No dice with RISP so far tonight. Not a ton of chances, but getting no hits is rough.
-
Got through 5 with Henderson. Can roll him out for the 6th with his pitch count. Facing Crow-Armstrong with no one to lead off.
-
Turang really needs a reset after his terrible August.
-
Worked a little in the 4th inning against Bregman, but big for Henderson to put up a zero after getting a run back. Need those shutdown innings when making comebacks. Seeing the young pitchers get them is great to see.
-
KING VAUGHN! That was a blast.
-
Sometimes they hit your pitch. Henderson tends to give up solo shots so far due to keeping the walks down. Unfortunately, that one had a runner on by base hit.

Davey Nilsson: Thunder from Down Under. Nice for Magic Number 14.
-
Not how one would typically draw up a win in a Misiorowski start, but it’s another victory towards clinching the division and a potential top seed. Dominance being shown by the Brewers’ bullpen stands in great contrast to the Cubs’ relievers.

Adams as a "catch lightning in the bottle" move would be intriguing, though I don't know if adding another rookie to the roster would be to Murphy's liking compared to having a Lockridge or Bae available. Naylor as third catcher could also make sense. But isn't there something about his MLB service time where limiting the days on the MLB roster this season could ensure future control through 2030 instead of 2029? Keeping him in Nashville through the end of the AAA season on SEP 20 might hold him under that cap. The Brewers' season has six games left after SEP 20, which might allow him to be called up for the final week before the playoffs--or a little earlier, depending on the service time issue. So between a perceived bias towards veterans and the Naylor third-catcher idea, Adams might not be freed.

NL Central Discussion 2026
ReverendBrewmeister replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Lack of power in the lineup looks like the looming potential downfall in a playoff series. Last in the NL in home runs; 11th in slugging percentage. That type of instant offense, one-man rally potential, let alone the 3-run bombs, is an advantage for the other NL contenders: Dodgers, Cubs, Phillies, and Braves. -
Chance to steal the win in extras. Top of the order up in the 10th. Go get a crooked number.

I would like to have Bauers return, but him going to Anaheim for 2027+ would make a ton of sense. The Angels have Jorge Soler at DH/RF coming to the end of a big contract. Bauers certainly seems to love hitting in California. Having him and Trout as veterans in the clubhouse with their younger players would be optimal. I could definitely see Bauers getting a 3–5 year contract from the Angels and playing at home. He should get more money than the Brewers should prudently spend at that position, given the homegrown bats coming up at AA/AAA. That would leave a Vaughn at first base for 2027. Perhaps that brings a pairing with Burke as a platoon. Alternatively, the club could spend some of the money not going to Bauers on a 1-2 year "prove it" contract for a 1B/OF/DH sort. There's always the possibility of a trade (Contreras, Mitchell, Frelick?) that we don't see coming right now that could bring back a multi-year controllable bat.

Chalk up another win. Feeling like playoff baseball lately.
-
Got out of it with only one run conceded. Bit of a tightrope act not to give up the lead.
-
A zero for Senzatela in a high-leverage inning. Good to see. Will need more of those down the stretch.
-
Starting to look like the Brewers will need a metric crap ton of baling wire and duct tape to get through this West Coast trip. Definitely going to be hearing footsteps behind them in the standings.
-
Not how one draws it up before the game, but it’s another win to take the series.
-
Gotta get the walkoff here after Hall shuts down the 10th.
-
More RISP stats not to love: 1-for-9 through 9 innings. Have the opportunities. Just can’t seem to get the big hit after getting runners on base.
-
Need the bats to go off for a big crooked number.
-
Scratched out a win, which all count in the standings. Now if Mis can put up a good start, a series win is likely. Just can’t have the bats go silent like last week in Anaheim.
-
The discussion that no one wants to have is whether Yelich holding a roster spot becomes too much of a negative asset. If he is DH only and putting up a 0 WAR, that’s a tough way to eat up a 26-man roster spot. Might that mean a release sometime in 2027, eating the expensive remainder of the contract and turning it into dead money? If the active rosters are expanded to 28 in the upcoming CBA, that could change the calculations. Same with any salary cap/floor possibilities. Not a prediction that I’d want to make, but it may be something in consideration.
-
Sad to see what looks like a cliff more than a sloping hill for the backside of Yelich’s career. Being a DH only while putting up a 0 WAR starts to push the discussion into negative asset territory.
-
Mis might kill him, if he plunks him tomorrow.
-
1-for-4 with RISP after one inning of batting. Need some of those sequences to pay off with multiple RBI hits.
