Aaron Ashby of the Brewers is now 12-1 and has been the winning pitcher in two of the three games in the Reds series. No other MLB pitcher has more than 10 wins. All of Ashby's wins are in relief. When the Brewers put him in, they take the lead. Uncanny.
A homer for his homeland. William Contreras wore his Team Venezuela catcher’s gear on Friday night to raise awareness for his country in the wake of two major earthquakes. You’ll find his emotional postgame interview with @TriciaWhitaker within: https://t.co/YFBkAeBDXb
Wisconsin Democrats have a problem on their hands. Their frontrunner for governor, Francesca Hong, has advocated ABOLISHING police, and the other Democrat candidates (and AG Josh Kaul) won’t call her out on it. They’re all too desperate to curry favor with the runaway train on the Democrat side, ie the antisemitic, anti-American, anti-police, anti-sanity anarchist vote they’re pandering to.
Feckless liberal Sara Rodriguez, falsely painted as a moderate, even specifically declined to comment on DSA, the bonkers socialist group that Hong belongs to, even after New York elected a DSA compatriot of Hong’s who said she once wiped her hand on an American flag because she forgot a napkin (and other really despicable stuff, and eradicating the country is apparently on the table.) Hong pledged to bring the DSA mentality to Wisconsin next. This is super extreme stuff – abolish police, prisons and borders and the U.S. Senate besides.

This is so crazy even James Carville announced he didn’t want to be part of the Democrat Party anymore. James Carville!
Some moderate Democrats in Congress signed a pledge to stand up to the anarchist, anti-capitalist America-hating new socialists. Good for them. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, the Democrat candidates are acting like someone put tape over their mouths, and none of this is happening.
So, obviously this is a problem for the Democrats. And it’s not just Hong. They’ve been, as a party, ranting about police for years now. And they’ve never met a prison they didn’t want to empty, a point they all pretty much reinforced at a forum this week.

They planted the seeds for the socialist algal bloom in their own party by turning criminals into victims and cops into villains years ago, and painting even obviously justified shootings as horrifying acts, enabled by a race-conscious largely white media industrial complex. This dates to Ferguson, minimally, and the “hands up don’t shoot” myth that even Eric Holder couldn’t abide.
Most prominent Democrats tried to ease out of the defund the police rhetoric a few years ago (switching it to ICE) when they figured out that most average people think it’s totally nuts (and defunding police hurts minority communities most besides), but now it’s all back with a DSA-fueled vengeance, and they have no idea what to do about it.
Jacob Misiorowski touched 105.5 mph in the first inning versus Pete Crow-Armstrong, which is the fastest by a starting pitcher in the pitch-tracking era.
The Brewers beat the Cubs 6-2 tonight to open the series.
Miz allowed 1 run. The offense came alive late behind HR’s from Mitchell and Contreras. And the bullpen shut the door.
Milwaukee is 50-29, a season-high 21 games over .500.
Reaction coming from the clubhouse!
After an emotional pregame interview & an emotional week for Contreras, and a very heavy heart, he just went yard — 449 feet for a two run HR……with fellow Venezuelan Jackson Chourio on base, coming home with him.
You can’t make this stuff up. ❤️
With his home country of Venezuela on the minds (and hats) of all Brewers tonight, William Contreras hits a 449-foot home run with fellow Venezuela native Jackson Chourio on second base.
What a moment. 🇻🇪
