Now Gasser has to try and hold down the A's.

Bet over.

That didn't take long.

I added from brewers.com to the article.

Either the Brewers are saving him or exploring trades for him, are the only two things I can come up with.

Or maybe Murphy just surprises everyone again with his hidden baseball in game adjustments and strategy that nobody expected when Craig Counsel bailed on Milwaukee 3 years ago. Which to me has been a huge windfall for the Brewers. While south of the boarder the headlines still are: The Cubs bought and paid for all of Craig Counsell's shortcomings Time for Cubs fans to accept reality. By Jake Elman 17 hours ago.

Here are seven fun facts from one of the wildest contests we’ve seen in a good while. From Brewers,com The Brewers LIVE for 15-14 games It goes without saying that 15-14 is quite an unusual final score: It’s only happened 18 times since at least 1900, including once in the postseason (Game 4 of the 1993 World Series). But before Monday, the most recent time it had happened sure seems familiar. It was back on Aug. 17, 2019, when a 15-14 road game at Nationals Park was won by ... the Brewers, naturally. Before that, you’d have to go back to Aug. 5, 2001, to find the previous 15-14 game, and that one was a classic: Cleveland pulled off the biggest comeback in MLB history to beat Seattle, rallying late from a 12-0 deficit. That’s a lot of runs … The 29 combined runs scored in Monday’s game smashed the previous MLB-wide season high of 25, which was set by the Giants in a 19-6 win over the Rockies on May 31. But it hasn’t actually been that long since two teams topped that: The Pirates and Rockies combined to plate 33 runs in a 17-16 thriller on Aug. 1, 2025, at Coors Field. And a lot of homers Las Vegas Ballpark, the current home of the A’s Triple-A affiliate, proved to be a true launching pad when the A’s and Brewers opened their series in Sin City. The two clubs combined for 11 homers, with the A’s actually launching seven despite the loss, including two apiece for lefty sluggers Nick Kurtz and Tyler Soderstrom. This season, the only other team to hit seven homers in a game was the Giants ... just three days earlier in an 18-3 romp at Wrigley Field. The 11 combined home runs were the most since the Royals and Orioles also combined for 11 on May 4, 2025, in Baltimore. How many hits? The Brewers managed their 15 runs on 18 hits, two more than the Athletics’ 16 hits in their losing effort. First baseman Andrew Vaughn led the way with four hits for Milwaukee, while three A’s (Kurtz, Soderstrom and catcher Shea Langeliers) each had three. In 2026, only the May 31 Giants-Rockies clash featured more combined hits (35) than Monday’s game (34). Last season, only six teams both recorded and allowed at least 16 hits in a game -- and one of them was the Brewers, who had 17 and gave up 18 in (you guessed it) another road win, on June 22, 2025, in Minnesota. Challenging times The two teams combined to issue 16 ABS challenges on Monday, shattering the previous record of 12 since ABS came to the Major Leagues beginning this season. The A’s were also involved in one of the two games with 12 combined challenges, their home contest against the Cardinals on May 14. On Monday, the Brewers went 5-for-7 on their challenges, while the A’s were 6-of-9 -- despite losing their second challenge in the bottom of the ninth, they received another for each extra inning and lost a third in the 12th. Tired arms Both the Brewers and A’s used seven pitchers in Monday’s slugfest, and the 14 hurlers combined to throw 441 pitches. That was a season high, surpassing 432 pitches thrown in the 13-inning Rays-Pirates contest on April 18 at PNC Park. Including the postseason, the most recent game with more was the 18-inning Game 3 of the 2025 World Series (609); the previous regular-season game with more was the April 4, 2025, Rockies-Giants game (447), which went 11 innings. The A’s alone threw 238 pitches, the most by a single team in a regular-season game since … the A’s, on March 31, 2025, against the Cubs (246). A long night at the yard With so much offensive firepower, it’s little surprise Monday’s game took quite a while to complete. A 7:05 p.m. Pacific Time start, the contest took four hours and 14 minutes to finish, the longest game of the season. In fact, the 12-inning contest even outlasted the two 13-inning games played in 2026 -- Rays-Pirates on April 18 and Rays-Orioles on May 25, both four hours, 12 minutes. Monday’s marathon was the longest regular-season game in the Majors since the Marlins and Twins played 13 innings in four hours, 16 minutes on Sept. 26, 2024.

The scary thing is that he is hitting 8 points better than Caleb Durbin.

What ever happened to? https://www.mlb.com/player/luis-urias-649966

Down to 2 runs now.

Only a 2 run game now.

4 runs should be EZ in this park.

No they don't its rat infested.

Like there hitting golf balls over the fence.

Dang that field is playing fast, TV is about a 1/2 second behind even the ground balls.

Personally I'd rather just trade Sal Frelick Brewers: OF Luis Lara If the Brewers want to add an impact pitcher or hitter to make another run for a postseason spot, they may have to deal a premium player from MLB Pipeline’s top-ranked farm system. They don’t want to trade baseball’s top overall prospect, Jesús Made, and club No. 2 prospect Luis Peña might have too many red flags from recent health scares. No. 4 Cooper Pratt just inked an eight-year contract in April, so he’s not moving, and No. 3 Jett Williams is so well fitted to the Brewers because of his positional versatility that it’s hard to envision the team dealing him away less than a year after getting him from the Mets. So, how about Lara (Brewers No. 5, overall No. 91), who is in the midst of a breakthrough season at Triple-A and plays a position -- outfield -- at which the Brewers are well stocked with young talent. -- Adam McCalvy

My problem with Sal is ... Sal trys to swing harder than Kyle Schwarber but Schwarber out weighs him by 40 pounds. Dude Sal needs to realize he's not Schwarber. He needs to concentrate on line drive singles and change his game ASAP and hit more like Luis Arraez with only about 5 HR's per year. This advice would do him more than well.

Kyle Harrison could be our new ACE since Freddy is gone. His numbers sure look good. https://www.mlb.com/player/kyle-harrison-690986

I agree about getting a real return for Bauers because he could be having the best season of his Brewer career, also can pitch in a blowout loss to save arms. Jake Bauers made five pitching appearances in his Major League career, all coming during the 2025 season. Across those 5 games, he logged 5.0 total innings, allowing 4 runs (2 earned) on 8 hits, with 3 walks and 1 strikeout, finishing with a 3.60 ERA. P.S. Sal Frelick would be my choice to put up on the trading block!

I like his Thunderbird Wawk above! Wawk Hallelujah! Whoa! Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa! America, have U heard? I got a brand new dance and it's called "The Bird." U don't need no finesse or no personality, U just need 2 arms and an attitude, so everybody sing with me. Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa! Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa! Brothers, don't be cool. Women like it sometimes when U act a fool. Sisters, don't be shy Let your body get loose, U ain't 2 fat 2 fly Come on now! Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa! Y'all sing it with me, goes like this Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Cubs lose 2-1 in th3 10th. Cubs tied with Pirates now. Stl in 2nd place 5 games behind Brewers.

From Cubs chat room on Taillon injury: I’d be upset over this but this Taillon stinks. Leads the league in homers given up. He eats innings but other than that dude is so washed. Wish we could use him for spare parts.

Great production from a guy I never heard of a year ago. Brewers can polish up some of these players into gems quickly, something not many teams can do. Hope he stays injury free and keeps up the progression.

Yes, nice to have more than a one run lead going into the late innings.
