And now you’re moving the goalposts.
-
So which trade got the Brewers to a WS? Oh right none so you get a participation trophy for making a trade that didn’t even accomplish what you wanted to accomplish.
-
We went to the WS when again? That WS game where Sabathia willed us to it was great and remember when Marcum and Greinke got us to the WS!!! Man those were great times! Then also one of the greatest WS where Moustakas and Schoop pulled a rabbit out of their behinds and we finally won a WS!!!

How rare is it for a starting pitcher to go a whole month without giving up an extra base hit?
-
What the heck happened to Colorado? They looked like an unstoppable juggernaut coming into the playoffs and looked like it in the first two rounds.

Looks like the Packers may need another RB. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7303288/2026/05/26/josh-jacobs-arrested-investigation-charges-packers/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.lVA.733y.VxoEu-O2g4Br

Going all in hardly ever works and doesn’t really improve a team’s chances. The Padres went all in on Soto and didn’t make it past the NLCS. I don’t see the point of going all in.

No the trailers looked like garbage and the reviews so far have confirmed that.
-
Maybe not benched but he should only see RHP and sit against LHP. He is a negative to the team against LHP. Now just need to find a right handed bat to platoon with him.

While everyone is worrying about Regnifo, Perkins, and Ortiz and rightfully so it feels like Frelick is being overlooked. If you take Regnifo and Ortiz out of the equation, Frelick has arguably been the Brewers worst regular this season. Put it this way Frelick is worse than Hamilton so far this season. Right now, he owns a slash line of .222/.292/.304 with a 70 wRC+ and -0.2 WAR. Over at FanGraphs, he has been a negative contributor both offensively and defensively, so he is not really providing much value on either side of the ball. That said, his splits against right-handed pitching are actually respectable, so maybe the answer is giving him a platoon partner against lefties. Frelick's splits: VS LHP: .120/.182/.200 for a wRC+ of 8. That is not a mistake that is his wRC+ against LHP. VS RHP: .269/.341/.352 for a wRC+ of 99. Mitchell is currently being sat against LHP but I believe the Brewers also need to sit Frelick against LHP. The Brewers definitely need another RH batter in the OF as neither Mitchell or Frelick should be seeing LHP going forward and no Frelick seeing a lot of pitches is not a positive when he does absolutely nothing after seeing all those pitches. Frelick's statcast info:
-
This is the Bucks we are talking about here. BTW I don’t mind Ham coming back I think he got a bit snake bit by Lebron. Defensively he is a good coach and for player development he is rather good there also. Offensively and drawing up plays he is not all that good at that. He is fine as a support staff coach.
-
Bobby Witt would probably be the only player I would consider going all in for. Everyone else no thanks.

That was a bad sequence by Sanchez. Needed to throw something other than the sweeper or cutter against Hernandez. -

Ball kind of died and Frelick got too much air under his throw and the same with Turang. I know the stats say otherwise but Frelick’s arm looks well below average for a RF. -
Ham will be back with the Bucks. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7289959/2026/05/23/bucks-darvin-ham-taylor-jenkins-nba-coaching/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.klA.ueEZ.W44THLKPFhta

In this scenario the Bucks would keep Brown. They wouldn't even entertain the idea of flipping Brown. The rumor is that the Bucks want to be competitive for next season if that means Giannis resigns then that means Giannis resigns. If they need to trade him it will be for another superstar player to make them competitive for next season. From what I have seen there are no plans from the Bucks to tank or to do a full rebuild. It is either Giannis returns or Giannis is traded for another top tier superstar. There is no in between for the Bucks.
-
Doubtful he lasts beyond this season and I am not sure he lasts beyond the trade deadline. Unlike Ortiz the Brewers probably don't see a long term future with Regnifo. With Ortiz the Brewers probably see a serviceable utility player though it looks like Hamilton has surpassed Ortiz in that thinking at least for this season. At some point in the season we will be seeing Pratt and Williams up. The Brewers will drop Regnifo before they drop Ortiz.

Ke'Bryan Hayes is having a historically bad season so far though it looks to be a back issue related but a 12 wRC+ is extremely bad. His slash line is absolutely brutal .142/.195/.225. Not sure what the Reds were thinking when they traded for him as they are still on the hook for $29mm after this season, this includes a $6mm buyout for the 2030 season. While not the worst contract but still for the production they are receiving at 3B this is horrible even for about $8mm a season. The best case scenario for Hayes into his age 30+ seasons would be basically what the Brewers are getting out of Ortiz right now. Still not exactly sure what the Reds saw in Hayes to make this trade last year. Yes they needed better defense at 3B but the offensive negative of Hayes is just not worth his defense. The Reds really bailed out the Pirates on this one.
-
The current rumors are that the Bucks want a superstar back for Giannis in a trade and are not specifically looking for young players and picks back in a trade. They will take the young players and picks but what they really want is a replacement for Giannis. I don't see them trading with Orlando because of this and Banchero I don't think fits that definition of what the Bucks want in return. I think it is closer to the Boston proposed trades of Giannis for Brown plus some picks.
-
If you believe the Bucks want a superstar back in return for Giannis then it doesn’t work at all. There is basically no starting point for this trade.
-
Finally watched The Boys finale what a load of horse poo wait no that is insulting to horse poo. Just absolutely lazy and pointless writing.
-
The Boys apparently had a bad season finale. I haven’t watched yet but this season has been a slug to get through. Pacing is off and the characters are just meh right now. Even the action scenes are just bleh.

I think you let hitters go to FA and take the draft compensation. With pitchers you trade them before they hit FA. The risk of injury for pitchers is far harsher than with a positional player. Meaning if a pitcher gets injured it will hurt their value far more than it will hurt a positional player. A shoulder injury to a pitcher is far more concerning than the same injury to a positional player.
