And they lost their best pitcher until 2025 with tommy john. A few major blows no doubt.

We're supposed to face 2 aces on back to back days soon. Gallen from the diamondbacks and Lopez from the Twinkies. Both on the road. We got Gallen both times in separate 2 game series with the diamondbacks. Pretty brutal luck.MrCoachEricTaylor said:
Looks like we're continuing our streak of missing opposing teams aces, Burns is pitching tonight for the Brews. Still have to face Woodruff and Peralta though who are no slouches. I'll take all of our guys except maybe woodruff over Heaney.

A person very close to the Wander Franco investigation claims it’s “very unlikely” that Franco will ever play in MLB again, per @hgomez27 pic.twitter.com/Hi5jDx2f51

Lineup woes
Jankowski looks like he's turned back into a pumpkin. He's 7 for his last 62
Garcia is 3 for his last 30.
Seems like over the last week or 2 the offense is carried nightly by semien, Seager, garver, and Jp Martinez. We need 2 more of the Taveras, grossman, Duran, lowe, Garcia group to get hot.
One concerning thing from the Detmers game is it seems like Garcia and a few other hitters took a combined 15-20 "huge" or "home run" swings and they were all whiffs.Tksymm7 said:
I have confidence that Lowe will come back around. He's shown to be a pretty high level hitter and just needs to make a tweak here or there. Garcia is really confusing to me. He's worked on his plate discipline and I think it shows. He's got more walks and is working counts, but he's not hitting the ball right now at all. So his increased plate discipline isn't really leading to much for the team. We need him to HIT. He's one of THE run producers.

Taveras and Duran both getting a day off. That coupled will the rest day yesterday maybe will freshen them back up a bit for the stretch run. Quote:
Would have loved for Texas to make the Lynn deal. Certainly not a want (TORP), but a need (options if back end continues to struggle and front end can't stay healthy).
Nice part of that deal is it wouldn't have cost you much, and it would have at least not put you behind the 8-ball as the deadline approaches. As if we don't land a TORP -- which is not an easy thing to do with everyone vying for one -- then we're going to be in for a rocky finish.

Heaney won't last long tonight already at 40 pitches.

Need to get at least 5 out of him.

Looks like Brewers will get 5 runs out of Heaney.
Is it a pipe dream to see Eovaldi back this season?
