I think we're safe now with a 14 run lead.
