When the deal happened, I referred to Richards as a Participation Trophy and I stand by that assessment. -
I'm sure it was a difficult decision by Baldelli to even consider using him that night and it couldn't have gone worse. This is the clearest cut example of ownership and, to a lesser extent the front office, failing the team at the deadline. A manager dealing with injuries on a contending team should not be given Trevor-effing-Richards and told "make it work".

Alcala has been quite consistent this season, that one game just really ****ing sucked.

Win. A. Game.

Here's to lighting up old friend Martin.

That's not what I was saying and you know it. Listen, I'll say this once. You've made it clear you dislike me immensely. Just go ahead and ignore me and I will do the same for you, everyone will be the better for it.

To be clear, I would not pinch-hit quite as aggressively as Baldelli. But I agree with him maybe… 80% of the time? And at that point, I’m splitting hairs.

Brice Turang has a .608 OPS against LHP. Sal Frelick has just 60 PAs against LHP and has been pulled from a game he started 15 times and has been inserted into a game late 12 other times. The Brewers have depth in one place, the outfield. Where Frelick plays. Huh.

I guarantee I watch more Brewers games than you. There’s a reason I said “good teams with depth”. Milwaukee is sorely lacking in the latter, particularly at key positions.

I'm sorry Brian but I'm going to pick on you a bit. I cannot fathom why this thinking still exists. We'll use wRC+ because it's one of the best measures of overall offense we have available and is era-adjusted. Here are the career splits against LHP for some past and present Twins: Manuel Margot: 109 Justin Morneau: 85 Joe Mauer: 102 Jason Kubel: 81 Corey Koskie: 81 (no, this is not cherry picking, these are literally the *only* four LHBs I looked up and stopped because it convincingly proves the point) Manuel Margot is better against left-handed pitching than a first-ballot Hall of Famer, one of the best pure hitters of the past 30 years. Can we cut it out that random-but-decent lefties like Matt Wallner will "figure it out" if they just get more exposure to left-handed pitching?

You mean when he had like 25 PAs in April? Yeah, he looked bad. Young players do that sometimes. Also, Wallner had a .925 OPS last September. I mean, it's not four digits but maybe you're being unreasonable with your expectations. And as a person who watches a ton of baseball from a ton of teams, what Rocco does with his LHH against LHP is the norm for good teams with depth. I know none of you ever seem to believe this, but it's true. We have like 125 years of solid data that shows left-handed hitters are ****ing trash against left-handed pitchers 95% of the time.
