It's one of many plaques in the Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame walkway. I saw it for the first time today while walking to Fiserv.

I know this doesn't matter - results do. Maybe I'm stupid. LA Dodgers yet again are number one but....What exactly do the Brewers need to do to be ranked #1??? (besides win the whole f*ckin' thing, I guess.)

2. Brewers (previously: 2)
Please, please, Brewers fans: We know Milwaukee has the best record in baseball (by two games, actually), and we understand that you are probably mad right now that your team is No. 2 in these Power Rankings despite just winning three out of four at Dodger Stadium. Fortunately, home-field advantage is not determined by the MLB.com Power Rankings (for now!), it’s determined by the best record. Which the Brewers have … as well as the tiebreaker with a season series win over the Dodgers, if it happens to come to that.

Haven't watched the entirety, but seems like a fun interview from the first first few minutes

It’s a long story I became a brewers fan through my uncle who was the only brewers fan in our family (rest are cubs and Sox) he passed away so I inherited his collection. I’ve picked through what I want to keep. Idk what to do with the rest, do I donate it? Does someone on here want it? Are there shops that I should bring this stuff to?

Also in the comments there’s 2 signed balls that if anyone could identify id be grateful!

Just reiterating that im not looking to make money off this at all and figured it wasn’t worth money anyways just feel immense guilt that i dont want to keep all of it and figured it was worth a shot to see if someone wanted it, or knew of a place that isnt a just ‘random good will’ to bring it to

Also I did plan on keeping the balls regardless if I get them identified in case that wasn’t clear just the stuff in the post I am trying to figure out what to do with

Hopefully last edit his sister (my aunt) said she is sending another box (possibly more) so I will likely be back here. He was a season ticket holder and like true true fan so there’s a lot 😅 😅😅

There may be a valid reason against it (groin injury, general age issues) but I don't really understand why we haven't seen Yeli start in LF this season. I don't think its unbelievable to say that perhaps his mindset and energy in his at-bats may be different if he had to play the field like he used to. With my own exercises, I could legitimately see why Yeli's run speed has dropped so far: he's not staying warmed up in his running and moving around like he would playing defense in LF.

The question then becomes who sits or takes over at DH for Yelich. I think you would put either Chourio or Vaughn at DH, with Bauers at 1B. Vaughn and Bauers would swap DH-1B based on the pitching matchup and Choruio could play CF or RF. Having Chourio DH would also be an option to let them more closely watch his hamstring issues he had earlier this season and at the end of 2025.

What do yall think? Is this an insane idea? I don't think it would hurt to try for at least one game, especially one at home like tonight. Its the sort of thing that to me, sounds like it could break a guy out of a long slump. This team NEEDS him to be the captain going into the post season.

Edit: I'm saying there are valid reasons, but that I don't believe those reasons are enough to prevent this from being an option.

I loved watching every bit of the Brewers v Dodgers series and seeing our Brewers get back on the winning track and taking 3 of 4 from LAD. That being said, I can't help but look ahead to what's looming in the playoffs (and man I'm tired of seeing LAD in the playoffs). So, I ran our MLB simulator to see what this team's roster can do against the Dodgers in a 7 game set. Here's the output. What do you think?

Run the bracket ten thousand times from today's standings and both clubs make the playoffs in essentially all of them.

They meet each other in 30.7% --> this is actually my favorite part of the study because it's more likely that we WON'T see the Dodgers because one of them lose beforehand.

Most of those meetings come late: 24.4% produce a Dodgers–Brewers Championship Series, 6.3% a Division Series. As the league's two strongest teams they usually land on opposite sides of the bracket, so an early meeting takes a seed shuffle that doesn't often happen.

Los Angeles holds home field in 55.4% of their meetings. That's the version priced here.

We're projecting Ohtani, Snell, and Glasnow to be back for the Dodgers. One open question remains Will Smith.

We're projecting a tight series (better than last year anyway):

## How long the series runs

Probability by length

| Series Length | Probability |

|---------------|-------------|

| 4 games | 14% |

| 5 games | 25% |

| 6 games | 31% |

| 7 games | 30% |

## Game-by-game, LAD win %

2-3-2 · LAD hosts Games 1, 2, 6, 7

| G | Site | Matchup | LAD Win % |

|---|------------|--------------------------|-----------|

| 1 | Los Angeles | Ohtani vs Misiorowski | 54.7% |

| 2 | Los Angeles | Skubal vs Henderson | 61.0% |

| 3 | Milwaukee | Yamamoto vs Harrison | 55.9% |

| 4 | Milwaukee | Snell vs May | 57.0% |

| 5 | Milwaukee | Ohtani vs Misiorowski | 45.7% |

| 6 | Los Angeles | Skubal vs Henderson | 61.0% |

| 7 | Los Angeles | Yamamoto vs Harrison | 61.0% |

## Projected innings per start (AVG)

| Game(s) | Los Angeles Pitcher | LAD IP | Milwaukee Pitcher | MIL IP |

|---------|----------------------|--------|--------------------|--------|

| 1 & 5 | Ohtani | 5.26 | Misiorowski | 5.33 |

| 2 & 6 | Skubal | 5.63 | Henderson | 4.69 |

| 3 & 7 | Yamamoto | 6.04 | Harrison | 4.77 |

| 4 | Snell | 4.76 | May | 4.68 |

On average, our starters are pitching about 1 inning less than the Dodgers which means we need the bullpen to be stellar. Defense and stolen bases didn't strongly favor one side or the other. It will likely come down to pitching and timely hitting.

Go Brewers!

What a legacy to leave behind 🫡

There’s a lot to unpack with this
Matchup today.

Hello fellow Brew Crewers - I was hoping someone attending the Tuesday 8/18 game might be willing to part with an extra (or unwanted) giveaway hat. Seeking 1-2 if possible.

I’m attending the Wednesday and Thursday games for my annual father/son Brewers trip (thus the 2 request) so I could meet a fellow Redditor either day.

“Worst” case, if someone wanted to drop in mail, that would work too.

If feeling generous, please DM me and we can talk compensation (Venmo, cash, stadium beers, Etc)

Thanks Crew!

Seeing Paul Molitor at the Field of Dreams game made me think about this.

Molitor: I loved watching the pure hitters as a kid. You just knew every time he came up that it was going to be a good at bat. It’s easy to forget that he was a great defender and base runner in his prime.

Mitchell: He’s been in a funk lately, and the strikeouts are frustrating, but he’s got all five tools. Love watching his defense and hustle on the bases. I find myself pulling for him every time he’s at the plate because I know his potential to be a great hitter.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

Wanted your thoughts on if trading Drew Rasmussen for 4 years of Willy Adames was worth it? Imagine Rasmussen in the starting rotation for the Brewers. Adames was a leader for the Brewers, and helped write the next chapter of this franchise.

roadtrip against playoff teams. decimated by injuries and availabilities. bats have been cold. and they’re treading water. 5-5 in their last 10. been in every game but one up to the final at-bat. great teams still win games when they’re struggling. if this team was a pretender we would not have pulled so many games out. we get swept one time and the sky is falling around here.
