Big game tonight. It'd be good for this team to come out punching in this one to get some momentum back from the news of losing Yelich. It would be good mentally for our hitters to wallop Lopez tonight and continue beating up on a team that we should be beating.
"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.

Liking what we have seen from Black of late. Seems like he should be moving up in the bullpen ranks over some others. Would be nice to have another stuff guy in the pen.

 

Agree. He's the one I'm most excited about at this point. Who knows if/when he'll have that blow up game but also considering he's controlled for a while here's hoping they can turn him into a weapon. Kind of like what they were hoping for in Wahl when they got him. So, if that does happen plus Wahl comes back and is what they were hoping you could have a great backend again next year adding them to Knebel and Hader. Obviously a ton ifs and variables in there though, but just saying that's some potential fire coming in at end of games. Possibly could allow Hader to move to a more flexible role too.

Okay in all seriousness:

 

Yelich/Shaw/AAA 2B < Grisham/Moustakas/Hiura.

 

If we could win with Yelich plus a few AAA hitters I think the other group can keep the offense going.

 

Agreed. Obviously a bummer to lose Yelich. But we are on the verge of gaining Moose, Hiura and Woody for the stretch run. Suter has also been a pleasant surprise too. It’s not completely bleak!

Hiura not in the lineup, why did they pull him off the DL? Now is not the not time to rest, about to have 6 months for that

 

Because there is literally no disadvantage to activating him now that he is eligible to be activated. There are no roster limitations. Even if he isn't truly healthy, now if you absolutely need him to pinch hit in a key late game situation and he is physically able to do so, you have that option. He may not be truly ready for much more than that right now.
