Game Thread (7/29/2022): Brewers (Woodruff) at Red Sox (Davis) - 6:10 PM CDT

[edfunderburk]

I’m pretty confident the Brewers will not pick up the Wong option for 2023

Could Turang be the 2B next year?

Should we bump Urius over there & sign a 3B in free agency?

I don’t remember the last time so few comments were made in a game thread

Where is everyone tonight?

Maybe they made the trip to Boston? Sounds like a lot of Brewers fans are at Fenway.

Are you an actual “reverend” or is that a nickname?

We are going to need good boxberger now.    Not 30 pitches in an inning boxberger 

[igor67]

I appreciate JBJ finally earning some salary.

[yourout]

Comforting knowing JBJ can throw away at bats for someone other than the Brewers.

I am a Lutheran minister. Forum name goes back to the early 2000s versions of Brewerfan when I was in seminary. I suppose following the Brewers teaches the importance of humility, perseverance, and hope…or something like that. 
 

Got the good Boxberger in the 7th. Time for some insurance runs.

Freddy threw well in Nashville tonight that was great to see! That’s prob our best deadline deal acquisition we can make!

If he comes back and is good then that is easily the best deadline acquisition we could make

[nate82]

The Brewers bat boy is Tellez Jr?

Game thread posting has been way down most of the year, wondering if people just left the website all together when the big change occurred.

There are several pitchers returning soon from the IL that would be welcome additions 

I hope we look for a bat & let our pitching improve from within with Peralta, Houser, Cousins - potentially Topa & Perdomo

I post way less in IGT this year, combination of annoying ads and brutal amount of negativity.  So many “wasted season “ posts when reality is if we get to the postseason with Burns, Woody, and Freddy healthy along with Williams and Hader we have a punchers chance in any series. 
 

I just got home tonight and tuned in, was curious if any posters were in Fenway, this is my top bucket list item to watch a game from the top of the green monster.  Red Sox were always my 2nd favorite team.  I will get there someday for a series.  

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wasn’t the prettiest way to get it, but chalk up another scoreless inning for Williams.

I believe @Mass Haas was going tonight?

Nice pressure pitching from Devin. 

Tavern of the game Kaukauna...does the entire town still stink from cheese making?  Used to have to hold your breath to drive through it.

Lol

 

This gets filed away in the “little too dramatic” folder

Bring up the rooks for a new look up the middle: Turang at second, Frelick in center, Reetz behind the dish.

Very jealous, hopefully more frequent series in Boston with the new schedule format.  No way I could make it work this summer.

I honestly believe that Frelick should be our starting CF in 2023

i’d be delighted to see a draft & develop bat succeed  ….  Is Braun our last position player to be developed other than Taylor (to some degree)?

I'm told it isn't the cheesemaking that causes that horrible smell, it's from the papermaking plants, and it is disgusting.

[folly412]

Good fight from TT to get that Badger Mutual Insurance Run.

I'm all for trying Frelick at CF next year at this point. Without thinking too hard on timing Lucroy would be after Braun.

Nice Taylor.
