    Is this the best Brewers team since 1982? And is this actually our best chance to win a World Series since that team? Their run differential of +135 is likely to be higher than any team since 1982 (assuming it nudges out 1992 of +136). Not necessarily trying to compare Brewers teams to each other, but compared to the league in any given year, has there been a better performing Brewers team since then? That run differential also is better than any team in baseball right now. I find this notable because in almost every other instance of a year where we thought we had a great chance (2021/2018/2011) there was at least one team that obliterated our run differential by double...usually many teams. The fact no team in baseball even has one higher than us right now is a big deal. Would be great to play well down the stretch, get one of the byes, and secure homefield in a World Series.

    I believe it is 8/120k for AWD. Looks like 2020s are easy to get for under $25k, though I have heard a better and (in theory) way more reliable battery started going in the ‘21s. So I suppose this may be a year off being a good plan for someone. You can find ‘21s, but they have around 80k miles $21k for a Model 3 with 40k miles or so. Seems a lot more logical for a normal consumer to find as a real option.

    Wouldn’t a Model 3 be the best used option? You could definitely find a used Model 3 for $25k or less…thus get a nice $4k or so tax credit. Assuming you can sneak under the income limitation.

    It is kinda dumb every EV comp has to be Tesla. Tesla is a luxury sedan and a Model Y has a $700 monthly payment assuming you put $4k down and assuming you have the tax liability to get the full tax credit. People comping a Tesla/Mercedes/Lexus don't really give a crud about saving $100 a month on maintenance. Telling the average person "Look! A Tesla is so much more affordable than a A-Class" is just kind of LOL level stuff. Article is kind of proof there really isn't a great EV option for the normal consumer. The best comps are the Lexus/Mercedes, but the Civic is actually what a cost-conscious consumer is buying. Thus, in the end, a gas-powered vehicle is still incredibly cheaper to buy/maintain.

    My first thought, why would you catch that at the 5 in this situation? Better to just pray it goes in the end zone and it probably does anyway. He had a shot to gain a quarter of the field.

    The Colts are insanely bad

    Crazy idea only down 10. Had they been down 17? Maybe..,
  8. MrTPlush
    Sure would be nice to see the Packers win against the Colts. Then just win one of the next three games and you are 2-2 without Love. That seems very realistic and doable.

    Technically an e-bike wouldn’t be allowed, no. I haven’t really seen it ever be an issue, probably because e-bikes are expensive and thus attract a crowd that rides respectively. Unlike you know…a moped or dirt biker rider would ride on a trail.

    They wisely dropped their terrible effort to force it to arbitration. Though something tells me the bad publicity will cost them more than the dude was even looking to sue for.

    Honestly, I am a little shocked Disney would even want to go down this route. Pretty gross look over a guy and a measly $50k lawsuit. Huge long term legal issue if they actually dismiss it based on a Disney+ free trial TOS agreement. Disney says man can't sue over wife's death because he agreed to Disney+ terms of service (msn.com)

    Lmao, clickbait at best. Braun hasn't played since 2020...and I am guessing he doesn't do 25% of the training someone would need to be doing just to try. Probably hasn't for years. I am sure he was happily waiting to be out of the spotlight ever since the PED fiasco. Now he just chills in Malibu with his family.

    It isn't a big deal if the car is fully electric. It is a problem when it is a hybrid. Because then it is a fuel pump AND battery/EV components. I think the belief is an EV is a lower cost of maintenance short and long term. Certainly, that is probably the case for the ownership tree until the battery goes. That is why I think it is all or nothing. Mixing the two into one vehicle isn't advantageous at all.
  14. MrTPlush
    Hybrids aren't that magical though. For people that don't live in a city and do a lot of highway driving there is virtually no value added. Especially these days when hybrids go for MSRP and have horrid incentives. You get some marginal MPG bump and spend $5k+ more for the car. You are losing money even at +10mpg. Plug-In hybrids are just as bad and the only way they aren't financially stupid is a massive federal tax credit. Hybrids are popular, but how many are actually coming out ahead on those purchases? Also, what happens long term when lower income people are forced to buy used cars with expensive battery packs? Will they become cheap enough we aren't causing financially strapped people to have $3k+ battery replacements on top of all the other things to fix on a car? One of the perks of ICE cars is the fact they are cheap to buy used and affordable to fix. Hybrids give you the best of both worlds...but it also gives you the worst of both worlds.

