It's disappointing that those sites are ignoring it. It is being covered by the NY Times, LA Times, and Forbes.

The TLDR - Dodgers massive local TV contract is funded by insurance companies run by the Dodgers owners, and they also put a massive debt on the books of that media company to avoid revenue sharing. Now what will MLB do about this?

Yeah, but now we are underperformming the Pythagoras win loss, unless Sanchez gives up after bunch.

Who had money on Yeli and Hamilton going deep tonight? And if anyone did, what are tomorrow's lottery numbers.

Probably depends on what happens with the CBA. Also depends on how the Brewers see Priester, Gasser and Sproat, but every year shows you can never have too many good starters.

This is what I'm thinking. They aren't focused just on winning a game or riding a winning streak, they want that ring and know they have a team that can do it. Listening to Murphy, there is a higher level of expectations and accountability on this team. Maybe this team isn't acting as goofy at times as last year, but they are focused, hungry and winning. That's not a bad thing.

I'd be hard pressed to say that the difference between Skubal and Henderson this season is worth the remaining 4-5 seasons of control of Henderson alone. Trading him plus top prospects would have been a big loss, unless there was an accurate crystal ball saying that the move guarantees the Brewers win it all this year.

That hit from Ortiz made me wonder if they put astroturf in Dodgers stadium.

No clutch hitting, but at least some clutch walking.

Well, Wilson Contreras is still going strong at 34.

Chourio on a hot streak is just fun to watch.

Wacha would move the needle as far as getting the whole staff to the playoffs in decent shape by regularly going 6+ innings. He's not going to be another ace like Skubal, but he would help.

After all those hard hit outs yesterday, the Brewers deserved that two run bloop double.

You could argue that the 82 Brewers getting Don Sutton help push them enough to get to the WS. Might not have even made the playoffs without him.

With that pitch, starting way inside and coming back for a strike, he needed to be guessing curve to expect that it would come back over the plate and swing at it.
