The latest brewers run has shown us that it is better to sign multiple lower priced pitchers than go after one big name high priced veteran. Those players are just too risky for a team like the Brewers. We have many internal options, but I'm hoping for a few projects and minor league vets to be signed.... Maybe another unsuspecting trade, where someone sarcastically proclaims "Woah solvd! World series here we come". which after yesterday says a lot.

I would have loved to see Woody start game 4 and give them a few innings. Just glad he got a chance to play in the world series.

Game 2; after the error by Simpson

Do you let Senzatela finish this game?

Top of the 5th.

Its gotta be Woody tomorrow. May as well play in to all this good Ju Ju.

Have the Brewers had a MilB player of the year before?

Yeah with 2 games left and an open 40 man spot, they have options. They could also give Zamora/Garcia a cup of coffee. They are both going to be minor league free agents so not a concern if they DFA them after the season.

Nice job on your predictions! A couple look pretty good. Ortiz's fWAR is 2.9. You were not bold enough on Bauers. He is the NL's best first baseman in 2026. Who would have guessed that Seigler would have a higher wRC+ (102) over Durbin (100), just not for the Brewers. The Brewers were smart to get value out of Durbin. He ended up being equivalent to Ortiz and that made room for Pratt who has looked fantastic.

I'm not convinced the platoon split you mention in the majors is likely to continue. In AAA this year, he had a 842 vs LH and a 810 vs RH. Although in his career he has been better against RHs though not dramatically. I'll risk Lara vs LH over Mitchell or Frelick going forward.

I'm still not clear on why the Brewers are encouraging this development approach. If he is not going to retain this trait then why do it. He just needs to correct it next year. Maybe its just 3D chess, but it does not make sense to me.

So what your saying is he is consistently inconsistent in his in-year performance. 😃

The Mets with 90 wins is pretty entertaining. Seems like we do need to play the season and not just rely on who has the best offseason.

The Brewers represent well here...

I agree that Chourio defense has been very good this year. His all around game has improved as well, but at the same time you could say he's been remarkable consistent his first three years in the majors. That's impressive for a guy coming up as a teenager. He has hit exactly 21 HRs each year (hopefully he will have a few more this year). His wRC+ is 119, 112, and 122. His OPS is 791, 770, and 810. Again, he is better this year than previously but its incremental. He did already start at a pretty high level to begin his career, so it wont take too much to achieve superstar level. He is moving in the right direction for sure.
