What a distinction a month makes.
The Milwaukee Brewers have been driving excessive heading into August. They’d gained seven of 9 popping out of the All Star break and regardless of closing out July with a 7-2 loss to the Purple Sox at Fenway Park, started the month sitting three video games forward of the second-place Cardinals within the NL Central Division.
That surge led most observers to foretell the Brewers would make a giant splash forward of MLB’s Commerce Deadline however as a substitute of choosing up an affect bat or two for the stretch run, president of baseball operation David Stearns as a substitute dealt All-Star nearer Josh Hader to the Padres for 2 relievers — one among whom was later DFA’d — and two prospects whereas choosing up two different relievers, one among whom may not even pitch this season.
Issues didn’t go a lot better on the sector because the new-look Brewers went right into a tailspin. First, they have been swept by the Pirates then dropped two to the Reds earlier than getting a short lived reprieve with again—to-back victories over the Rays. However from there, issues simply acquired worse as Milwaukee dropped 9 of its subsequent 13 earlier than closing out the month by taking 4 of six from the Cubs and Pirates.
Now, as they head into the house stretch the Brewers discover themselves on the surface wanting in; 5 video games again of the Cardinals within the Central and a recreation again of San Diego for the third and last NL Wild Card spot.
If the Brewers need to make the playoffs for a franchise-record fifth consecutive season, they’ll have to conjure up among the September magic that they produced in 2018 and ‘19.
Within the meantime, right here’s a glance again on the Brewers’ August:
What Went Proper
RHP Brandon Woodruff: The correct-handed starter didn’t earn a choice in 5 however posted a 2.70 ERA with 31 strikeouts and eight walks over 30 innings of labor. He’s been lights-out since getting back from a month-long stint on the IL on the finish of June, going 4-0 with a 2.35 ERA and 79 strikeouts in 65 innings spanning 11 begins.
RHP Peter Strzelecki: Yearly, it appears, the Brewers name up an in any other case unheralded reliever to supply some depth that someway turns into an indispensable a part of the crew’s bullpen. This 12 months isn’t any totally different as Strezlecki, a rookie right-hander produced a 3.45 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 9 appearances.
INF Keston Hiura: As a rookie, Hiura was a key cog within the late-season surge that resulted in a Wild Card berth in 2019 however hasn’t been the identical since. Milwaukee introduced him again on Aug. 4 and he’s discovered a groove on the plate, slashing .255/.314/.638 with six homers, 11 RBIs and a .952 OPS.
What Went Mistaken
Corbin Burnes: After giving up a mixed seven runs in his last three begins — together with a season-high 5 his final trip — Burnes produced a whopping 4.81 ERA in August, his highest single-month mark with not less than 4 begins since April 2019 when his ERA stood at 10.70 after 4 brutal outings to begin his sophomore season.
Bullpen: After buying and selling Hader, the thought was Devin Williams may slide simply into the ninth-inning position whereas commerce deadline pickups Matt Bush and Taylor Rogers would take some stress off Brad Boxberger in late-inning conditions. That plan has hardly come to fruition although as Milwaukee’s bullpen mixed for eight blown saves through the month.
Trevor Rosenthal: As if buying and selling a two-time All-Star nearer wasn’t sufficient of a raffle, Stearns took on an excellent larger danger when he despatched outfield prospect Tristin Peters to the Giants for veteran right-hander Trevor Rosenthal, who hadn’t pitched since 2020 and was presently on the IL with a strained left hamstring. The Brewers hoped he’d have the ability to be part of the crew for the stretch run however suffered a shoulder harm throughout a minor-league rehab task in doubtless gained’t be accessible till a possible postseason recreation.
What’s Subsequent

Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers spent a lot of the primary half on the street, together with a trio of three-city, 10-game street journeys however all that journey pays off in September because the crew will play 20 of its last 26 video games at dwelling together with 9 straight to wrap up the common season.
There are challenges forward, notably a six-game run in opposition to the Yankees and Mets together with 4 video games in opposition to the Cardinals. The Brewers even have a double-header in opposition to the Giants on Aug. 8, which comes close to the tip of a stretch of 18 video games in 17 days.
Nonetheless, the slate is favorable, particularly in comparison with the Padres who will see an terrible lot of the MLB-leading Dodgers down the stretch so in a manner, the Brewers have a least some management over their very own future.

The Milwaukee Brewers have one of the most exciting prospects in the game right now low in the minors.
18-year-old infielder Jesús Made has had a meteoric rise in the prospect standings this season. Made currently is ranked as the Brewers’ No. 1 overall prospect and the No. 23 overall prospect in the game right now.
Made had another massive day on Friday as he went 3-for-4 for the Class-A Carolina Mudcats with an inside-the-park home run, a double, three RBIs, and three stolen bases.
Made has been phenomenal so far this season. He has appeared in 40 games so far this season and is slashing .288/.402/.438 with four homers, 26 RBIs, 21 stolen bases, nine doubles, one triple, 32 runs scored, and 28 walks.
This is a guy who is going to play a massive role with the Brewers in the near future if he can keep things up. He’s drawn comparisons to Brewers phenom Jackson Chourio and has lived up to the hype in the minors so far. If he can keep up this level of play over the next year or so, there’s a real possibility that he and Chourio are both in the lineup for Milwaukee maybe by the time the 2027 season gets here. That’s just speculation, but would follow the timeline that Chourio was on.
Milwaukee has plenty of young talent at the big league level right now and another top prospect working his way up.

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is debating the future of the I-794 interchange in downtown Milwaukee, presenting four options to the public during Thursday’s meeting that drew hundreds of attendees.
WisDOT has spent the last few years examining alternatives for I-794’s future, narrowing down to four distinct options.
The first option involves the total removal of I-794, which would open space for retail, recreation, and housing development in downtown Milwaukee.
The second option would replace the current structure in kind, reconstructing I-794 while maintaining its existing footprint.

The remaining two options are freeway improvement plans that would keep the structure but consolidate it to reduce its overall footprint.
“Highways running throughout neighborhoods no longer work,” said Montavius Jones, a member of the volunteer group Rethink 794, which advocates for the total removal option.

“The removal of 794 will unlock so much potential, so much opportunity as far as jobs, housing opportunities, new retail opportunities, new amenities, new green space,” Jones said.
Many opponents of the removal option worry about increased travel time and traffic coming into downtown from I-94 and the Hoan Bridge.
However, Ryan Breaker, who lives in South Milwaukee and frequently uses I-794, doesn’t share those concerns.
“The improvements to the city are massive, I think the potential is massive, I believe the concerns are going to largely end up being unfounded,” Breaker said.

For some stakeholders, the potential changes raise concerns about preserving local history.
Chuck Lazzaro is advocating for Pompeii Square, a memorial located under I-794 that commemorates the Pompeii Church, which was demolished to accommodate the highway’s construction in the 1960s.
“It was put there by our club to remember the church and our roots of the Italian community that was in the third ward,” Lazzaro said.

Lazzaro worries that a large construction project on I-794 could leave the memorial with the same fate as the church it represents.
“We want to make sure whatever option they pick here does not affect our monument,” Lazzaro said.
Any plan chosen will need to go through environmental review and approval before WisDOT can identify funding availability. Construction is not anticipated to begin until the 2030s.
