I simply don’t understand Murph’s bullpen choices … win or lose, his decisions with our pitching staff confuse & frustrate me like no manager I can remember

I hope Murph saves Uribe for tomorrow Surely Grant Anderson can get three outs before giving up six runs

This is fun again … Brewers playing extremely well for the last several weeks

How about that left side of the Brewers infield

I’m so glad Murphy stayed with Joey O! He deserved a game like tonight.

Durbin may fool around & be a capable big league player after all.

Joey Ortiz has had a challenging season thus far. Here’s hoping he has a great second half of the year. He’s been much improved recently.

Sorry - I didn’t see the other thread. Happy for a moderator to merge the two. I saw a post on X by Jack Stern saying Wilken was getting a second opinion after receiving a dislocated patella diagnosis. https://x.com/byjackstern/status/1937269926873452955?s=58

I so want Joey Ortiz to win the game in a walk off

Time for a rally to win this game

I think I will watch war coverage on a news network & check the score I have very little patience with losing to such an awful team Once again - as was true yesterday - I don’t like Murphy’s pitching changes

Oops … Turang is hitting.276 … Yelich at .264

I believe he is only behind Frelick in batting average after being at .184 just a few weeks ago. Incredible.

Yelich with a Carlton Fisk HR to tie the game up ⚾️💪🙌👏

Mitchell could have been our version of Bryan Reynolds … but sadly - he can’t get on the field due to a variety of injuries … quite sad

I like the nickname

I’m trying so hard to get excited about this Brewers team & believe that they could turn their season around … & then Pittsburgh - the ultimate bottom of the barrel MLB team - comes into our house & spanks us good to start the series. I know it’s early, but it’s time to rally or punt. I don’t want to waste my time watching us lose to this pathetic team.

Initial diagnosis - a dislocated patella, also known as a dislocated kneecap, occurs when the kneecap (patella) slips out of its normal groove on the front of the knee joint. This can happen due to a direct blow to the knee, a sudden change in direction while the foot is planted, or even from underlying conditions like weak leg muscles or a misaligned kneecap. Symptoms: Swelling and stiffness: The knee may swell quickly and become difficult to bend or straighten. Visible deformity: The kneecap may appear to be out of place, often shifted to the outer side of the knee. Popping or clicking sensation: Some individuals may hear or feel a popping or clicking sound when the kneecap dislocates. Instability or buckling: The knee may feel unstable or give way, especially when bearing weight. Sudden, severe pain: Pain is typically felt in the front of the knee and can worsen with movement. Treatment: Immediate medical attention: A dislocated kneecap should be treated by a healthcare professional. Do not attempt to relocate the kneecap yourself. Reduction: A doctor or other trained professional can manually relocate the kneecap (reduction). Immobilization: The knee is often immobilized with a brace or splint to allow healing. Pain management: Pain medication and anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed. Physical therapy: Rehabilitation exercises are crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and stability in the knee. Surgery: In some cases, particularly with recurrent dislocations or significant damage to the knee structures, surgery may be necessary to repair torn ligaments or stabilize the kneecap. Recovery: Initial recovery: Walking with crutches may be necessary initially, and it can take several weeks to fully recover. Long-term: It can take 6-8 weeks to fully recover, and some individuals may experience ongoing instability or pain, especially if the injury was severe or if there were prior issues. Preventing future dislocations: Strengthening the muscles around the knee, especially the quadriceps, and addressing any underlying anatomical issues can help prevent future dislocations.

I’m ready to see Perkins added to the roster in place of Cameron. Neither is a great offensive player but Perkins adds late inning defense & is a capable switch-hitter like Collins. I believe he immediately upgrades the bottom of the roster & he can potentially offer a day of rest once or twice a week to a tired or slumping starting OF.

Have there been any details given on Brock Wilken & his knee injury?

I can’t watch anymore This team has been playing well - including earlier today - but is not good enough to be overconfident & assume they have won before recording the 27th out I will check the score later & hope we hang on This is embarrassing baseball

We should not have to use our best relief pitchers in a game we led 9-3

Fun Fact: The Oak Ridge Boys bass singer (Richard Sterban) is a huge Brewers fan. He was a part owner of the Nashville Sounds years ago when Milwaukee was first affiliated with Nashville.

Well played! 👏
