Wow, what an optimistic bunch! Last year, Homer said 162 and I said 90. No one else was over 89. Now we have almost 20 people predicting 90+
Let's go!
I will, of course, save these predictions to a spreadsheet for the end of the year.
Has it been noted here that Owen Freeman has a DoNot Contact on his portal entry? That suggests that he has an offer/destination in mind. He’s Schrodinger’s Center. Either already coming to UW or not (probably Kansas).
All right! Put your numbers up. How many wins during the 2025 season for the Brewers? Pecota says 79.6, 11.8 wins behind the Cubs. That is a 21-game flip from last year. I don’t buy it.
Whole numbers only, no .5 wins.
Put me down for 90. Come on Thursday! Go Brewers!
Zach Edey certainly got paid, despite being Canadian and on a student visa. I think if a player is paid in their home country, it’s ok. Maybe Indiana has some Balkan connections. Zrno committed to Indiana despite the uncertainty around Woodson. Perhaps they had a particular major he fell in love with, but it’s not outrageous to suggest that there was a nice $ package put together for him.
I watched game 1. Really fun that as a cubs home game, there were 30k dodger fans in jerseys and Let’s Go Dodgers chants. Nice to give LA some exposure to that market. Hope it helps that plucky little franchise sign some Japanese players.
That was sarcasm, but deferred until 2030.
I was at that stupid game. I agree that they struggled with Michigan’s bigs, but they still only gave up 67 points. UW only scored two points in the last four minutes. Gave up the last 6 pts of the game and lost by three. Make a shot, make the free throws, they walk out winners.
Just tell me if I am allowed to to complain about a strikeout with nobody out and a runner on third.
I think that the majority of complaints about ks, especially during game threads, are situational. When discussing individual players we talk about strikeout percentage, but situations like the one I mentioned above are still bad to get a strikeout.
We are entering the "did you hear about the statistician who drowned in a lake that averaged 3 feet deep" territory.
I’m working my way through all of the parks. Currently missing both Texas teams, both FL teams, ATL, Bal, Cle and the Mets. My favorite park is SF. The views, the food, the city location really are great.
Here is something I never understand. Pratt leads off the inning with a double. Then Chourio grounds one to short, Pratt takes off, is out by a mile at third. Announcers say, "That's what Spring Training is about. Knowing when to run..." Except that has been the same since Pratt was in Little League. Don't run on a ball to your right or make the first out at third base. They do the same thing when a centerfielder and left fielder miscommunicate on a ball. "They will have to work that out." Except it has been the center fielder's ball since forever. Always puzzles me.
