Brewers Exec Cam Castro Named A's General Manager
Turning2 replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Can’t begrudge a guy moving up in the world, but losses like this start to add up quick -
He struggled initially, then started finding his footing from what I could tell. The numbers might indicate otherwise, but I think he is trending in the right direction at the higher level. They should be a fun pair of power bats in a couple years,.

It astonishes me how little people regard Blake Burke. He constantly gets overlooked. Everyone is enamored with Fischer’s power to the point of whistling past the graveyard regarding his K rate. Burke is the much better option with his combination of hitting for power and respectable average, and ability to steal bases. For that matter, Luke Adams is even more the forgotten man. Groom Fischer to replace Yelli at DH.

BREAKING: Brewers Trade For Dustin May And JoJo Romero
Turning2 replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Romero impressed me when he pitched against the Brewers. I was glad when they brought him in. Was pretty meh with May and Senzatela, but they served their roles. -
Can you say… momentum !!!
-
Another frickin error
-
Work the damn count, foul off pitches. Not much of that tonight
-
Nice to break the ice, but dammit .. that’s not Brewers ball running into outs and looking at strike 3

Opinions on Hamilton were discussed in my thread a couple weeks ago
-
My wife said “that’s OK, he’ll just make up for it with his bat”… and there it is
-
OK, never played around with that. I just assumed if it wasn’t a template that there would be more variation in design. Lots of people make these and they all look the same style wise. Same color schemes, fonts, graphics etc.

Is there an AI template generating all these banners or whatever they are called?

Theme song for tonight.. “No Quarter” by the mighty Zeppelin

There is occasionally an outlier, an exception, an anamoly, a once in a blue moon. It is foolhardy to rely on it but delicious when it pays a visit.

For some guys, being emotionally demonstrative helps them. For others it takes them out of their game. I have no idea how it is with May. He may simply be pitching to his ceiling as a middle of the rotation vet either way.
-
Really have to wonder if Tampa will show any interest, any fight tonight. I would hope every professional athlete would have competitive spirit and pride as their biggest motivational tools. But geez.... I don't know. They might roll over pretty quickly tonight.

On the flipside... I boycotted, or simply just tuned out MLB from around 1986 until late 2022 just after the Hader trade. We were in the process of relocating back to WI and I had reached a point of "if you can't beat'em (MLB unlevel playing field, free agency, players team hopping, Players' Union) might as well join'em)... so happy, grateful I got back on board without being a 2026 Johnny come lately.

About a month and a half ago, I turned to my wife and said, "I finally, actually now literally Brewlieve they have the horses to win it all. Not that they necessarily will, but they have as good a shot as anyone, they can compete and beat anyone". I did not feel like that last year, and I didn't feel like that on July 30th. I felt like they needed some unlikely things to break big their way last year. A month and a half ago I felt like they could dictate the game instead of being dictated too. They have had some lucky breaks here in the postseason, but they didn't need them.
-
I didn't take it in any way negative. Just thought it was an astute way you portrayed it.
-
Sure, it can be both. There are individuals who got hot at the right time. Others maybe not so much. Collectively as a unit, I think they are playing their best baseball. But this is all nitpicking and subjective in the very best scenario possible - we win either way!
-
I was just thinking of starting a thread about that. Will the pendulum begin to swing back towards more traditional, foundational baseball? It might for the majority of the league which fits in that small market category. They might at least attempt to, but it's not a simple matter. It takes a top to bottom makeover in organizational philosophy. Acquiring the right talent evaluators at the lower levels, hiring the right coaches at those levels developing those skills etc. The big markets will continue on, business as usual. Spend stupidly, buy the best power hitters and swing away. They will do that because the average, ignorant, casual "fan" digs the long ball just as much as the chicks, and so does corporate MLB behemoth. Homeruns will always be good for business. Sure, there is a lot of swing and miss that comes with that. That suits the casual fan just fine. Many of them are glued to their phones and betting apps most of the game anyway, and only bother to look up when certain hitters come up or a big play happens, they watch the replay and cheer like they are a real ball fan. Small ball, winning the Brewers way, often means the game hangs on an inning by inning, pitch by pitch basis. Casual fans don't have the attention span for that. They want the big bang, the short lived, instant gratification of the big bomb a few times a game from the guys they see on Sportscenter or their video games.

Good point, and I think it is accurate to say it that way rather than they got hot at the right time. They have been hot pretty much all year. At the moment, the biggest moment... they are consistently playing their best baseball for this stretch of games

Let’s go hitters
