That's a great point. I thought Mexico City was similar to Denver, not a couple of thousand feet higher. That's a problem.

WIN A GAME ALREADY
-
I’m not pointing you but illustrating my core point: Mexico City is not that far from any MLB city but it’s not close to any MLB city. Thats a problem over 162 but mainly for the host city’s players.
-
They’re seriously considering SLC as an expansion team so that’s not really true. If anything, more high elevation teams existing is good for the sport, it allows for more exploration of the effects and how to manage it.

Article: Draft Bonus Details Emerge
Brock Beauchamp replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! -
The biggest problem with Mexico City is and will always be travel distance. Even Los Angeles is a significant flight away. The only city within what I'd frame as a reasonable distance is Houston. No city is ten hours away from Mexico City but even their division rivals would face significant flights and the burden on the Mexico City players would be brutal over 162. Attendance and TV rights would be lower revenue per person but Mexico has 120,000,000 people. The team would capture all of that. It's nearly quadruple the population of Canada. The phrase of the day is "make it up in volume" when it comes to a Mexican MLB team. And given the resounding success of Mexico in the WBC and the fact Mexico already has a strong baseball following, it's a market just waiting to be tapped by MLB. But then there's the travel issue.

And we need to get over the American interpretation that Mexico is a Mad Max hellscape. It's wrong that Europeans think that about America and wrong that America thinks that about Latin America. Are there dangerous parts of Mexico? Of course. But there are also loads of really nice parts with quite a bit of wealth.

I wonder how close MLB is to being at the end of the leash of extorting existing cities for stadium deals. Most of the stadiums are 25 years old or less and I think there's going to be increasing hostility toward post-Camden teams asking for new stadiums. And I suspect teams like the Jays will just get new stadiums when they're ready to do so, it's not as if MLB is going to take a team out of Toronto. Most of the truly old stadiums are local treasures: Wrigley, Fenway, Dodger Stadium... maybe the Angels ask for a new stadium relatively soon but locals seem to really like that place, even though I despise it (the Angels were my local team for eight years or so). I suspect we'll start seeing a lot more requests for assistance with refurbishment and a lot fewer requests for new stadiums. I still can't believe Atlanta allowed the Braves to pull the crap they did.
-
Woof. The Crew badly needs a good start from Lauer. The Tigers are literally the worst offensive team in baseball (one might even say they're offensive) with only 64 runs scored. There's no excuse to be losing against this team two nights in a row.
-
CHS Field where the Saints play didn't meet the qualifications for a AAA stadium. It was pretty new but needed more seating, I believe. That didn't seem to be a problem, as the Twins and Saints agreed to expand the stadium but I'm pretty sure for the first year or two, it technically didn't meet the standards of a AAA stadium. The Brewers could easily do the same thing in Biloxi.
-
The Tigers are a really really bad baseball team but somehow the Pittsburgh Pirates are not only in first place over the Brewers, but have the best record in the National League. lol baseball is stupid Anyway, The NL Central appears to have the best overall record in the NL at a glance. Just as we all predicted, right? lol baseball is stupid Take at least two out of three from the hapless Tigers, have a few laughs at Javy's expense, and let's get back into first.
-
The Brewers have the best record in the National League, are 7-3 in the their last ten, and try to win a series against the Red Sox today with Corbin Burnes on the mound.
-
No, the Braves would have changed their name with the move to Milwaukee, and those records would stay with Milwaukee. Maybe the Brewers name would have come back 15-20 years earlier had that been the case.
-
Agreed. Team history should be tied to the city, not the team.
-
Ugh. The thought of the Brewers leaving Milwaukee makes me nauseous. I think it’s really unlikely but definitely possible. We almost lost the Twins a few times in the late 90s and then the contraction fiasco happened. It was a hard time to be a baseball fan.
-
On April 21, we had over 2,000 users a day for the fifth consecutive day. The last time that happened was July of 2018.
-
I actually agree with a lot of this, but direct it solely at ownership of the team. I understand that teams will sometimes move and that sucks. Maybe baseball should require an ownership change before moving a team. That would allow local people to try to save the team and if they can’t do it, the team is allowed a completely fresh start somewhere else with new ownership in place.
-
It's possible but man, I struggle to see that being the case for baseball. Hockey, basketball, especially football, yes... but there just isn't anything special about any single baseball game most of the time. Will some tourists check it out? Sure, but having spent a lot of time in Vegas, I'm skeptical it will happen in the numbers needed to succeed. Honestly though, I hope I'm wrong. I hope the franchise revitalizes in Vegas.
-
Yeah, but the Twin Cities are way bigger than Las Vegas, 3.7m to 2.2m population. This choice seems... weird.
-
Awesome piece. Getting away from Wong turned out to be the right decision in the early going.
-
Throw the Pirates in there too, mainly due to Nutting. Nothing against the players.
-
Been watching the A's/Cubs series. Wow, the A's are horrible. A complete joke of a team and stadium.
-
I know everyone has PTSD over the Cardinals but that pitching staff is not good, I'm still confused why some projection systems had them ranked so highly overall.

Young Brew Crew Spotlight Poll
Brock Beauchamp commented on Farming the Brew's blog entry in Young Brew Crew
Personally, I'd like to know more about some of the starting pitchers in the lower minors. I haven't been able to follow them as closely as I'd like to. -
Are you speaking about the MiLB forum being too full of articles? Because I kinda forget to clean that forum up... pretty much every day. If that's what you're talking about, I'll try to be better about remembering to clean up that forum every morning.
