  1. It's an exciting time to be a fan. The offense is coming around and the top three starters are (mostly) crushing it. Notch a few more wins, secure the division, then start aggressively resting guys and setting up for a postseason run.
  2. Well, the magic number is down well into single digits now as the Brewers have pushed their lead over the Cubs to 6.5 games.
  3. Absolutely. I'm a big believer in the team owning the stadium. If the government wants to offer them free land and tax subsidies on revenue, that's the full extent the state should be involved. No money should go directly to the team for producing the on-field product. The additional upside is that if a team owns the stadium, they have more buy-in to the community and more of an established presence in a metropolitan area.
  4. It will be interesting to see how the Brewers deploy Mitchell in the postseason, if at all. Teams can almost always use a speed guy on the bench but given this team's overall speed, I'm not sure if Mitchell is needed. I suppose it will all come down to how well and quickly he rehabs in Nashville.
  5. After 50 or so years, I think people have probably let it go. I'd probably let it go after that long, too. But in the short term, I'd resent the hell out of seeing the Brewers in Nashville or Portland or wherever.
  6. Heheh, I'm also a Twins fan. I should re-state: I'd never be a fan of a team that moved away from an area in which I cheered for them. I have no ill will toward fans receiving the relocated team.
  7. $700 million package: -$400 million from state -$200 million from city, county -$100-125 million from Brewers I know it's just how the world works but these numbers are upside-down from where they rightfully should be.
  8. I'm not sure when it happened but FanGraphs has now 100%-ed the Brewers to make the postseason!
  9. I'd never cheer for a relocated team. I'd either leave the sport or find a different team.
  10. Unless I hallucinated it, the Nationals were competent for a stretch of the season not all that long ago. That appears to have ended, as they're back into free fall. Time to take advantage of a bad team and whittle down that magic number.
  11. I have consistently underestimated him and continue to be wrong.
  12. I think Severino might be too much as an add-in - he's having a helluva season in 2023 - but mostly, I agree with this. Severino isn't way off the mark, he's just having something of a breakout year. I'm not particularly high on him but the Twins might be.
  13. I'm tossing around an interesting idea we may add to the handbook we're writing for the offseason. Would you trade Joey Wiemer for the Twins' Jose Miranda? I think the Twins would have to add a little to the package. Miranda is older and coming off surgery. He's not a good third baseman but has room to improve and can always play first base. He's also very cheap for some time. But given both teams' roster needs going forward and their particular strengths, it's an interesting idea.
  14. In my eyes, that's the only goal of significance. Lock up the division before the Cubs series and then use those 4-5 days to rest players and line up your postseason rotation.
  15. Surprisingly, at least to me, is that the Cubs' recent struggles are due to the offense cooling off. I'm skeptical it will stay that way for long. The Brewers just need to keep it at 4-5 games going into the final series of the year.
  16. I would split the difference. I'd give him days off before or after a team day off. I'd rest him against every lefty. I'd squeeze in another day or two or rest if it makes sense. In the final couple of days of the season, I'd give him the days off. Yelich in October is more important than Yelich today.
  17. The Brewers magic number for the division is down to 13. The Brewers can win the series against the fish or will walk away with a split. One outcome is better, both are fine at this point. The Cubs are off today before heading to Arizona to face the Diamondbacks.
  18. The last three games have been something else. It's hard not to be over-the-moon excited about this team right now.
  19. That's your opinion and that's fine, I guess, but you seem to be under the impression I'm an "investor" when I do more work on Brewer Fanatic than anyone else. I'm here all the time because I'm working on the site in some capacity all the time.
  20. Oh, this is for sending to people, not contributions. We actually almost got Dillard to write here last year. Talked to him once about it. But we’ll be sending the product to some Brewers employees for sure.
  21. Yeah, I threw that in there just in case it spurred an idea in someone’s head of a person they follow on YouTube or TikTok or something. But in general, I find “influencers” to be rather useless.
  22. The forum *was* dying. It had lost over half its traffic from 2019 to 2022. That doesn’t mean it was dead. That doesn’t mean it didn’t have value. It obviously did and does.
  23. There's obviously Curt Hogg but who are the Brewers journalists, influencers, or creators you follow and respect? We're building a journalism list for a book we're building over the next couple of months. Any help you can provide with names is greatly appreciated. Who is the lead over at Brew Crew Ball? Anybody know? Curt Hogg: Journal-Sentinel Ryan Topp: MKE Tailgate Podcast Adam McCalvey: MLB
