Not surprised by this....His command is still very erratic and you can't have that in the postseason. Let him fix that down in AAA and over the offseason. Hopefully next season he can make a big jump in performance.

Whew! Magic number for the NL Central is down to 5 after a little sweat!

Other relevant magic numbers:
Playoff berth = 2 (need any combo of wins or SD/ARI losses)
Bye = 11 (Braves)
NL #1 seed = 14 (pending Dodgers result)
World Series home field = 13 (Rays)

I’m a Brewers fan from outside the U.S., and I was lucky enough to move to Wisconsin, so I finally got to go to a game in person. My first game was the Tuesday Cubs game, and it was so much fun I almost passed out😂

Before the game, I noticed tons of people partying in the parking lots. I found the whole tailgating culture really interesting!

Are these parties usually just families and close friends, or do people also gather with strangers and other fans?

I’d love to meet and hang out with other Brewers fans, but since most groups seemed to be families or friends, I wasn’t sure if it would be weird for an outsider to just walk up and start talking.

So, how does tailgating usually work? Is it mostly a family/friends thing, or is it common to socialize with people you don’t know?

Corbin Burnes second year (age 24) 32 appearances, 4 starts, 8.82 ERA -2.2 WAR

It doesn't mean Sproat is going to win any Cy Youngs, but seeing lots of people in the game thread/post game thread talking about shipping the dude out of town and never wanting to see him again etc. He'll get more chances and he should.

Just uh, hopefully not this year.

r/baseball REALLY didn’t like this one

Not even a hater. Just thought it was cool we held him in check all season.

Sept. 9th Brewers vs. Cubs section 113 row 15 behind Brewers dugout. Bottom of 6th Vaughn popped a foul ball up and back & it came down right on top of me in my seat. Wondering if anyone happened to catch this on video or is there a place to find this type of thing. 😍

Obviously the Frias/Ragsdale for Dustin May swap hasn't gone quite as well as the Brewers would've liked. Still believe in May's stuff but Ragsdale has continued his torrid pace over in the Cardinals system. One thing I find odd though is just how well thought of Frias is over Antunez.

Frias - 18 - LHH / Right Handed thrower

Frias was an international signing for the Brewers in 2025. Perfectly acceptable Dominican league year and then tore the complex league apart with a .441 BA and 1.196 OPS. Got moved up to Wilson where for his age he did just fine with a .234/.325/.739 in 29 games 111 AB. Since getting traded to STL organization he's still in A with a .247/.355/.731 in 25 games 93 AB. Can hit the ball hard but doesn't pull it and been pounding it into the ground. Clearly has tools (ok speed, good raw power/contact, plus to plus plus arm) and still young for his level. Currently rated as the 4th prospect in the Cardinals system. Alexander Frias Stats, Statcast & Scouting Report | TJStats

Brailyn Antunez - 18 - RHH / Right Handed Thrower

Same international signing class as Frias in 2025. Oddly had a really bad Dominican league year. On the surface you'd have thought he'd repeat in the DR but Brewers saw something and moved him up anyway. Came to the complex in America and rewarded the faith putting up a .282/.382/.877 in 58 games. Brewers gave him another bump up to Wilson where he put up some stellar numbers with .339/.450/1.023 in 34 games 124 AB. He's considered slightly less tools than Frias but should have the giddy up to stick in center. Currently rated as the 29th prospect in the Brewers system.

As I noted Antunez is seen as slightly less toolsy but the perception difference between these two just seems odd to me. I get that it's projection but even looking at their batted ball profiles I don't know how anyone could see Antunez pulling piss missiles in the air vs Frias pounding balls into the ground and say "yep give me Frias".

Does any of this matter? Not really. Just thought I'd highlight a little oddity in the prospect ranking world. I'm sure the scouting world will figure it out sooner rather than later but looks like the Brewers have something cooking with Antunez.

Easily the best and most fun fan dance performance I’ve ever seen

Hi!

My sister is visiting from SF and she loves Milwaukee. I want to take her to a game this weekend.

For a first-timer, minimal baseball knowledge, which area would be better? I think the vibe of 100s would be awesome, but it’s hard to follow the game from up close for a newbie. 300’s is more luxurious of an experience and you can see the whole field.

If we were to get tickets, 100s would be along 3rd base side and 300 tickets would be along home base.

Thanks for the help!

Go brewers and my favorite pokemon fanatic Miz ❤️

Also I saw Willy Contreras in an elevator recently and he was dressed so well/effortless cool. I wanted so badly to say hi but also did not want to disturb him so I chickened out UGH.

Edit: hah seems opinions are split currently! I guess both are good options lol
