2018-07-27: Brewers (Anderson) at Giants (Bumgarner) 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-1 -- Joakim Soria Debut]

Maybe Braun and Arcia will be our biggest additions.

[liveforoctober]

If Braun can become 80% of the Ryan Braun of old... it would be such a blessing.

[The stache]

Christian Yelich is on NBA Jam style FIRE right now.

 

Christian Yelich is Bo Jackson "excellent" in Tecmo Super Bowl right now.

A great debate, who was better, Boggs or Brett?

 

I'll take Boggs. Even though Boggs had a lower career SLG his OPS was a point higher than Brett's. OPS+ they are close also at 131 for Boggs and 135 for Brett. Career WAR wise they are also close with Boggs up by 2.7. Boggs and Brett are pretty close so I don't think you could go wrong with either of them.

[LouisEly]

Braun's OPS this season with 2-out and RISP is a ridiculous 1.436 (heading into tonight's game).

 

His overall numbers aren't good but there is something that he adds to the lineup that is intangible.

Yup that is why it is a great debate. The greatest ever is Ty Cobb or Willie Mays in CF, although now we may be seeing the final answer to that question...Trout.

Call me optimistic, or crazy, but I really think he can. Hope to keep seeing that opposite field approach. Feel like is been more pull happy than normal this year.

We’ve had so many guys regress that internal additions are bound to happen somehow through second half improvements.

 

Braun, Shaw, Arcia, Santana, Pina, anyone taking Sogards AB

[topper09er]

anyone taking Sogards AB

 

Based on an earlier post that person might be Sogard

[adambr2]

Chase Anderson very quietly now down to a 3.69 ERA.

 

Davies' rehab start went well tonight. I wonder how much his likely nearing return will factor into their decisions to get or not get another starter?

[wildcat83]

If that happens, the wheels have fallen off the wagon!

Sogard 4.0, now with 15% more grittiness.

Jeffress looking filthy right now. Night and day from yesterday

[FVBrewerFan]

Wow JJ, 97 4 seamer that moved a foot. That's ridiculous.

[topper09er]

I feel like if Jeffress ever got on base he would not be joking and fraternizing with the opposing first baseman, and i like that.

[hurricanecrush]

Off the field they are close as well. Boggs with an outstanding mustache and was known to eat lots of fried chicken and drink lots of beer. but

LOL crazy story. Who tells that, especially on camera? And I love how he immediately transitions immediately to “who’s pitching?”

He’d totally plow a catcher!

I feel like if Jeffress ever got on base he would be starting at 2B the next night.

[The stache]

One thing I notice tonight-only 5 strike outs against a guy that historically been a very strong strikeout pitcher. He's only at 7.7 K/9 IP this season (down from 8.8 entering the 2018 season).

 

I would like to see this team show more patience at the plate. Good things happen when you make an opposing pitcher, even one as good as Bumgarner, work.

 

With the success Yelich has been having, I have to wonder if his approach doesn't start to rub off on his teammates.

[adambr2]

Come on JJ/Pina. Pitch selection stinks this inning.

[BruisedCrew]

Jeffress continues to struggle.

[wildcat83]

Well, ball 3 was strike 1

[brooks_quichenick]

What happened after those 1st 2 batters. Man

The only pro athlete I could see telling that kind of a story on camera would be Brett Favre.

[Eye Black]

I’m surprised they aren’t getting someone up with Jeffress’ struggles.

 

Edit: Williams up now.
