Uribe showed steel nerves tonight. Essentially got 5 outs. He had the determined countenance we saw on his face often last year…..maybe this whole thing will help him focus in this year. I love Bauers - one thing I will say is after being a good glovesman at first base for years, he has been pitiful this year. He legit has a lot of errors. Obviously a terrible throw by Ortiz, but Bauers didn’t even come within inches of it. Strange. Megill’s fastball maybe has ticked up a tiny bit, but for whatever reason it seems so much harder to pick up than it did the first weeks of the season. Love seeing him and Uribe locked in! Great win even when you play kinda bad. Good game for Chourio. Also would much rather see Murph pinch hit for Frelick than Mitchell right now.

I love when someone hits the first home run of the season - and it really counts!

Why the hell would Murph have Roger Clemens address the team? Not a good look. Known as pretty much not a good dude.

This is why Matt is the best. That several Brewers fans on this forum didn’t like Uribe’s gesture was not surprising and makes perfect sense. That some were willing to call him an outright bald faced liar, and not even consider that he had any reason or justification whatsoever for going over the top - bespeaks perhaps something a bit more pernicious with their mindset. I wonder if the people defending the Cardinals’ honor while at the same time besmirching Uribe’s, will still not even admit to themselves one tiny bit that they could have been wrong in their assessment after reading Trueblood’s in-depth investigations and analysis.

Good to see Trevor Mac hit 100mph on that last pitch. Also very pleased with Chandler Patrick making a really good spot start. He wasn’t just an opener. Also Mitchell’s approach on last night’s home run and today’s double is awesome.

Totally understandable to disagree or even disapprove of how he handled it! Just wild to believe he went out and completely contrived an entire fabrication that he is putting on record in front of his teammates! The Cardinals have done this much more recently than over a decade ago!! See: Willson Contreras. They are accepted as the most bush league team in sports…..a Brewers fan of all people should know this. By the way, Murphy is pissed. Can you imagine how apoplectic he would be if he found out Abner just went out and started a lie about the other team after this!?? That would make things so much worse for Abner. Watch the video. He seems somber and takes ownership. This would be a pretty insane lie that he just thought up in detail on the fly!

It’s wild to me that you are ready to call someone a bald faced liar with zero proof, after he accused the least honorable team in sports of doing the exact kind of antics they are known for. If it’s just incomprehensible wanton immaturity, why didn’t Abner randomly do this two weeks ago or a month ago? It’s peculiar that you refused to believe he may have been responding to something…..

Normally I’d agree with you for sure man, and as I said earlier the one team I don’t mind openly disrespecting is the Cardinals, but what is a manager supposed to say when someone does something so over the top kinda out of nowhere? I mean he gave them three “suck its” right in front of everybody out of the blue!?!?!

I agree it wasn’t the worst thing. But I’m pretty sure it was a Degeneration X era “suck it” motion yeah?

Normally I don’t love seeing what Abner did especially in a game that isn’t very testy. That being said, I feel confident he was responding to someone in the Cardinals dugout talking junk. But even if not, if there is one team that holds a special place in baseball where someone should disrespect them - it is most definitely the Cardinals! So I don’t have nearly as much of a problem with it as I normally would.

On top of the aforementioned command and control issues, Gasser’s stuff has just not looked as crisp. His time in the big leagues in 2024 he would occasionally hit 95 on his fastball when need be, now he seems to be topping out at 92. It’s sad that coming back from Tommy John has been so much harder for him than most people these days - he’s essentially almost two full years removed from it. Alas, I have a lot of faith in the young man and think he is a smart and applied student of the game. I think he definitely has a future in a big league rotation. Regardless, if he can’t ever find that command, he should not have a problem becoming a better DL Hall in a relief role. Pairing a fastball that would probably be in the mid 90s, along with that slider from that arm angle in what would be short stints…..would be ghoooode. And be very tough on lefties. I like the lad!

Couldn’t agree with this article more. However, it was really nice to see him gun down some stupid Cub to start that game the other day. Just a reminder of how dynamic he can be. Hopefully things like that put a little pep in his step going forward. That throw really zapped the foul Cubs from gaining momentum early in that game. I almost enjoy seeing the Cubs lose at home as much as I enjoy seeing the Crewers win!!!

I happen to like that…..”lipper”. I think he and the Sanchize are in competition. A who’s is bigger kinda thing.

Sal was one of my favorite players last year - it is jarring to me how bad of a baseball player he is right now. As much of a gamer as he is, the fact that he didn’t even CONSIDER challenging it shows his head is not in the game. That is inexplicable and not tolerable. He then fouls off a borderline pitch that prevents the winning run from reaching second. I remember Lorenzo Cain’s second year in his return to the Crew, he back legged a few homeruns and then it seemed like he was trying to do that the rest of the year, forgetting he was not a power hitter. Sal is doing that tenfold right now. His swing is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen and he is showing NO signs of attempting anything differently. He also is offering next to nothing speed wise right now. Right field cannot be a defense only position. Sal responded very well to being benched last year. That needs to be done again this year. He is not right and showing no signs of changing his issues and his head is not in the game.

I think Corey Hart got hurt pretty bad by the unpadded section of the right field wall too. Not 100% sure. It has baffled me for years that the Brewers think that bottom 15 inches or whatever of wall needs to be unpadded. Their refusal to address it is…..weird. Hard to believe it’s just about saving a few bucks. Maddeningly stupid.
