2025 Division Series
Regardless, I doubt Vaughn is still this same stud going forward into next season. But the Brewers most definitely won the Civale trade and he has been a key addition to their lineup, at least for this year. I don’t remember when anyone in Chicago was making “UnVaughnted” or “King Vaughn’s Dongs” t-shirts or whatever they are that Brewers fans are printing up. 🤣

You should have said “a month’s worth of at bats” then. He was hot in two separate and non-consecutive months (July and September) and his usual “Sox self” in August.

But that isn’t exactly what happened — he had more than one scorching hot month. Vaughn was Bondsian in July with a 1.157 OPS after the Brewers called him up from the minors on July 7th. Then he slumped in August with a more Sox-like .695 OPS. However, he sprang back in September with a .942 OPS. A .942 OPS is damn good for anyone, much less what we remember Vaughn providing. But your point about the Cubs offense swooning late has been the norm. Someone posted this last night…

Vaughn finished the regular season with an .869 OPS for the Brewers and nothing is bigger than a key homer in the playoffs. He was definitely a big, albeit unexpected addition for the Brewers. Meanwhile, the last Sox player to hit a HR in the postseason was Gavin Sheets on October 12, 2021. 🤣

Getz taught Vaughn everything he didn’t know when he was director of player development. 😶

Seth McClung revealing the 5 cheapest organizations he's played for
That last paragraph is the key. McClung would have been paying a ransom for his kidnapped wife and kid.

When you are a $40 million dollar manager and look defeated from game 1 in front of your players, you aren’t doing it right. Like I said, that’s a terrible look for any manager.

Sure, but he started out hot and helped the Brewers win at least 5 games. He was better than Civale.

Smelling the roses (a.k.a. the end of his big league career).

Taillon starting for the Cubs.

Good points. The Vaughn trade also coincided with Misiorowski replacing mediocre-to-bad and unhappy Civale in the Brewers rotation, so that helped as well.

He was a big acquisition for them, no doubt. Not sure he was the entire reason for the Brewers to win 5 more games in the regular season than the Cubs. Brewers probably also beat the Cubs without Vaughn in this series.

No one needs any more evidence for that narrative.

Botched the wall climb and got to land on his ass for no reason at all. Don’t need to try that hard to show you are trying.

It’s all a bunch of crap either way. Even if they somehow won this series, their makeshift rotation wasn’t going anywhere fast.

He only missed it by about 30 feet lol. Shawn Bradley wouldn’t have had a shot at that one.

Tucker will still obviously get paid but his second half has not been kind to his next contract negotiations. He’s also given the Cubs an excuse to not pay him.

His Madrigal slappy ass continued the inning for Choda Boy!

Huh? The Sox stole Garland from the Cubs for garbage Karchner and won that trade. The Sox traded Vaughn to the Brewers for awful Civale and Vaughn boomed and the Brewers won the trade. How to those two things relate?
