  1. Depends on if they see the team as a contender, or decide to tear it down. If they still see a quality team, I could see them going for someone like Gabe Kapler. Kinda robotic as a manager, but the guy preps like no one else, and was Manager of the year in 2021.
  2. The ship has sailed. Probably time to move on.
  3. Well, knock me over with a feather!
  4. Technically Joey isn't in the lineup. He's simply on the roster. Likely to serve as a pinch runner and/or defensive replacement late in games. If he starts any games this postseason I will be very surprised.
  5. This team won 92 games this year. Yet there are Debbie Downers in the Optimism Thread (the one thread where that type of attitude is kinda off limits)? Sheesh.
  6. Jeffrey Leonard Day is always the greatest day of the Magic Number Thread!
  7. We have reached Fernando-mania!
  8. I prefer Jeffrey Leonard or Franklin Stubbs in this scenario LOL
  9. The Brewers getting scorching hot over the last two weeks while the Cubs have gone ice cold has certainly been a nice bonus.
  10. I realize that he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I always appreciated the energy and moxie that Nyjer Morgan brought to the Brewers.
  11. Gettin' close now! Fly the Yuni B!
  12. It's been a little bit, but Houser has proven to be a very good bullpen arm if needed there. Yes, that salary would be expensive for a swing man, but not for a late-inning arm.
  13. Nice afternoon baseball action with the Brewers inching closer to the doorstep of a division title, with the conclusion of the Cubs/Pirates series coming up tonight. This is what September baseball is all about. The Brewers getting incredibly hot in September is definitely a trend that I'm here for.
  14. Agreed wholeheartedly. Solid seasons from Miley and Houser, along with depth signings like Rea working out are a huge reason why this team is likely going to break the 90-win barrier this year. Don't mess with a good thing to save a few pennies.
  15. First, Wisconsin's own J.P. Feyereisen: Then Jedd Gyorko, who had an excellent 2020 COVID season, otherwise known as the season that time forgot: Finally, Tim Johnson, who was #4 before Molitor. Johnson has a pretty interesting story in his own right. He was hired as manager of the Blue Jays in 1998, and went on to win 88 games, only to get embroiled in a scandal concerning lies he told his team concerning his combat service in Vietnam. He never held another MLB job after that.
  16. Apparently Pat Listach wore #4 in 1996 for some reason. I can find no visual record of this, though. But it apparently did happen.
  17. Hiring Bando was basically one of the last things Selig did as Brewers owner before he became acting commissioner. Granted many believe that Bud was still pulling the strings, at least early on, but as Bud's family took over more operation of the club, the downfall escalated. Bando made a major blunder by not re-signing Paul Molitor, and that left a terrible taste in the mouths of a lot of fans. But he did oversee that 1992 team that was a lot of fun and was an eyelash away from winning the division. Phil Garner was a very good hire IMO.
  18. Regarding his time as GM, I always viewed him as a solid personnel guy whose hands were constantly tied by terrible, meddlesome ownership.
  19. Not real sure why, but I always really liked Keith Ginter. Maybe its because he was a bright spot on some pretty bad teams.
  20. Even the over-the-hill version of Cirillo who wore this number was still a solid player.
  21. Psst ... don't say the quiet part out loud ;)
  22. Even with a Brewers loss today, the magic number continues to go down, meaning we get this sweet Mark Reynolds pic. Mark wasn't good at much, but he could definitely hit dingers. Thanks for continuing to crap the bed, Cubs! And to think ... there were a few ready to hand them the division a couple weeks ago.
