MLB wants the rights back. They can make the money directly and cut out the middle man, so I'm sure they're happy about this. They already have two teams using this model. Bally's cancelled the contracts for the Padres and Diamondbacks last year and MLB took them over. They're producing the games themselves and negotiating the deals directly with the cable and satellite companies for local broadcast. Plus offering the games streaming through MLB.TV to the local fans for $20 a month or just with the full MLB.TV package. I'd be ecstatic if the Brewers went to this model, I'd get the full MLB.TV package every season.
Imagine being Chris Sale and Luis Severino right now. Sale went from thinking he wouldn't have to pitch tonight to suddenly thinking he'd need to pitch in about an hour back to thinking he's getting the night off. Reverse that thinking for Severino.
The reason the Brewers said game three is TBD is because the only way game three is actually played at 7:30 is if all four series go three games, which is pretty unlikely. It could be played at 2:00, 3:00 or 6:00 depending on what other series goes three games.

Maybe the Brewers only showed favorable angles on the scoreboard, because it was pretty clear on TV that the ball hit the glove and the foot hit the base pretty much simultaneously. It was one of those plays where whatever call on the field was made would stand.
He only pitched in one game of the Cleveland series, so it hasn't been 5 of the last 6 games. He threw 7 pitches last Wednesday, 16 on Thursday, 10 on Saturday and 17 last night. That's not run into the ground.
I'd much rather be able to drive right into the parking lot and deal with a QR code for a minute or two than sit in line for a half hour because everyone is paying with cash.
Man, if Hall can come back and be a solid starter for the last two months of the season suddenly a potential playoff rotation of Rea, Peralta, Myers and Hall looks formidable.
Yes, it was based on the Greek God Dionysus and a 17th century painting of him:

One year of Burnes vs two and a half years of Crochet.
That said, Crochet is already at his career high in innings, he's an arm injury waiting to happen.
A lot of fringe major leaguers can hit AAA pitching. Clearly from what the Brewers saw from Keston's swing last year, they didn't think it would translate to major league success.
