I so prefer Murphy’s personality to Schildt’s

Freddy is locked in … great rebound from a messy first inning … nice to see

I hope Lockridge makes the postseason roster instead of Hoskins

unpopular opinion … getting drunk, hammered, trashed is childish, immature, teenage behavior. Responsible adult men shouldn’t waste their time on such childish behavior. There are other ways to celebrate & enjoy winning the division.

Ortiz’s defense somewhat covers his poor offensive performance. I’m far more concerned with our pitching - both starters & relievers - due to injuries.

Not so much with Ortiz … 5 for 30 this year with bases loaded

I don’t trust Freddy to be our game one starter in the playoffs. He has had a great season no doubt … but he can be wild & inconsistent. We’ve had an incredible year but all the recent pitching injuries have me concerned that we will experience another early exit from the playoffs. Hope I’m wrong, but I anticipate more heartbreak. I don’t feel nearly as confident with Freddy as I have in recent years with Burnes & a healthy Woodruff.

I feel that way about Willson Contreras & Molina (retired)

Looking ahead to 2026 … Any chance Yelich finally learns to play first base so he can be the LH option for that position & allow others to bat in the DH role too? His back has held up well. It seems like a good time for him to learn the position. If Monasterio can effectively play there, why not Yelich?

Sadly, based on this information, I agree … assuming he has a “moderate” lat strain

… pip?

Sorry … basic math for Brewers fans who follow this team closely & care about such things as their magic number 😏

Understanding a Moderate Lat Strain in Baseball A latissimus dorsi (lat) strain is a common overuse injury in baseball, often affecting pitchers or hitters due to repetitive overhead throwing or swinging motions. “Moderate” typically refers to a grade 2 strain on the medical grading scale (grade 1: mild, grade 2: partial tear with noticeable weakness and pain, grade 3: full rupture). Recovery depends on factors like age, overall health, rehab adherence, and whether surgery is needed (rare for moderate cases). Typical Recovery Time For a moderate lat strain, expect 4-8 weeks of recovery before returning to full baseball activities. This breaks down as: • Initial rest and pain management: 1-2 weeks of immobilization, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling. • Rehabilitation phase: 3-6 weeks of progressive physical therapy focusing on restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion. This includes gentle stretching, isometric exercises, and sport-specific drills (e.g., light throwing). • Return to play: Gradual ramp-up in the final 1-2 weeks, with clearance from a sports medicine specialist to avoid re-injury. Evidence and Sources • According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine (studies on MLB pitchers), moderate lat strains average 42-56 days on the injured list, aligning with 4-8 weeks for non-surgical cases. • Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic guidelines for muscle strains confirm grade 2 recovery in 4-6 weeks with proper rehab, though baseball’s high-velocity demands can extend it to 8 weeks. • MLB team protocols (e.g., via Driveline Baseball resources) emphasize individualized timelines, with 70-80% of players returning fully within 6 weeks if rehab starts early. Tips for Recovery • Consult a physician for an MRI to confirm severity. • Avoid rushing back—re-injury risk is high without full strength. • Incorporate preventive exercises like lat stretches and core work post-recovery. If symptoms persist beyond 8 weeks or worsen, seek immediate medical evaluation.

Remind him of what a great in-game manager we have … maybe he will be in awe & give us a few calls

Not sure he will make the playoff roster Good guy … better players available

Not your buddy

The Brewers have the best record in baseball

Whatever … I mostly like your posts, but you’re just being an a#*

Basic math … no website needed

We both know better … not funny at all

Music to my ears

I agree with where you have Misiorowski slotted

Duplicate

I understand … but that someone is not Miz … in my opinion based on his recent outings
