Off topic a touch,but Brewers have a better record then the New York Mets in 9 of 10 of the last 10 seasons,with a 120+ game lead over that span .12.5 game average better then the big market Mets for a decade.Mets are a poster child for mlb organizations not to follow,and the Brewers r the Organization that all major sports organizations try to emulate,and the sports gods need to pay Milwaukee off with a World series Championship and that would set off an argument for the Brewers being the greatest and strongest professional sports organization in a long, long time and would b a great counter jab to these dream teams being bought by ownership groups,and showing what a true professional "team" champion looks like

Brewers wouldn't pay above compensation pick that Mets would need imo, which i wasn't aware of prior to reading this chat, so appreciate input & knowledge. It stinks,because Peralta value is its all time low,and worth sending only jett Williams for rental, and maybe add one Brewers prospect in #35---#50 range..His ability is still strong,and the adjustment players go through with either New York teams is real, and a bit tougher for pitchers,also the most underrated value in mlb and team sports imo is the clubhouse vibe,and Peralta is a blue chip clubhouse guy,and Mets organization continually throw money at team upgrades instead of bringing in character guys whobkive and die for baseball, the Mets have highest mlb payroll in 2026,and is 10million above Brewers,Tampa Bay, and White Sox combined. Peralta would b a huge pick up for eating innings, clubhouse leadership & playoff experience. Also could payoff in huge way by drawing big name free agents coming to Milwaukee if Peralta fits in to rotation without a hitch,and finishes strong and that seemless transition into the pitcher friendly Brewers organization is highlighted on national TV broadcasts during playoffs,which avid fans in baseball already know, but that theme continually pounded into these players/agents heads and a player friendly destination in milwauke,and not new york shouldn't b undervalued!! Go Crew,keep building that #1 rated farm system,and keep locking up these young guys long-term and thank u to the Milwaukee Brewers Organization for building a juggernaut! As a lifelong Crew supporter I never imagined this level of success with the mlb lack of a salary cap, andcu created this turnaround in aprox. under 10years,legendary work,and the most under appreciated ownership in MLB,and appreciate your dedication to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin Attanasio Family!!

I 100%agree,Haase has good plate discipline imo,but hard to get going offensively when u play once a week.Though it's hard to 2nd guess Arnold, Murphy & co.

Hope this move for Jansen can get Contreras a chance to heel his wrist and the other ailments catching causes. Giving him a long weekend off wouldn't be a terrible idea,or a week of DH-ing.Will need his bat come September/October. We all have seen the major drop off stats in offensive production from catchers after the all star break with Cal Raleigh's daily critique from media outlets how Judge will runaway with the AL mvp in the 2nd half

Priester is 8-0 since his last start in May, and the Brewers are 10-0 in his 10 starts since then(54/11 k/bb in that stretch),so should b a great match up! But then again Peralta/Priester/Woodruff/Miz have a combined 21-2 record since last week in May(201-47 k/bb in that stretch), complete dominance!! Team is 27-5 in these 4 starters appearances since last week in May.

Momentum is huge,your 100% right! Any worries of Misiorowski throwing 18pitches(1inn.) in all star game july 15th, 64 pitches(3.2inn.) on July 22nd for a total of 72 live pitches since july 8th going into tonight? Or am I so used to being disappointed that I'm looking for excuses? Because Miz rebounded after Mets loss,and then again after a leadoff homer to Ohtani to dominate. His mental game has been straight money so far imo.

State championship was in middle to late may in 2024,early june graduation, so being in Gainesville in July is very possible

Dubanewicz just got done winning his 4th straight Florida state championship in 2024.His high school teammate went in 5th rd to Rangers (Devin fitz-gerald).I'm not saying your wrong, as he could have been working out on UF campus

Has a player ever committed to a school like Underwood the day b4 the mlb signing deadline and rescinded the offer and signed with a major league club?

I would love to see a move for Abrams,but it's a pipe dream for a couple of reasons. The Brewers organization have consistently made tier3/tier4 type of player moves at the deadline for the last 6 years or so that they were contenders at the break. Trading multiple high end prospects is a major gamble for a small market team like Milwaukee. They have to maintain a low payroll and the only way to do that and stay competitive is promoting quality prospects to the big league squad and the team controlled contracts Also the Brewers and P.Murphy tend to create a team that gels on and off the field. Abrams was sent down to the minors in august of 2024 for lack of hustle/commitment, the final straw was after an all nighter at a casino gambling, ending 5.hrs before 1st pitch of a day game. I know he is young, and most likely learned from his mistake. Also the Nats have high end prospect Seaver King(ss) excepted to reach the majors the same time as c.Pratt. so maybe Quero/Myers/Meccage type of trade.

