Breakout prospect Trent Grisham is expected to join the Milwaukee Brewers soon, sources tell ESPN. Grisham, a former first-round pick, played his way onto the Brewers with a standout season at Double-A and Triple-A. A big outfield bat, he is arguably the Brewers’ top prospect.

Guy has been lighting it up. Heard he is supposed to start in Oak tonight ???
Grishham gets the start today, batting 9th and playng cf.
Homer Bailey 9-7 (5.33 ) era vs Chase Anderson 5-2 ( 3.89 ) era
John Grisham?
Two runners in scoring position for MR. 
Grisham with one out in the 4th
sac fly to left drives in E. Thames to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead
first big league rbi for Grisham
19 game hitting streke for Yelich, as he just misses a home-run, with one high off the fence in right, for a double. Hiura gets hit, bases loaded, a wild pitch give the Crew another run. 3-1 bottom 7
Thanks Skully. Not able to watch.
So game stats say Guerra comes in for 7th , gives up a hit, a walk, and wild pitch to give up a run. That's not very clutch Junior !!!
Hader with two losses potentially. 
Well Hader with the blown save, but this could have been a 3 or 4 run lead. 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the 3rd and Moose pops up and Braun gounds out. Bases loaded no outs in the 7th and 1 run scores when Braun strikes out on a wild pitch -- Moose grounds into the FC with no outs, then Brauns ab, then Thames K's. Missed opportunities.
Hader 3 games in a row...not available with the Cubs up tomorrow.
runners on the corners for the A's one out Jay Jackson on the hill. A's up 4-3 bottom 8.

Yeah and it was the 8th inning when he came in. Was he really going to go 2 innings on his 3rd straight day of pitching?
Hendriks mows down the Brewers in the 9th 1,2,3
A's win 5-3
Cubs Friday afternoon 1:20pm
Vlad Guerrero was one of my favorite baseball players of all time.
I think his kid is chip off the old block

Which kid? He's got 8 by 5 different women. (I know you mean Vlad Jr.).

That was freaking brutal. Looks like we get a chance to see our new pitchers this weekend... Hopefully, they bring it.
Dish and FSN fighting really sucks balls
Davies has been bad for more than a week now...

In the last three games, he's given up 17 earned runs in 13 innings. It's probably time for him to on the DL with an obligue strain.
Maybe Hiura should play at first base?
With two errors today, Brewers rookie Keston Hiura now has eight on the season. That's just three shy of the most for any MLB second baseman even though Hiura is only playing in his 46th game.
Brewers anemic offense again and lose their 5th of 6th. In danger of playing meaningless games in September at this point.
Craig Counsell looking for something to jump start the offense, will start Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot today vs Chubs
Houser vs Darvish
Trent Grisham is having a very good afternoon 3 hits in 4 at bats, he just hit his first major league dinger to strait away center field. BUT Crew down 7-2 top 8.
Well, now we have a little more insight as to why Stearns was not willing to go all-in on this team...
4 games back with 49 to play. There is a lot of time to make up those 4 games. Remember last season?
Atta boy!

They were 6 back of the Cubs on August 28th last year.
But last season, the pitching was promising and you could at least sense they could go on a run. They added Moustakas to the lineup, and Yelich caught fire. But the pitching stayed strong throughout, and Knebel came back from the minors throwing fire. Don’t see that this year.
Is it really plausible that the pitching does a complete 180 in August? I suppose anything can happen, but come on... it all started with Knebel going down, and Nelson falling apart after a year out. They just don’t have it this year. I think based on Stearns’ moves, they weren’t going to invest in this season. Shift gears, make some offseason moves to improve the starting staff, and move forward to try to get back to better baseball in 2020.
I'm not too worried about this Brewers team. They made decisions for the longer haul, and things can turn around rather quickly in this division.
Some of these young arms, and rehabbing arms could bounce back and surprise a lot of people. Would be nice to see them catch fire on a run, but, that last Cubs series was a dumpster fire.Kinda felt like that was going to be the case anyways. Just going to try to forget about it and move on.
BTW, I'll never forget STL being about 16 games out after the All-Star break, Brewers on cover of SI, then that dipshit Niger Morgan calls Albert Poulos a pussy. That fuKcing idiot. Of course, STL stormed all the way back afterwards to win it all...
Baseball's weird, man. This team can come back if we get some pitchers healthy and on point, and their bats come around, consistently.
Brewers finally punch through with 3 in the 7th.
Rangers have only 4 hits. Brewers have walked 10, 2 hbp and 2 errors. What an ugly game.
Thames with his 3rd career walk-off...
Love it....invested the entire night on this from the first pitch.
The Brewers are 8-4 in the 12 games that Yelich hasn't played this year. That's a 108 win pace for whole season.
They are 53-52 in the games he's played. That's an 82 win pace.
As Trophies said, baseball is weird.
ERIC FREAKING THAMES! https://t.co/IAjJUB2Q1S

Keston Hiura is unbelievable...
Only 1 and 1/2 back now. Crew wins, Scrubs get stomped 10-1.
Albers gets the double play ball... you know it’s your night when..
That was a remarkable DP in 8th w K & gun to 2nd by Grandal.
Hella Win last night by Thames & tonight w solid pitching & hitting. 5 game win streak.
If we are poised for anything, it is lightning in a bottle.

Bongers! I love Eric Thames. One of the coolest, kindest guys you’ll meet. Lives nearby. That is one good dude. No doubt. I’m pretty happy for him and his hitting the NITRO switch this season.
