"Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames extended his home run streak to five games to tie a team record as he belted a three-run shot in the first inning of Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Adames tied the mark set by Jeromy Burnitz in 1997 and Eric Thames in 2017 as the only players in franchise history to accomplish the feat.

It was also the 13th three-run homer of the season for Adames, as he joins Ken Griffey Jr. (1996) as the only players in major league history to do so"

Chourio with a Grand Salami! ROTY!!!!

9-3 Brewers.

That gamble to sign Chourio to an 8 year, 80 million contract may end up ranking up there as one of the best Brewer contracts ever.

They would have gotten him for 3 years very cheaply (maybe about 3 million total), but even if he just repeats what he did this year the next two years, they'd have been looking at 15 million a year or more for the final 3 years or arbitration. Those final two years of the contract will likely be one of the best values in baseball at 10 million a year.

If Chourio would have hit the open market when he was 26 years old (instead of 28), what would be get if he just stays consistently this good? 8 years and 300 million?

An amazing season, so far and as others here have noted, the Crew are doing this without Yelich, Woodruff, Hader and Burnes. Whodathunk? Pat Murphy has got to get Manager of the Year!

And without Williams for well over half the year - and without Miley. Don't forget about losing Gasser, Uribe, or Hoby Milner (who had a 1.82 ERA for Milwaukee last year in 73 games).

Of the guys that ranked in the top 12 for at-bats in a Brewer uniform in 2023, the Brewers currently only have 4 of them.

Of the guys who ranked in the top 14 in appearances as pitchers last year, the Brewers only have 7 of them right now.

They did all this despite only signing one big-money free agent (Hoskins got 12 million).

They got Adames by trading two pitchers that aren't even playing this year.

They got Contreras because the A's wanted Esteury Ruiz instead.

Chourio is flat out locked in right now.

If he keeps playing like this, no disrespect to Skenes or Merrill, but he'll win Rookie of the Year.

His last 55 games (tonight included):

219 AB, 40 runs, 72 hits, 16 doubles, 2 triples, 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 12/14 stolen bases, 16 walks, 36 strikeouts. .329 AVG/.382 OBP/.584 SLG/.967 OPS.

That comes out to 646 at bats, 118 runs, 212 hits, 47 doubles, 6 triples, 35 home runs, 124 RBI, 35 stolen bases, 47 walks, 106 walks in a full season.

MP2 is right. He's approaching Christian Yelich MVP level of play. Yeli had a 1.000 OPS when he won it.
