    Once had some big hopes tied to this fireballer ...

    gotta love the double-whammy days! First, for #34, we have very short-time Brewer and long-time Hollywood producer Mark Ciardi And for #33, my namesake, and a player given the affectionate nickname "The True Creature" by the great Pete Rose.

    #35 is reserved for Narcisco Elvira. The ultimate flash in the pan, despite his standing as a Top 50 MlB prospect, Elvira only pitched 5 innings in his MLB career, all in 1990 as a 22 year old Milwaukee Brewer. He pitched professionally for 22 years, bouncing between the Mexican League, Japan and Korea. Elvira's fame in Mexico made him a target for gangs. He survived a kidnapping in 2015 where he was held for ransom for 23 days. He was ultimately shot and killed (along with his 20-year-old son) in 2020 in what was likely a gang-related incident.

    It appears that the low mark is a prediction of 78 wins by @True Blue Brew Crew. Need only three more wins to surpass that! ;) I'm actually pretty impressed with the overall optimism in that thread. I think we've gotten to the point where most expect that, even in a "down" year, this team will remain competitive. And let me tell you, after living through those teams of the 90s and 00s, that is one heck of a good feeling.

    With 76 wins, I was wondering if the team has already surpassed any totals from the preseason prediction thread, but I can't seem to track that thread down. At this point, with 42 to go, they'd need to go 24-18 to win 100, which seems quite possible at this point, if not probable

    #36 can be no one other than The Mechanic:
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Way worse, actually. Calling out Pawol on what was a pretty average scorecard is a poor look.
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Guessing Miz
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    This is definitely not the offense of yore, which on the regular would put up a crooked number in one inning, then hope to hang on.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Reynolds has always been kryponite for this team.

    That seems a little dramatic. He looked good in his first outing a few days ago, and was pretty lights out for the Diamondbacks. Are you really going to judge a reliever on one rough outing?
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I will be quite pleased when Bryan Reynolds is one day wearing a different uniform.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Can this team possibly maintain this level of play into September/October?
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Small ball, team speed, good fundamentals. This team is about as anti-Doug Melvin as it gets.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Now I get to use my Eric Plunk pic! And one Ruben Quevedo (RIP)
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    My bad ... I thought Eric Plunk wore #39, but he was, in fact, #38. Hence the pivot to Cappy.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The One True Ace!
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Apparently this latest winning streak finally did him in.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Was off the grid this weekend, so I missed a few numbers. Nice to see the number continue to fall every day, though! For #40, we have none other than Ben Hendrickson ... whose very own father was once a semi-regular poster here. Until Ben started faltering, which caused him to go full-on Daddy-Bear.

    Really good comparison. Molitor had a great season with the bat, and Listach came out of nowhere to be a star after Spiers went down early. Otherwise it was a bunch of guys who knew their roles and played them very well. Greg Vaughn led the teams with only 23 HRs, and Molitor was the only one with an OPS over .800. But everyone on that team stole bases. It was a smart, veteran team with guys like Kevin Seitzer and Scotty Fletcher complementing Yount, Molitor and Gumby. The pitching was just phenomenal. The four main starters all stayed healthy all year, but they struggled to find a solid 5th after Ron Robinson got hurt (messing with Bruce Ruffin and Dan Plesac serving as openers way before the fad took off). Then Cal Eldred showed up in the second half and was basically unhittable. The pen was also lights out with the aforementioned Henry, Holmes and Fetters, along with Jesse Orosco and James Austin, who came out of absolute nowhere to be a shutdown late-inning guy, only to wash out a year later. That pennant race with the Blue Jays was must-see TV.

    I get that. But for all intents and purposes, I'm focusing on the division crown.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I like to choose more obscure players, but I thought this one was fitting for #45
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'll maintain that the Brewers gave up on Lauer too early.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    With a 4-game lead (and counting) and the hottest team in the majors, I feel fully confident that it is once again appropriate to start up a new 2025 version of the Magic Number Thread. And to kick off this year's edition, we have none other that St. Jerry!
