You shut your dirty mouth.
The Brewers are fueled by good vibes and the Power of Friendship.
Milwaukee is such an underrated Chicago suburb

The ending to Jays-Dodgers yesterday was wild.
Jays were down 3-2 through 7, but Vlad Jr and Barger hit back-to-back homers in the 8th to go up 4-3. In the bottom half, they have two on and two out and go to their closer Hoffman, who hasn’t pitched in a week because of the demolition of the Rockies earlier in the road trip. Hoffman promptly walks the next two batters to tie the game, then goes behind 3-0 to the next hitter before getting him to pop out.
In the 9th, the Dodgers go to THEIR closer, Vesia, to get the bottom third of the order. But Vesia is a lefty, and the first batter up is 2B Ernie Clement, who has one of the biggest platoon splits I’ve ever seen and turns into Joe Fucking Morgan against lefties, and of course he sends the first pitch into the left field seats to make it 5-4.
So the Jays have their closer already in the game to face the bottom part of the order, no problem, right? Lol no. Hoffman walks the first two, then they lay down a bunt to move the runners over. Now Alex Call, the number 9 hitter, is up, with Shohei on deck, so better go after him, right? LOL NO. Hoffman walks Call on four pitches. Overall, Hoffman walked five of the seven batters he faced and threw only ten strikes in 33 pitches. John Schneider has seen enough and yanks Hoffman.
So now it’s bases loaded and one out and Shohei is up and Mookie is on deck and I’ve just about given up. The Jays were down to only two pitchers in the bullpen since their starter only went three innings, and they go with 23-year-old rookie lefthander Mason Fluharty, with his zero career saves, to get the two biggest outs of the season so far.
And surprise, surprise, he strikes out Shohei with a beautiful sweeper and gets Betts to ground to third into a fielder’s choice at second, Jays win 5-4, never in doubt. Dodgers left six men on base combined in the last two innings despite never getting a hit. Hoffman picks up the win, of course.

I just looked this up, coming into the year, his career splits vs right/left were about the same. This year though, checks out.
A Hawaii real estate investor and broker are suing Shohei Ohtani, claiming the Los Angeles Dodgers star and his agent got them fired from a $240 million luxury housing development on the Big Island’s coveted Hapuna Coast that they brought him in to endorse.
The suit says the developers spent 11 years working on the deal and “as part of a bold marketing strategy” signed an endorsement deal in 2023 with Ohtani, “one of the most high-profile endorsements imaginable."
The suit said Balelo “quickly became a disruptive force,” threatening to pull Ohtani from the deal if concessions weren’t made.
reminds me of noted cubs tormenter as a hitter Jim Abbott (2 career hits both are against the same cubs pitcher for 3 total RBI) [his only AB’s were for the 99 brewers which was his last season in the league]
there were claims abbott would hit homeruns in batting practice

Brice Turang is in the top 10 in MLB for average home run distance. And he’s tied with Schwarber and Alonso for most home runs in the NL this month.
Skenes had gone 24 starts this season without allowing a first-inning run, the second-longest streak to begin a season in MLB history; Bob Shawkey went 27 starts for the New York Yankees in 1923.
he got shelled and so did the rest of the pirates so he’s 7-9 with a 2.13 ERA King Felix finished below .500 in a season in his great years era during seattles offensive rampage of absolutely not scoring offensive runs. once 9-11 but that was a 3.45 ERA. His Cy Young was 13-12 at 2.27 ERA.
It’s absolutely wild someone has a worse W/L with a better ERA as a starter in this era. (and it’s not even white sox or rockies level of wtf)

There’s a restaurant (multiple locations) in Milwaukee called George Webb that, for decades, has promised free burgers if the Brewers win 12 games in a row. They did it once, in 1987 - I was at the 12th game.
Brewers won 11 in a row this year and the burger hype was huge. They missed it by one game. They had another chance today and finally got it. The burgers have been clinched and the city is going wild.

only because I get to correct a brewer fan, YOU ARE WRONG it’s twice they’ve given out the burgers, now is #3
2018 they won 12 in a row 8 reg season, 4 playoffs, they ended up giving up burgers and vouchers for later
I wonder if this was one of those type of promos when they thought of it they were like oh the brewers will never win 12 in a row.
meanwhile the Cubs would be in first place in the western divisions
they are 8 games back
The brewers are by far on pace for the best Brewers season ever.
Yeah, I know about that one, but nobody really counts it. Even on the broadcast today, the graphic only showed the one from 1987.
well the business counted it cause they gave the burgers away

Whenever you can ruin one of your marquee games by putting Bucknor behind the dish you just gotta do it.
Cubs catcher comes back off the 60 day DL and in the eighth inning is taken out by first base.
Yes, the base. I’m not gonna post the video it looks very not good but it’s the old could just be a sprain thing cause it’s baseball. (nothing broke but ow ow ow)
that’s quite the special brand of absolute dumbass
I do wish we’d fine people who use that number for the absolute most ridiculous reasons like that. It’s supposed to be an only if you really need to number to call ffs.
