Dinner was a smattering of leftover side dishes tonight (corn, beans, watermelon, salad), with no "main course" available in the fridge.
12yo referred to the meal as a "bullpen game" and for the first time, I really believe I might be a good father.

Fun Fact: Jack Gohlke was a senior on the Pewaukee High School team that handed Tyler Herro his final loss in high school. Now he's coming for Herro's college team, too.

Milwaukee has never won a championship (MLB and NBA, anyway) on its own soil. The 1957 Braves won Game 7 in Yankee Stadium. The 1971 Bucks finished a sweep in Baltimore. This ... has literally never happened in this town.

Last April, they won the 50/50 raffle at a #Brewers game. It was enough money to try another round of fertility treatment.
Their little boy was born in February, and he'll attend his first MLB game Monday.

Every fear that going to an arbitration hearing against Corbin Burnes could harm his relationship with the Brewers was founded.
“There’s no denying that the relationship is definitely hurt from what [transpired],” Burnes said.

A short Brandon Woodruff story. You may not find it all that unusual, I don’t know. Last summer, my 11yo was in a baseball camp in Brookfield. He’d done it a few times, just a week of stations and drills and such …

Milwaukee's three aces are such an amazing development story. Freddy, acquired at age 18 in a lottery-ticket trade. Corbin Burnes, who was unplayable in 2019. Brandon Woodruff, an 11th round pick. You'd trust all three to start G1 of a playoff series. #Brewers

The #Brewers social/new media team was run by geniuses, and the team's fan experience will be MARKEDLY worse without it.
I'm not being hyperbolic, I think Caitlin and Aaron are geniuses. They set the bar for what's possible in pro-sports social content.

I realize this isn’t completely novel. But it does fit with the impression I have of Woodruff over his years in Milwaukee. Just a genuinely kind soul. He also shoves as a pitcher. What a tremendous bummer to mark the possible end of his tenure here.
