Tip of the cap to FOX for the Ueck tribute. That was nicely done.
-
If there was an award for the entire playoffs, I think he would get it, what he's done in the World Series has been great but what's really impressive is how he did it across all 3 series and was lights out the entire time.
-
So...no one is going to say anything about the fact that Joe Davis apparently reads the in-game threads here and had thoughts about the idea of pitching Miz last night?
-
Well, one positive of the Trop's mound, it has helped us relate to the physical greatness of Miz that was otherwise never going to happen...
-
Not that we want to be helping the Rays but someone should tell them that a headfirst slide into first is slower than just running through the base

Not knowing what a check swing is is the new not knowing what a catch is.

Jean Segura disagrees with this statement.

Love it for Woody, by all accounts he is a great guy and to be able to finish his Brewers career (assuming he's not back next year) contributing to a World Series win would be a fairy tale ending. As far as the baseball side of things, I trust the judgement of the Brewers baseball people and that they believe he is the best option to get outs in this series of those being considered for that last roster spot.

Brewers acquire Jake Bauers from NYY
Turnbows Barber replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I realize you only quoted the part of the article about Bauers since this thread is about Bauers so it makes sense that you didn't include it, but the opening line of that article literally made me laugh out loud. -
What an at bat from Bauers...again. The Brewers are just more comfortable being behind...
-
I'm going to look at things from the positive side, Ortiz is just trying to replicate this regular season, after struggling greatly early in the playosffs he's going to crush it at the plate for the end of this series and the World Series.

Have some respect, it's the Hammond Bears.

Naylor is on the 40 man roster. https://www.mlb.com/brewers/roster/40-man has everyone on the 40 man, including the players on the 60 day IL who do not count as one of the 40.

Woody having season ending shoulder surgery
Turnbows Barber replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is probably thinking too far outside the box, but how about they sign him to a 2-year minor league deal (they did that with someone a few years back knowing they wouldn't pitch the first year of the contract, right?) with the idea that the first year is going to be rehabbing, obviously, but also essentially in some sort of coaching role? Then, the second year is highly incentive laden so that if he is healthy and is able to return and be effective he's paid what worth. Gets rid of taking up a 40-man space while he's rehabbing, gets rid of the lock-out being an issue with being able to rehab with the team (maybe? I have no idea what the specific rules are for something like that), keeps him in the organization with one more chance to go out as a Brewer on his terms, and maybe gets a useful pitcher in 2028. And if it is clear at some point before then that it just isn't happening and he has the interest, retire and transition into a full time coaching role. I could be completely wrong, but I can't imagine there are going to be teams are going to be lining up to offer much in terms of a big-league deal given the laundry list of injuries over the past few years. -
Maybe Jean Segura can come out of retirement to steal first base to get to a runner on first instead of second?

Jake. Bauers Appreciation thread
Turnbows Barber replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Good article in this morning's USA Today about Bauers: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2026/06/21/jakers-bauers-stats-brewers-contract/90633096007/ -
Erick Almonte was on Tim Dillard's podcast over the winter, I finally got around to listening to that episode this past weekend. It was a very interesting conversation, I enjoy hearing the stories of guys who were basically career minor league guys but lasted a long time.
-
By my math he's on pace for 45 wins. Is that a lot?
-
If anyone else was confused by the math on this like I initially was, the numbers past the decimal place are the number of days of service time they have, not a fraction of a year, so Harrison has 1 year, 102 days of service time, not just barely over a year of service time.
-
Happy for Murph, it's always a bit of an unknown with people you don't really know, but he seems like a genuinely good person and what he has done over the past couple seasons speaks for itself. It seems like so long ago that everyone was talking about how he was just there to keep the seat warm for a season or two until Rickie Weeks took over.
-
What a series. Can't ask for much more as a fan. Sure, a sweep would have be great, but what a way to win it.

Are the Brewers Peaking Too Soon?
Turnbows Barber replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This. I think it was last year (or maybe the year before) that Dom went through the statistics on Brewers Weekly and there was essentially zero correlation between how hot a team was going into the playoffs and how well they did in the playoffs.
