    Yup. That's the third mound visit this frame. Let's see who the Shuckers plan to come aboard to try to put out this fire. RHP Travis Smith it is. Smith has been much improved of late. They'll need that version here.

    AND, he walked the next batter. I have to think that is it for Torres. Men on first and second. Two down. Shuckers clinging to a 5-3 lead.

    5-3 Shuckers lead. Wande Torres just gave up a two out two-run single up the middle. After allowing the first two batters aboard in the 7th inning (his second inning of work) via singles, he got the next two batters down via pop out and ground out. The runners advanced. 2-2 count. Too much of the plate. Good experience for the young man, indeed, but the Double-A level continues to offer instruction on where he needs to improve in the off-season. Second mound visit and he stays in the game. We all know the Shuckers bullpen is their Achilles heel. Let's hope he can shut it down and prevent further damage.

    Wood plates two more as the Shuckers jump to a 5-1 lead! Big poke!

    I was today's years old when I realized former Shucker LHP Adam Seminaris leads all of Minor League baseball in strikeouts heading into this final week of the regular season (Triple-A, speaking). I find this absolutely remarkable if also hard to believe.😅

    I did not see this thread somehow. LOL. In case anyone else doesn't, I've spread this announcement news in two additional Transaction threads and today's Game Thread. 😅

    To close this AFL Loop, official roster announcements for the AFL are out. Here's a complete look at the Brewers rostered on Scottsdale:
  8. Joseph Zarr
    AFL participants officially announced. Meneses, Quezada, Birchard, and Mercedes. Wood, Bitonti, and Payne.

    I understand what you are saying. He closed August and began September on a tear and was being talked about within the Cardinals org and around MiLB. He tweaked something vs Corpus Christie (6-for-15 in the series) and he is playing through it. Hasn't been the same since. I don't quite invest much in the overall numbers here as I trust the individuals I speak with monthly within MiLB. But, yes, if you pull WRC and comparable across orgs and Leagues you can paint that picture for sure.

    I've heard some chirps that LHP Jose Meneses is also heading to the AFL - which would mean, I believe, he will not be playing for Leones del Caracas. Yet to be confirmed but it seems like it is highly likely at this point.

    Well, there were two more aggressive canned plays given. J-Love audibled into the Sneak. Per LaFleur. Per Love. Just failed execution across the board...a Matt LaFleur led specialty.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    I would wholeheartedly agree here. Not only is there no methodology to the madness (case and point the post-game comments), it very much appears to be based on Matt's emotions or 'feel' in the moment. He didn't have a validation for that stupid decision other than "We could really put them away here!" (which is also just faulty logic), imho. AND, it also just disregards what we'd seen from the O-Line play all day. Again, no feel.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    Yeah. LaFleur is very smart and well studied with a week of prep. He is typically a very good first half coach - I still think he is a very good if not elite offensive coordinator. When the bullets fly and he has to adjust and maneuver in real time as a Head Coach? He's just, well, he's pretty horrendous. The track record is most definitely there. He is exactly who he is. That same stuttering fumbling guy at the podium shows up with a playsheet in his hand tasked with leading his football team. What we see time and time again? Mistakes. Failed execution. Poor decision-making (top down). Poor clock management (come on, how shocked were each and every one of you when we had three timeouts in our bag at the end of the first half. Be honest 🤣). This loss got away from them, yes. And, it's just one loss and it's week 1. But, my gods, the loss itself was on brand as it gets.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    Just split the final 6-Game series vs the Wahoos. Now the Shuckers face them in the initial post-season Best of 3. Here's hoping!
  16. Joseph Zarr
    Back to LaFleur. You have lost 5 straight coming into Week 1 getting outscored by 53 points in the 4th qtr and OT during that span. You have an opportunity to go ahead by a TD and a two point conversion. You made the FG (!!!). The old adage is "Take the points on the road." for obvious reasons. LaFleur simply has zero feel. He does not know the difference between aggressive and reckless. That was the game. I don't care about the refs. I don't care about Jordan checking into the sneak with a woeful bit of execution. The HC has to see the forest for the trees. In that environment. Against Flores. With the lead. Just an absurd amount of obliviousness. It truly is absurd. Ben Johnson goes for it on his own 21 because that is Ben Johnson. It's who he is. Matt LaFleur has no identity but near certainty it will be the wrong play; or the wrong execution; at precisely the wrong moment. We are in Packers prison.😅

    SO, let me get this straight: Same O-Line Coach Same Offensive Coordinator No FA O-Line additions Same injured failed 2025 FA acquisition was to be starting LG Spent one off-season asset drafting Jaeger Burton Benched Burton after rotating with 1's all TC Started Donovan Jennings and Jacob Monk The devolution of the Packers O-Line self-scout started under LaFleur and Steno as O-Line coach. It has evaporated under Butkus. This is an uncanny quagmire.
  18. Joseph Zarr
    It's such an easy card to play: downplaying a prospect's chances. We get it. Making The Show is absurdly hard and lasting at the Level even harder. Yet, I will choose celebrating and envisioning the loftiest projections because it is much more enjoyable - naturally, at the same time, grounded in the understanding the loftiest projections are unlikely reached. Anywho...
  19. Joseph Zarr
    Really really nice outing from RHP Josh Knoth. You love to see it!
  20. Joseph Zarr
    I'd have to think, at current statuses across the staff, if a series started today you'd have to go Miz; Hendo; May with Gasser as the man in waiting? It just feels like Harrison is trending toward being left off the post-season roster which is crazy to even think.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    SO, Harrison. His velo was up. The results were absent yet again. What do they do with this strange devolution? Playoffs are right around the corner. What an odd turn of events.
  22. Joseph Zarr
    With pride I proclaim: I will always remember 2024 DSL Argenis Aparicio. 😔
  23. Joseph Zarr
    For everything, honestly. No more Forums. No topics. Just a Brewer Fanatic life as one massive pile of everything.
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Wagoner continues to slay in the International League. IF there is a season in 2027, he is going to get an invite to Big League ST along with Blake Holub. Those two give me great hope we may have another couple Aces up the sleeve of some homegrown arms capable of Leverage down the line. We get a healthy Tyler Bryant returned to form? Let's make that three.
