This feels like a boomer thing with the hats. Can’t wait for all the boomer umpires to finally be gone. Would also like for the boomers to let go of sports at some point also with the no celebrating “act like of you been there before” nonsense. This is a child’s sport played by adults. Fun is allowed and celebrating is also allowed. Sorry had to rant on this for the billionth time.

Michigan look’s anemic.

I haven't seen much offshoring to Mexico or Poland lately. Brazil, Philippines and India still are the three biggest with Argentina becoming a new place that companies are investing in. Some of the jobs are regional level. For example a lot of jobs are moving out of the major tech and corporate hubs California, Seattle, NYC and others. These tech and corporate jobs are now moving to Nashville, Austin, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Tampa and other areas. The tech companies that are still in California are now going remote or staying remote and hiring people from low cost of living cities instead of hiring people in California. The cost to hire these remote workers is far less than it is to hire someone from California. What is even more crazy is that Phoenix has gained more than just TSMC. Boeing and some other major manufacturers from California have now moved their operations to Phoenix. The Phoenix area is quickly becoming a major tech, corporate and manufacturing hub. In the west valley you have a lot of new data centers, manufacturers and tech jobs. In the north valley you have a lot of corporate, health care and tech manufacturing jobs. In the south valley there are a lot of manufacturing jobs. In the west valley it is a mixture of tech and corporate jobs. A lot of the facilities in the north and west valley are either new created in the last 3-5 years or are still under construction. In this market if you are not willing to move to where the jobs are good luck and I hope you like a blue collar job because that is what you are going to have to take if you are not willing to move. There are some remote jobs but the competition is just insane. I have a friend who works in HR and whenever they post a job for remote work it automatically gets about 5000 plus applications while the in person roles get about 100-500 applicants and there is very little crossover between the two applicant pools.

No but the Bucks maybe losing one or more of their picks depending on the NBA's investigation into the Bucks.

Arte Moreno ran the team like a fan. Completely irrational and always thinking this was the year and going completely in every single year. There was absolutely no plan other than we are going for it every year. They absolutely wasted prime Trout and early prime Ohtani years. When they finally had an out and a possibility to improve the team in the future the owner went full fan mode and refused to trade away Ohtani. Why? Because they had a very small chance to make the playoffs and well when you have a chance at the playoffs you have to go all in!!!! The problem was all of the prospect capital was gone so you couldn’t go all in. It’s why the summer of fun is a far better strategy than whatever the Angels decided to do. The Angels right now have a better farm system than they did 2-3 years ago. But still no where near where they need to be at to be competitive again. Trout doesn’t want to be traded and wants to retire as an Angel though he wouldn’t bring back all that much in a trade other than salary relief and a lottery ticket. The Angels are still the red headed step child of LA.

As long as the pitch isn’t in the lower third of the strike zone he is fine.

LOL Cubs give Yelich a pitch he can actually get a positive launch angle on.

Everything is hit on the ground so hitting it hard isn't really bad luck. If he actually hits the ball with more launch angle then yes that would be fine. But Yelich just can't consistently hit with an actual useful launch angle. Which means he is going to hit a bunch of screamers to the SS or 2B on the ground. With a competent or average defense he is going to be out at a much higher rate. Exit velocity is great but you have to combine with a decent launch angle. Yelich has never been a good launch angle hitter. It was working for him when he had elite bat speed and he could get to the balls up. But now pitchers are just pitching him down in the zone and that low launch angle swing he has means he is just going to hit it on the ground. Nothing will change with Yelich unless he starts getting more launch angle on his swing. That low strike zone is basically his downfall right now as he can't lift pitches in the bottom third of the strike zone consistently. He can consistently hit them but they are on the ground to an infielder.

If Yelich has to be in the lineup at least bat him 9th. Ideally he should be sitting at home with an "injury".

I hope they leave Yelich off the playoff roster. Right now he is about as useful as the ghost of Tony Gwynn with a bat and since he can't play the field it is better to just tell him go home you suck.

Probably was scared he was going to get benched if he didn’t try and stretch it into a double. That should be in blue but with pancakes it’s hard to tell.

At this rate the Cubs will have to sweep the remaining 7 games against the Brewers just to have a chance. It’s not over yet but the Cubs haven’t really taken advantage of their easier schedule compared to the Brewers in August. They are basically where they were at the end of July.

I know Lara hasn’t really earned it and his status are not the greatest but I still believe he would be the best #1 for this lineup going forward. His approach is just far better suited as a leadoff hitter.

Ted who? Are you thinking of Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure? No idea who this Alex Ochoa is never heard of him. Andrew Lorraine no idea who that is definitely not a Brewers name and definitely not a name who would wear #23.

If you build a trade value thingy it may bring more traffic. Just sayin

I didn’t know that Dolly was a producer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though it was mostly as a silent producer and more through the company she cofounded. Still not something you would consider to be something she would be backing.

There is only one #23 on the Brewers ever!!! All other images are AI created!

If Yelich retires whatever is remaining on his contract won’t be paid out. He will still get the deferred payments but he won’t get the years he doesn’t play. Are you thinking of a buyout?

Contreras missed a very hittable pitch. Should have gone for extra bases in stead he hits a lazy pop fly out.

Black has a better chance than Adams or Burke to be called up.

The Pro Bowl game is no more mourned by no one! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7540770/2026/08/26/nfl-pro-bowl-eliminated-ending/?unlocked_article_code=1.8VA.jebA.wSntIcOpaH_y&source=user_shared_article&smid=ta-ios-share

I wouldn’t expect Adams to get called up since he is not on the 40-man. Lockridge is the likely add when rosters expand along with Black and maybe another pitcher or two. Baddo is probably the most likely removal from the 40-man if they wanted to add Adams.

If the Dodgers have to get under the cap maybe a Yelich for Tucker makes some sense. It would cut the cap for the Dodgers in about half. The Dodgers would probably have to send some money over in the deal for it to work or it would have to be a three team trade. Maybe the A’s make some sense as they would also have to add in payroll to get to the floor. I don’t think Yelich would even approve that trade. The Brewers are stuck with him until he retires.

Week 5 Packers jersey looks like a Notre Dame jersey with Boston College

I tried to make it obvious with my previous post with the scouting report about Ty Johnson being very similar to Mis.
