Just visiting streamers websites I'm seeing these deals: Sling Orange + Blue is $27.50 for 1st month, then would revert to $55 per month (no access to local Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS affiliates etc.) Hulu w/ Live TV has a good deal going, Get Hulu + Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+ for $49.99/mo for your first 3 months. Offer ends Oct 12. (honestly, the wording on their website is confusing, it might go to their regular price after Oct 12 regardless so I'd be careful there) Reg price is $77 per month. YouTube TV is offering $54.99/mo for your first 3 months. Then $73 per month. Fubo just has the week free trial and then regular price of $75 per month. DirecTV Stream is offering $65 per month for first 3 months, then it goes to $75 per month.

As far as saving money, eventually games will be broadcast on Fox for the WS. If all you're worried about is watching the Brewers then cable channels will get you coverage up to the WS, possibly even including ALDS and ALCS games if they are simulcast on FS1, which it looks like they will be? But the WS is Fox only. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/2023-mlb-playoffs-world-series-schedule-how-to-watch-dates-tv-channels Sling would be ideal except you can't expect them to have a local Fox channel unless you live in Milwaukee. But if you lived there you could get a cheap digital antenna and get an over the air signal just as easily. If you are outside Milwaukee though (or outside Green Bay, Madison etc.) the digital antenna option becomes trickier. I'm in the Fond du Lac/Oshkosh area and I could never get a Fox station on the digital antenna, from Green Bay or Milwaukee. Sling would cover all the cable stations though and I thought I saw that they had a deal going for half price on an Orange and Blue package for your first month, so something around 27 bucks. Maybe save that Fubo 7 day free trial for use during the WS and hope it doesn't go to game 6 or 7 lol. Or find a friend or bar for games 6 & 7. That's all if you're trying to save money and just have a subscription for 1 month. If you're willing to just get the 2 months and cost isn't an issue then just go with something like YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV or Fubo. They all cost around 70ish bucks per month plus taxes etc. I've used YouTube TV and it's a really good service IMO.

Wowzers. I hate that my first thought was that I hope the Bucks don't get Aaron Rodgers-ed. But it's not like injuries haven't been happening to Giannis, Khris or Jrue anyway.

If not this year next year for sure.

Love watching that run differential grow.

You don't throw money at a manager in the same way you throw money at star players. Bruce Bochy is rumored to be the highest paid manager in MLB at around $6M/year. Counsell is rumored to be currently making $3.5M/year. In what world does his salary negotiations get so crazy the Brewers can't come close? So Counsell is in line for a nice pay increase. Even if he goes to New York for a little extra that for some reason Attanasio doesn't offer him, NY has higher income taxes and a higher cost of living compared to Wisconsin. Plus the hassle of moving. We know his immediate family lives in WI but what about other family? If the people he prefers to spend his time around are here and he likes managing for his hometown Brewers it seems like a long shot that he'll leave. IMO if he chooses to go to New York, or elsewhere, it's because there's something going on between him and the FO or Attanasio himself that makes him want to cut bait.

Not really seeking advice but one guy in my league had both Rodgers and Chubb on his team this year. I wonder how his team will look after week 3...

Ahh the good ol' days when $3M per year was a nigh unthinkable amount of money to pay a ball player.

A hot dog at Dairy Queen is $3.29. A&W is $3.59. Culver's sells a corn dog for $3.49. I think your $4 price is just fine and I'd wager you serve a better quality hot dog than those places. Unless you're just serving a basic Oscar Mayer hot dog, then it's a rip off LOL.

Keston who? Mark Canha with an all time moment! Wooo!

The Jets won 5 of their 7 games against backup QBs and their defense was the healthiest unit in football. These are things you can't really count on to happen again in a new season added on top of a punishing schedule. One of their defensive starters is already out for the season (Chuck Clark/ACL) and EDGE Carl Lawson was out for the Bills game. Does that mean they can't have a winning year? Of course not. But even what they did last season, with that great defense, wasn't as great as it looks at face value. They need their offense to score more points which is the same problem they had last year. They've lucked into one win with an OT punt return TD. Check that one off the list of reasonably repeatable occurrences.

Fair enough, I just felt like the initial jumping on that poster was a little eyebrow raising.

Patently untrue and also qualified with an "I don't have the data" statement. Whew, it's so hard to tolerate these liars and their deliberately misleading statements.

And spending a 4th round pick for him... I glommed onto that little detail immediately.

No "I told you so's" from me. I know many have been frustrated with Rowdy and it makes sense. Glad he came through!

I'm not. If you wish to ignore the actual posts in the conversation that's your prerogative but there is a post where the person I was responding to continued to speak as if he was talking about Rowdy since his return before the peanut gallery jumped in to tell me it's about more than that.

Literally 2 posts above that: Context matters.

0-4 with 3 walks in 2 games since missing nearly 2 months and complaining he has a "sub .500 OPS" is more than a little over dramatic for my tastes. And that's all I'm going to say about it.

7 PA, how many hits would it take? 9? 17?

We are? He's been back for two games! 7 PA, 3 BB and an RBI. Sheesh.

What is it about the other call ups/acquisitions that suggests they did not deserve their time? I'm already on record saying I'd have been fine with Hiura replacing Winker but that doesn't mean the moves the Brewers made instead are not without merit.
