    Praise God that Mac is gone! Great day for UW!!

    Maybe this is where the game can/should change for the better. Earlier arby eligibility, but longer team control. arby eligible beginning year 3 in the majors (no more manipulation to delay this, if you play any part of 2 years, you’re automatically eligible in the third year), but then team control through 8 years. would create more incentive for both sides to reach long term deals. I personally believe the sport would increase in value if there was greater player continuity. It would also weaken the advantage that places like LA have (though I guess their leverage in the international market is still there)

    I read this week that the Final Four is very international player heavy.. good to see the Badgers getting in on this party even further. Hopefully Bucky can keep our current veteran leadership (AB, Blackwell, Winter, Rapp)
  4. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Let’s go Sproat! Rough first outing this year, but plenty of time to turn it around. As Ted Lasso would say, be the goldfish!!
  5. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Agreed Rick. Turang has proven things, and Pratt (while he has potential), could be another Arcia or Escobar (all glove no bat players that the Brewers were high on). I would have much rather bought out two FA years from Turang. I know it looks like he’ll break the bank on 2030, but it would have been nice keep him longer. I get that both sides needed to be interested to make that happen. We still have a disaster at 3B, and we w likely will have some need at 1B and in the outfield, so if Pena and/or Made have a special bat, plenty of places to play. We just don’t need 3x “glove first” SS on our MLB roster

    to be fair... 50% of our games have been against the AAAA White Sox... We might not face a Top 15 pitching staff until the Blue Jays in Series 5 I love our start, but beating the White Sox & Rays is not exactly beating the Dodgers and Blue Jays
  7. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    This could definitely be true, but ultimately its all about balancing the risk... We have Miz through the 2031 season... so going year to year risks that he'll be too expensive by 2030 or 2031. On the other hand, if he struggles (2025 second half) rather than being electric (2025 first half) or gets injured, all bets are off... I get that these guys have an ego, and some are driven to hit the "MASSIVE CASH", but I'd imagine that most would players would take the security of $50 million guaranteed, rather than a much smaller probability of hitting a $250 million or $500 million jackpot. Yeah, the numbers keep getting bigger, but we could have a massive economic correction at some point think 2008-2010), and if corporate America stops advertising, buying wide swaths of tickets, employing millions of Americans, etc... pro sports could see a significant contraction. Or, the players could not be as good as advertised, and they pretty much are left with their original MLB draft signing bonus...

    I feel terrible for him. Slow start here, but he was one of my favorite players last year. maybe one of those guys that played well for us but will struggle elsewhere?
  9. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Hell yes Milwaukee! Great start
  10. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Love that crooked number in the 8th.... gives us options for the 9th... If Hall can finish the job, 5-1 is a nice way to start the season!
  11. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    I'm a bit annoyed with Murphy's usage of Ashby thus far... are we expecting him to pitch in 100 games this year?
  12. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    I try :) Hopefully we turnover a new rock this year!
  13. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Englert is just getting warmed up... he's about to strike out three Brewers in a row to end the threat
  14. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    The bases LOADED and no outs.... we're screwed!
  15. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Turang could be one of those scenarios (like Adames) where we hold him to the very end, have (hopefully) four more playoff runs with him, and then take the pick... That said, as you just mentioned, beyond Chourio, we don't have other long-term contracts... in a couple years Yelich falls off... if Made/Pratt are starting to make an impact at the big league level (hopefully we can figure out 1B), and our pitching is starting to gel for a "go for it" type stretch, it will likely be ideal to keep some stability in place with Turang, Frelick, etc... So even if we're paying Turang $25/per and Frelick $15/per, with some of the younger players locked up (Jackson, Pratt, maybe Made) things could work out... 3-4 years down the line, our pitchers (if they pan out) will start hitting Arby (Miz, Patrick, Priester, Harrison), so that might make 2028-2031 or so our "window", before we re-load again
  16. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    I would agree with this take
  17. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Did I miss something?
  18. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Agreed. This team is definitely top 25 worthy for their season of work. Too bad in those Indy and USC losses… if we had held on there, we’re probably talking top 10… that said… i’m thrilled with how much this team has improved over the past month. Knowing the seeding gods always hate us, we’ll probably be a 6-7 seed, but some 2-3 is going to be furious to have us in their draw. I’d like to think that we can finish 4-2 or 5-1… 22-9 (14-6) or 23-8 (15-5) should net us a 5-6 seed I’d think. if we somehow add a win @ Purdue, that might get us into a top-4 seed.
  19. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Who is Pete Nance?
  20. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    We would have to beat the #2 seed first for that to happen (no chance)
  21. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Why wait? I’ve wanted to fire MLF all season :) and I’ll want to fire him, regardless of these next 5 games. He simply doesn’t have what it takes to make us a contender. If he gets us to the Super Bowl (and past the Rams, Bears, and Eagles), I’ll reconsider…. but at some point, put up or shut up.
  22. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Or a new owner. Baseball economics are messed up, but sometimes we’re not even trying. overpaying for free agents is one thing that I’m glad we avoid, but with high attendance, significant mech sales, playoff revenue, we should be able to consistently afford $125, with maybe a “go for it” at $150 every couple seasons. Next year would be a year I think we should be able to push to $150 to max both our young talent and our window with Freddy and/or Woody. i realize that we’re never going to be a team paying 5 players $20M+ each, but no reason we shouldn’t be able to afford Turang for 7/100 with Yeli’s contract gone by 2029
  23. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    We’re still somehow only down 1-0… our pitching has been great tonight. As many have said, a bloop and a blast is all week need.
  24. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    Way to go Quinn!!
  25. TwinsBrewersWorldSeries
    What time did everyone get to American Family Field tonight? shooting to get to the stadium around 5:45-6:00 tomorrow but wondering if we’ll be stuck in traffic for an hour within a mile or two of the stadium. not planning to tailgate, but would hate to get near the stadium around 6:00 only to not make it in until the 3rd inning
