    14!

    Monasterio had to prove that absolutely everyone on this team can come up big.

    M LB likes to change rules to stop what the Brewers do to win more than they should. They used the unrestricted September call-ups to great effect, so that got limited to two players. They used options to keep fresh arms in the pen, so the number of times a player can be optioned in a season. They used the shift more than other teams, and that got banned (I'm good with the shift ban, though). So now the league has to figure out how to stop fundamentally sound play, aggressive base running, and good pitching.

    He was told to hit line drives when the Brewers called him up. It seems that mindset with the other minor changes have him focused on good contact and not max power, and good things happen with good contact.

    It would be interesting to see the number of unearned runs the Brewers have scored, compared to other teams. I suspect it's pretty high, but i can't find that statistic anywhere.

    Ortiz has a .391 average and a .983 ops in August. He has responded to not losing his starting job in spectacular fashion.

    Not wild, but I'll take it.

    Unfortunately, there's an implied 'so far' with the worst ump of the year comments.

    George Webb has gotten way too much free advertising this season. Time for them pay out.

    Since May 17th, the Brewers are playing at a .721 clip. Their record was 49-19 over those games. So 30-18 would be cooling off from how they have been playing for the last 2,5 months.

    The pitchers did a good job making a 7-2 game a nail-biter.

    The Brewers are a case of the whole being better than the sum of the parts. They just work.

    If there's any time for a west coast swing, it's right after the All-Star break. Plenty of rest and more time to travel and adjust to the time change.

    The only thing Woody owes the Brewers is to pitch to the best of his abilities the rest of the season. Given his first two starts, he's doing just that. After that he only owes himself to do what is right for him and his family.

    He was given the green light because of the situation and just missed a hittable pitch. It was a reasonable gamble. Fortunately Collins didn't miss his pitch.

    Colbert had a great roast of the new hats. Starting at 2:45 of this clip:

    Not really. The playoff games only generated 24 pages. There's a lot to continually talk about during a game. As big as this is for the Brewers, once you've said your peace, there isn't much else to say. Also, it's easy to say something when something great happens, or vent when something makes you mad. But sad? That just causes you to be choked up, and the words don't always come. Since I haven't said my thoughts yet, I know that I will really miss hearing that first game of the season. When the first pitch was thrown and you could hear the energy and excitement in his voice. Maybe there was snow on the ground and everything else was wrong in the world, but there was one thing that was just right. He wasn't just a seasoned pro calling the game. He was a fan with the privilege of sharing the game with those of us who couldn't be there. Springs, and summers, will never be the same.

    Does anyone know who decides what gets played during mound visits? I ask because I've heard some unexpected music during mound visits. A few years ago at Brewers home games they would often play the theme from Blazing Saddles. But the one that really got me was a series at Wrigley where the several times played the theme from Castle in the Sky. A MLB game is an odd place to hear a piece from a classic anime movie, especially one that is lyrical and a bit melancholy.

    Chris Sale, Adbert Alzolay. I'm sure there are others, but I can't find them with a quick search. My mind linked the two right away, but didn't save the sources.

    As long as Cortes is healthy and that flexor strain doesn't come back and turn into TJ surgery by May, this is a good trade for the Brewers. I am concerned that it will, as these injuries can look better after rest and then come back with a vengeance when pitching resumes.

    Was Frelik's bat good enough to win the golden glove? As for Yelich, maybe the reluctance to move him to first is because the movements he'd need to make there would put his back at additional injury risk.

    Love hearing Uke say 'Hee struck him out!'

    Nice between starts bullpen session by Freddie.

    Looking at bWAR, he's in the top 1 to wear 19 for the majority of his career in all of baseball history.

    But they are still I contention for worst 162-game season.
