Cubs (Taillon) vs Brewers (Quintana): 5/3/25, 6:10pm

[BruisedCrew]

Boy, am I glad we traded in our tickets for tonight‘s game.

[RobertCrawley]

Quintana gave him a fastball up. And another.

The pro's pro is making mistakes.

[wibadgers23]

The amount of Cubs fans in Am Fam is embarrassing.  Doesn't help that the Cubs are taking the Brewers to the woodshed either.

[RobertCrawley]

Coun$ell already has his pajamas on, ready for bed.

Give him credit that guy has stepped up big time. That's what happens when you bring in a big bat to take pressure off young guys. Tucker was that. Chourio feeling it imo.

That's the difference in Chourio being counted on to be THE guy vs. PCA needing to be A guy.

[willie key]

Time to do other things this summer.    
 

I wonder if woodruff will pitch again for the brewers.      I wonder if we can get some young guys up here to cheer for

Exactly right. We all knew what needed to be done. Mark said no thanks. Going to be a long year because of it.

Woodruff cannot stop talkin…muted a couple times…..just awful way to spend $18 million.   Maybe he can get thru his 5th and 6th minor league outing and can maybe go 4 innings in June.

I'm not too worried about it.  My opinion going in is that this year was a calculated step back.  I've not seen anything to change that opinion.  Its going to happen from time to time with the way baseball works right now.

What was the move Milwaukee should have made?

 Could use a third baseman who can hit, in my humble opinion.

[RobertCrawley]

Yeli .209

Fair. We really only had AAAA guys as options. We have Boeve and Wilken not far off, though.

Give the idiots credit. Talking to a Cubs fan on a plane, he said so many more Brewers fans in Wrigley last few years. Nothing like this though.  60-70%?

And that's fine if this year isn't the focus.

[RobertCrawley]

Stop leaving that "fastball" up!!!

BIG MARKET > small market

Thanks, MLB!

They sign guys like Tucker and we lose guys like Adames.

Tell me it's fair!  If you do, it's a lie I cannot bear!

It's the excitement for them over being able to sign/retain guys that are good AND they are a huge population base very close by, unfortunately, and we are not a huge population base.

It's as fair as your owner is willing to spend.

Alonso is killing it. I would have signed him as the 1b and let Hoskins DH if you can't move him.

Glad we did not spend on Adames…having awful year.

Chicago is a good team

Milwaukee is a mediocre team 

The Brewers are getting exposed

It looks like this could be the down year many have anticipated for a few years

I’m not confident this ragamuffin collection of players can be competitive in 2025

Until further notice - I consider the Brewers to be unwatchable 

I don’t enjoy wasting three hours each day watching them underperform 

[Bulldogboy]

You have to ask why exactly Durbin was the guy the Brewers settled on from the Yankees. He clearly can't play 3rd or short so he's a 2b with a fringe bat. Thank God Williams has been brutal or this would be the whole conversation.

Wilken is not the answer anytime soon

Once again this year he’s hitting under .200 … in AA … not anywhere close to being ready to compete in MLB
