That’s gonna leave a bruise and some swelling on Tucker ouch

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

All in all Rich Hill isn’t pitching terribly for 45 years old lol

 

[cyfanatic13]

Thank goodness for replay. That was horrendous

 

[cyatheart]

Maybe try to get Merrill Kelly as a cheap 5th starter? Tyler Mahle could also be an attractive option…

Hell I would take Rich hill back for half a year.

I don't think i want Suarez for what he's going to cost. I just don't think this team is actually capable of winning a world series this year and I'd rather they didn't give up their best prospects for a two month rental.

 

[NazClone]

That 3rd run was huge.

Missed it by over a foot. Thank goodness for replay.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Shota and Boyd have been so good this season. Rea has been serviceable as well. Jed give us one more solid arm.

Nico is such a good hitter.

Nico is such a good hitter.

Great second basemen too.

How did the royals go from being a playoff team last year to this? Yikes

 

[cycloneworld]

That’s as bad of an error as you’ll ever see. Should catch that 1000/1000 if you are an MLB player. Royals look like ass tonight.

Well that's interesting. Misiorowski hasn't given up a run and the Brewers pull him with only 64 pitches thrown.

For all the (justified) fellating over Skenes, this kid with the Brewers looks even better. He is going to be a problem for us for a long time.

Sounds like they just did it to save him for the "long haul".

Sounds like we’re pretty zero’d in on Cabrera as our top SP target. Zombro and Tread love the analytics and he’s cheap (looking at you, Tom.) You can probably expect Caissie to head the package.

I like Cabrera, but I would hope we would get a bullpen arm in the package as well if we are sending Caissie to Miami. Caissies value is insane right now.

Unless the Cubs and Miami do some blockbuster trade where Cubs get Cabrera AND Alcantara and we pretty much trade away most of our farm for example like we send Caissie/Wiggins/Brown.

 

[cycloneworld]

The Brewers finally lost! Would be too bad if they followed up their 12 game winning streak with dropping 6-7 in a row.

 

[Cyforce]

Probably not a popular opinion but if you could land an ace and a back of the bullpen hammer that are both controllable for a few years I’d be ok with dealing Tucker if they don’t think we have a realistic shot at resigning him.

Then you have to go get Suarez to replace his production. Give Caissie a shot at DH/ 4th OF. It would allow Shaw to be super utility letting starters get a breaks down the stretch rotating the DH ABs.

End of the day if we get more for Tucker than we gave up Hoyer looks like a genius.
