Game Thread #136: Milwaukee Brewers (79-56) @ Cincinnati Reds (64-72)
![Game Thread #136: Milwaukee Brewers (79-56) @ Cincinnati Reds (64-72) Game Thread #136: Milwaukee Brewers (79-56) @ Cincinnati Reds (64-72)](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Tc5n-mHcEJU8174ikJcOrZsrfUI=/0x0:8640x4524/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25597778/usa_today_24116575.jpg)
Friday’s doubleheader was eventful for the Brewers. They had an extra innings game, a 10-run inning, an injury scare, and a streak of 14 scoreless innings by the pitching staff. Now, they have to follow that up in game three of the series against the Reds.
After rolling his ankle in the first game of yesterday’s doubleheader, Jackson Chourio is back in the lineup today. Before the game, he told reporters that he’s not feeling any pain after waking up this morning. Curt Hogg also reports that Brewer Hicklen has a locker in the clubhouse. With no transactions announced before tonight’s game, he appears to be one of the two September callups. DL Hall was returned to Nashville but is eligible to be called up tomorrow. He is not subject to the minimum 15 days in the minors since he was a 27th man for a doubleheader.
Frankie Montas will face his former team in tonight’s start. He faced some rough calls that went against him in his last start against the Athletics. On the other side is Fernando Cruz. This will be his second start of the season, and he likely won’t pitch very long. In his last start against the Athletics on Wednesday, he pitched just three innings and threw 42 pitches.
It’s a pretty normal lineup for the Brewers. Brice Turang, Chourio, and William Contreras lead the lineup, with Jake Bauers fourth and Willy Adames in his usual fifth spot. Sal Frelick gets the day off as Blake Perkins makes a start in center tonight, and Rhys Hoskins slides back down to the seventh slot. Garrett Mitchell and Joey Ortiz round out the lineup.
Tonight’s game is on Fox but it’s the secondary game with Braves-Phillies occupying the main slot. Both games are important as the Brewers and Phillies are currently tied for the second-best record in the NL. The Dodgers play the Diamondbacks later tonight and have a 1 1⁄2 game lead.

Former Bucks’ Crowder Still Unsigned Makes Old Trade Look Bad
![Former Bucks’ Crowder Still Unsigned Makes Old Trade Look Bad Former Bucks’ Crowder Still Unsigned Makes Old Trade Look Bad](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4800,h_2700,x_0,y_194/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/bucks_zone/01j6hzv9kcxwe3yzjja2.jpg)
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — With the 2024-25 season right around the corner, former Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder still hasn’t signed with any NBA franchise.
While there is still time left for a team to sign the former Marquette star to a deal to join them for training camp, the odds are slim with each passing day. Once a valuable rotational ”three-and-D” player, Crowder’s value has greatly depreciated since spending a year and a half with Milwaukee.
Less than two seasons ago, Crowder was one of the hottest names when it came to trade talks. The Bucks wound up giving five second-round picks and a trio of players for Crowder in a four-team deal with the Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns at the deadline.
There was a time over the past year and a half that the Milwaukee Bucks thought bringing in Crowder could make a real difference.
That time is long gone.
Shipping off five second-round picks as well as three players for Crowder was viewed by many as a huge swing that ultimately landed flat.
Instead of going down in Bucks history as a player who made championship-level impact such as P.J. Tucker, who was traded to the Bucks ahead of the deadline before helping the team win the 2021 NBA Championship, Crowder never found his footing.
After a solid season in 2021-22 with the Phoenix Suns, where he averaged 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals over 28.1 minutes per game over 67 games, Crowder’s numbers took a steep dive in Milwaukee.
Since joining the Bucks during the middle of the 2022-23 season, Crowder went on to average 6.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.7 steals in 18 games. He followed that up by averaging 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game last season in 50 games played during his final season with Milwaukee.
Crowder’s performance was especially bad in the postseason. Through two payoffs trips with the Bucks, Crowder averaged a mere 2.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per contest. It’s certainly not the production Milwaukee envisioned when unloading the haul of picks and players for the NBA veteran.
As a result of his poor showing in Milwaukee, Crowder remains a free agent now. His chances of joining a new team remain slim as each day continues to pass. In hindsight, the Bucks could have used their package of second-round picks better somewhere else.
Despite looking like a terrible trade in retrospect, there’s no faulting Milwaukee’s front office for trying to take a big swing on a well-known commodity that, at the time, looked like he could be an excellent addition as a rotational piece.
At the same token, there’s no denying this trade was a huge mistake as evident by Crowder’s availability this deep into the offseason.
