    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.
  2. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Snoebird, I appreciate the reference to Thad Levine. Another person enlarging the Brewer conversation.
  3. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    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.
  4. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    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. :) :) :)

    What are you all feeling about Brandon Sproat these days?

  6. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    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.

    Some aspects of competitive ball change as we age. The wheels aren't spinning like they used to. Our roles change and evolve in the midst of aging. Yelich has a manager who understands aging better than most since he lives it. I am certain there are quiet behind the scenes conversations to address these realities. His role on the team may be changing but not his place on the team. Milwaukee is fortunate to have someone like Yelich on the field at times and in the clubhouse always.

    Amazing how wonderful it is to be a part of the Milwaukee Brewer fanbase. Years and years adding up to a decade of superb baseball especially in the Murphy years. Trusting Matt Arnold and his savants that a plan is underway to solidify the areas of need in the pitching department. Grateful to see Joey Ortiz OWNING third base now. Has there ever been a better time to be a fan? Especially in light of what could lie ahead with the riches of their minor league system.

    Tell me/us more about Tyson Hardin in AAA BrewCrew82!
  12. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Interesting but doesn't seem like it represents the present thinking of the front office. IMHO
  13. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Nice article. He has been good , and might I add really good sometimes for the first 3 -4 innings of the game. Then he unravels and flys off in his magic carpet to the land of crap. Pump the brakes is my view.
  14. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Greatly enjoyed the article Matty! Especially resonate with your statement: "The 2026 Cardinals aren't the 2025 Brewers; those Brewers were better. The 2026 Brewers aren't the 2025 Cubs; these Brewers are better." Couldn't agree with you more.
  15. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    It just looks like he has got the "it" factor. The "It" will keep on growing.
  16. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Joey Tito Ortiz will be a fine platoon at third with Hamilton. Glad Renhifo is no longer in the picture. Gladly take Ortiz's defense over Renhifo. If only Joey could hit 240!
  17. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Really like this move. Bring up Cooper and either DFA or trade Renhifo. The trade deadline is 6 weeks away. Let him settle in. Focus on a reliever and 3rd baseman at the trade deadline.
  18. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Instead of getting rid of some prospects I would strongly prefer bringing them up and allowing them to play. Get rid of Renhifo and bring up a prospect or two.
  19. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Thanks for the interesting article. Filled with much imagination. I would just say pump the brakes until Brandon Woodruff returns. Let's see how his rehab goes. Getting sooner.
  20. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Seems like a foregone conclusion that they will be trading for some relief pitching while also bring up Jett Williams. Renghifo is a sore thumb in an infield full of defensive gems. His double hitches on throwing across the diamond are irksome. Trade Mitchell for a bullpen arm not a bullpen rental.
  21. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Mitchell is not spelled "MITT"chel lately. Your videos display more of his tentativeness. MLB is a tough way to make a living. His defense could overcome some of his hitting deficiencies. Now both aren't as strong as they have been. Getting the feeling he will be included in a trade at the trade deadline. Got to start playing some of these minor league savants like Luis Lara and Jet Williams. Trade Mitchell for relief pitching.
  22. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    His running from first to third after the pitcher thru the ball past the first baseman was incredible to watch. What would it be to run like that? I know what it means to run like Gary Sanchez but Hamilton is just electric.
  23. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    thanks for the info. That helps.... 2032 is a long time away.
  24. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    How long do the Brewers control his contract before he becomes a free agent? Does calling him up for a stint in the majors this year accelerate the length of their control?
  25. Rick Daltons Flamethrower
    Great story about a wonderful human. Must have taken alot of courage to live and eventually die with Parkinson's. Blessings to his family!
