Only thing about 1 is I do associate it with playoff choking. 97-99 were great but heartbreaking.

5 is the one I associate with my childhood so I like them more than others do… however they are still the worst of the 6

No. 2

Dusty Baker discusses Justin Verlander’s 500th start, Chas & Abreu injuries, and more#Ready2Reign pic.twitter.com/JwxrI5gwym

it's such a strange situation with Abreu

.634 OPS in 464 plate appearances needs to be on the bench

10 days off could help both him and the team (i.e. a different bat & glove at 1st base)

6-9 in our order is just so bad

---

OPS check:

Dubon .655
Singleton tbd
Pena .669
Machete .551

need someone to hit above their numbers today. Should not be afraid of Detmers

when the weather got hot...the power disappeared

2 home runs since June 1st....woof

He's at least getting on base slightly more, lately. wRC+ for Aug (so far) is up around his April production.

.429 babip, but .328 wOBA. Walking at more than double the rate at any other point this season.

Fine, I overemphasized slightly to not sound too much like a homer, I guess. I hope he keeps it up

yes, #4 is number one

a very crisp clean look

At which position does Joey Loperfido project? He plays all over the place in Corpus

Kevin Brown will return tonight, as expected, after being taken out of the booth since July 23. https://t.co/kRugzDmotE

Blink twice if you're being held hostage. Guarantee he was forced to put something like this out

lol the Orioles are the bad guys now

It's big for him since he's not a high on base guy. Some guys live where his best month is at.

Jose Abreu underwent an MRI today on his back and is being seen by team doctors. Dusty Baker didn’t rule out an IL stint.

By counting rings around his trunk they have placed his age at 47 or as they say in Cuba "36"

That's funny stuff right there. Tip of the cap to you

We should really be starting Meyers tonight. He actually hits lefties extremely well and covers far more ground than Dubon.

---

Don't you know?

Dubon plays very well when JV starts, but only when JV starts. He is a much better match to cover CF than any other player, because JV specifically gives up fly ball outs in exactly the right areas Dubon can field but Meyers cannot.

Chandler on 790. Starts with an epic rant against the LLWS, talks about Tucker extension, and ends on why Abreu should no longer play every day.

heard part of that earlier. Never would have guessed that was his voice. I figured he had a squeakier voice

Another team potentially on the move?

The Brewers are “contemplating” relocating from Milwaukee if they can’t get funding for renovations to American Family Field

I think teams are trying to move before expansion so they can be in a better city before a brand new team gets there and has a leg up to be able to make more just by location.

Maybe but that stadium and support is an issue in Milwaukee.

Not exactly a good look for them.

Finished in 2001. 1 year newer than the juice box. While I imagine Minute Maid could use some new paint and refresh here and there, trying to hold the city hostage for major renovations they didn't want to pay for the first time probably isn't going to go over well. Especially considering they haven't won anything.

American Family Field was one of the largest construction projects in Wisconsin history. It was built with US$290 million of public funds from a 0.1% sales tax that began January 1, 1996, and ended on March 31, 2020.The tax was applied on purchases in Milwaukee County and four surrounding counties: Ozaukee, Racine, Washington, and Waukesha. The tax was controversial, in part because of the notion of using public funds for a privately owned sports team. The state senator who cast the deciding vote in the funding bill, George Petak of Racine, lost a recall election based on his vote for the stadium.
