Tanner Gordon was originally slated to start tonight for Colorado but he was placed on the injured list yesterday. Rockies are TBD, so far. Jacob Misiorowski gets the ball for Milwaukee. The Miz makes his first start in June after being the second best pitcher in the National League last month 🙂 Drohan is tomorrow’s announced starter. Gasser starts Tuesday in Las Vegas.

Late September 🙂

The Brewer Fanatic community takes nothing for granted during the regular season, but already, our attention is moving toward the August trade deadline, September workloads and strategizing for the postseason. Come join the discussions in three of the best forum thread topics from the past week. Brewers: Young pitching...innings pitched...September and October Milwaukee's starting rotation has been anchored by a pair of 24-year-old phenoms in Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison. The potential problem is that neither has thrown a full season's worth of innings at the major league level. Misiorowski is presently on pace for nearly 200 innings pitched after completing 141.1 IP last year, including time in Nashville. Harrison is trending toward 150 innings compared to 112 IP in 2025 and spent most of the season in Triple-A. A deep playoff run could add 20 additional high-leverage innings, too. What should the Brewers do to balance regular-season competitiveness with postseason readiness? Milwaukee is currently tied in the loss column with Los Angeles and earning a first-round bye would be a huge advantage. At the same time, the Brewers seemed exhausted by the time they faced the Dodgers last year. Naturally, the Dodgers are expecting veteran pitchers Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell to return later this season to reinforce an already strong rotation. It would be disappointing for Milwaukee's young stars to fade when Los Angeles is again peaking. Brewers: A discussion on trading starting pitchers with a year of control remaining Brewers fans understand the formula of trading away top starting pitchers before free agency in order to gain six years of affordable control from younger prospects. The Brewer Fanatic community largely agrees that the trade of Corbin Burnes for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall could be fine. Would keeping Burnes for the 2024 playoff run have made a meaningful difference? The game one loss to the Mets had Freddy Peralta allow three earned runs over four innings. For Baltimore, Burnes allowed just one earned run over eight innings for his lone 2024 playoff start. The Peralta trade evaluation is less clear. Brandon Sproat has flashed enormous potential but does not yet have results to show for it. Jett Williams is heating up in Nashville, but that does not help the infield or outfield holes in Milwaukee. Peralta has performed around his career averages this season. Freddy will provide 170 reliable regular-season innings but there is little evidence that would suggest he would dominate an opponent in October. At what point does Milwaukee's strategy move from acquiring organizational depth to utilizing our prospects to win now? Or, at the very least, keep the starting pitchers we already have for one more run at a championship? The long run will someday be long enough. Rumors: Tarik Skubal Remember when the Brewers traded for CC Sabathia and Zach Greinke? Wouldn't it be fun if Milwaukee acquired a healthy Tarik Skubal? Except this time, instead of reinforcing a playoff rotation of Dave Bush and Jeff Suppan or Randy Wolf and Shaun Marcum, the Brewers add an ace to support Misiorowski and Harrison? The Brewer Fanatic community knows the value of our prospects as well as anyone. At the same time, if Matt Arnold has the ability to rent Tarik Skubal without trading Jesús Made or Luis Peña, should he do it? Doug Melvin would. That doesn't automatically make it the right move for the organization now or for the future, though. It's a great day to be a Brewers fan on Brewer Fanatic! View full article

Was it the offense that let us down this series?

We have not been able to say Coleman Crow’s arm is strong, until this year. I’ll see myself out.

Remember Adrian Houser? He will make $ 18 million over the next two seasons. On top of that, he has been meaningfully below replacement level in four of the last seven seasons, including this one. Today is Houser's first appearance against Milwaukee. Fittingly, Coleman Crow is who the Brewers received from the Mets in exchange for Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Houser. Crow will earn less than $2 million over the next two seasons. Plus, Crow will likely be better than Houser this year and next at 10% of the cost.

We will never know what a 1999 trade of Mark Loretta could have brought back. 🙂 Maybe Calvin Pickering from Baltimore or Luke Prokopec from the Dodgers? Instead, we later received Wayne Franklin and Keith Ginter from the Astros.

April 16, 1990 Brewers defeated the Red Sox 18-0. Milwaukee had 20 hits and zero HR.

Milwaukee hasn’t seemed to blow up the roster due to Individual performance issues in recent years. I doubt 25% of the roster is dismissed or demoted with how well the season has gone.

I feel like we have been very patient with Rob Z. Will he still be healthy next month?

Sanchez has 18.4% walk rate this season and that has mostly held in May. Sanchez walks twice as often as Contreras. 🤷‍♂️

One off speed pitch, so far

.931 OPS through April .464 OPS in May .210 BABIP this year 0.3 bWAR this season

Forgot about Josh Hader. I guess he returns this week.

I think Lara could be a switch hitting version of what we wish 5’9” Frelick would be.

8th by OPS 13th by bWAR

We need a needle mover at third base 🙂

If the season ended today, St Louis at Milwaukee for wild card round. Cubs out of the playoffs. source

Fair point. Who on the 40 man should take those two spots? Or should we just use Rodriguez and Woodford?

6 IP and 1 ER from Rodriguez this year, very low leverage. I agree that we should give him a shot today.

Anderson could probably throw an inning. Not a lot of optimism for the leverage arm availability today, though.
