Baseball is a humbling and curious sport. For example, one day Harrison is slicing and dicing up the hitters and now he is treading water. 162 games is a long , long season. The "season" has seasons with in it as it mimics all the ups and downs of life. Patience and deep breaths are a requirement. Let's enjoy this special season. -
To my eyes he has a quiet confidence. He looks the part around the plate and looks to have a bright future. Great article about the Brewer's approach to their young players.
-
I think you bring up one of their minor leaguers who is hitting bombs. Lots of fun options in the minors with some interesting trade options brewing in the Fall. That minor league system is the gift that keeps on giving.
-
There is room for both of them at third. Defense for Ortiz is other worldly and Hamilton's is really on the rise. I trust Pat Murphy.
-
I think you can be a great fan by cheering for Yelli but also by hoping for his benching for a while so he can clear his head and spirit. Both are ok and part of fandom.

Lots of lines in the water per Matt Arnold. We weren't fishing for Peralta (but good luck to him). Hopefully Mason Miller the reliever from San Diego makes his way to the Brew Crew. An A+ bullpen can really make some noise in October. Go get our muskie Matt Arnold.
-
Great news. He was an ascending player at the time of the injury. Just not sure where he lands in the lineup. Pinch hitter, pinch runner, late inning defensive help and occasional start in any outfield position. A Renaissance man of sorts.

I read something yesterday that most Brewer fans want them to trade for Skubal. Who are these fans? Where are these fans? Please , please , please don't give up the farm for a couple month rental.
-
Snoebird, I appreciate the reference to Thad Levine. Another person enlarging the Brewer conversation.
-
Say no to this madness. Skubal is too expensive for a two month date. Now Mason Miller is expensive but there is a long honeymoon with him. That would be incredible if Matt Arnold could pull that off.
-
Wouldn't it be fun if we actually were behind the Brewer's Curtain as they discussed all the options available. If Matt Arnold let us sit at the back of the room to just listen. I would promise not to spill the beans. That would be a rich experience. If they started to talk about giving up all these young prospects for a couple of months to rent Skubal I might scream and get kicked out of the room. :) :) :)

I laughed out loud reading about how many AVS challenges we could save with this trade. :) Thanks Harold!

I just remember a few years back when the Brewers traded Josh Hader while they were in a pennant run. The clubhouse was surprised and it had a detrimental effect on the team. This team has some players who are really strong clubhouse guys. I have a hard time believing they will be trading guys like Sal Frelick and Joey Ortiz. Maybe in the offseason but not now in the middle of chasing a deep October run. I love your articles Matt but disagree with Ortiz being spun off.

One plus one equals two. The possibility of the Brewers wanting to trade for this position seems outlandish. Not a position of need at this juncture with our pitchers hemorrhaging. Also the aspect of Matt Arnold bringing Brewer types of players into the clubhouse doesn't add up. Also his having "not so good" defense doesn't fit. One plus one isn't adding up here for me to two. It just seems outlandish, crazy and way off target for where this club sits in 2026.
