I never seen Goldschmidt look so bummed as this season. I hope he go's on a tear after Milwaukee.

No kidding.

I agree, unless he can go 2 or 3 innings with a big zero runs allowed, I think he be gone also.

Speaking of Counsell, I wish someone would ask Craig what really happened to Devin Williams. He may not be as zipper lipped about it like the Brewers front office. May 9th. Devin Williams is still recovering from two stress fractures in his back. The initial timeline was shut down for six weeks; out for three months. But that was more than seven weeks ago, and we've heard nothing yet about him resuming baseball activity. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10120119-breaking-down-latest-mlb-injury-report-for-every-team

They have made some very good trades, I can't argue that. But I didn't like Sterns to much at the end in Milwaukee.

Yes and Jackie was terrible.

Hey Hey Sal a 2 RBI hit.

How about Jackie Bradley Jr.

I didn't hate it, He blew his last year here.

OK then put Chourio in there. We don't have to many choices.

He could go 5 for the next 10 and be batting .276 so not worried yet. To early.

You must smell Gassers heat. "Can you smell what Gassers got cooken'

We won't have any platers left, Frelick, Chourio and who else, Wiemer's hurt.

More like John Candy.

I don't remember Lance Lynn being so fat.

I'm sure he will be playing more this summer. He is not injured that I know of. If I was to guess its being over whelmed at first.

I assumed it was in place of the Peralta suspension?

Robert Gasser settled in at the University Houston and turned himself into the 71st overall pick in the 2021 Draft, taken in that spot by the Padres. San Diego moved the left-hander to Milwaukee a year later as part of a four-player package for All-Star closer Josh Hader, and the Brewers got more aggressive with him, getting him to Double-A and Triple-A by the end of his first full season. Gasser spent the entire 2023 campaign with Nashville, where he led Triple-A pitchers with 166 strikeouts and finished second among qualifiers with a 3.79 ERA over 135 1/3 innings. The 6-foot southpaw throws both a four-seamer and sinker around 91-94 mph -- the former working up in the zone and the latter dropping low to limit damage (no batter managed an extra-base hit off Gasser’s sinker in 2023). He uses both more as table-setters while his 79-82 mph slider can be a true put away pitch -- one that can run away from lefties or backfoot righties with sweep and even some lift. He’s added an upper-80s cutter that hovers right around the 0-inch horizontal mark, giving him a pitch he can pinpoint with relative ease. His upper-80s changeup has dwindled in usage as Gasser has worked on its command. Walks have never been a huge roadblock in Gasser’s profile, and his solid control has continually fueled his high strikeout numbers and climb toward the bigs. Without a true second plus pitch, the left-hander doesn’t have a particularly high ceiling, but he’s already close to meeting his floor as a backend starter. He should be a factor in Milwaukee’s rotation quickly in 2024.

Bark at the Park Hey yeah, bark at the Park Oh-oh, yeah, bark at the Park a-oooooo!

Also the loss of Devin Williams wasn't even mentioned.

Good, the Cubs lost today also.

I agree 100%, your throwing players into a whirlwind by bouncing them to a different position every game. Not every player can handle that.
