    The Super 2/arb eligibility rules are going to be a significant topic of discussion in the CBA talks, and if they change (which seems really likely even if a hardish cap/floor structure does not) it will be interesting to see if the guys whose call ups might have been delayed until after mid-May in 2026 will actually end up having to wait longer than they otherwise would before getting to arbitration or the free market. Just speculation on my part, but some of the call ups from highly ranked prospects this season probably wouldn't have happened 3 years ago. Part of that might be a recognition that MLB continues to skew younger than it was 15 years ago, but it's also possible that those owners and front offices don't really expect the super 2 rules and the extra year of control to be in place in the next CBA.

    I mean, when the MLB.com beat guy is starting to ask these questions there's a significant likelihood he knows this has been a topic of discussion internally and hasn't been able to report it. I love McCalvy. He's a lot better than some of the other MLB.com beat guys but you know he knows a lot more than he ever reports.

    Probably just wants to be able to brag on discord that he actually talked to a human being named "Buster"

    That will never not be funny. Still not as stupid as him arguing with a fan during a game a couple of days ago.

    The nature of my baseball fan psychosis: I will 100% turn this game off (and that's true for the rest of this series) if it starts to go sideways. 😂 I'm pretty good at this point just enjoying the ride when it comes to MLB regular season fandom, but there's too much of the bitter little 10 year old left in my psyche to stick around and watch the Cubs do well against the Brewers. Too much latent "trauma" from watching childhood friends who were "Brewers fans" become Cubs fans once WGN started broadcasting the Cubs nationwide via cable in the late 70's. I know that sounds bizarre to anyone under 50, but if you ever wonder why you run into random Cubs fans north of Madison/Fondy/LaCrosse who don't have family ties to Chicagoland and who say their "Dad is a Cubs fan, so..." dollars to donuts that's why. I was more than happy to listen to Uecker on the handheld transistor radio that ran through batteries like water but a LOT of folks in the part of small town Wisconsin space-time continuum in which I grew up became Cubs fans between 1978 and 1984 because they could watch the games on TV. (Many briefly came back and acted like they never left in 1982, and then pretended they'd always been Cubs fans after 1983.) Let's Go Brewers! (clap-clap-clapclapclap)

    Man I hated the Twins when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and the Brewers were in the AL. They used to play the craziest games and the Twins seemed to be the only team that could make Yount lose his cool on the field.

    I'm slow to figure this stuff out but I find myself wondering in retrospect how much of Stearns success in Milwaukee can be attributed to Arnold. I don't want to be unfair to Stearns, but Arnold arrived in Milwaukee in 2015 along with Stearns. Stearns is certainly entitled to credit for staffing out a talented front office and with Arnold staying in Milwaukee Stearns couldn't take all of the staff he put together here with him. The sample sizes since Stearns landed in NY is still relatively small, and it's interesting to me that his best moves in NYC thus far (since it's far to early to evaluate their international signings/drafts) came when he took a pretty conservative approach to adding to the 2024 squad that made the NLCS. Since the Mets started getting more aggressive and tried to leverage their stack of chips (i.e., $ and market size) into building a team that can beat the Dodgers things have gone less well, obviously. I was pretty salty with Stearns when he left even though I get wanting to go to a team you grew up following but I feel a little badly for him now. It's trending towards a "be careful what you wish for" outcome currently.

    Had to spin by after the discussion of Chourio being "disappointing" elsewhere. 😂😬
  10. BarremlensTSSC
    He's 22. He's at worst the second best hitter in the Brewers lineup. Anyone disappointed in him at this point needs to look in the mirror and get real. And he's almost certainly not as good as he will be, barring injury. I was as pumped up as anybody for Chourio and loved watching him play in the minors. I'm not disappointed in him at all, fwiw.

    The non-challenge from Rengifo was particularly puzzling to me. He knew it was a ball and talked to the ump about it. He acted like he didn't think he had a challenge left.
  12. BarremlensTSSC
    I'll take 2 of 3. Let's go get the Cubbies.
  13. BarremlensTSSC
    My bad. I must have forgot making the argument that they shouldn't try to get better.
  14. BarremlensTSSC
    Never suggested otherwise.
  15. BarremlensTSSC
    I'm surprised they didn't all get struck by lightning and die. They won the series because their pitching dominated the first two games. The managed to lose one game because they didn't hit with runners in scoring position today. Of the two teams in this series the one that was damn lucky not to get swept was the Twins. Jesus ***** you guys. Lighten the hell up.
  16. BarremlensTSSC
    This is your quick reminder that, while they look likely to lose today, the Brewers have won 7 of 8, including 5 of 6 against two division leading teams, 8 of their last 10 games, are 3rd in MLB w/RISP, have one of the deepest pitching staffs in MLB, and would be a playoff team if the season ended today.
  17. BarremlensTSSC
    Better than this series for sure but they're 3rd in MLB with RISP in 2026. Team Splits: RISP | Baseball-Reference.com

    Brewers have the 4th youngest roster in MLB and made the playoffs 7 of 8 years. I get the frustration with the guys who aren't producing and got it last year with Ortiz in particular. The young guys play in the Brewers organization, and it's a winning franchise. You want them to bring up Lara and others, fine and I wouldn't mind it either but come on.
  19. BarremlensTSSC
    Pretty rough at bat from Rengifo.
  20. BarremlensTSSC
    Some decent takes from Ortiz that at bat.
  21. BarremlensTSSC
    It might have been. Obviously they know what to expect velocity wise, which is 1 to 2 mph less than before his TJ. His location was pretty poor all day. If he was locating the ball better he might have gotten through another inning.
  22. BarremlensTSSC
    Bats are going to have to win this one. Just one of those games, apparently.
  23. BarremlensTSSC
    Aside: Really hoping that Contreras can get his slugging back to where it was in 2023 and 2024, so when he drives the ball like that into the gap even when it's an out I'm hoping it's a good sign. That would do wonders for this lineup.
  24. BarremlensTSSC
    Yeli! (Also, that was like a combined 4 inches from a 3 run shot between the close out at 1B and the snow cone catch on Contreras' drive.)
  25. BarremlensTSSC
    That foul pop that Bauers caught was way tougher than the one he dropped earlier. Nice play.
