The iguana story careened to the wayside when learning of this truly unfortunate event. Machado was expected back with the Crew for the 1992 seasonВ but there was a hiccup:В he was being investigated for allegedly murdering a secretary in his home country of Venezuela during a traffic dispute (in which, he later claimed, he feared he was being robbed). As I was randomly trying to validate my memory of that same broadcast on the interwebs, I discovered Mr. So, as I was considering my 'screen name' I became married to an homage to this one-time Brewers reliever, Julio Machado, who had somehow managed to continue occupying a snug place in the archives of my Brewers nostalgia even tho he pitched a mere season with the club! Why did he only pitch one season? During the inquiry, I hit a snag. And, that story had traveled with me in the dusty caverns of my mind ever since. 'Iguanas?!? Whoa.' Machado had instantly achieved cult status in my eyes. BUT, as a suburban 8th grader at that time, I was incredulous. As an adult, having now traveled extensively in Central and South America, this is just not a big deal - not even remotely. Apparently, Bill revealed at that time, SeГ±or Machado loved to eat iguana. For some reason, unbeknownst to my conscious self, a casual story 'The Rock' shared over a telecast sometime in the 1990-1991 season about then Brewers reliever 'Julio Machado' was milling about my Brewers-themed mind and it sunk its teeth in me. I found that homage mysterious and challenging.

Initially, I tried to craft an homage to Marquis Grissom's innate ability to swing and colossally whiff at every off-the-plate slider feigning as a possible pitch over home plate. When I was first considering the transition from obsessive and creepy lurker in those epic minor league threads of the originalВ Brewer FanВ to an actual poster, I was really struggling with a name. The Associated Press contributed to this report.A random note about the name 'Julio Muchacho': Mario Feliciano, who made his major league debut Saturday and scored the winning run in a 6-5, 11-inning victory over the Dodgers, was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site in Appleton, Wisconsin. It made sense to be able to bring him back and plug him right in there.' 'He knows our group,' president of baseball operations David Stearns said. 306 on-base percentage, five homers and 17 RBIs in 38 career games. 188 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 20 games last year and entered Sunday with a. Nottingham, 26, was playing in his first major league game this year. The Brewers have placed their top two catchers - Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina - on the injured list over the past week. 'We just needed to bring another catcher into the organization, and somebody with familiarity works out great,' manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday's game.

The Brewers announced Sunday that they acquired him for cash. Seattle had claimed Nottingham off waivers from Milwaukee last week but then designated him for assignment. Nottingham's play was one of few bright spots for the Brewers during a 16-4 loss. Nottingham hit a pair of home runs during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, including one off starter Julio Urias to lead off the third inning Sunday in his first at-bat of the season. Cast off by the Milwaukee Brewers a little over a week ago, catcher Jacob Nottingham made an impactful return after the team reacquired him in a trade with the Seattle Mariners.
