Capra… I mean we’re almost to mid-May. There HAS to be someone that can produce more. Monasterio was more productive.

Yeli continuing to kill this team. Seems like a great guy, but the Brewers can't afford to have someone at his salary be this bad. So much soft contact.

7 HRs in 16 innings is comical

Feels that way from over here too...kinda missing Big Dick Bregman and King Tuck right now.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Yep, that one has really chapped me lately. If I hear Rock and Levering talk about the cribbage board one more time I'm gonna punch my TV. Half the game feels like an ad for what you can get at the park. Sophia interviewing Schelsinger every game is nauseating. "Hat in hand" kinda stuff.

Hey, maybe put a better product on the field and see if that helps. :dontknow:

For as much vitriol the team got for trading Hader, hardly knew he returned to MKE for the first time since the trade. Or did he return with SD in 2023?

Nope, you are correct. At least that's what I remember Levering saying a few days ago. I was kinda shocked as well. It's been a while since he was traded.
