2026 Misc MLB News Thread
liveforoctober replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Wow, Steele all over again. Best of luck to that young man in his recovery. -
Man, every season is such an adventure and is so unpredictable. Had I told you a month ago that our lineup for Gm #11 of the season would be: Lockridge Contreras Rengifo Sanchez Ortiz Matos Frelick Perkins Hamilton ...we would all have no less than 6 questions, most of which were of concern and I think we would be praying for a report that we managed to be .500 through the first 10. Meanwhile, we have the best record in baseball and I'm low key excited to see how this lineup manufactures 5 runs tonight against one of the best arms in the game. I say this also knowing full well that we will probably put out a lineup at some point in August that has 5 new names that are not currently on the 26 man. Baseball >>>

This generation's Boston fans are typically pretty defiant against sliding with spikes up. Machado more or less started the end of Pedroia's career by spiking him. I can't imagine many Boston fans would defend Contreras' actions yesterday...
-
So this part I would bend on in real time probably. I was mildly surprised no one challenged him after he hurt Hamilton yesterday. I don't love the premeditated stuff really at all, but if he goes after someone today I hope our guys would defend whomever that is.
-
If we didn't have pennant aspirations I would want the entertainment too. The last thing we need though is Abner actually connecting with a right hand and busting a finger or something dumb. If we let him draw us into a fight it will be the highlight of his season. We have bigger things to worry about. Plus the pen is already short handed ... can't handle suspensions now either.
-
We have such a good thing going.. Ignore the child screaming for attention. Let him go 1-3 with a walk today and ignore his stare downs. We have bigger things to concern ourselves with.
-
.. and once again your league leader in wins, Aaron Ashby.
-
Just looked at the Cubs box score. Those batting averages to start the year for Craig's squad are TOUGH.
-
After seeing that throw in to home from Anthony on the Mitchell single ... teams better auto send runners until he proves otherwise. That was a mind numbing effort.
-
9 games in... (using ESPN stats) MLB Batting All MLB Third Baseman Stat Leaders, 2026 Regular Season - ESPN Durbin (-.2) and Mona (.1) have combined for -.1 WAR. (Seigler injured) Harrison (.3) and Hamilton (.5) have combined for .8WAR Almost a full win difference in a week and a half ... and now we are going to see if Drohan adds to that or not this week. Hamilton is listed as a 2B on ESPN but if he was a 3B he would be tied for 3rd in all of baseball for WAR amongst 3B to start the season. His OBP is 12th best in ALL of baseball. Still way too soon to call it. But holy buckets what a trade out of the gates..

Koenig to IL, Drohan called up
liveforoctober replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
There were two scenarios in play for this week. 1) We would piece together a bullpen game at some point. 2) We would discover an injury to bring up a starter. Candidates to have an injury discovered were Sproat and Koenig... then to a lesser extent Woodford. Koenig's start to the year (pre and real) has a Payamps aura right now unfortunately. -
I don't want to keep on saying the same thing over and over... But I saw Ashby and threw my hands up. Up 5 is not his spot. Now he is unusable for Gm 2 and tomorrow as well after 2 innings.
-
That was a pretty gnarly slide from Pena to score.
-
I'm here in Appleton. It is cold. I actually feel bad for that kid.. He is blowing on his hands after every single pitch... I am not sure that he was able to feel the baseball much for the first five or six batters.. He's just now starting to throw strikes and his velocity is ticking upwards a little bit.
-
If we are adding a bullpen arm between Gasser and Henderson the RHP makes more sense than the LHP just balance wise. Thankful the Nashville -> KC trip is not a long one. Those late night calls to get to another city in a pinch like this are not ideal.
-
It's actually sinful how full our lineups are in AAA, AA, and A+. Random notes... I know a few have mentioned him on this MiLB board here but on the big league board it feels like Boeve is a forgotten man. Where is ARob? Did Boeve play with an injury all of last year that was not disclosed? If he turns into 2024 Boeve and Blake Burke looks like Blake Burke looks suddenly our corner infield spots are just as jammed as our middle infield spots.
-
It's amazing that we go all off season without baseball but then as soon as it starts back up again every single off day feels like a week and a half that we don't get to watch them play.
-
Lara is incredibly interesting. Is he the most "under the radar" top 20 prospect we have? Has to be right? The defense is elite. If he hits in Nashville that puts Jett Williams in no man's land AND/OR puts Lara on every team's radar. This team and farm system is so fun right now. It is an embarrassment of riches.

Your 2026 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
liveforoctober replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Timber Rattlers have already postponed their opener tomorrow as we are getting a storm pushing through. Hopefully it is just a cold rain/sleet and doesn't turn into any flurries. It looks like we will be fighting the rain all day and the temps should hold above freezing though past dawn. Double header currently scheduled for Friday - it will be a chilly one. High of 43, low of 32. Saturday doesn't look much warmer. The Rattlers won't be home again then until the 14th and we should be ok by then. But these first 3 games are going to be cold. -
I do see the change now and I am glad. Joey deserved the hit as much as Carson didn't deserve the error.
-
All hail MLB Wins leader* Aaron Ashby.
-
Durbin 0-4. Golly he needs a busted bat single somewhere. This has got to be stressful in a new place.
-
Do I hear Jake Woodford's music?
-
Both MLB.com and ESPN have that Ortiz at bat as an error on Williams... that's a tough break for both parties, that ball was torched.
