  1. Why not hook the hotel/restaurants/business to the stadium? Skywalk makes sense…keep it a year around focus…keep added places right next to the stadium. Park once.
  2. It’s an opportunity cost matter for fans….or at least some veteran fans on this site. No doubt 22 mil will limit us in other areas. We like to pay for healthy players too. Woody is beyond questionable now with health. We expect him to be hurt or recovering.
  3. Fancy math is still giving him a lot when he has been pitching less. He hasn’t finished the last 3 years and he started this season in July? And we’ve been in the playoffs the last 3 years! I cannot believe they are throwing this kind of money at him. This from the organization that pinches pennies (for good reason) to Hader, Burnes, and now Contreras in arby at a risk. There are FA to add, extensions to offer…acting like this is 2026 money and JUST 2026 money is beyond dumb. And I am not sure he could/will beat out guys for a spot in the rotation! Others in the young staff are getting experience and likely adding velocity while he is losing velocity. And he has been hurt! Come on…do we even expect just 120/130 innings out of him anymore? I cringe at the amount of $ we gave him the last now few years. Teddy Higuera’s extension is looking better all the time. And Soup too…”Soup pitched great!”
  4. I can’t believe so many are ok with Woody coming back for $22 mil. Injury prone, noticeable loss of velocity n fastball, playing for a team with middling to lower payroll, and playing for a team ONE or TWO players away from WS…..just crazy to bring him back when we should be looking at pinching pennies to trade a for big bat at SS/1B, extending Turang or Contreras, or sitting on it for later. Bringing him back at league minimum is almost questionable because I don’t have confidence he will beat out Henderson, Gasser, Ashby, Patrick for a spot! Last year’s contract was nuts because of the injury. This is worse….unless they know he won’t be back and this is all about a pick.
  5. And on that day…………. they played Game 5 at home against the Cubs. That happened. And we won.
  6. Let’s give oft injured guy a 1/6th of the payroll…he didn’t finish the last 3 years, but who cares about that apparently. And to top it off, I truly believe they let him throw an extra month or so in the minors since their rotation was throwing better than what he could add. And several times he mentioned that 2025 was just about him getting healthy. Sorry, we are looking to go deep in playoffs and the idea of shelling out major coin for a guy looking to get healthy first is not what I want in 2026 when he failed at that in 2025. Unless they are sure he has offers elsewhere and this is all about the pick…then kudos.
  7. From year ago….almost prophetic. And are my thoughts the same now…especially now after we beat Cubs in 5, Dodgers sweep Brewers, and Dodgers beat Blue Jays in tight Game 7? Still the same….I think.
  8. My guess is that they look to add a year and buy out the arby…14mil?
  9. Maybe for 1 year 2mil…so low since he would be taking up a spot for arguably a better pitcher; he could have pitched much earlier THIS season but team chose to throw him in the minors while starters were throwing well. Way too much risk…just as I said 2 years ago. Even crazier now to bring him back at half price….or half that.
  10. The chaos walking out of the stadium…random high fives and yells will be staying with me….similar to 2011 NLDS Game 5.
  11. Bob Costas had it right within his book years back….50% local revenue and local tv is kept while the other 50% is shared evenly. Dodgers would still keep more because they draw 50,000 with an huge tv market. And a universal draft! I agree that a cap ceiling/floor is going to be tough to get by the players. A larger revenue sharing plan and stricter luxury tax would probably be more reasonable for the next CBA. Maybe 20-30 years down the road they cross the road to salary cap.
  12. Deep as the ocean blue…. Freddy, Miz, Priester, Patrick, Henderson, Gasser, Myers, Ashby, Hardin, Letson
  13. Yep. Would have been awful to play like Dodgers series then.
  14. Will need to comment here a few times over the winter….such a great Game 5!! Don’t want to forget that.
  15. Cubs lost to this offensive nightmare…pretty sweet.
  16. And yet the game continues…save this crap til after the game.
  17. Don’t agree….he tried several different things in postseason (different lineups, openers, Frelick in CF, Bauers in LF, Uribe early).I don’t agree with everything, but he wasn’t stuck with whatever he did in regular season. Of course not.
  18. Had a great year. Get rid of him and eat his contract!? Good idea.
  19. Civale and Rea pitched like this against Brewers too…you could throw up AAA pitchers now it seems and expect results. It’s one of those type of stretches.
  20. Feels like Badgers have a better shot vs Ohio State right now.
  21. It only takes a spark to get a fire goin! I simply cannot believe it will end like this. Figure it out tomorrow. GUT it out. And surprise Snell on Saturday………we got a whole new series!!
