Very little if any chance. Brewers will not commit to a 6 year deal. Bryant remains the home run hope for me.

A lot of big names signing today. Gonna be a crazy 48 hours til the lockout.

You do a really nice job summarizing things. I feel the same, I do think more big signings are coming as a lot of the chatter is pointing towards agents wanting deals done before December 1st lockout.

I mentioned earlier I thought this would be a very busy early offseason and it sure appears to be going that way. Would be nice to see the Crew get a bat. Wonder if a deal for somebody is already out there. Either way, wanted to pick up the chatter a bit. Boards been a little quiet last few days.

This is all great and what not but there wasn’t a strike looming in the all of those years. Seems like a lot of activity going on early in the offseason. Also the Braves signing Pina makes me incredibly sad. Mostly because of how much I hate the Braves and also because Manny is an incredible teammate.

‪The rumor of Hader being unwilling to both pitch more than 1 inning and being anything other than a strict closer appears to be true. Brewers and Hader relationship appears to be in a rough spot. Massive difference between him and Woody. I’m fine with moving on from him this winter. All of this crap has rubbed me the wrong way.

Not needing surgery means next to nothing where the severity of an injury is concerned. It only means that team physicians didn't need to intervene in order for the patella to heal on its own. Four years ago, I tripped while walking, fell, and broke my left patella into two pieces. Literally into two pieces. There was a very small part of the bone that was still attached at the very top, and my orthopedic surgeon (well, one of two) put me on bed rest for six weeks hoping that the bone would heal on its own. It did. The fracture completely healed. I'm much older than Yelich is (just turned 50 a few weeks ago). I'm not a professional athlete like he is. But if I have to, I can run, and outside of a little soreness afterwords, I'm fine. But putting torque on the knee, while bearing weight, is incredibly painful. I can't do it. Running, and swinging a bat, impact a knee in two completely different ways. The physics are completely different. Mickey Mantle destroyed his right knee in the 1951 World Series. The orthopedic surgeon interviewed by Jane Leavy for her book on Mantle postulated that he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus. The "Unhappy Triad" injury. Mantle played his entire career with a severely damaged knee. Only his neuromuscular genius helped to compensate for the injury. Mantle could still run like the wind, north south. He experienced no decrease to his burst speed. But he couldn't cut while running. At all. Different situation, clearly, but it goes to the discussion that this knee injury may not impact Christian's ability to run, but it may still be incredibly distracting, and limiting, where his swing mechanics are concerned. I am more concerned that it's a degenerative back condition that they're not talking about. There's no coming back to anything resembling an MVP form from that. Maybe he retires and the team collects insurance.

I love this baseball team. I’ve loved them since I was 6 years old listening to them on the radio. Today wasn’t our day, it was frustration multiplied. But some day, it will be our day. Some day, the Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the World Series. See ya guys next season.

Stearns needs to figure out how to build an offense this offseason. Cannot waste another year of elite pitching.

Not at all but he sure hasn’t pulled the right strings with the pitching matchups.

Lo Cain I need you to put everything into 1 swing and give us this lead. Please.

It's amazing really. Jace too. And gee, guess the result of the at bat? Does Craig even want to play anymore?

Can Counsell be fired for letting Maile get multiple postseason at bats. In fact, more at bats than Tyrone Taylor.

Can Hader go more than 1. I’m not talking 2 full innings but maybe 4 or 5 outs.

Feels like Brewers have been impacted by strike zone to a much greater degree then the Braves.

Massive pace of play problem. I love baseball but 5 hours of this isn’t good for anyone.

Strickland never came close to hitting his spot. Omar setting up high and outside and he continued to miss low and middle.

Top of the lineup due. Need runs. Let’s go Crew!!!!

Wow. Braves have committed some really bizarre base running errors this series.

Lauer struggling with command. Get someone up or get Hook out there.

Well… he does run the bases pretty well.

Well… he does run the bases pretty well.

Idk but I’d love him in Milwaukee.

Yelich is sooo bad.

It’s managerial malpractice for Craig to have him in the top of the lineup. I could understand him leading off with his OBP but other than that he should be no higher than 6. I appreciate the guts of Cain. Guy is fighting out there. Also Cain getting in scoring position to keep the 0 for RISP going is hilarious.
