If I was forced to choose I think I'd prefer Hoskins for $9.5 million less.

Counsell is getting the band back together. I heard they're doing a reunion tour with Barron Rodger's band.

Hoskins exercises 18MM dollar option for 2025

I have no problem with him staying but I wouldn't be surprised if he's traded. -
In the should have done this a year ago department, Bob Costas is retiring from calling baseball games. I wonder if he planned on doing so all along or if he, or someone else, took an objective look at his work this year and said enough.

I have a feeling Ohtani is the next in the fall off a cliff line. He's going to be going back to double duty next season which will be the first time he does that in his 30's.

Any reasonably sized highschool field should be enough to accommodate all their fans.

I saw a video of them doing a Metallica cover song as kids in 2015.https://www.inquisitr.com/2000765/three-little-girls-perform-metallica-cover-and-nail-it-video

People who stare at the phone while walking their dog. Had a lady today completely miss her dog eating a dead something. A couple minutes later she almost let her dog run into a bicyclist. Seriously people, is it that hard to look at the world around you when outside?

I think most of us are complaining that it's too easy for a few select teams to buy more bites at the apple. I don't want the World Series to be a glorified all star game. Nor am I interested in watching one.
-
I hope it is. The only way to get the change necessary is if nobody watches. I think MLB and the media have the mindset that the two largest markets in the biggest game is the best way to get ratings. I'm not sure it is anymore. I guess we'll find out.
-
If it is I'll do my part in making it the lowest rated World Series ever.
-
Really excited to see a potential Dodgers/Yankees world series.
-
I often thought the second gold glove was most impressive. To get one using a glove that heavy and inflexible must be tough.
-
If the goal is to change the system then having a few small market teams winning it all would probably force changes faster. If all the big spenders realized youth wins they'd stop paying big names and focus on accumulating cheap talent. The only way players would accept all the teams adopting the small market strategy would be if players got a certain amount of the total revenue. For that to happen owners would have to agree on some form of expanded revenue sharing. In a roundabout way small markets winning more often could lead to more revenue sharing.
-
I tend to adopt a team to root for but don't usually care too much. This time it's different. I actually care about them winning one. Mostly because of all the teams that have produced good teams a decent amount of time they are the one team that defies the more bites at the apple ideal. It's still amazing to me those 90's teams never won a single WS.
-
If there's a log jam I'd prefer they fix it via trade. Trying to wedge Frelick in at third to make room for Back in the outfield makes zero sense to me. Just leave him at first where we don't have a logjam.
-
What's the fascination with moving a sub .700 OPS outfielder who gets most of his value playing defense to a position he never played professionally?
-
Leave it as is would be my vote. If anything add two teams and make all the teams play the first round but I'd prefer it to be as is. The playoffs have never been about making sure the best team wins. It's always been about getting teams that have the chance to win four series in a row against quality competition a chance to win four series in a row against quality competition. I do have one radical, and completely impractical, change that will never get implemented but would be fun for fans. Have a set number of wins to make the playoffs instead of a set number of teams that make it. You can have divisions if you want but if they just had all teams play the same schedule and all teams that get to 90 wins are in.

Got to think some of them will lament not getting enough established, high ceiling veterans on their roster.

Brewers 2025 Starting Rotation
Thurston Fluff replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He has a $20 million mutual option and a $2 million buyout. There's no way the Brewers pay $18 million to keep him. -
I liked him better when he was still plain old Clarence Rodgers.
-
Those two very best players at their position have been there for several years and only now made it past the first round. They didn't even make it to the playoffs half their years together. If they are the difference then why didn't it make the difference before now? I think you're confusing correlation for causation.
-
They've had Alonso and Lindor for four years now and just won their first playoff series. I find your argument that is the key to playoff success unpersuasive.
-
I was more than a little surprised that didn't happen to Eric Rodgers.
-
The Brewers have Contreras and Yelich. Combined their career OPS+ is pretty so close to Lindor and Alonso as to be negligible. The only difference is one of ours missed the post season. To be honest I think you're reaching now to justify a predetermined conclusion.
