You can do it with MLB.tv. I watch the games with the Brewers Radio Network audio synced up every night, it rocks!

Another tough night overall, but.... Elvis Peguero sure is a nice add to the pen. He's got some filthy, late-inning stuff and when commanding it well with confidence, he is electric.

I just wanted the Brewers to draft him for the potential future jersey purchase.

Heck of a play by Tovar, wow

12-15

Looking forward to seeing Trout and Ohtani in person tonight... although I have attended 4 straight losses.

Impressive start for Carlos! 5 IP (95 pitches), 3 Hits, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 Ks The changeup was lethal tonight.

Rodriguez has battled his command just a little bit in the early going, but he's been able to put guys away when he needs to. Looking nasty for the most part, especially the changeup. 4 K's through 2 scoreless innings.

That's a great tip, going to have to check that out this weekend!

I mean, is there really anything wrong with that statement? You need pro sports to have an identity? It really sucks for A's fans, but also good on Oakland for not bending over and taking it from the billionaire owners trying to squeeze as much public money as they can out of the city.

He's washed up and seems like he could be a clubhouse cancer. Pass.

I didn't say that McIntosh would be making decisions based on the outcome of one NIT game. "The fact that this team didn't show a lick of progress the entire season is enough of a reason to can GG." <- this was my reasoning. In fact, not only did they not show progress, I'd say that they regressed over the course of the season. But if you want did want to claim that there was actually some positive growth this season after a couple of NIT games, then I think in that case it would be fair to base a decision on the outcome of a single, dreadful NIT game. 9+ minute scoring drought, 13 point 2nd Half, no adjustments, just a complete embarrassment but one that we've gotten incredibly used to this season.

The timeout by Gard when we had a 5 on 4 advantage and ~6 seconds left was inexcusable, imo. What a putrid, embarrassing 2nd half. The fact that this team didn't show a lick of progress the entire season is enough of a reason to can GG. I've been a Gard defender, but if Chris McIntosh wants to work his magic here again I am completely, 100% on board now.

Old friend Weston Wilson is off to a good start with the Phillies org, crushing a 3-2 slider to left for a 2-run homer.

If you're living on or staying near the East Side, Jack's American Pub on Brady St. is (as far as I know) the only game in town for shuttles to the stadium. Not my favorite spot personally, but the shuttle is a very useful option.

Matt F. Arnold!

We'll see how this plays out of course, but on paper I feel like this is a pretty great move for the Brewers. If Winker is healthy, having him in your lineup at AmFam in a contract year could be pretty savvy. Toro is a guy I've had my eye on for awhile now. He hasn't found success at the big league level quite yet, but he's only 25 years old. A switch-hitting utility guy (his floor) is still valuable, especially for a team like the Brewers that likes to platoon and rotate players often. We've got 4 years of team control for him as he enters his prime years. This is the exactly the type of move the Brewers need to take chances on. On top of all of that, there's also now a bit more of a path for Brice Turang to establish himself in the big leagues this season.

Season opener tonight vs. South Dakota. Excited to see the post-Johnny era get underway, if the big 3 of Hepburn, Wahl and Crowl stay healthy they will surprise some folks in the B1G once again.

The prospects I'm naming are really just starting points, as none of us truly have a clue how GMs value anyone and this is purely for fun. My point is that the Brewers should make some more aggressive moves this offseason and be willing to part with some valued prospects to do it. Murphy is a great defensive catcher with a consistently improving, above-average bat (on a bad team no less), entering his prime and controlled for 3 more years. I'm high on Quero too but I don't see the org entrusting catching duties to a ~22 year old in 2024, we'll see though. Either way, if he's knocking on the door and they believe he's ready to start then, you can always trade Murphy for his last year or two.

With Matt Arnold taking over Baseball Ops, I'm very interested to see the direction he takes with all of the arbitration eligible players. 2 years left with Burnes and Woody, so I'd really like to take a slightly larger bite of the apple next season... Red Sox/Devers seem to be pretty far apart on extension negotiations, I'd try to pry him away in a deal. Urias + prospects (E. Ruiz?/H. Perez?/Valerio? etc). Trade Frelick/Black/E. Garcia/Brown, Jr. to OAK for Sean Murphy. Try to extend Burnes and Woody, hope to keep one of them, and assess after the 2023 season. Make any trades then, unless we're way out of it by the deadline next season. Slightly over budget, but now's the time.

That was a fun win. Liked what I saw from Jevon, thought Grayson played ok and Lopez was great. Giannis is obviously Giannis. Jrue's defense as usual, was just excellent. What a putrid offensive performance though, he'll have to improve that. Bobby struggled as well. I think Joel Embiid is the most overrated player in the NBA, and he really showed why last night. He was abysmal.

Trade Houser, Ruiz, and Small to Tampa Bay for Yandy Diaz and Shawn Armstrong. Yandy to 1B vs. LHP and 3B/DH otherwise. Move Urias to 2B, but he will still play a good amount at 3B (especially days where Rowdy sits and Yandy moves to 1B or DH). Turang is listed at Utility, but he will get lots of AB's at 2B, and at SS on days where Willy sits or gets a DH day. Love Willy's enthusiasm to play every day, but it might be helpful to mix in a few more off days for him next season. I have Frelick listed as the 4th OF, but he will play lots of LF and CF. May end up being the everyday LF before too long. Wiemer is waiting in the wings in AAA as some right-handed thump in case of injury or under-performance by Taylor/Renfroe. Sign Tucker Barnhart to a 1 year/$4.00m contract. He's coming off a rough offensive year with Detroit where his ISO really nosedived, but that team around him was also dreadful. Solid defensive catcher, and a switch hitter with some history of having a decent bat. Would expect some sort of bounceback year from him. Sign Sean Doolittle to a 1 year/$1.5 mil deal, which is what he took last year with Washington before his injury. He wants to return to the Nats next year, but we'll see what happens there. If he's able to stay healthy he'd be a nice higher-leverage LHP option than Milner. Sign Tommy Kahnle to a 1 year/$3.5 mil deal. Another guy coming off of a lengthy injury. Pitched very limited innings for LA late in the season and looked sharp aside from his Game 4 outing. Nasty changeup. 6.31% under budget.
