This actually makes me not want to watch the ASG. I hated went they went to league hats. This makes the game as boring as an NHL or NBA ASG.

I'm sure it is just driven by merc sales.

Chicago Cubs put seven runs on the board in the top of the first inning yesterday...

... then promptly gave up 15 unanswered runs the rest of the game to lose to the Milwaukee Brewers.

First game in the history of MLB where both teams had 7-run leads in the first 4 innings.

but enough about the South Dakota national guard
 
The Brewers' unis tonight are fantastic! Best I have ever seen for a franchise whose sartorial splendor has been limited.
 
The redesigned uni's are amazing. They did an amazing job on all four designs.

I am soooooo glad they retained the navy from the Miller Park era, because the Royal Blue and Yellow was just... yuk.... even growing up I thought it was a little much.

I am biased but the brewers have some solid uniforms (if we are completely ignore the mid to late 90s).

Ugh, those Motre Bame jerseys were the worst. I think I unfortunately have some clothes with that logo on it packed away somewhere at my mother's house.
 
When Nike came out with the Brewers and Pirates jerseys last year, I thought they looked a little too much like college jerseys, but once they got out on the field they looked sharp.
 
Twins Nation: All the Mets fans want SAC to drop a load on Berrios to solve our SP problem.

Is this a wise decision?

Do you like high pitch count SO pitchers? He'll give you 5 innings every time. Sometimes you'll get more!

Last night: 106p, 7in, 10k

I like them more than starting AA relievers on 2 days notice (a thing we actually did this year).

It sounds to me like Berrios is high risk / high reward and that's not what we need. We need Jamie Moyer to soak up 7 innings every fifth day and give up 3 or 4 runs and then we take our chances.

Berrios might actually thrive as a Met. Here in Minnesota he was expected to be deGrom. In NY, that role has been taken.

Exactly.
Berrios is misslotted being in the Twins rotation.

He's not "Spahn and Sain*", he's more "and pray for rain".


*"Scott and Deshaies"?

There actually is something to this, it happened with Seaver and Gooden too. Nobody expects you to be the ace. There are many, many pitchers to whom that is an unalloyed blessing. Koosman and Darling and now Stroman seem to be extremely happy just being "wow this guy is amazing and he's only their 2!"

Not a Mets guy ... was Viola a "happy to be the two-slot" guy also after Minnesota or was he the Mets staff ace?
 
Mets fandom right now.
