By the power invested in me through this Uecker Magic 8-Ball, I hereby declare this game Chafin proof.

[Underachiever]

Loutos is not good.

Rottino, but yeah, I was thinking the same thing. 

[bensheeps]

Can we stay and play the rest of the year in DC?

[Underachiever]

Most importantly, Brewers lead MLB in run differential at the moment.

[CheeseheadInQC]

Whoever mentioned earlier in the series that the Brewers would be fine as long as they got to the Nationals’ bullpen fast, well there is the normal being right and then whatever this is.

[markedman5]

Crooked numbers growing like weeds fir the Crew

If lockridge turns out to have the impact  Vaughn had people are going to take brewers front office making deals with the devil seriously.     Or no one will ever trade with us again

Today is Seigler’s seventh start at 3B this year, results of those first six games were…

0721 at SEA

Or LA...

People hating on Lockridge the first day look silly now

He’s had several 100+ mph EV outs as well this series 

[JackNicholson1974]

I think the 52 hits they have this series is a new MLB record for hits in a 3 game series. This is a generational offense.

[markedman5]

Started the season 8-18 on the road

Now ,….best road record in baseball

It's not deals with the devil...

It's Uecker magic. 

That time when he didn't know if he was peeing... they bottled that... whatever liquid it was... and they use it to sign all contracts and trades now. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Cubs are really pressing. PCA strikes out swinging to strand runners at the corners.

Dealing with Milwaukee is going to become a fascinating game of cat and mouse. The proper response by another team will be that if we ask for a player, they need to hang on to that player like grim death and completely rethink their approach to that player's development. Consequently, Arnold and team will need to shift approach and start faking teams out by making their first proposal the players they actually don't want to acquire, and only pivot to their real target after the other team initially balks.

Arnold is already playing 3D chess, so this should not be a difficult transition.

The worst thing you can do as a brewers regular is go on the injured list.   You might not ever get your job back

Of course those results would have been the same if they had played me at third base.

It has been amazing. Small sample but, Vaughn, Perkins, and Lockridge have all outhit the players they replaced (Hoskins/Bauers, Frelick, Chuourio).  Hope they can keep this up.

Right, which is a perfect example why getting bent out of shape about batting orders before games is pointless…especially with this year’s team.

Truly, there will be a point pretty soon where an opposing GM will call us asking about a trade just to hear the names that we are interested in so that they can lock those guys up to long-term deals.

[markedman5]

Yeli walks again and then looks into the dugout with a smirk on his face…….they must be having a lot of fun right now…….

It’s kind of like when urban Meyer said just find out who Wisconsin is recruiting at running back and go get them
