He'd be making the MLB roster roughly 1.5 years earlier than Chourio. I don't know that you can make an argument he's got hype that he's "better" than Chourio. I'd say they're pretty similar at this point. I don't this one is better than the other, but again, you want him up before Chourio was called up without the 10-years of team control Chourio's contract afforded us. But... if you were to use the same trajectory, in Chourio's age 18 season, he finished the year getting into 6 AA games. Made at age 18, he got into 5 AA games. Chourio-19 spent the season at AA, then... end of the season got some AAA PA's. Chourio was the #2/3 prospect heading into this season. So we're expecting Made to go from 27 HiA games, just a couple AA games to give him some extra ABs and now he's going to spend part of the year in AA before moving to AAA and then jump over Pratt... who played a full season in AA this year and should start next year in AAA and he's going to contribute to next years team? This would be like expecting Chourio a year earlier to jump over Frelick at 19 and get the call up to the OF.... except at a MUCH more important position. And then again, I'll reiterate, Chourio ALMOST certainly doesn't start the season last year with the Brewers(in fact many debated that he should have) if he signed a contract where the Brewers get 10 YEARS of team control. With Made, if you force him up for the end of the '26 season, not only is there a pretty strong argument that's NOT the best for the team... but you're then heading into the 2027 season which... may not happen. That's a year of team control or... maybe half a year(pretty much a near certainty that it's going to be a significant chunk of the season that will NOT be played and players will almost certainly get credit for it). So upside- At 19 he's better than any MLB option. That's an exceptionally unlikely scenario, but you start burning up service time that starts next year, may continue into '27 and by the time we have a full season again in '28 and he's... 21/22, he's got 6+ years of team control. OR a marginal upgrade at best and burn through service time at 18 or just after he turns 19 and watch him leave at 24-25 when he's just getting into his prime years? I'll add this. If made wants to sign a contract this year for the MLB team whereupon he gets a 12 year deal that is for teh same as Chourio got, maybe a little more... and there are some incentives in there in the event that he's markedly better than Alex Rodriguez at 19 years old or 20 years old, both seasons, he was not reason to be in the MLB, then I would be more than happy to consider that scenario. I don't imagine the Brewers will be however.

PRINCE Fielder? Ok... that tracks!

Yup... I'm not arguing with your logic, I see it... it's just this is kinda it. I hope if we see Myers(and I think we'll see Myers) that he's sharp. Don't want to go back and belabor this, but I REALLY wish you'd have gone with Hall, Henderson and Hoskins on this roster. Not entirely sure who they'd have been over. I guess Gasser, Lockridge. But, these are the horses we've got. I don't think any of this matters unless Turang and Yelich can put together some good at bats.

I don't think there's anyone sitting. The 6 out save was a lot, but... it's the playoffs. You go into the 9th with a 1 run lead and lets say you've used up Koenig, Megill, Ashby... who else are you going with? I'd rather Patrick be down for tonight. But... we'll see.

REALLY have to win tonight. The way they lost that game yesterday... go down 2-0 and heading to LA... with Glasnow and...Ohtani... Just... trying to move past how is little temporary "Rawlings" tattoo on the back of Turang's leg would have tied last night up, but... it's all good!

Yeah, I understand how runs score with the bases loaded.. but you didn't address the average. Just that... 2 people score on a base hit(which isn't always the case at all). A sac fly scores one... unless there are 2 outs and then there's no sac fly. And Made came up and played like 3 games in AA. You assuming this 18 year old kid is going to jump to the MLB level is... WAAAY too much. You're assuming he's appreciably AHEAD of Chourio's pace... while playing SS. I HOPE he's Jackson Chourio. Though... on that front, he's spending probably most of last year(at LEAST part of last year) in the minors if he doesn't sign that 8 year extension with 2 TOs. He came up and he struggled pretty badly. Took him a while to adjust. -I don't actually think it's fair to expect him to be Chourio(but at SS)... but rather... well ahead of Chourio at SS... for a team with World Series Aspirations. I suspect Ortiz would out-perform Jesus Made next year late in the season and post-season.

Ok, but in fairness, every year we lost, people would talk about how "we need to win one for Uecker, get one before Ueck dies." And.. that would have been big. But, it's also be nice to get one before Selig passes.

Stand in there and take that Turang!

Just... find a way Brice. C'mon!!!

Contreras red zones are down and in... that's where Treinen throws the ball. Just... ONE swing here... c'mon!

I'm trying... one swing of that bat could really convince me!

GREAT AB for Yelly. Just... go the other way here William!

One time here Yelly...

2nd and 3rd.. 1 out! LETS GO JACKSON!!!!!!!

Keep the pressure on Sasaki here. Don't expand... Give Chourio a shot...

He'll get one... but you have to keep them where they are.

You throw someone else and give up a run and... then get something going in the 9th, you're kicking yourself. Snell's out now. But I understand why you don't...

We know. You've said.

That's fine. Our 21-year-old will just walk 'em off...

Just want to see one more Chourio AB at the moment. Give him a chance to do something...

Yup... pitching has done everything you could ask for. Turang needs to beat one out and get Vaughn up with a man on!

This is an incredible performance by Snell, but... it's still just 1 run. We HAVE to keep it there.

Yup. It was a joke that the poster didn't realize had been already brought up and belabored. 1-0 in the NLCS. Still have a chance to steal one from the vaunted Dodgers here...

Time for Contreras to jump on one...

You give Snell an inch or 2 outside on a 2-1 count... it just so much tougher...
