    Fun fact Matt Arnold was interviewed for the GM spot in 2015. He also interviewed for the Marlins and Braves that same year for front office positions. Also I believe it came down to Bloom or Stearns that year. Bloom is now with the Cardinals and could be their next GM. The Brewers definitely chose correctly on this one.

    I have been enjoying watching Pirate Software. He is really smart and down to earth when talking about video games. Also adding Preston Stewart as he explains military actions far better than most of the talking heads on CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, ABC and CBS. He explains a lot and isn't really selling any kind of politics with his videos. By far the best on reporting on the recent wars in Ukraine and Gaza. https://www.youtube.com/@PrestonStewart

    This feels more like being a fan of the Braves though the Braves in the 90's were able to win one WS. Then they win one more in 2021. Completely different teams but this run the Brewers have been on feels like the Braves in the 90's. It is the closest thing that I can think of the only other team I can think of would be the Blue Jays also in the 90's. Maybe we can go out and sign a Molitor type in the off season like the Blue Jays in '93.

    Growing up in the 90’s and watching some really god awful teams play and the last 6-years has been well worth it. Even if the Brewers never win a WS during this run I will be happy as long as they keep on winning. I never want to go back to the ‘93-2004 teams ever again.

    I could have sworn the Cardinals were supposed to overtake the Brewers by the end of July or was it the Cubs by the end of August or was it supposed to be now for the Cubs? The Cubs having an easier schedule were not supposed to lose these games and would be in first place now!

    Draft eligibility would be my guess.

    If you went back in time to the 1990's and you said there was going to be a DH who will hit 50 HR's and 50 SB's you would have been laughed at and ridiculed even if you go back to the early 2000's this would have been unthinkable. There is no way that Mo Vaughn, Cecil Fielder, David Ortiz or Frank Thomas would steal 50 and hit 50 HR's. But in 2024 Ohtani is about to reach that being only 2 SB's and 2 HR's away from a 50-50 season.

    I think a Model 3 depending on the year may only have 1-year or less on its battery warranty. So depending on the battery that is a $13k-$28k expense to replace the batteries. Probably be better off to just get a used model y as the battery warranty would still be good.

    There is a rumor out there that the NFL and the top execs of the power conferences are looking at creating a super league. It would be similar to European soccer where teams can get demoted. This would basically be the end of D1 college football. The top 60 teams would be playoff eligible for a 16 team playoff. If you finish below the top 60 you are demoted. This is about as far as they have gotten and it is just in preliminary talks right now. The players would become employees and not student athletes.

    Ford and Toyota will be shipping less EV’s to dealerships well because the EV buyers don’t go to dealerships. Expect to see less supply of Ford and Toyota EV’s at the dealerships. Ford has sold more EV’s on their website versus what has been sold at the dealerships. Ford actually ran out of stock on their website and the customers still didn’t buy from their local dealerships. Ford is currently looking to reduce their EV offerings to dealerships and will sell the majority of their EV’s on a direct to consumer model similar to Tesla. GM will also discontinue manufacturing the Chevy Bolt. The lower cost EV’s are dying fast as buyers for the lower end EV’s are just not buying them. For every Bolt that GM sells they lose about $9000 which makes sense as the Bolt is super basic and lacking features that are at that price range for other ICE vehicles.

    By swinging at pitches way outside the strike zone? I will have to remember to quote this when everyone is whining about Adames swinging at a pitch out of the zone.
  12. nate82
    I think Wilken is a lock because of the injury. I believe the Brewers will want him to get more at bats. The at bats being what they want him to get and results won’t matter. He missed a good amount of time this year. So the at bats mean more than the results.
  13. nate82
    I didn’t see a thread yet for this but then again I didn’t look all that hard. I am not sure on the pitchers who will make it but I think Wilken and Pratt are locks on the positional side. Beyond Pratt and Wilken I am not all that confident in predicting anyone else. This feels like a weird year as it was rather easy the last few years to list out 10+ who I thought would be locks for a spot.

    Adames is having a good season and will get paid this off season. There were some posters who thought the Brewers wouldn’t offer Adames the QO and it would be too risky to do so.

    Brewers just out scored the Badgers today.

    Usually it is best to swing at the first pitch against a pitcher that is struggling. That first pitch is more than likely is going to be a get me over pitch that will be in the heart of the plate. Better to be aggressive there than sit back and make the pitcher throw a strike.
  17. nate82
    That’s not a 3-run HR but I’ll take it.
  18. nate82
    Blah read it as aggressive.
  19. nate82
    Not sure how aggressive you can be when the defensive line is playing more on their side of the line even on pass plays.
  20. nate82
    Yeah no that is a dumb statement. Purdue, Iowa, Rutgers, Northwestern and Minnesota are all very winnable games. That is five games that are easily winnable games. Predicting only two wins from those five is just troll level of an opinion.
  21. nate82
    Ground and pound and the score is probably 72-3 now and Leonard wouldn’t be doing any better with the players on this team defensively.
  22. nate82
    Starting to sound like a broken record but Locke is horrible.
  23. nate82
    Defense has been fine it has been the offense that has been extremely bad. They need better defensive linemen as they are asking their linebackers to do way too much. As the game goes on the linebackers start to make mental mistakes as they are getting tired. Just way too much being asked of the linebackers. Locke is not a starting level QB. He has no clock and just sits in the pocket. He can’t even complete wide open passes to a receiver that had no one around them within 5 yards plus.
  24. nate82
    Another easy throw and Locke over throws by a lot.
  25. nate82
    Locke had an easy TD there and just over threw Pauling.
