Interesting they put Made above MIsiorowski. I don't know if I agree or disagree, but it's interesting. Misiorowski has really won me over this season.

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

Rhys Hoskins - 9 Cleveland Guardians - 5 (feels that way anyway)

Pretty sure Yelich was tagged out three times there.

Yeah, I probably agree. I'm always curious how people feel about a guy throwing one pitch in a game.

Do you send out Uribe for the ninth?

What the hell. I leave for five minutes and the Guardians score three runs.

This right here is half of why I will never care about what happens to Pete Rose and would just as soon forget he existed. The other half of why is the whole "sex with a 15 year old" thing for obvious reasons.

To be honest, I felt more strongly about the gambling ban before MLB started openly courting betting companies left and right. It all feels pretty hypocritical at this point. And I'm a person who has never laid a bet on a sporting event, at least not that I can remember. I've gambled plenty of times but sports betting isn't my thing.

I just can't get worked up about gambling. Yeah, it shouldn't happen but I also struggle to get upset about it when we have some truly awful people who hurt actual human beings in the Hall but they didn't violate one specific rule about gambling so it's all good. Shoeless Joe Jackson isn't in the Hall of Fame because he took money to throw games. Charles Comiskey is in the Hall of Fame despite being a vile human being. So forgive me if I don't really get upset about Joe taking a few bucks over 100 years ago.

Sure, I'm not absolving Shoeless Joe of anything. But given that it happened over 100 years ago and didn't harm any human beings, I also don't really care.

I could not care less about Pete Rose. He seemed like a pretty straightforward creep of a human being. I'm far more interested in seeing Shoeless Joe get into the Hall.

It can hurt but what is more likely is that it delays their development. In extreme cases, it can really get into someone's head and they never develop. Would they have developed otherwise? Hard to say but it's possible. But what can more easily happen is that if you push a guy two levels and he isn't ready, he's so hopeless out there that he falls into bad habits that later need to be unlearned. Or he's so bad he gets benched and no longer receives the reps he should be getting. Either way, his development isn't only paused, it's pushed backward.

I turned on the game and literally two seconds later Chourio misses that fly ball. You’re welcome, I guess?

Yeah, I just don't see the Cardinals having enough to stay in the race. They're a non-entity to me in the discussion, especially when you look at the NL West and NL East. If the Brewers are faced with a wild card berth, there's going to be a ton of competition from those divisions.

As long as the Brewers are hovering around .500, I'm not super-concerned about their playoff chances. As this article highlights, HOW they're hovering around .500 is the most concerning aspect of the team. They badly need a shot in the arm, hopefully they can find one soon.

I'm not above criticising Arnold but right now feels WAYYYYYY too early. I don't think he traded Williams too late, I think he traded him at *exactly* the right time. He received a good return after using Williams to help the Brewers make the postseason in 2024. And he's doing all of this amidst a forced drop in payroll. I'm sure he would have LOVED the idea of spending $10m to go find a real third baseman. That wasn't an option for him this offseason.
