Great start. Good job by the vets grinding out those at bats and producing on top of it.
-
Vaughn hit everything hard in the first game too. Even his double play was squared up..
-
Keep making him throw pitches..
-
I don't care what others say, this is a really nice AAA ballpark.

Mon. 8/18: Next-to-Last Games for the DSL Squads
liveforoctober replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I've made this same selfish gripe about 4 times now but AHHHHHHHHHH... We have one remaining home stand here in Appleton for the season. An infield of Fischer, Made, Pena, Dinges, and Adamczewski is the best thing we will ever have here at one time and we are going to get 6 games of it. Happy as a Brewers fan. Super salty as an Appleton resident. -
Would have loved to double them up tonight but I don't mind letting them go to sleep on a 7-0 loss to think about :)
-
Holy smokes. I missed that one. Well then.. nevermind!
-
I don't know the current plans for Henderson but I believe he is eligible either tomorrow or the following day to come off of the IL. If they try to give us a doubleheader Wednesday I would rather throw Henderson and Woodruff and have Miz be a multi-inning guy out of the bullpen or something like that?
-
I still would like clarity on the 27th player rule of anyone knows it.. If Chad Patrick starts tonight and we get five innings in and then postpone the game, can we bring up another pitcher to finish the game tomorrow as a part of another double header? Or can we not use two separate guys with that 27th man rule to play in the same game?
-
I guess I would look at the trend line, much like the stock market. This is his first real attempt in the big leagues.. so look at the 30 day numbers vs the 15 day numbers vs the 7 day numbers and see which way he is trending. To me he is trending very much in the right direction. Black is an unknown. Siegler plays 5+ positions and allows you the option to PH Jansen if needed. As far as bench guys go... He is valuable.
-
In the last week Siegler has come to the plate 15 times and has reached base safely in 8 of those trips.

2025 Magic Number Thread
liveforoctober replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Would like to see a Ricky Bones reference in this thread by Thursday afternoon.. -
This is a great point. If it happens and we get a new arm tomorrow... might as well let it be Patrick who gets yanked around a little. I didn't think about the up and down aspect of Gm2.
-
Random thought, do we know the rules if we play Gm 1 and get rained out in Gm 2 and try again tomorrow for a double header in terms of the extra pitcher? Does it have the be the same guy or can we bring up a new arm tomorrow? I don't want to get too cute but wonder if we should throw Patrick in the first game and then swap him with another bullpen arm if GM2 were to get rained on. I am pretty sure Henderson is eligible to come off the IL tomorrow?
-
I'm just getting home and was only able to catch bits and pieces of the game but heard the final two innings... not willing to go back through the whole thread so I'm sure some of this has been repeated... but two big things about this one/moving forward -> If we take 3 of 5 from Chicago the division if effectively over. Moves today should have reflected that thought process to bring a full healthy club to Chicago and they did. As odd as it sounds, the winning streak and breaking the record and George Webb and all of that almost seemed like it was becoming a distraction, in the extent of the coverage it was getting. I don't want to lose ever, but I almost feel a relief that we can be done with it now and just worry about baseball again. Is it weird I'm glad they lost so we can just go focus on winning the division this week?
-
I just realized Lockridge does not know what it is like to lose as a Brewer. He is the key. Undefeated since his arrival.
-
Fully expecting the Sunday of all Sunday lineups. My guess with the lefty on the mound.. Frelick RF Ortiz SS Contreras DH Vaughn 1B Jansen C Durbin 3B Mona 2B Berroa CF Lockridge LF
-
Little worried about the bullpen heading into Chicago. Can Quintana throw us 7 tomorrow? Can we be up by 12 runs so we can throw Seigler? The ideal is 6 from Quintana and 3 from Myers.
-
Re: The extra pitcher rule for the doubleheader on Monday.. can we grab anybody or do we have to follow the same call-up rules otherwise? Is Anderson available for us to grab?
-
My very uneducated opinion is that I think he will have closing options, but I'm not sure he will have big money options. I could see someone like Pittsburgh giving him one year, $7 million. Allows a Pittsburgh like team to show their fans they are trying by signing a name, and then if they can turn him around have a trade piece at the deadline. If he can't get more than $6-$7 million though... I wonder if he isn't better off taking less for a lighter role to rebuild his rep and go for a bigger contract in '27? If he gets a closers roll and fumbles it away again next year that might be it for him getting that chance. If he can't find more than $6 elsewhere and the Brewers offer him $4 with incentives, I feel like he should consider us and we should consider him. This has been said multiple times here but this does feel like a Jeffress situation all over again.
-
They need to go 23-18 the rest of the way. Sure seems inevitable with the pixie dust they are currently carrying. I will feel good about that number if we can win this series against Cincinnati by splitting these last two and then taking 3 of 5 from the Cubs. We would need to go 19-15 after that, a 56% clip. Lot of tough opponents on the horizon however.

August is all green.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Murphy gets beat up a lot (rightfully so!) for his pen usage... but if he really played matchups right there and didn't stick to the tiring "each guy has his inning" thing ... I applaud him. Other than Megill I love having all guys available at all times.
-
Keeping the righty in when Barry Bonds is on deck... is a choice! Let's see if it pays off...
-
Koenig or Miller for the 8th?
