Who knew our best two starters would be some guy we stole from Baltimore and another guy who played for food in some Central America League? Sure hope Stearns can find another starter this year.
Tough loss today.

I got nothing for Ramon Flores. I know he is probably out of position in CF, but he does not have outfield instincts. Also a ****ty hitter. To bad Broxton can't hit and Lirano got hurt.
Agreed on Ramon. Weak hitter with no plus side anywhere. Is Hernan Perez a plus upside yet? They sure seem content to let him hold a roster spot while seeing the field with more frequency.
Clock is ticking on Middlebrook trial.
Perez is a perfect bench guy right now. Capable with the stick and has the glove that plays multiple positions, infield and outfield. He's really improved as a player.
Middlebrooks currently, and will always, suck.
Good to see. Outfield, outside of Braun, has been turrible
Your Domingo Santana Update: RBI 1B in the @TimberRattlers 5th. SUN: 1-for-2, BB, RUN, RBI. 2 games: 3-for-6, 2 RUNS, 2RBI. #Brewers

Lester's unwillingness to throw to first is comical.
not good
Domingo Santana scratched from lineup for today's game at Wisconsin. Still feeling tenderness in elbow/forearm.

I'm starting to think that Nieuwenhuis may be able to handle ML pitching after all. Hell, even Broxton is making a run for the Mendoza line.
Counsell calling for the two base error on Segura was a real dick move
The new Kid really had a good game last night. Could have had 4 hits with a little less D.
Broxton must be on PED's. Monster blast to center.
Broxton should start every day. Flores should be updating his resume
Davies has my permission to kick Scooter in the nuts for being bad at baseball
Looks like Wei-Chung Wang has been promoted to AAA after a solid AA season.
Could it be... #WCW coming back to Milw in 2017.
for nostalgia
Goodness Braun
Peralta with two good games in a row now. Reports had him running it up there in the upper 90s.
Despite the up and coming guys IMO they still need guys like Peralta and Nelson to step up. I think Davies is a keeper but beyond that the starting rotation needs to be solid.
Can the Brewers just keep Nieuenheis around for whenever they play the Cubs?
11-31, 5 dongs vs the Cubs in 2016
Just chatted with two former #Brewers â Derrick Turnbow, who lives in Seattle now, and Lyle Overbay, who lives in Olympia. Great guys.

I'll give you 3 guess what Turnbow does...
Turnbow works for investment firm and Overbay is looking after his six children. https://t.co/hMiydMKnIf

Keon CRUSH Broxton!
Big come from behind win. Kids are showing some real fight. Building confidence. Thornburg getting Cano to seal the win yuge.
No, it's really just pissing away money
I'm told the Brewers plan to send one of their SoCal scouts to Tim Tebow's workout next week. At minimum, it's due diligence.
â Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) August 23, 2016
3 wins in a row! Nice to see kids playing with confidence. Perez yuge triple on a 98 mph 0-2 fastball. Pregame piece with Darnell Coles was great. He is making a difference with so many hitters.
The emergence of Broxton has been nothing short of amazing. The guy is quickly becoming a legit starting CF and he has all the tools.
The other guy that's killing it is Tyler Thornburg. He's been just about unhittable and maybe they have found his niche as a closer?
Their record is awful, but there is a lot to get excited about with the Brewers. Very impressed with how Stearns and Co. are building this team
Face palm for Maldy executing a rundown
About time the Brewers get some revenge against the Cards.
Well, it looked like revenge after the 7th. But alas, another loss.
Brewers won waiver claim on Yasiel Puig. Apparently there were trade rumors for Braun to LA as well.
They can revisit the talks in the offseason.
Confirmed: Milwaukee will receive INF-OF Ryan Cordell as player to be named later in Jonathan Lucroy, Jeffress deal. Post coming soon
â Evan Grant (@Evan_P_Grant) September 5, 2016
From this winter16) Ryan Cordell, OF, Grade C+: Age 23, hit .311/.376/.528 in the Cal League but just .217/.263/.335 with 12 walks, 73 strikeouts in 221 at-bats in the Texas League, stole 20 bases with 18 homers overall. Power/speed combo is enticing and everyone loves his tools, but Double-A pitching exposed holes in his swing that were masked in High Desert. Another guy with mixed opinions from observers: some think he will blossom in another year or two, others donât think heâll develop sufficient skills to make the tools work. Could rank as high as 8 if you believe in his ability to improve, or 28 if you donât.
I guess Stearns thinks you can never have enough outfielders
Braun, Broxton and Santana start in the OF next year. Brinson needs a spot sooner than later (I keep texting Stearns to get Santana a first basemens glove for Christmas, but he insists the candlesticks are the right gift). Ray, Clark and Phillips are also talented OF in the system leaving this kid little room. Maybe Stearns sees a first basemen in one of these guys (Santana or Cordell would make pretty big targets).
He's the Texas #6 prospect, might not crack our top 20. Not a bad third player in the trade, but man, would I have liked some more pitching to come into the system.
I was wrong, he comes in at #18
Puig in Milwaukee.
According to SI he was placed on revocable waivers and the Dodgers pulled him back. He will rejoin the Dodgers on Friday.
Oh, the possibility.
just doesn't sound right.
Disjointed thoughts: Believed #Brewers would get more than Cordell as the PTBNL, but he's a decent piece. Hitting .264/.319/.484 w/ 19 HR.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Lacks potential impact in the upper levels due to swing issues; however, I think he has a great chance to be a big leaguer in some capacity.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Defense, arm, and positional flexibility give him a pretty high floor. Reports suggest makeup is good, too.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Acquisition of Cordell continues a very prevalent organizational preference for bats over arms, targeting arms (non-Ortiz) in lower levels.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Preferring to pay discounted price for arms in hopes they break out (such as Freddy Peralta), rather than paying high price for volatility.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Probably speaks to how much the club likes Luis Ortiz, more than anything.
â J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) September 6, 2016
Wily Peralta and the Crew put one on the Cubs! They are way back and these kids keep playing hard and working. CC and staff doing a good job teaching how to win.
Kids pull another win tonight!!!!! Broxton looking like a player. Villar ain't bad either. Cards next.
Sweet catch, no video on MLB
