    "No reason to go crazy" ... but you're going to follow it up with a completely hyperbolic statement ripping on the hottest team in baseball. Got it.
  2. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Those are the antagonists who tend to crap on every move the Brewers make. They probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. I will admit that I wasn't super excited about the Canha acquisition. It was a need-filler move. But he's exceeded even the loftiest expectations ... to the point where he is looking like the best deadline move any team had.

    Can't forget the most famous #8 in Brewers history ... Nellie Cruz!

    The Brewers certainly had a habit of cycling through once very good, but now over-the-hill catchers in the 90s and 2000s. Here's Joe Oliver!

    Gotta love those nights when the magic number decreases by two. Seems like there has been quite a few of those the last week. Cubs are really scuffling now.
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yep ... being too quick on my Google search doomed me. Not many solid Brewers pics of Stairs out there ... although he did have a good single season (.827 OPS in 315 ABs) for the team.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Wisconsin's own Vinny Rottino ...
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Nomo Mania made its way to Milwaukee for one season. It was pretty cool seeing him pitch for the Brewers. He was pretty solid too.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    D'oh! I thought he looked a little svelte in the photo. Vogt is a solid choice for #12 as well though. Here's a Stairs pic:

    Matt Stairs gave hope to dudes with dad bods that they, too, could realize their MLB dreams ... what's funny is that I thought Stairs was pretty much done after his year with the Brewers at age 34, but he kicked around MLB for 10 more years (and had some very productive seasons) after his 1-year stint in Milwaukee.

    Hope that Garrett Mitchell can knock off the rust quickly.

    After getting scorching hot a few weeks ago, the Cubs have definitely come back to earth and are scuffling a bit now. Still, the faster the Brewers can put them away, the better. Having a 4 game lead with 17 to play is a very solid position to be in, but they certainly aren't out of the woods quite yet. Just keep winning each series, and the numbers will take care of themselves in hopefully about a week to 10 days.

    Estuary's time was very short with the Brewers, but he was involved in two very large and somewhat controversial transactions ... first being acquired in the Hader deal, then being the main component going out in the highway robbery of William Contreras. He's gonna hold a pretty big spot in Brewers history for a guy who only got 9 plate appearances as a Brewer. My pick for #13 is a pitcher who I thought would team with Cal Eldred to give the Brewers one of the top rotations in the majors for a decade. Alas, injuries ruined Jeff D'Amico's once very promising career.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Because I used to love when very good MLB players ended their careers with the Brewers (after their skills had eroded), I present ... Jim Edmonds (#15) and Charlie Hayes (#14)
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Do they dare offer Carlos Santana a inexpensive one-year deal? He hasn't been a superstar since being acquired, but has been pretty solid with the bat after starting out ice cold, and is still a very good defensive 1B. But he'll be 38 next year, and his numbers have demonstrably dropped off the last couple seasons.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The Brewers' top 3 of Burnes, Woody and Freddy might be the best top 3 in baseball right now.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I've kept my mouth shut about the tons of articles cluttering up the forum. But this one in particular is nonsense. We have reached the point of TOO MANY ARTICLES. This is just bad.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The 1992 Brewers were full of quality veteran bats like Yount, Molitor, Gumby, Hamilton, Surhoff, Scotty Fletcher and Kevin Seitzer, but this young nondescript prospect came out of nowhere to take over for an injured Bill Spiers at SS, and proceeded to hit .290 and steal 54 bags on his way to Rookie of the Year honors. 12-year-old me loved me some Pat Listach.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Agreed. Precisely 0 people called Chafin the crown jewel of the team's deadline moves in the trade thread. The facts said that he had been a veteran MLB relief arm who had been an above average if not elite non-closing RP for a long time. He didn't have those kind of numbers this year. The Brewers obviously hoped he'd be able to right the ship. It obviously hasn't worked out. The return on the deal, Strez, has pitched 1 1/3 innings total for the DBacks.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Right. 2nd veteran lefty to take the load off of Milner. Not sure where this "crown jewel" talk comes from, other than as a somewhat backhanded opportunity to take a swipe at the team's deadline moves. And with the way Santana and Canha have performed, that argument is pretty off-the-mark IMO.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Oh I love me some Gumby. He was the quintessential 2B during my formative years as a Brewer fan. I just dig random Brewers as well.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Gumby is too easy for #17. So Steve Bowling it is: Or Bobby Mitchell ...

    As we saw against the Pirates, there is legit concern with any matchup right now. On paper, the Brewers are the better team and "should" win this game. But they gotta show up.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Severino's ERA of nearly 7 is causing that much anxiety? Rea certainly isn't a world-beater, but he's kept the team in games for the most part.
