Lucas O.

Hancock has a pretty huge dropoff in underlying numbers home/away. Normally I wouldn't read too much into these type of stats but Seattle is the most pitcher friendly park in MLB. Home - 3.50 FIP, 3.30 xFIP, 3.49 xERA, 26% K-rate, 5% BB-rate Away - 4.58 FIP, 4.61 xFIP, 4.65 xERA, 18% K-rate, 6% BB-rate

To this point the Brewers have only officially retired the jersey numbers of players that made the HOF. Considering Yelich is very unlikely to make the HOF, I'd guess he goes the way of Gantner and Braun where the number is basically retired without officially being retired.

Brewers are amazingly run pretty much at every level but honestly I don't think anyone in the organization is doing it like the social media team. They are simply levels above anyone other social media team I have seen. Whenever they put out new content, it's an automatic that I'm going to watch.

Will he actually be on the 40 man come ST next year? He's out of options now and is coming off another pretty underwhelming season in AAA

The more I've thought about it, I think Bauers signs the QO unless he and his agent have strong indications that punishments for signing a qualified player will be removed in the next CBA. As it currently stands one of the biggest market teams would need to give up their 2nd and 5th highest picks plus $1M in IFA bonus pool to sign Bauers. Bauers had an amazing 2026 season and end to his 2025 season but this is still a guy with a very limited track record of being a high level player and he's 31.

Contreras wasn't even close to a finalist. He graded out as a fringe Top 10 defensive catcher in the NL this year

Pretty good for a DH!

Did they introduce all the players at the rally or just the ones who spoke?

Why should those things not be considered part of the pie? Would those things exist if it wasn't for the players and the games? Certainly not but this is where the subject gets messy. You can't accredit all of that revenue to the players and they will never agree on what portion of that revenue is accredited to players.

The owners aren't taking that position to level the playing field. The owners are taking that position because they want costs to be much more fixed and planned to help boost franchise valuations. There's never going to be a salary cap because the owners and players will never agree to what constitutes baseball revenue especially so with the popularity of mixed-use developments around stadiums likely to continue growing.

Agreed my only thing is I'm going to call it the JoJo Romero trade not the Dustin May trade like we all originally considered it.

I just don't think Joey can handle the pressure of the playoffs. He's been so bad every postseason for us. He's back to swinging at anything within a foot of the zone. He had two plays at 3B tonight both routine and both times he threw the ball in the dirt at 1B.

He pitched once and looked awful in the inning plus he pitched.

Yeah I really don't like the Hicks AB looking back at it. 5 straight sinkers all middle or away. Need to change it up whether that's a breaking ball or coming inside with a sinker. Can't throw 5 straight sinkers all to the same area and not expect to give up hard contact.

Anyone else really dislike this strategy? Feel like 3 outs away from winning the WS with the tying run on 1B you should not be trying to pitch to contact.
