    Because it's baseball. It's a kids game.

    Gotta love those two-for mornings, as the Brewers knocked two crooked ones off the magic number with their win combined with the flailing Cardinals' loss. A commanding 8.5 game lead over the Cards and suddenly resurgent Reds, now tied at 60-61. The fat lady is far from singing, but she's getting warmed up. For #35, here is Narcisco Elvira ... a young lefty pitcher the Brewers pried out of the Mexican League in the late '80s, perhaps in an attempt to replicate their earlier success with Teddy Higuera. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, as despite having good stuff, Elvira struggled with his command and washed out at a relatively young age. He did go on to have a solid career pitching in Asia, though. Elvira made news later on after being kidnapped in his native Mexico and held for ransom for nearly a month in 2015. He was later killed in a shooting in 2020 (RIP). For #34, it's much tougher finding players, as the number is more-or-less retired in honor of Rollie Fingers. Unfortunately there are no good photos of one-time Brewers prospect and now famous Hollywood film producer Mark Ciardi. So lets go with JHJ.

    Lo Cain, Part I A big thank you to the Cardinals, Cubs and Pirates for also being terrible during this recent Brewers' mini-slide.

    I guess I'm missing the point of this argument. Are you crapping on the Brewers because they play in what you believe is a weak division? Because that really wasn't their choice. it isn't like the Brewers have just been getting fat by beating up on NL Central opponents.

    In honor of Freddy's very Jeff Suppan-like performance last night ... "Soup pitched great!"

    James Austin seeming came out of nowhere to put up a terrific 1.85 ERA in 47 games out of the Brewers' crazy-good 1992 pen, and followed it up with another solid partial season in 1993 before injuries derailed his promising career.

    We might have something in this Chourio kid ...

    I never figured out how he was so effective throwing a fastball the topped out in the low 80s by the time he was closing for the Brewers, but Doug Jones had an excellent tenure in Milwaukee. Plus he had a great old-school look. RIP Legend!

    It is that time of year, and there is no one better to kick things off than one of the greatest of all time.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't think you understand how this thread works.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Doesn't fit the narrative. If you are going to make an argument about the team being bad, you cherry pick a bad stretch to point to.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Brett Phillips is a great defensive CF who can't hit. He just signed with the Yankees as a pitcher. So no, those guys don't have a lot of value.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You literally called Wiemer a AAAA player two weeks ago. If that's all he is, he's the exact type of player you look to offload for rentals this time of year.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I would think a lefty-hitting OF would be the target without knowing how long Yelich will be on the shelf.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Norby AND Stowers. I mean, Rogers is a good get, especially with control beyond this year, but sheesh.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    If there is a silver lining here, it's that despite the mediocre numbers, Montas still brings it with a fastball averaging nearly 96 MPH. I think it is pretty obvious that the Brewers didn't just acquire him on a whim. They must see something that is fixable in-season to make them think he will provide a large amount of value to the rotation down the stretch.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Methinks your expectations may be a tad unrealistic. You simply cannot expect shutouts every time out. Considering the state the the team's pen today, and Wilson's success pitching with an opener versus as a traditional starter this season, the thought process was certainly sound.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Welp, with Yelich going back on the IL (with what appears to be an ominous tone), the roster crunch is shaking out a bit now. Mitchell, Frelick, Chourio, Perkins and perhaps Haase (39 career starts in LF) share the OF duties for the time being. Wiemer, Brewer Hicklen or Tyler Black perhaps get a look. We hope to see Yelich in September.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think they are thinking about what they've done with Hudson and Koenig, which is why they wouldn't give up a huge asset for Puk. Hudson and Koenig were basically free. This team has proven the can work magic with pitching ... especially relief pitching off the scrap heap. They aren't going to trade a high-end prospect for one.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Chafin had a MUCH larger and more distinguished track record.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Water is wet
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Define "younger". Ashby turned 26 roughly three weeks ago. He also looked very solid in his last spot start for the Brewers. Wouldn't be so quick to write him off quite yet.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    LOL ... even in a win, haters gonna hate
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't know if it is sad so much as very surprising that the team is in the competitive situation it is in while basically throwing a rotation of retreads, newbies and never-was'es.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I feel like the offense heating up, along with the (hopefully) imminent return of Yelich, may lead to an exciting stretch of baseball.
