"I've endured the first two months of 2025 Brewers (and their entire off-season) Sarcasm alert":
Ahhhh, yes. Seeing how they are handling this current run of brilliance from Henderson makes their outright gifting of RHP Shane Smith to the White Sox make all the more sense. Let's hold on tight to Alexander so we can use his impact innings in more high leverage spots; burn another Option on Hendo; lose his uber-productive arm for 15 days...and all the while we can watch Murphy fumble through bullpen decisions and usage like a Freshman High School coach. This season continues to baffle in immeasurable ways. Thankfully, we have Mona's bat boosting us from that nine-hole while we get his stellar defense back at SS today. In one off-season, the Brewers have morphed into a very unserious organization. In terms of entertainment and baseball joy value, it's depressing.
There's over-reaction in there. There is very much also painful truth in there. And, it is precisely these types of transactions and manipulations that tell me the Brewers are still likely thinking they can just turn their season around...maybe if we just overpay for a couple of borderline vets! Eeeeeek! I continue to think I am mostly at odds with Matt Arnold and his inner circle of MLB roster decision-makers in 2025 and I do not like it one bit. I am SO ready and willing to be wrong.
