Milwaukee Brewers had a good Wednesday night. Hell, they had a great Wednesday night. They won their second straight game, and they’re fourth in their last five (7-3 since returning from the All-Star Break). And they added Eduardo Escobar, who gives them a ton of offense and defensive versatility. That is going to make you happy. The Brewers did it yesterday with timely hitting. No home runs in the seven runs they scored in this one. Lorenzo Cain and Luis Urias both had two-run doubles that helped propel the Brewers in this one. Here’s the review from last night talking about the win + what Escobar means to the Crew.

As I said in the review, the Escobar move shows the Brewers aren’t here to fuck around. They addressed an issue that has been plaguing them all season at the corner infield position. Cooper Hummel has some buzz in Brewers’ prospect Twitter but he’s not that special. And the Brewers didn’t really see him fitting in. Giving up a guy that might be an alright player + another prospect for a chance at a championship is worth it every fucking time. Escobar is also a great clubhouse guy which is great to hear as well. This Brewers’ group is already a fun bunch and adding another guy who fits that mold only helps things.
