  1. so numbers wise….I’ll guess 7 years at 35 million….with an option at 12
  2. I cannot believe it’s about an extension….but ok. Seems odd to sit a week to get an extension de midseason.
  3. A veteran #2-3 type pitcher would cost half Skubal, you’d think, if only a rental. I think we’d be more in that conversation….not sure about Skubal’s health either for the risk.
  4. I think it is fair to ask what Perkins and Ortiz are doing on the team when each has options to the minors. They still would provide depth and could be brought up if injury occurs or if their presence/defense are missed. We also would like to see what Williams/Pratt and especially Lara could do! What more does Lara have to do?
  5. And a Woodman’s 6th Inning HR! Anyone know the winner?
  6. Scoring double digits now….impressive.
  7. Looked like Uribe had a wad of chew packed away y tonight…is this somewhat normal for him? Isn’t it illegal? Feels like naughty kid at school getting back at the principal for putting him in detention….ala Breakfast club.
  8. And they are all young! Great and all, sure….cheap, controllable years, but for most rookies and 2nd year pitchers the outcomes are all over the place. Please remember that All Star Miz was back in the minors at the end of August and September. I’m Expecting a veteran pitcher to help the staff come July
  9. We are in the market for a veteran SP or two…how things change.
  10. Any run lead….could be up 10…for pitching last 3 innings.
  11. Perkins is not safe…expecting Lara up any day now. There are innings for Lara to play now with Mitchell not seemingly at 100%. Perkins is there for late in season defense or a safety valve if Lara struggles. Renfroe’s glove looks suspect lately, which is going to lead to thoughts of why play this guy. Bringing Williams up to play 3B and a little OF feels right. Ortiz could be optioned…I can see that…for Pratt. But I don’t think it’s coming any time soon if the team is winning. Ortiz is like a starting QB that way only. If the team is winning with him providing something/anything (quality to exceptional d), he should be ok. Once the team has a difficult stretch scoring runs, the change could happen.
  12. If the Braves were a small market. So nothing like it.
  13. What is more impressive? Dodgers dominating, winning 3 World Series Championships over the last 9 years-including back to back- but doing it with limitless payroll - or Milwaukee making the playoffs 7 out of last 9-including 5 Division champ. and a couple of NLCS appearances- doing it with a bottom third payroll with over a billion less dollars? I know what is easily more valued, more desired, and more meaningful,,,, but most impressive? I’ll take the Brewers current run. Just truly remarkable and building steam! Top farm system, top prospect, and young star players are everywhere. And doing it in a league with limited revenue sharing and no salary cap….just so cool to be a a part of it. Gotta remind myself of this weekly…what we are seeing is very, very unique. Go Brewers!
  14. Pitcher A pitches well… Joe Schmo says to extend him…….. Im looking forward to a day when someone says to extend AFTER a bad start or two. Even then. That would say something! Confidence in the player, not just happy because of a great performance.
  15. Bottom 4 AL teams in payroll have division leads and a wild card spot as of today….. Cleveland, A’s, and Tampa lead…White Sox with a wild card. Never thought I’d see that this far into the season. Amazing.
  16. Anyone know who won the Woodman’s 6th Inning HR Contest with Chourio’s HR?
  17. I’m in the camp of letting this five 1/2 year ride play out….payng him about nothing for 3 1/2 years. Then look for trade, if healthy. He, more than the avg pitcher, is going to have arm issues, you’d think. Lots of wear and tear….bullpen closer arm throwing 75-100 pitches per game for 170-200 IP. And to extend him, we’d have to give guaranteed money for 7-8 years…and big money at that, to maybe save $ in years 6-8. Too much risk likely with the $ 15-20 mil per year starting now.
  18. Glad we kept the starter healthy for a change…or so we think. Also, why Nationals are not challenging a couple of balls in 9th are pretty bad strategy…gotta use on anything close in 9th, especially when having 2 left and base runners needed.
  19. Crow’s curve was impressive….fastball had some movement with different arm delivery. I wonder where he slots in now with Gasser and Henderson.
  20. I am not counting on his bat being as good as 2024 or as bad as 2025. My guess is that his at bats are considerably less than last season. I do like his glove on the team, especially as a late inning replacement, Unless he is worse than 2025, I count on his abilities for 2026 and 2027.
