Didn't turn it off fast enough. One thing to get beat. Another to be unprofessional. Way to go Perkins. And with that big of negativity, see you next year! -
Well, probably time to wander off. I've had my fill of naive, non-competitive at bats the last few days. What a fun season it was! Also, how good is it to watch your team break the Cubs hearts both in the regular season and the playoffs? The end sucked but the year was fun. There are worse things! And none of the Brewers fans on this site had to resort to masquerading as a Cubs fan on someone else's site to try to feel like less of a loser because our team got trucked in both the regular season and the playoffs by a division rival! Go Brewers, now and always.

Brewers (Ashby) @ Dodgers (Glasnow): 10/16/25, 5:08pm CT

ugh.... 108 PAs is the equivalent of April 20th in the regular season. There are literally tens of thousands of ball players who have struggled over 108 PAs. If he was a bum he wouldn't have made the playoffs enough for you to complain that he's a bum in the playoffs. It's pretty frustrating at this point of his career to watch him swing over balls out of the zone and roll over everything else, which he's done in stretches for 3 years now when he's struggling. But this is no different than any slump he hit earlier in the season or that any ball player hits periodically. -

I still think they made Yamamoto look way better than he actually was by chasing out of the zone, particularly in the first few innings. Pretty sure Snell in game 1 would have carved up anyone. -
FWIW, I don't think it's designed for guys like you. I think it's designed for guys like him.

It's not an either/or situation. A cap, whether it's an NFL style hard cap or an NBA style cap/tax/exception structure would come with broader revenue sharing. Without some kind of spending/salary drag the large market teams won't expand revenue sharing because it's contrary to their interest. I agree universal or at least much broader revenue sharing is probably more important to the Brewers than a cap, but you literally can't get one without the other.
-
It's just a CBA vote. But they can't do a cap (or a floor, which is important) without the union agreeing to it. Otherwise it's an illegal restraint on commerce/trade. The union has never indicated any willingness to agree to a hard cap, although they have agreed to the luxury tax thresholds currently in place which is a form of soft cap.
-
Only quibble I had is that I think they had a shot to get to Yamamoto early. They chased a lot of pitches in the first couple of innings before he settled in, and as noted above I wasn't watching every pitch after the 5th. Be nice to get game 3 and have some fun.
-
First paragraph is probably pretty accurate, except I think they actually could do another $50 million without that much difficulty most years. The Bally disaster didn't help and I doubt they've made all that money back from the new deal. But I tend to agree that even assuming that's correct the incentive to get to $160 million payroll is pretty low when the reality is that doesn't make them any more likely/able to land an elite bat or a #1 starter in free agency. Where it might matter is in the retention of their own players as they near free agency. (Like Contreras, for example.) Honestly I suspect what they'll never admit is that they went into this season anticipating that they'd take a step back and that it was a transition year in the rotation while a handful of pitchers continued to develop and that as a result (and the flux in the RSN market and the TV deal) the incentive to add payroll was even lower than usual leading into the 2025 season. Unfortunately that is likely to continue this offseason with a lockout looming in 2027. Attanasio, and other small and midmarket owners, are probably likely to try to minimize big cash outlays in the next 18 months if, as seems likely, they're anticipating lost games and lost revenue at the start of the 2027 season.

Really enjoyed the bottom of the 1st inning! Couldn't deal last night, stayed off line for the most part, and when it went 4-1 I put the game on the laptop and flipped the TV to the USMNT match against Australia. Not much fun to be had after the 1st.
-
Yelich's walk in the 9th was a good sign for him anyway. His first two games against the Cubs were very good and good enough. Been rough since though. Turang has been struggling for a bit now and he was fooled badly on strike 3 in the 9th last night.
-
No worries. Go Brewers!
-
Cheaper than going to Milwaukee and I don't get distracted by worrying about wins and losses or salaries. Gets me back to just enjoying the rhythm and aesthetic of the game. MiLB is in many ways a purer form of baseball than MLB. And I can get home in about 10 minutes too.
-
Hey that's true! I go to a ton of TRats games and he got HBP constantly in Appleton. Saw that continued in AA too. lol
-
Meh. Would have been worth extra innings if Uribe hadn't walked in a run. Listen, I've been following the Brewers since 1977. I get the frustration with MLB. Really I do. But if you look for something to be upset/negative about in baseball, you're gonna find it. The Brewers are in the NLCS! It makes no sense that they're here given MLBs structure. And yeah, they're probably going to lose the series given that the Dodgers just absolutely detonated a much wealthier and healthier team in Philly. Try to have some fun with it! Or maybe try not predicting doom with 3/4 of your posts, at least? I mean, do what you have to do. I'm expecting defeat this week but I'm going to try to enjoy what I can because I don't know when they'll be here again.
-
Yeah that's fair. Played pretty good defense tonight fwiw.
-
Yeah. I said it to but I was laughing when I said it. Only guy I've watched play whose instinct were to always get hit was Fernando Vina. He was an artist of the HBP>
-
Hit a home run in in a game 5 elimination game 48 hours ago. That was bad, but he hasn't been bad for the "entire" playoffs. Just bad for most of it.
-
Ah well. Get 'em tomorrow!
-
Just awful pitch selection there . Foot above the zone. Jesus. They were trying to give it away.
-
stop dodging HBP! lol
-
lol at Contreras with the fist pump and bat spike for a walk
-
Sasaki has been lights out and Snell missed time earlier this year. I wouldn't have even considered bringing him back out over 100 pitches myself.
