Re: 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, Back to Back Champions!
I didn't think Anderson would get the no-no, but I thought he'd get a shutout. He kind of imploded in the 9th. Impressive game nonetheless. He was really mowing them down. About an hour in, it was already the 5th inning. My mom called me afterwards and said "The Brewers beat the Cubs 4-2, and I'm still disappointed. How can that be?"

The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/These-Walls-Could-Talk-Milwaukee/dp/162937203X">new Bill Schroeder book</a> is pretty entertaining (if you're a Brewers fan), and a quick read. Lots of stories I've never heard before, and some interesting behind-the-scenes info.

Brewers wore throwback powder blue uniforms for Philly's "70's Night" on Friday. Promptly lose 6-3.
They try again today with the powder blue. Continue to play like the 1976 Brewers. Lose 8-1.
How about they never wear the powder blue again?

Garza back on Tuesday, Peralta sent down.
I'm hoping Garza pitches well and they can dump him (and his contract and attitude) before the deadline. Just wishful thinking, as I doubt it'd happen. Should be an interesting trade season for the Brewers, though.

Now Giants are reportedly interested in Braun. But as he himself points out in the article, the rumor seems to be to trade him to whomever we're playing that day.

IMO, part of the issue is the Brewers don't NEED to trade Braun, and they're probably going to have to pick up some of his salary if they do - so why do it? Unless someone is really desperate. The teams they've written about also have long-term injured outfielders (Schwarber, Pence).
Lucroy has certainly upped his trade value this season. I'd be sad to see him go.
I don't think anyone currently on the roster is untouchable. How many guys are considered part of the future? Not sure Santana has cemented his status there. Nelson and Davies probably have, and maybe some of the bullpen.

Boo, Lucroy got traded.
Luc is still a Brewer! 
Dammit, his jerseys will stay full price.

Will Smith to San Francisco for prospects RHP Phil Bickford and C Andrew Susac (who has seen MLB experience).
Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress for prospects OF Lewis Brinson and RHP Luis Ortiz.
And with that announcement, I feel some ticket holders will be traded for empty seats in the waning weeks of the season.

Re: 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, Back to Back Champions!
Sad to see Lucroy go, but getting the top pitching prospect from both the Giants and Rangers plus the #5 OF prospect in baseball (according MLB)...there is also a PTBNL involved in the Lucroy/Jeffress deal.
Makes sense to me that they should get more than just 2 top notch prospects if its Lucroy AND Jeffress.

Potential PTBNL:
Rd-Name (Position) #MLB Texas Prospect Rank
<strike>2016 Draft picks
1-Cole Ragans (LHP) #7
2-Alex Speas (RHP) #11
3-Kole Enright (3B) #30</strike>
2015 Draft picks
2-Eric Jenkins (OF) #9
3-Michael Matuella (RHP) #15
6-Tyler Ferguson (RHP) #26
16-Tyler Phillips (RHP) #27
2014 Draft picks
3-Josh Morgan (SS) #14
4-Brett Martin (LHP) #10
6-Jose Trevino (C) #22
I did not include international prospects not on the 40-man roster...
COrrection, can't be someone from the 2016 draft.
