A true Twins Zen Master. A man who has seen some things. A man's man, as it twere. A proverbial fox in the hen house of predictable playoff fandom hand wringing.

I'm not One to make the Packers Game Threads but I saw this this morning and wanted to ensure it was up top front and center. In honor of the one hour we had a Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones backfield, I share the piece Jonesy published in the Players Tribune ahead of Sunday's game. Man, just a class act. Some Packers remain Packers forever. Jones is definitely one of those Packers for me. Just a class act. This being said, have a great rest of your season Jonesy. Sunday, I hope you cough it up.🤭

AZ Fall League - Rosters, Schedule, Streaming, etc.

Very surprised re: Wilken. Very excited about Crow (tho, if we go off of Henderson's AFL back when we shouldn't expect a ton of PT - any exposure is good exposure, however). Big opportunities for Lara and Baez. Hopefully, Manfredi continues to get high-leverage relief moments. Big opportunities for Merkel and Childers to build on their bullpen resumes. Assuming, of course, the starter coverage for Biloxi was emergency fill-in. I don't know how to feel about Birchard's season at present given how much of a literal struggle it has been. I simply hope he improves and walks less batters in his opportunities. I feel we are baby stepping here. Has to un-level his heater and find more meaningful ride. Has to find accuracy in and around the zone. Very surprised Hedbert isn't getting an opportunity but given the numerous defensive lapses we witnessed late at Wisconsin he may have forced the pivot. I had heard he was a near shoe-in a month ago - and, as we know, things change.. Now, I wonder if he doesn't go to Australia - a step down in competition but much needed PT regardless. -
I just left my Brewers hideout to scope that 'Merican League Wild Card race. One word: Yikes. What an absolutely brutal finish for the Royals and Twinkies.

Man, that is a really poor look by the Bucs FO and ownership. Like, come on now.

Do the right thing, Brewers. This is not hard.

Precisely why I added it here and not the Minor League FA thread😅. They've invested 8 years into this trajectory. There is no world I live in as a Brewers fan where Ernesto isn't simply a Bauers-level roster experiment next season on the 40-Man. And, it truly does feel like he is just scratching the surface and coming into his own. He has already proven he has the plate discipline evolving at a very admirable rate. Just put him on the 40-Man and let's be done with it.

Ummmm. Yeah. Just going to leave this here:

As Daniel mentions above, stay current in our Winter League Threads (Aussie-Land, Dominican, Venezuela etc.), the AFL, the Rule Five Protections (and unprotected decisions), Minor League Free Agent signings, and the International Free Agent Market (January 2025). I just made a new thread pinned atop the 'MLB Draft & International Signings' Forum HERE featuring this lil juicy nugget from JSOnline Brewers Beat Curt Hogg: Our Link Reports stop but the season never really ends. 😅

No time better than the present to get this going. We have some early rumors of possible Top 50 signings imminent for the Crew:

Game 3: Packers @ Titans - Sunday, Sept 22nd at 12PM

I thought Quay played a very solid game yesterday. I know Cooper got some pressure knifing through that Line (man, he's a missile) but behind all that action toward their backfield, Quay really handled the action quite well - passing off crossers and guarding the check downs in the flat. Can he carry that over to a much tougher test next week? Also, Tucker Kraft is such an exciting player. So grateful they grabbed him. What a complete TE. -
Ballpark factors meant very very little in EBJ's 2024 offensive struggles. By my eyes, I saw three swing changes in-season. The second being the most egregious as it had nuanced moving parts needing to synch like a finely tuned Swiss watch to simply put a barrel on the ball. Before he had moved to the 7-Day at season's end he had completely simplified his pre-swing load to a basic bat on shoulders-like approach - 'See ball. Hit ball'. Off the top of my head, this happened over the final 2 weeks (?) This is likely where he will want to continue working and tweaking his mechanics. This is all a long-winded way of saying: his old swing didn't work at Double-A. His new swing definitely didn't work at Double-A. I have hopes his simplified swing will, in the least, give him a chance to find some success. I don't have the data in front of me, but I recall EBJ hitting far too many pop-ups with fairly weak exit velo throughout his second half (I'm too old n wearied to think back to the Shuckers first half - OR maybe I conscientiously chose to forget that half entirely <shivers uncontrollably>😅).

What. A. Season. I mean this is literallly a historic showing in his first year as a Brewer.
-
Wes Clarke solo Johnson. His 18th as a Sound in 2024! 11-0 Sounds.
-
2/3 IP and 2 K for LHP Bryan Hudson. Does he pitch another frame?
-
Epic way to finish, men! LOVE this' Man, Roller had an awesome September. Good for him!
-
We can be near certain to see LHP Bryan Hudson get one more stint to work on that sweeper. This is day 4 removed from his last appearance. Mcgee is more than likely shooting for a 2.0-3.0 IP start (he did pitch a season high 3 2/3 IP back in early August) in what is essentially a rehab year coming off that TJ last spring. Let's hope he ends strong! One has to think McWilliams was called up as, generally, a fresh arm to handle a late inning in this bullpen special. Beyond that, I have to think McKendry is available as a possible inning-eater and RHP Shane Smith will likely appear for his last work of the 2024 regular season. Big moment for Yerzy in what has essentially been a lost season.
-
Two men on and the Sounds have added a run in the top of the 9th. They lead 6-1. Really nice to see them turn it around after a heartbreaking two-game double-header loss and then the bullpen meltdown (of sorts) in game 3. Assuming they hold on, they now have a chance to end their season with a series split. Would be awesome to end on a three game win streak.
-
Could certainly happen. I just look at the double-function angle of getting in good graces with high-end players or coveted end-of-roster candidates who need Rule 5 protection, regardless. Patrick, Henderson, and Martinez Jr. all fit that bill. I lean Patrick given he's been phenomenal in the past 3 starts. He's K'd 6 tonight already through 4 IP working around a Solo Jack from a rehabbing Westburg (they're playing the Tides - Orioles Triple-A affiliate). That's 26 K over the past 16 IP with 1 ER allowed. Stellar output. Getting hot at the perfect time. Patrick is very much a guy who could repeat what we're seeing with Myers in 2025. Doesn't have the high-end velo Myers has but has a deeper pitch mix with a fabulous cutter.
-
Mejía has very sneakily had a fantastic season at the dish as a rotation backstop with the Sounds. It has been a joy having both he and Navs as the primary backstops in the second half.
