Is Jacob Misiorowski of being left off the postseason roster altogether? Same for Rhys Hoskins? Are the Brewers better off as the 2-seed, when they wouldn't wind up facing the Cubs in the division series? Don't worry, there's still time to meditate on the marvel of the Milwaukee Brewers putting themselves on the cusp of setting a franchise record for wins while maintaining the best record in baseball.

I'd like to thank @Ben Lepak as he'll cover Friday and Saturday night's Nashville game Link Reports for me while I'm out of state for a family wedding. It's a shame we don't have Biloxi tonight. I had a great time again in Link Report-Land in 2025, even when the complex games wear the keyboard out. Thanks to all for visiting with us here regularly.
