You'd never have to worry about a pitch clock violation...

I noticed Kris Bryant was on the team and having a bit of a down year. But then I checked what is left of his contract.... ouch.

😉Winker😉 got it. Not Winkler, or Weaker, or put-a-fork-in-me-I'm-done.

I knew there was one decent era I forgot, but technically... that isn't "a" 1B. 😝 Yeah, I didn't say we needed a trade to get the 3 bats. I would've swapped Winkler for Huira already.

I suppose you could say bat, bat, bat is DH, 1B, and RF/3B (in order of importance). But I was more going for the baseball's version of the 3 top rules of realty: "location, location, location" 1B was historically "easy"... yet seems so hard for the last decade for the Brewers to actually find one. And have we ever had an above average DH since the NL started using it?

Bats, bats, and more bats. This is what we need. Our BA is ridiculously low, so it shouldn't be hard to get contact hitters to improve (or a few key internal improvements as specific players are underperforming). But really OBP should be the metric. Sure, you can't walk someone in unless the bases are loaded, but a single does nothing if the bases are empty...

Only if he is 6'2"? Prince Fielder says hi!. Owen Miller is 5'11" (as is Prince). Sure, that might be nice. Would be nice if our 1B hit 300 and 50 HR/year too. Owen Miller has been our best defensive 1B we've had for a few years and his height doesn't bother him. If Black can do about that while hitting 270/410/445 (his MiLB averages), I'd happily take that at 1B.

I certainly hope the Brewers don't regress to the TLR led Cardinals! Oh wait... the isn't the definition of "regress to the mean" ?

How is Black's D at 3B? I recall that being a draft-day drawback with perhaps a move to 2B necessary, but I haven't paid close attention to it since. If his D is poor, maybe 1B could be a long-term home... Our 1B cupboard is SO bare...

I was with you... but on the radio at the time!

Statistically, I have no doubts that larger bankrolls give team a greater chance to win simply because you can "eat your mistakes" easier. But it is nice to see that baseball is a team game and just throwing a bunch of high-priced players on a team doesn't guarantee winning. Coaching and clubhouse vibes are still important.

Can't complain about the top or bottom of the NL Central either...

I think the assumption is that Truong will improve to be 80/90 OPS+. That isn't an unreasonable improvement

I'm not impressed... we gave up runs today... How SWEEP it is!

OK, that is a bad call...

The coach's ejection early set the stage for it... cry loud enough and get your way

Given the height, it seems like that should've been caught easy. Hard to say what the wind was really doing... or just the LFer.

Looked like a zoo to me (whatever that means...)

While our offense has been frustrating... our defense just continues to impress.

The LEAD! Good job Monk!

The reason you hit the cut-off man. That throw home was almost as high as Yellich's HR.

I actually like Skyline Chili! But chili it isn't....

Woody woul'dve had a homer... We should complain about Winker more often. 😉

Woodruff!
