2025 Brewers Optimism Thread!

His average jump is +6 feet above average, over a foot better than Ceddanne Rafaela and Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the Brewers aren't even playing him in center field! Most of his time has been in left field. "Jump" is distance covered toward the catch point in the first three seconds from pitch release.

I wonder what his JUMP+ number is.  You know... adjusted by ballpark 😉

Sweep, sweep, oh how sweep it's been!!!

Half game out of the playoffs, odds are pretty good if you just win the next series we would make up that last bit.

I wonder if this will push the Brewers to update the other minor league facilities.  Especially when you compare the DSL facilities to like the ones currently in A and A+.  While the AA and AAA facilities are newish.  I am not sure any of the facilities other than the  spring training facilities are up to par with the DSL facilities.  Right now it is like a downgrade going from the DSL to A ball facilities wise.

I have to say it is good that the Brewers have finally invested into the DSL.  I just hope this investment continues into the rest of the minor league facilities.

I don't see how they would do major upgrades without actually owning that minor league team.  So sure if Carolina facilities are behind.  But they don't own the Appleton team do they - I haven't kept up?

Carolina is moving to Wilson and getting a new park. Wisconsin did some major renovations and has a great facility for A+. Quintana on his rehab assignment said it's a AAA quality facility for the players. Not sure on Biloxi but that park is only a decade old I believe.

Hype machine is in overdrive on mlb network today……

They’ve been a bit under the radar lately despite being hot but Miz will draw more national attention for sure. Plus they have gotten back in the wildcard picture and two of the teams above them (Philly/SD) have unimpressive run diffs. 

[torts]

Another division series win!  Get that day off and run over the cubs!  Let's gooooooo!!!!!!!

[markedman5]

Mitchell has only played 25 games

 

[torts]

I chalk a split to be a win against a surprisingly strong cuba team keep stacking those series wins guys we've got the world series to win!!!!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The Cubs have a good skid in them coming soon. Brewers are going to take this division in the end.

... and in a few weeks when he gets 4 hits for the week, the "Yelich is washed up" banter will begin.

I am so glad the season is 162 games.  👍

[torts]

Another!

Series!

Win!

[markedman5]

No hitter would have ended earlier if we had an average left fielder……instead he made this play look fairly routine

Been a minute to post this gem

Midway point - 90 win pace... LET'S GO!!!!!!!

[torts]

I dunno about all of you, but I am feeling pretty pretty good about this team!
