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

[Roderick]

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

 

Yeah if he goes south, Jeffress is going to be at 35 pitches before someone is ready after pitching last night.

Moustakas for Phillips and Lopez

Whewwww

[mtrebs]

Whew!

Great 1-2 pitch, any non-Posey hitter Ks on that

[OnaBadger58]

Jeffress was just getting the tough players out to make Knebel's job easier. Had it all the way.

Feels like as good of time as any to say it, but get an actual bullpen area, Giants. It's not 1948 anymore.

[82brewcrew82]

This bullpen is literally going to cause my death due to a cardiac event...i'm not even joking.

Moustakas for Phillips and Lopez

 

Um, does he play 2B now?

Shaw I guess.

Probably the first move I’ve seen Stearns make where I just can’t figure out why. I mean, there had to of been a better way to use Phillips than to get a player we really don’t need.

If true that is not that bad of a trade for the Royals. Kind of an overpay for Moustakas.

[liveforoctober]

Hoping for a "left handed hitter in Milwaukee" bump for moustakas.

 

Happy trails Brett Phillips. Wish you nothing but the best.

I'd say so for 2 months of a guy with a .309 OBP at a position we don't need

[ThisIsMyCrew]

I can’t imagaine Stearns makes that trade without another in mind....doesn’t make sense.

[82brewcrew82]

It's being reported all over now. I think it's legit.

[dlk9s]

On the bright side, if he gets out of this, he cleared McCutchen and Posey.

Part of me wonders if Shaw is involved in a deal for a pitcher.

Exactly my thoughts!

I doubt it.

In this scenario.. do we deploy a Braun/Aguilar 1B/3B against lefties?

Doubt it. The Brewers are thin at 3B unless the Brewers think Donaldson can come back next year and be a serviceable 3B, I don't think he can stay healthy for a whole year at 3B and is probably more of a DH or 1B than he is a 3B going forward.

 

The Brewers won't be able to afford Machado who would be the best option at 3B this off season. I just don't see how the Brewers could trade Shaw right now as there is a big black hole in the minors at 3B for the Brewers.
