I'm surprised they went with Bruihl over Borucki... I know that someone would have needed to be removed from the 40 to make room for Borucki but there were some options.

Anyway let's go Bruihl.

What's the point of the entire season if only the last 2 weeks matter?

Kirk is hitting sub 400 OPS in the last 2 weeks, bench him as well?

They have a backup with a higher WAR/PA than Kirk.

I seem to remember a crucial at bat in a game against the Yankees where he struck out Judge with men on base.

Not that I was giving the thumbs up to this move. (EDIT - But he got the job done!)

Way to go Bruihl

Not better defensively in any respect, argument still fails
