  1. My handle “39 Streak” is for Molitor. That streak is what hooked me as a Crew fan and Molitor will always be my favorite. It was a great interview. At the time he left, he had played back to back all-star seasons at 158 games. He was in his prime. I never had animosity toward him. Brewers offer was an insult. He deserved better.
  2. Tim Kurkjian has us 5th since the beginning of the Divisional Era (1969). He has 1998 Yankees, 1976 Reds, 1989 A’s and 1970 Orioles ahead of us. I agree with him. 103 wins, take out the hottest team in baseball (Padres) in a 3-1 display, sweeping the two time defending champs and season long Vegas favorite (LA), before going up 3-0 on the best of the AL before settling for the gentleman’s sweep in Tampa. I agree with Tim.
  3. I was firmly in the “play out arby” and make the QO before the WS. As someone who consumes so much Brewers content, I think I became a bit immune to many of the intangibles. I am now in the Yadi deal camp. This guy is our guy. There’s a five year window on returning Pitching alone. I want this guy to handle them. In his prime for 3 to 4 more years before some increase in DH, etc. I just want him around not for sentimental reasons, but for being the coach on the field with our blossoming pitching staff.
  4. I’ll say what I keep saying to everyone: 103 win team that took out the hottest team, the two time defending champs and Vegas season long favorites, and then the top AL team. There is one word to explain that run: MANDATE!
  5. First candidate for rotation? How about Ashby? Injuries took him down. He’s clearly back with a starters mix of pitches. He’s a huge weapon in the pen. But could be TOR. 1. Miz 2. Ashby 3. Henderson 4. Gasser 5. Priester 6. Harrison Pen: Megill Uribe Hall (2 inning guy) Patrick (2 inning guy) Drohan (2 inning guy) Romero! (Would love to have him back) Final pen spot is rotation of guys with options like Gordon, Anderson, Crow, Sproat
  6. JoJo Romero = we won the trade! Guy was a key cog to win this thing! So grateful!
  7. Pen for tomorrow looks like Ashby (I never count him out), Megill (Uribe role), Romero, Harrison, and Woody. Not ideal. Need a deep game from Miz.
  8. Hard to tell what will happen here. If the salary floor is a reality, it could drive his value up with a lot of other teams. But also, here. Mid-season, I was thinking 2 years, $25M to $30M might have a chance retain him. I don’t think that will be close. My guess is 5 years at over $100M. Won’t be totally giant as he’s only done this for one season in his 30 YO year. But! His progression began late last summer. So he sustained it over the off-season into this season. Really happy for Jake and would love to see him on a 3 to 4 year deal in MKE and just move on from Vaughn at this point.
  9. In honor of this (probably true) statement, I want to ask everyone which is their favorite PCA moment: Exhibit 1: https://www.mlb.com/brewers/video/jackson-chourio-homers-off-a-101-4-mph-fastball Exhibit 2: https://www.mlb.com/brewers/video/edward-cabrera-in-play-run-s-to-david-hamilton
  10. Every friend I could talk to about the Packers off-season out East where I live heard the same thing from me: time to move on from LaFluer. He sucks.
  11. Bob Gasser, ladies and gentlemen, your #3 starter for the playoffs.
  12. Up close, wearing this hat. SOOOOOOO sick of people thinking it’s a FMichigan hat. Ohio State guys got after me saying O-H…. PNC Park is incredible.
  13. I am grateful for the ownership group! Made this place a winner!
  14. Hats off to Kyle Harrison! Great 2/3 of a season. We are not staring down 100 wins without him. Really grateful for so many great days with him on the mound.
  15. Terrible confluence of NIL, open transferring, and hiring a guy who thinks UW football should play like Alabama. What once was my sports priority in life is dead to me. And I was at Lambeau last week simply for the novelty of it. So grateful for the Brewers!
  16. Worth its own thread: there is no way in hell you trade Wild Bill going into his contract year. Yes, I understand and embrace how MKE maximizes talent. But this is a contender, with a contending staff next year. Bill needs to be here to manage that staff.
  17. The only reason to play Bunty at this point is occasional days off for Pratt or Ortiz.
  18. Good catch. That pitching staff isn’t going on the road to Philly and winning 2.
  19. That pitching staff isn’t winning a 5 game series with Philly.
  20. Optimism! I am always bullish on the Brewers because I am a homer fan. But this year is different. Last year, pitching was on fumes. Five inning Freddy (who I loved) was the ace. Today he’d be third or fourth. There are two guys at the top who are fantastic in Mis and Henderson. Then, I am not writing Harrison off yet, but really Gasser is pitching like a #3. Murph took a shot across the bow, but other than that low point, he’s been pretty good for months now. May/Harrison as a one two punch in the 4 a lot would be tough! Throw in a deep bullpen of guys who can go 2+ innings in Chad Pat, Drohan, Ashby, etc. back end looking good too. Megill is better than a year ago. So is Uribe. Pitching is much better. Chourio is healthy and on a bender. He’s a big moment guy. Love Ortiz/Pratt now. Turang is as good or better. Bauers is much better - guy really turned a corner last September in Pittsburgh. Mitchell, Lara, and Frelick are better manning RF and CF. Wild Bill is coming on. And finally: Yelich is really showing signs of life. Didn’t even mention Vaughn yet. There are options if Yeli can’t keep this going. Chourio LF Turang 2B Contraras C Bauers RF Yelich DH (or Vaughn) Lara RF Mitchell CF Ortiz 3B Pratt SS Only real adjustment is Vaughn 1B, Bauers RF. Or if Yeli struggles, Vaughn at DH. Options throughout LFG!!!!!
  21. Transactions: Sproat out. Crow in for a spot start. Then Stallings or Gordon. Sproat is going to have to have a big off-season. Miz, Hendo, Harrison, Gasser, Priester. Drohan are all in front of Sproat. And I would not be surprised at a vet like May coming in.
