Maybe the Padres will exhaust themselves with all this hustle. Their stars sure are good when they try. The Cubs, on the other hand… yikes.

Someone with the White Sox must have noticed Altuve tends to stand with his heels in the grass. Weird to play that card now instead of waiting for higher leverage; maybe they figured it was use it or lose it. I thought they were right, but umpires probably demanded obvious evidence. Interesting!

What is the purpose of the NFL’s illegal formation penalty for an offensive tackle being “uncovered”? I don’t understand why that formation would be unfair to the defense. The five OL are never eligible receivers, so why does this “trick” the D? @badgernoonan.bsky.social? @callmematub.bsky.social?

A fitting tribute to Miz by the Brewers to try to achieve a win total equal to his average fastball velocity.

Harrison has a new glove tonight. It’s not comically huge like Sasaki/Gausman, but it’s bigger. Hope that helps with the tipping.

If the Packers were a baseball team, they’d be a lineup full of Joey Gallos and a replacement level pitching staff. Occasionally impressive bombs, but very few wins. Ugly stuff.

It’s hard to fathom how far the Brewers have come. Irrelevant laughing stock to model franchise. Hopeless contraction candidate to perennial contender. None of this was likely. Don’t take it for granted. Cheers, Brewers fans!!!

Enough of the cheapskate act

As a lifelong Milwaukee Brewers fan, I’ve been a lot of things: humbled, embarrassed, humiliated, saddened. There’s one thing, however, that I have never been, and that’s betrayed. That is, until this...

Early Presidents Cup thoughts: - Medinah is unrecognizable in a good way; - the out of bounds fence is awesome; - the greens are much firmer than expected & hopefully will keep drying out; - the uniforms are super clean, but why is Adam Scott the only player wearing black shoes?

Sal Frelick’s injured throwing arm is not playable unless he hits a lot, and he’s not hitting much at all. Lara and Lockridge are gonna be more useful in the postseason, I think. It sucks, but Sal is clearly nowhere close to 100%.

“The orange ‘B’ logo featured on the hats, the helmets and the trim of the jerseys is inspired by the Baltimore Baseball Club of the 1890s. It’s a symbol of the city’s rich baseball history, and the mark was built into the green end seats in the ballpark when it first opened.” These are cool.

Eugenio Suárez has homered against the Brewers in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2026. He didn’t play against the Brewers in 2022. He’s on the Jay Bruce Brewer Ruiner list for sure.

A friendly reminder that Devin Williams faced 30 Reds batters over 9 games in 2023. He gave up no hits, no runs, and three walks. He struck out 17 (57%).

Cooper Pratt is way better than the public prospect list consensus suggested. The Brewers obviously rated him much more highly. If this is his floor, the extension he signed could be an Acuña-level underpay.

Big reunion at Wrigley tonight for the second half of the 2018 1st round draft class.

Brewers should consider giving Bo Naylor a chance behind the plate for Miz’s next start. Simplify the game plan and give Miz a reset. He and Contreras are falling into bad pitch calling patterns and the Cubs have been smart enough to notice and prepare.

The sound production on this Fox broadcast of Brewers-Rangers is awful: the overall volume and the mix of booth/field/crowd mics are fluctuating wildly. I guess this is appropriate as we listen to Levering and Smoltz’s very (very!) awkward first game together.

The Brewers have 84 wins. There are two games left in *August*. From 1993 until 2008, the Brewers never won 84 games in a *full season*. That’s *15 seasons*! Glory Days, indeed.

Would love to watch an alternate history film where the 2002 Brewers hire Pat Murphy instead of Jerry Royster to take over for Davey Lopes. Could Murph drag this horseshit team into contention? The scenes with Alex Sánchez, Jeffrey Hammonds, Ronnie Belliard, & Takahito Nomura would win Oscars.

This feels like a Mandela Effect thing, but Martín Pérez's stuff would have been almost exactly MLB average in 2006 (the first year of PITCHf/x). Twenty years later, backup catcher Gary Sánchez has better velo than that. Hitting is sooooooo hard.

I have a theory that the Brewers offense is significantly better when the home plate umpire is elite (like Quinn Wolcott today), but I lack the technical ability to figure out whether it is correct. Has anyone ever looked into this? @matrueblood.bsky.social?

I like how Dan Wilson managed that inning. It was smart to have two left-handers ready in the pen. That allowed him to keep an exhausted Miller in to face Bauers and Yelich. Otherwise the Brewers wouldn’t have scored so many runs. A true chess master in action.

Andrew Vaughn looks more comfortable as a third baseman than Gary Sánchez does as a first baseman, but neither will be winning a Gold Glove. The 2018 nostalgia is nice, but that team hit 218 home runs. The 2026 Brewers have hit only 111.

Having Bryse Wilson back in the Bryse Wilson role is comforting. Jake Woodford never felt right in that role. Bryse is the perfect combination of burly, durable, fast-working, filling-up-the-zone, and competent. An underrated addition (again).

The ABS challenge system works well when the home plate umpire is good. When the umpire is struggling, it makes the game tedious and ugly. If anything convinces me that a fully automated system is best, it will be games like tonight. It’s also a good reminder that most of the umpires are excellent.
