TURBO

Right, you just go Rasmussen, Martinez, then Freddy game 3 in Tampa.

If Woodruff is on the roster, he will pitch. I think it's crazy for anyone to think we'd roster him and have him on the bench the entire series. If he's on the roster, he will pitch, it's just a matter of when they find the right time for him to do so. This isn't the same thing as Patrick being on the roster for the Dodger series and not throwing a pitch. Woody will pitch, book it!

Everything is about the money. How much more can they squeeze out of lifelong fans, and those lifelong fans pay it, whatever they charge, it gets paid. It's a disgusting part of being a fan, and if anyone thought it wouldn't be like this, then I don't know where you've been the last decade. Money turns the wheels, and until the line is crossed (the line that fans will stop and say "hey, this is freaking nuts, I'm not paying that") the prices will continue to soar, and people will continue to over pay...........for everything! It's beyond gross. but obviously, that line has not yet been crossed, as everyone just keeps shelling out cash like it's tap water...

Thank you for putting in the time to write that incredible post! I agree with ALL of it! Your post has me pumped up for a future that I never thought I'd see in Milwaukee! Kudos!

yup

Digger Wow, what a strange movie. The acting was superb, and I can't see Cruise not getting some big awards for this one. It's a roller coaster ride of a movie.

Let the poaching commence...

C'mon, what's up with the thin skin? I'm simply saying speaking in absolutes is a dangerous game. All the things you are saying sound like you think it's factual, none of them are factual.

Fixed. You just can't speak in absolutes. I trust our brainpowers, and if anyone will be able to figure it all out after the CBA kicks in, it is them, but we won't know how good or bad it is for the small market teams until we get through it.

It would suck if he goes to the Cubs, but I could see it... Imagine both he and Freddy in a Cubs uniform next year? Gross.

Yeah, I think we have been a bit spoiled at catcher with Contreras. I think we will find out just how spoiled as soon as he is gone. His handling of the pitchers, leadership, etc is going to be really tough to replace. Quero is a BIG question mark, which is hard to believe based on what we all thought of him a couple years ago.

Every team's fans, in every sport says the same thing when their team wins it all, yet repeating is never a given, and rarely happens, especially in bunches. I think it's time to slow down, and just enjoy what we have now, today. This thread was doomed from the start, and is way too premature...

I don't see them trading Megill. I don't think he gets us the massive haul that some think he'll get. I'd rather see them keep Contreras and Megill for their last year, and see if we can repeat another trip to the World Series. Offer the QO to Bauers, yes. Extend him, only if he gives us some kind of deal to stay. As much as I love the guy, I don't see him having this kind of year ever again, and the last thing we need is to be overpaying a future platoon type player, who isn't the best defensive player, the next 4 years. I'd rather the Yankees or someone else take on that risk. Losing Bauers will hurt, but give one of our youngsters a shot and see what happens. (Adams, Burke, or Fisher) If we somehow kept Bauers, then yes, I think we have to trade Vaughn, who seems to have such a limited role on this team, it's criminal. I doubt the return would be that great, which is why I hesitate to trade him, but wasting him another year like 2027 just seems silly. He'll be another season away from his hamate injury, so I'm expecting more power in 2027. Maybe another team would think the same? Who knows? I just did a big post on Contreras, so I won't beat that horse here. In short, let him play out his contract, but DO NOT trade him. Offer him at most a 3 year extension, which he will pass on unless we offer him a boatload of cash. I'd offer him 2 years as high as $60 million. I could see us in the market for a big gun starting pitcher via trade, so that is always an option, especially if they think Miz, Henderson, Gasser, and Harrison need another addition. I fully expect to see 1st half Harrison return in 2027, so I'm not really concerned about him, but I can see adding another TOR type via trade. Our farm is too good, we can never play all the guys we have in the minors, so it may be time to start weeding some of those guys out to make the A squad better. What will Priester's status be? Personally, I don't think we can count on him at all. I don't expect to be in on anyone via free agency that isn't the type we always go after. The big name guys, the big money guys, will continue to go to other teams, while we try and cash in on guys nobody else wants.

Trading Contreras before/during the 2027 season would be absolute insanity. It's not like we have a young stud catcher banging on the door. We do not! William is what we have, and keeping him one final season for another run at (another?) title is the only way to handle this. I doubt he'd take a 2-3 year extension, which is what I'd like to offer him, so you let him play out his contract and go from there. I'd offer him 2 years at $50 million and see what he says. Hell, I'd go 2 years $60 million if that would help, but again, I don't see him taking a contract that short. 3 years at most, we don't need to pay for his declining years, we are already doing that with our fading superstar... It would be such a hit to every aspect of this team to trade William before his contract runs out. Dare I say, he very well may be the heart and soul of this team, and that is worth something. Keep him, it would be asinine to do anything else.

Had to share this one...lol

I know the people posting about Woody's bat are probably (hopefully) just kidding. When is the last time he swung a bat in a meaningful situation? 4 years ago? Like I said, I hope people are just having fun, but since he's tried so hard to make it back to the mound, I doubt swinging a bat has even occurred to him. Along with that, I think it is more than risky to consider putting him on the roster. He would be a feel good story, absolutely no doubt, but I just think it is way to risky to think he could come in and pitch any meaningful innings. I'd love to be wrong, and I'd be rooting for him just as hard as the next guy, but it just isn't realistic imo. *waiting for the announcement that he is in fact on the roster, since I posted this*

Doesn't really matter, all I know is that NOW, AFTER the Kirk incident, that shirt is being worn for a different purpose, and it's pretty disgusting. It's just is such poor taste...

It's sarcasm...

UUUUUUGGGHHHHHHHH!

I'm just extremely thankful that Rickie Weeks was never hired to be our manager. EXTREMELY THANKFUL!

Joe Davis should have never, I mean NEVER, been allowed to call a Dodger series in the playoffs. We were robbed of someone who can actually see things for what they were, not a damn homer sad sack. SCREW JOE DAVIS and SCREW WHOEVER MADE THE DECISION FOR HIM TO CALL A DODGER PLAYOFF SERIES!

I think it has finally settled in. The 2026 Milwaukee Brewers are in the World Series! I stayed up watching all the stuff until about 1:00 am last night, didn't have to go to work today, so why not. Just took it all in, and even as I went to bed, it didn't fully set in. It has today, and man-o-man, it is just the best feeling in the world! It;s truly a dream come true! Now we have to finish the business we set out to get done... Stay tuned Brewerfan, there is still a lot of season left!!
