Can the Brewers do it?

[treego14]

Ranger is facing some real Danger!

Our offense is a Banger!

Quintana makes every bat turn into a ripe banana!

No faith leap to get a sweep!

On the Cubs and Cards we continue to creep!

Alexander DFA'd to make room for Quintana

[KCBrewerfan34]

I was going to lose my mind if they sent Patrick down instead of the gas man Alexander. 

[edfunderburk]

The Alexander DFA was welcome news this morning

I’d like to see new faces in place of Cameron & Monasterio too - whether that be promotions (Dalbec & Zamora) or a low-level trade

I hope Patrick remains when Woody returns - I believe he may add more value in 2025

And there was much rejoicing

We are fine with starters.   Any chance we can flip Cortes for a star back end reliever?     I heard that’s his value

Yankees have a guy with a 6.53 ERA their fans would love to get rid of.

I say we do it.

I just checked and the Brewers rotation was 10th in ERA and 9th in FIP in May.

That's crazy, all considering.

[Joseph Zarr]

What are we thinking? 53 runs by the 3rd inning today? Seems reasonable.

The FIP is the surprising one. The rotation was 5th in ERA in April. Frankly the rotation is the reason this season didn't completely fall apart in April and May even if the ERA is slightly inflated due to a shorter leash.

[Frisbee Slider]

Hiura at 1B and Orlando Arcia at 2B today for Colorado. That should fix things 🙂

It's also mixing in a fair number of openers, I think.

Still, the overall takeaway for me is that the Brewers have somehow cobbled together capable bulk innings, despite the losses to free agency and the overwhelming number of injuries. It's quite the feat, IMO.

I just tuned in an for a minute was worried that Paul Molitor passed away unexpectedly.  Had to google why they are all wearing a small 4.

Why are they wearing #4?

[ecjimg]

Lou Gehrig day. 

[HarryDoyle]

After 17 runs yesterday, expect 2 max today.

[HarryDoyle]

Quintana not very impressive today.

[BruisedCrew]

Oh, oh. 
 

Yelich headed to IL?

I was just going to put in game thread yesterday.    Now that Yelich is hitting what’s the over under for the month he gets hurt for two months.   Couldn’t last a day

[BruisedCrew]

Quintana might be done after this inning after that shot. 

[Zad Fnark]

Ortiz's bat looking good today.

A hit here could tie the game
