A game like Sunday makes it all too easy to ignore the fact the Brewers soundly beat the Nats in the first two games of the series. -

I think the point is that these kinds of decisions are best made 5-ish years ahead of time to see it all done by the expiration of the contract/agreement. That doesn't leave a ton of time to hash out which direction is the best path forward.

I'd have to do some digging but I'm relatively confident they couldn't put a roof in that location. Either way, it doesn't really matter that much to me, as my extreme preference is no roof so however they got there is fine with me. Target Field's views would have really suffered with a roof over the stadium, particularly right field.

While partially true, a big component of no roof on Target Field was that they would have needed to build the park elsewhere, as the current location of Target Field did not have a footprint large enough for a roofed stadium. I personally believe baseball parks should not have roofs so I believe this was the correct decision.

Introducing Dark Mode!
Brock Beauchamp commented on Brock Beauchamp's blog entry in Battle Your Tail Off
You're not the first person I've heard say that this is actually a huge physical issue with their eyes. I wish I had known that earlier and I would have prioritized this before a few days ago. -
Article: Time is Running Out for Brewers' Cain
Brock Beauchamp replied to Tim Muma's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
But hey, at least his... sprint speed... is still good... I'll show myself to the door, thanks. -

This has been one of the most-requested features for a long time and I'm happy to announce that Dark Mode is finally a thing you can use across the site! Dark Mode is a new way to use Brewer Fanatic, especially at night or in darkened rooms. Instead of the background being black text over white background, it's the inverse: white text over black background. Some people find sites easier to use and read in this inverted scheme and now it's really easy to toggle back and forth as needed. At the top right of each page, you will see four icons in the blue bar; the first icon is a half-filled circle. Click that to toggle back and forth from light to dark modes on the site. That's it! Now, the site has become quite sprawling and while I tried to check every aspect of how this renders on each page, I surely missed some things. Therefore, dear user, you are my quality assurance team. If you see anything that's hard to read, doesn't work right, or just plain looks weird, add a comment below and I'll get it fixed as soon as possible. For those of you who have been asking for this feature for so long, sorry it has taken this long. What seemed like a pretty simple feature actually turned into an overly-complex problem that I couldn't solve without quite a bit of effort. Once again, I'd like to give a big thanks and shout out to our caretakers of Brewer Fanatic; without their continued support, small-but-important features like Dark Mode would be much more difficult to implement. The added freedom to hire additional staff allows me to spend more time focusing on these types of projects. Thanks again!

Part two of this Bob Uecker-narrated retrospective of the 1989 Milwaukee Brewers focuses on a trio of veterans: Paul Molitor, Jim Gantner, and Robin Yount. While Gantner was injured and struggled for much of the season, Molitor went on a tear late in the season, posting long hitting streaks and absurd batting averages. Meanwhile, Robin Yount was hitting milestones left and right as he set the Brewers home run record, recorded his 1,000th RBI, and his 2,000th hit.

Willy Adames has been sent to the 10-day Injured List for a high-ankle sprain he received on May 15th against the Marlins. Brewers shortstop Willy Adames has been sent to the 10-day Injured List for a high ankle sprain he received on May 15th while attempting to score on a sacrifice fly. The move is retroactive to the following day, May 16th. The injury is a significant blow to Milwaukee's offense, as Adames has a league-leading nine home runs and an OPS+ of 117. He has been a fixture of the middle of the Brewers order since he arrived via trade last season and outside of Yelich, is perhaps the most important offensive piece if the team makes a deep postseason run in 2022. Recalled is much-maligned infielder Keston Hiura, who struggled with contact early in 2022, striking out in nearly 50% of his plate appearances. High ankle sprains are tricky and particularly hard on infielders who rely on twitch reflexes and planting to pivot and dive for balls. It's very possible Adames could miss significantly more time than ten days, which puts the Brewers in a difficult position until his return. View full article

Bob Uecker narratives this 20-year anniversary retrospective of the 1989 Milwaukee Brewers. It was a volatile season with the Brewers bouncing up and down the standings in the American League East division. We see many familiar faces of yore in this video: Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Teddy Higuera, and more.

Keston Hiura had some early season success but ultimately, it wasn't enough to prevent a demotion to AAA Nashville. Keston Hiura has been a polarizing figure among Brewers fans for several years. After a breakout 2019 season, he struggled through the shortened 2020 season before becoming borderline unplayable in 2021, posting just a 49 OPS+ 197 plate appearances. Huira has struggled to find a position and playing time in the current Brewer roster, as the Brewers have Kelton Wong entrenched at second base while Rowdy Tellez has thrived at first. His reverse platoon splits have also been working against Hiura, meaning the right-handed hitter struggles against left-handed pitching. This has led manager Craig Counsell to have difficulty regularly finding a place to play Hiura. Replacing Hiura is 28-year-old minor league journeyman Luis Perdomo, likely a stop-gap move as the Brewers want to bolster their bullpen during a stretch where the team plays nine games in nine days, the final six on the road. Suppose Hiura remains in the minor leagues for 20 days. In that case, the Brewers will burn his remaining option, which means they will need to make a difficult decision on Hiura this fall or next spring, as he will be required to remain on the 26-man Major League roster or be exposed to waivers. Was this the right move for the Brewers to make? Leave a comment and give us your opinion! View full article

After making the postseason for the first time in 1981, the 1982 Brewers stumbled out of the gate, losing 14 of 21 games and putting manager Buck Rodgers on the hot seat. Ultimately, Rodgers was fired in early June and replaced by interim manager Harvey Kuenn, who helped lead the Crew to their first World Series appearance that season. Featured in this video is a (very young) Bud Selig who was interviewed about the mid-season managerial change.

Why are ads necessary?
Brock Beauchamp commented on Brock Beauchamp's blog entry in Battle Your Tail Off
Well, partially yes, but that's not the entire story, at least for me. I've been a part of many forums over the years and watched almost all of them slowly die to the (what I believe are contemptible) forces of Facebook and Reddit. Instead of all these great little communities that once existed for every niche, each with their own particular flavor, we have a handful of overlords controlling a too-large portion of the internet. So, yeah, I want to someday make money from this site but it's not as if Twins Daily is raking in the cash for me, either... the work I do is as much out of love of communities and the sport as it is financial gain. If it was purely financial gain, I'm a developer with 20+ years of experience living in a tech-heavy city. I have lots of opportunities that pay much better than what I'm doing here... but I actually care about my baseball projects, which makes these projects a fair trade-off for me personally. -
