Yes

No pinch run here?

Count me surprised…

Will be surprised if Contreras gets a good pitch to hit.

20 HRs in 36 games at Salt Lake City… .357 Avg, 1.233 OPS playing some 1B, it looks.

Will there still be a semblance of parking attendance? Gotta be. Will there still be several issues….seen and not foreseen with the new parking system? Absolutely. And backups are still going to happen for other reasons for years to come with construction on 94 too…that problem will be fresh next fall. I’m not sure this whole fiasco is worth the cost and effort when those two questions can be easily answered. It’s solving a problem kinda while creating several other ones of varying degree.

Our bullpen has never been deeper. Ever. Keeping some of these guys down in minors or IL…..wow. What depth. Elvis ERA 3.00, Milner, The Miz, Hall, Peredes, Yoho. Simply amazing.

Gotta be 3.

Now it is with us clinching season series over Cards…..u bet. Good call! Stellar.

Good pitch…hit hard

They must have stuck big money into this. Right…easy thing would be to wait until 2025. Interesting that the concert this weekend isn’t using it. And interesting that they wait til after summer weekend games to reinstate it. Ironically, they probably don’t need it til end of year as car back ups and sellouts will be minimal…. Until playoffs, that is.

Not deserving of a send down on an avg bullpen team….still played big innings for us. He’s up against it with the quality of arms this year.

It is a great opportunity for them…absolutely. For as good of a schedule that the Cubs have, it’s the opposite for the Cardinals- Brewers, Twins, Padres, Yankees, Brewers….and the Dodgers today.

Koenig strikes out the side…..great to have him going again. Tough to rank who is pitching the best in our pen right now.

Relentless….beating great teams even by playing flawed games. Tough team.

Haven’t seen or heard a word about this…. News to me.

I would be surprised if the Brewers move Turang and Ortiz, yes, to different spots next year. Figure it’s just Ortiz to SS and several possibilities at 3B in 2025, 2026….

Would hate to see that….but would love to win that too.

If the playoffs started next week, Myers and Rea get the first two starts and maybe Peralta in Game 3, with my preference of having an opener for him considering his bad first innings with the top of the order.

I have been reading an old book on County Stadium games and happenings there. I have to admit that most of the stories and games were new to me even though I had watched a lot of Brewers baseball there too. One that really interested me was a story on a game that took place July 4, 1974. The author had gone to the game specifically to see two people….18-year-old rookie SS Robin Yount and and a 69-year-old veteran. The author of “From the Braves to the Brewers” went on to say that Yount had a great day with a couple of great plays in the field and a few hits on a day the Brewers blew out the Indians 15-3. The 69-year-old veteran was a German-born high-wire performer named Karl Wallenda. He and his group, the Flying Wallendas made circus-like performances at large venues all across the world. Well, the story goes that on this 4th of July celebration, Bud and the Brewers hired him to perform about 20 minutes after the game. Karl was to walk a 700 ft long cable wire from the corners of the upper grandstand roof, over the playing field, at County Stadium. Karl ended up walking the wire to approximately midpoint and then did a headstand. His hat perhaps accidentally fell off his head… and then he pulled a baseball out of his pocket and dropped it to, of course a much younger but still early 40s, Bob Uecker! The story goes on to say that the Great Wallenda 4 years later fell to his death in Puerto Rico attempting to do something similar between two towers. Overall, I cannot quite comprehend this type of a stunt happening at a baseball game. I also have to think that Uecker has brought this up in a 10-2 type game in the 8th inning of his broadcast, but I do not recall it……Just an interesting thing to me that happened a mere 50 years ago.

So are you saying Milner could refuse to be demoted and potentially leave as a FA if optioned? I thought he would be the odd man out before (or Elvis)….not sure now.

Right…. Good trade because Arnold made it……No one is confusing this one with Vuc, Fingers and Simmons. We’ll see.

Who is starting tomorrow?
