Thompson with an uneven performance today. Too many baserunners with 5 hits/4 BB’s but limited runs with 2 and did K 7.

Brewers top pitching prospects pitching well today. Kuehner-Hardin-Morrison all with excellent outings. Hopefully Thompson can join them.

Great to see Kuehner pitching again — and pitching so well to boot. Are they limiting Sproats innings or converting him to relief?

I’m with you on a hard cap/floor will be bad for baseball and especially for MKE. Share more revenue among teams, increase penalties for overspending, neuter the Dodgers Japanese & TV RS advantages. Increase the small-market competitive-balance comp picks and international pool $. That should even things up more and not penalize a team like MKE from being smarter than the rest of baseball.

Check that. 3rd scoreless outing in a row for Crow.

Coleman Crow with his second scoreless outing in a row. Feel pretty good about him making a spot-start for MKE if needed. Nice starter depth to have stashed at AAA. Nice to have Cameron Wagoner back pitching again. I’d like to see him get a chance to impact the big-league bullpen before the season is over.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving franchise and fanbase. God I hate that team.

Absolutely — just an absurdly deep class of talent. Lots of future big-league players from the names you mentioned and then there’s Manfredi who was just traded to Colorado who could make his BL debut before the end of the year. Just an incredible draft-class.

This team can use a veteran big-bat that can lead this team for the next few years with all the young, developing talent added recently and on the way. Adding too many inexperienced players, no matter how talented, will likely set the team back for a bit. If I’m the team I’m trying to extend him with a 3 year offer and if I’m not able to get that done then offer the QO.

Age-regression is a real thing. Almost their entire lineup is 31+ and one of the 2 that aren’t over 31, Kyle Tucker moves like an old man. The lineup is slumping over the last month plus so it looks worse than it probably is, but if they win another WS this year it’ll likely be because of their SP being healthy entering the postseason.

Tate Keuhner’s back! 2 unearned runs with 5 K. 60+ pitches, 92-94, so hopefully the velo ticks up as he builds back his arm-strength. Just nice to have him back pitching again.

SSS with the lower K-rate but encouraging nonetheless. Extraordinary athlete & talent, and with the power he’s showing, especially to the opposite-field, we could have ourselves another special player moving-forward. 30th ranked Brewers prospect far too low. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s near the top 10 after the season’s complete.

And with Misiorowski’s dominance, I’m making it the best 1-4 in Brewers history, but I also could just be more bullish on Dustin May than some. Was hoping for his acquisition above the Skubal one due to value and prospect-cost. To me, he give the Brewers another potential Frontline starter just like other 3, with just a little more consistency, and we have Hook & co as our secret weapon to help him with that. Priority is getting all 4 rested and healthy entering the postseason. The team seems to recognize that above all else with the minimum of 5 rest days between starts and possibly skipping select starts for some or most of our starters moving-forward.

Hoping to see 2 starters acquired today, 1 rental & 1 controlled. I don’t think the team can count on Crow for starter depth due to durability and possible innings restrictions and imo, are devoid of real starter options in the uppers and thus need multiple starters added. I really like the 6 options you listed, any of which would solve the biggest need this team has — protecting the health of their young starters and getting them to the postseason rested. I like Rogers for a rental. He has the most upside for this season and loved how he shutdown the Dodgers lineup when Baltimore visited Chavez Ravine earlier this year. Either of Phillips or Feltner works for me as a controllable. Probably go with the lower cost option.

Can’t be impatient. Need to trust the process. Slow and steady wins the race. When a franchise can’t buy talent, they have to develop it. This should be easy for all of us to understand as Brewers fans. No shortcuts. Keep accumulating prospect talent. Continue to develop the talent and eventually there will come a point where the big-league roster is talented enough with organizational talent that is deep enough that the team can “go for it” at the trade-deadline if it makes sense to do so — that time is not now. Fortunately, we are getting closer to that time thanks to the talent of our FO and infrastructure.
