This didn’t age well. This is his post season record It would be ironic if we lose the World Series because Peralta shuts us out two games Sproat and Williams aren’t even on the roster. It doesn’t surprise me that Peralta didn’t do well in New York, where the fans and the media are not supportive. G W-L ERA IP SO WHIP 4 1-0 1.08 16.2 12 1.14

I think I had the biggest swing in emotions of any Brewer game. I was disappointed in their poor fielding and at bats, that is usually their strength. I thought what a disappointment losing the NLDS will be after a great regular season, with the supposedly un-hittable Mason Miller coming in. Then an unbelievable story book ending. From disappointment to elation. I hope we win tomorrow. I don’t know how much more my heart can stand.

It gets tiring keeping track of all these AAAA players. I feel bad for these guys who come up, outperform the big leaguers and then are back on a bus the next day.

I am not that concerned about Sproat. I’m more disappointed about Williams. Nobody is discussing the fact that his wrist soreness isn’t a new injury. He had surgery for it 2 years ago. He may never be able to play consistently without aggravating his injury. I think one problem with small players is they have to stress their bodies more to hit HRs. He should stick to being a contact hitter, his body won’t stand up to swinging for the fences.

Sproat is a bust so far. It looks like Jett Williams has a chronic wrist problem and may be damaged goods. So all the applause for what a genius Matt Arnold was for this deal may have been premature. Peralta didn’t have a great year, but maybe he would have been better if he had stayed in Milwaukee. I think Sproat needs a sport psychologist. Murphy’s tough love might have broke him, unlike Gasser who responded.

This is a good article. Thank you. I pay for an Athletic subscription and they barely cover the Brewers. So I appreciate an in depth analysis like this. If I were you I wouldn’t respond to negative comments. Life is too short.

Joey is hitting .281/.316/.483 his last 30 games. .333/.396/.646 his last 15 games. A Hamilton/Ortiz platoon is adequate. Ortiz’s defense is stellar. I am not in favor of this trade. I think any pitching help will be overpriced this year. If it’s affordable, fobit, but I don’t think it will happen.

Is Jett Williams really in the future? Is his wrist strain minor or an aggravation of his 2024 surgery? Trying to hit HRs with a small frame is tough on your wrists.

I love Wild Bill, but I don’t like throwing bats, or excessive celebration after a HR. I’m sure he was very happy. But the Marlins were gut punched, don’t kick them when they’re down. I’m 70. When we played sandlot ball, throwing a bat was an automatic double play. We were only kids, but we knew if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

It was sad watching Counsell mismanage Keston Hiura. I was against bringing Pratt up, but if he’s going to stay up, he couldn’t have a better manager than Murphy. The Brewers in general are getting away from good swing decisions and swinging for the fence. Get back to take what they give you.

I bet Brandon Lockridge will be more careful in the future. Frelick is not as reckless as he was. The best ability is availability.

“The people in this room matter” rings a little hollow when they just tossed Caleb Durbin and Isaac Collins aside. I’m used to them trading away veterans up for FA, but trading ROTY candidates is new.

I’m resigned to accepting bites at the apple, without hoping for a World Series championship. The Brewers can’t win a WS unless their is significant payroll disparity reform. I’m 69, it probably won’t happen in my lifetime. Maybe the fact that the MLBPA President couldn’t keep his hand out of the till, or keep it in his pants will speed up reform, but I doubt it.

Angel’s fans say he was benched five times by Ron Washington for not running out singles, forgetting how many outs there were, making errors on routine plays. I hope Murphy has his Taser charged up. Durbin was a clutch player who left it all the field. Maybe the pitching obtained makes the trade worthwhile, but I don’t like how Milwaukee sports media feels it necessary to denigrate Durbin to justify the trade.

Bad signing. He’s on the decline. He has character issues. I liked Caleb Durbin.