    Eventually teams will stop giving big money to SS's especially ones that aren't giving elite offense. The minors are now overflowing with middle infielders and there is no shortage. I think many teams are years behind the curve and are still stupidly giving big money like it is 2010 or something. Sub .800 offense from a SS is not as special as it once was. I wouldn't be shocked if Adames is the unfortunate start to teams not giving big money to SS's. Not sure I would predict under $100mil since he will hit FA at 29 at least...but I would not be shocked if he got notably under Swanson's figure.

    Romania is going to decline the change, right? It was all about how terrible it was to give it to Chiles and the effect on the Romanian girls mental health. But really, they will have zero issue robbing it from Chiles because of some delusional technicality of 4 seconds and even though the Romanian girl was literally the loser by skill/execution.

    To be fair, it isn’t really much of a relay. Basically just adding up 4 people’s 400 meter times. The 100 meter relay the transfers are actually a huge part and difference maker in the race. I presume a huge issue with it is the fact the US is so loaded. Sounds like a good thing until you got 3-4 people making the 100 and 200 meter sprint finals. They practice some during the week for the relay, but they end up with zero actual race experience all week.

    Kenny Bednarek, the WI Native, defended his silver medal in the 200m. USA basketball avoids a shocking upset and stormed back to beat Serbia. Took till the 4th Q for the USA to actually look like they wanted to win and tried working as a team.

    My first thought when I saw the pondering of charging for a ballpark village was "Wow, this is what the state gets for giving the money before knowing what it was for and before the Brewers would commit to a ballpark village." I can't say I am surprised, but it is still pretty pathetic. Hopefully the Brewers can be like every other sports team under the sun that made an entertainment district and find a way to make money with something that is at least free to get in the front gate. As far as the insanely expensive all-inclusive areas, I don't know, that seems like a REALLY steep ask for the economical Wisconsin market. The current options are very economical and cheap...and even then often times are not filled with groups. Often they are much under the max capacity. Are Milwaukee businesses really going to go crazy dropping $400+ a ticket to take their groups there? I think a lot of it comes down to the lack of attendance, at least in certain sections. The club outfield is a notable ghost town. You could blow that up and just make expensive areas.

    That finish was crazy. He went from in the race, to looking like a distant 5th place, to somehow storming back for the gold. Rooks steeplechase finish was equally impressive.
  21. MrTPlush
    I find a few of the things pretty surprising. Revamping the family area and wanting to charge for it, especially considering it is in the terrace level, as a weird direction to go. Though I imagine the reaction to that will be negative enough it never sees the light of day. I also found the whole charging for a potential 'ballpark' village pretty odd. I guess it depends on the details, but I don't know why you would make it in a way that it has an admission. I don't know of any other entertainment district that has a generic admission like that (minus a special event occurring).
  22. MrTPlush
    The Brewers sent out a survey today asking for opinions and interests as they embark on renovations, so check your email. A few concepts were put up for consideration: 1) A revamped family area in the terrace. After answering questions about it, it then hints at the possibility of charging a special ticket package price to even have access. (Yikes) 2) Entertainment district for year round activities. It again asks if you want to pay for it (on non-game days). 3) VIP parking area and potential valet. 4) Fancy Membership (thousands $$) 5) New premium seating areas So basically renovations for people spending big bucks and a reduction in economical areas of the ballpark.

    I mean, who cares? At worst it is a fun and goofy concept. Should we really fault the MLB for trying to grow interest in the game? There are almost 2,500 games a year
  24. MrTPlush
    With how cautious they have been anything more than .25 cut would be incredibly shocking.
  25. MrTPlush
    With that skid no team is currently on 100-win pace. The last year no team won 100 games was 2014.