I agree,I have a problem with the 3rd down call of the packers running it right into the line.Other then that,MLF made the right call, Fg was good, we took the lead with 54sec, and bears only had 1 timeout. kickoff places them inside there own 20,then, a fluke horse collar, next play is a perfectly placed pass to Odunze for roughly 15 with him toe tapping, and then we miss about 3sacks on Williams if u include the horse collar play, and the oh so close grounding penalty, or should have been a sack. Then a bad timeout to set up there final play b4 kick imo, Brars have choked all year in high pressure situations, don't let them set up a play, and give them a breather imo,oh well! IM a die hard packers fan, but this team doesn't have that bond, and togetherness a team needs. Seems like a split locker room possibly, no leader

Williams is an elite closer who missed roughly 100games due to stress fractures in his back and returned in last week of july and had era of 1.25,saved 14 of 15 games to end the year in a bullpen that struggled around him when he returned, they were lights out prior to his return, but fatigue/injuries,and most seeing career high in innings pitched just fell off.Williams has a career era of 1.81,almost 4/1 k/bb ratio and still is only 30,not old for a closer.Plenty of teams will pay for an elite closer,and price will go up if u can gamble,and unload him at trade deadline.Hader,Williams,Clase,Iglesias,Hensley types r rare imo.Williams just had a horrible ending to 2024,as we all know,it happens,and sucks to live with all offseason. And half the league would love a closer,because as we know,especially u gamblers,at least 50% of all games r a 1-2 run difference in the 9th and also not a coincidence that Brewers have the majority of there playoff appearances over last 6-7 years in club history with the help of Hader&Williams,,

U can't blame Williams for the bullpen era rise in 2nd half of season,Williams came back in last week of july,had a 1.25 era,was 14/15 in saves.Megill&Hudson combined for 96 innings prior to Williams return, and only 24 combined innings after his return because of fatigue/injuries.Means gave up 13runs in 19innngs,Koenig 12runs in 23 innings, b.Wilson 15runs in 29inning,Milner 14runs in 27innings after Williams return(last week of july-end of September). I'm definitely for getting a nice return in trading Williams,but Devin is an elite closer,and I don't think that's debatable.Really sucked the Brewers season ended on William's rough outing, but closers blow saves,just horrible timing.

I agree,we will still have a plethora of speed,and a coach that will utilize that. Turang, Chourio, Mitchell, Black, Frelick ,Ortiz & Yelich we have for the long haul. Contreras and in 2 years tops Quero.so really only need to add right handed hitting 1st baseman down the road and maybe a shortstop when we lose Adames&Hoskins. And that's if Adams(1b), brown jr(ss), Wilken possibly at 1st don't pan out,but then we have a **** load of top tier prospects coming in '26 in Pratt(ss,3b,2b,1b),Boeve(3b,1b)& Bitonti (ss,2b) all with power. A ton of speed and contact guys who play in the middle infield and outfield coming in 2026-2029.So imo that window doesn't shut for a while, unless u trade a bunch of it for short term rentals at the deadline which is a horrible gamble for any small market organization. We r officially the Tampa Bay rays national league team who has made the playoffs 5of6 years and r getting stronger. I honestly would prefer to sell a Megill or Koenig as they r at there peak value and going to b 31 at start of 2025 season. Even Rea who is 34 and again, at his peak value,obviously if we could get a nice return. Have d.Williams,Uribe, Hudson, Paredes, Peguero, Meyers, Hall, and Miley, Gasser, Woodruff in 2025

Wasn't a plan,but good to get Capra some play at short, he looked good. The Brewers minor league system/coaches deserves a ton of credit, because the majority of call ups in 2024 have been guys ready to go and obviously very prepared and poised. It's also crazy that I expected the crew to add on runs in the spots that they didn't, last night, a feeling I never had in previous 5 years with the lack of offense w/ risp under counsell and the poor contact hitters we had then.This team is fun to watch on both sides
