Eric Thames is back from the DL, but he's decided to leave something else behind. In pregame warmups today, Thames came in with a clean-shaven face, getting rid of his well-known beard. He's now the second Brewer to chop off the beard recently, joining Brandon Woodruff after he shaved his beard off. Time to update your media photos (again).

Likely looking to drown their sorrows after losing 2 of 3 to the Brewers, the Chicago Cubs appear to have been busted smuggling New Glarus' Spotted Cow across the Illinois border on their team bus. Clearly the State of Wisconsin needs to invest more in border patrol. Carrying the "Wisconsin Only" brew across the border after buying is fine, but bar owners outside of Wisconsin have actually been charged with felonies before for secretly selling the beer across state lines. We'll just take this as tacit acknowledgement that Wisconsin beer is superior to those brewed in Chicago.

The Onion is a satire website (formerly a newspaper) that publishes pieces of satire based on different pieces of news going on around the world. One of the pieces it touched on yesterday were the newest pace of play initiatives, joking that they sped up the season so much that it was over in a day. However, in a nice twist, they picked the Brewers as the World Series champs, beating the Astros in six games. While there's 161 games plus playoffs to still go in this season, it's nice to see some sites thinking the Brewers can win the World Series, even if it's not in a serious context.

Featuring an appearance from "the beast."

Big thanks to JR Radcliffe, who reached out to do an interview about Brew Crew Ball as a site and my involvement. Really though, you as a community are what make BCB great!

During tonight's Brewers-Marlins game, the game was stopped for several minutes during the fourth inning after umpire Joe West was hit in the head by a ball from the stands. The teams came off the field as the umpires spoke with security about the incident. There's no word about if the person who threw the ball was caught or not, but hopefully they will be. There's no reason to ever justify throwing a baseball at anyone, especially an umpire.

NO WAY.

Scooter Gennett, who the Brewers DFA'd just before the end of spring training, is having himself a pretty nice season for his hometown Reds as a utility player. Today, he put his name in the history books by becoming just the 17th MLB player all-time to hit four home runs in a single game. Facing off against the Cardinals, Gennett went 5-5 with 4 homers and 10 runs batted in. He now owns a .302/.336/.578 batting line with 7 home runs in 122 plate appearances this season while appearing at 2B, 3B, LF, and RF. (Statistics courtesy of Fangraphs)

Junior Guerra hasn't had his best stuff today, but he got some help from his new center fielder when he threw out Denard Span trying to stretch a single into a double in the third inning. Holy cow, what a rocket from Maverick.
