    So, some people would rather the Dodgers win so that they can say "See! The biggest spending teams win!", rather than have them not win so we can rightly laugh at them like the Padres and Mets of last year? The Mets who just got hit with a $100 million tax bill? Cut off your nose to spite your face, if that's what you're into. And really, salary cappers want the players to earn less money. They don't want them to be able to receive fair compensation as judged by an open market of buyers.

    If the long-term outlook for the Brewers salary was $20 million per year for the foreseeable future versus $200 million per year for the foreseeable future you can guarantee that the prices of tickets, merchandise, etc would be different. Saying that the largest expense for a company/team (salary) has no impact on the prices it charges flies in the face of every business everywhere, and plain old logic. Citing one teams temporary reduction in salary is not proof of anything. Yes, every business owner wants to make a profit, and if they can charge more without incurring extra expense, they will. Just like players would love to make more money with little to no extra work. This doesn't negate the relationship between players making more and fans paying more. Fans, after all, are the majority of the Revenue component of this business, if not ultimately the sole component.

    I want players to earn as much as they can. I want an affordable experience for fans. Unfortunately, these two desires are at complete odds with one another.

    Me as I rub myself with a couple million dollars: "Oh no, they're treating me like a piece of meat." Fans complain when the team doesn't spend enough. And then fans complain when the team gives out contracts to players that don't live up to the contract. For all we know, the Brewers offered him a 2-year deal backloaded with a team option and he didn't want it. The thought that teams can just give someone $10million dollars to likely do nothing is a joke when you consider how many decisions teams have each year. If you universalized that kind of decision EVERY team would be bankrupt. It would be nice if players got compensated solely by performance. Play well, make a lot of money. But then they'd have to accept that if you suck, you get absolutely nothing. This is a much better system for the players. Every league and players union would agree. edit: and this is as someone who LOVES Woody. I have a sizable collection of woody autographed cards.

    His swing has this in common with Trout's swing and also Rory McIlroy's in golf: Incredible Anti-rotation core strength. This is a major key to the golf swing and baseball swing speeds. The faster & stronger you can decelerate, the longer you can accelerate for & the faster your bat speed at impact CAN be. It also aids in controlling the swing through impact without sacrificing bat speed and allows you to stay balanced more often. Watch the video BrewersPD posted a few days ago. So smooth.

    I think that people are selling Luis short based on a 2023 that has likely been hampered by a hamstring injury. He had our 3rd highest positional bWAR in 2021 and our 2nd highest positional bWAR in 2022. 2021 (570 PA): .249, 23 hr, 75rbi, .789 OPS (OPS+ 112), 3.3 bWAR, 2.1fWAR - 24 Years Old 2022 (472 PA): .239, 16 hr, 47 rbi, .739 OPS (OPS+ 110), 3.1 bWAR, 2.3fWAR. - 25 Years Old His career with the Brewers came to an end because he dove head-first into 1B in his 1st at bat of the year. It was a shame. I would take a 3WAR guy any day of the week and he was average if not above average on defense at 3B too. I'm all in on Blalock now, however, and wish Luis the best of luck in Boston.
