If Nestor Cortes hasn’t settled on a baby name for his upcoming bundle of joy (and certainly wishing the family the best), Homer Bailey and Homer Bush have a suggestion. So does this guy…

well played 🥁

Really bad pitchers

Cannot or won’t. In 2019 and 2022 they did have payroll in the 17-19th range in the league, but last few seasons more like 20-24th.

i like the moves they make, but cannot keep losing players and stay competitive.  This season may be that wake up call (may be for fans or just me). Hopefully management can and will spend into the 15th-18th range in payroll for a season or two like 2018-2019.

We should be able to pay as much as any other team in the league IF it's a fair league.

I'm just sticking around to see if the Yankees hang 30 on us today.

Half way there through 3.2

This is just such a massive embarrassment. Pathetic start to the season

Conner Thomas - good guy, great story, but not a major league pitcher 

I would kindly return him to STL sooner than later 

No need to hide him on the roster of a team that wants to compete for playoffs in 2025

[yfinn6]

I know it hasn't mattered since the first inning but IDK, I would maybe just walk Judge. Just my thoughts on the situation.

If Brewers offer him back why would they say yes? I'm guessing they are good.

We’ve tied the record of 8 HRs allowed in a single game in Brewers history (9000 games)

We've allowed two less walks than homers.

Okay - send him to Biloxi … just get him off this roster 

[biedergb]

Last season we traded Burnes for Joey Ortiz, and a pitcher who is either injured or highly ineffective.

And this offseason we lost Willy Adames for nothing (well a draft pick so I’m excited).

Then traded D. Williams for a guy at AAA and a pitcher who is heading toward the IL.

And we “traded” Shane Smith’s roster spot for Connor Thomas.

 

Boy that compensatory draft pick (from Adames) better be a future hall of famer.

Which is why I updated to 40.

Reyes is not a 3rd baseman

They can take him back to the minors and work on that slider and everything else that isn't working

[Frisbee Slider]

Brewers tie the franchise record with eight home runs allowed in single game.

I'll take the over!

Giving up homeruns is frustrating, and it's been a frustrating start to the season.

But if the Brewers were playing defense like the Yankees today, I would be livid.

It's the economics of baseball's fault that we're making bad decisions and trades.

What a gift to find such great perspective in this game
