From a baseball standpoint Joey has 'earned' the demotion to a platoon guy this year and to a question mark for his future.

From a human standpoint he has watched the Brewers give away his job in the future to a kid who hadn't even debuted yet, paid that kid a lot more money than he has ever been offered, then had them call up the kid later/now to take his job permanently. That's a lot for any player to process mentally over the course of a few months.

From both a baseball and human standpoint that was an awesome moment for him. That was a primal roar he let out around the bases.

Joey telling the ball to get out was one of my favorite moments of the year. This team never gives up and I love watching the Crew every game. Baseball is a long grind.

Wow

I mentioned it awhile back, Elroy Face of Pittsburgh had 18 wins out of the pen in 1959. It's in reach.

No help from the priests. Cubs walk them off.

I have coached kids who have gone through the same type of emotions when their hard work has paid off. 

i actually teared up a little.

Call me old-fashioned (with a nice bourbon preferably), but I believe your best hitter hits every day.

Facing the righty tomorrow, what are the odds that Vaughn is on the bench?

99.99999%?

If I counted right the Brewers have faced 32 RHP since Vaughn came back from injury.

He has started 15 of those 32 games, or 46.9%.

The Brewers have gone 8 W - 7 L in those 15 games, and 13 W - 4 L in the 17 games Vaughn didn't start against RHP since his return.

Vaughn as PH this year
11 PA of 333/455/556 (183 wRC+)

Frelick as PH this year
8 PA of 429/500/429 (172 wRC+)

Vaughn vs RHP 2026
82 PA of 260/329/356 (94 wRC+)

Frelick vs RHP 2026
203 PA of 264/337/356 (96 wRC+)

Vaughn vs RHP 2025-26
250 PA of 261/320/423 (106 wRC+)

Frelick vs RHP 2025-26
