Forum Friday: Opening Day Game, Season Predictions, & Spring Breakout Games

“Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.” Alexander Pope was an 18th-century poet reflecting on our tendency to believe that better days are always ahead. Today, we celebrate the optimism of Opening Day and six more months of baseball by taking a look at some of this week's best thread topics on the Brewer Fanatic forums.

Brewers: Brewers (Misiorowski) vs White Sox (Smith): 3/26/26, 1:10pm

Emotions always run high with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound. The leadoff home run to Chase Meidroth tested our patience but was, in a way, on-brand for Milwaukee by Opening Day standards. Miz and our Brewer Fanatic community kept their composure on the way to the largest margin of victory to start the season since 1988.

Come relive the thrills of yesterday’s game! Brewers baseball is back and even more fun with the passionate fans on Brewer Fanatic.

Brewers: Season Predictions Thread

Predictions are all the rage right now. Polymarket might make you wealthy, but our Season Prediction Thread can make you internet famous, at least a little bit. The consensus on the forum is to expect over 90 wins, a return to the playoffs, and team-leading performances from Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, and Brice Turang. It is always fascinating to look back at our collective preseason wisdom later in the year. It is not too late to weigh in on how you think the 2026 season will go!
