I didn’t watch the play, but if it never touched his glove then it’s a hit.

Bunty!

If Cabrera goes on the disabled list, the Cubs rotation becomes: Shota, Taillon, Rea, Brown and Assad? Sounds like Cabrera only experienced a blister, though

PCA backwards K without swinging the bat once.

Bauers batting average approaching.300 and OPS near .900.

Hamilton has 0.5 bWAR entering today. Baseball Reference must think he’s doing something correct 🤷‍♂️

I learned today that both of PCA’s parents are professional actors.

What an interesting group of three pitchers to face Los Angeles 🙂

Murphy said Miz was tired after six innings, too. Opening comments from post game interview.

Post interview Murphy suggested Miz was tired after six innings.

Edward Cabrera started the season with 11.2 scoreless innings for Chicago. Since then, he has allowed three earned runs in 6 of his last 7 starts. The other start, he allowed five earned runs. Kyle Harrison has allowed a .323 BABIP this season, which is higher than his career average. Interestingly, Harrison has pitched better in his two starts with Sánchez behind the plate than the six with Contreras.

If we can’t trust Perkins against LHP, when can we trust him? Also, Perkins has 0.2 bWAR this season 🤷‍♂️

Ober seems like a pitcher who will either no hit the Brewers or allow eight runs. He seems like an outlier, especially by RHP standards. Kyle Hendricks usually gave us fits, I think.

Since 1970

Bailey Ober starts for Minnesota riding momentum from a complete game two-hitter against Miami. The right-handed soft-tosser commands six pitches including a "fastball" that averages just 88.6 mph. Ober faced Milwaukee twice in 2023, allowing two earned runs in each start. source Milwaukee goes with lefthander Robert Gasser, making his Brewers season debut and eighth career big league start. Gasser turns 27 this month and averaged 13.3 K/9 over six starts at Nashville this year.

25-year-old lefthander Connor Prielipp, a Tomah, Wisconsin native, takes the mound for Minnesota in his fifth career start. His numbers look solid on the surface, though a .196 BABIP suggests some good fortune. Logan Henderson makes his fourth start of the season. Henderson's 2.10 FIP is better than his 4.15 ERA to start the season.

The best way to maintain roster flexibility is to do nothing with the roster, thereby maintaining roster flexibility. 🙂

I assume we are slow playing our Aaron Ashby opener card. 🙂

The Brewers now turn their attention to the Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs as the community weighs in on three of the best thread topics from the past week. Brewers: What would it cost now to extend Miz? Jacob Misiorowski is the most electrifying pitcher in baseball, and the Brewer Fanatic community spent the week wrestling with an uncomfortable question: is there any realistic path to keeping him in Milwaukee beyond 2031? The thread opened with a 7-year, $150 million framework. The community quickly concluded it falls short, with the two buyout free agent years alone worth north of $50 million at current market rates. Posters noted that Misiorowski signed for $2.3 million out of the draft and has every incentive to bet on himself and reach free agency. There was substantive discussion around whether his injury risk is elevated beyond even a typical fireballing pitcher. Many posters agreed that the lower-dollar extensions provided to Freddy Peralta and Aaron Ashby worked precisely because the downside was manageable if injury struck, and a Miz deal at market rates carries a significantly different risk profile for a small-market club. In any case, Milwaukee is fortunate to have a "great, great, great young star" (according to Aaron Judge) for up to another five seasons. Brewers: 1/4 of the way analysis If the first quarter of the Brewers' season were a movie, the plot keeps changing, the stars are delivering award-winning performances, but the audience can't stop worrying about the supporting cast. There has been plenty of action, drama, and even horror. There is plenty to examine after 40 games. The most heated debate surrounded whether Garrett Mitchell has proven himself to be a mediocre 27-year-old after four partial seasons, or whether his 506 big-league at-bats essentially still make him a rookie. The offense has been a mystery, ranking dead last in home runs but third in all of baseball in runs scored per game. Would Luis Lara, Jett Williams, or even Eddys Leonard boost an unsettled Milwaukee outfield? The answers aren't straightforward, with options status, and even CBA lockout concerns all part of the conversation. Minors: 2026 Injury Updates - Answering Your Questions When Possible (ARobsBrewCrew Thread) Injuries have been an important part of the 2026 season, and Brewer Fanatic is fortunate to receive exclusive information from ARobsBrewCrew on how Milwaukee's minor league players are recovering. Our source invites the Brewer Fanatic community to "let me know what players you would like injury updates on, and I will do my best to deliver." ARobsBrewCrew most recently confirmed that Luis Pena is doing fine after his recent hospitalization. The Brewers are taking every precaution to determine if there is a deeper issue, prioritizing Pena's long-term health over his playing career. Pena recently posted photos in his Timber Rattlers uniform, hinting at a possible return in the near future. It's a great day to be a Brewers fan at Brewer Fanatic! View full article
