    There's no way Hoskins is going anywhere. He's got a guaranteed 1 year/18M contract from the Brewers if he wants it and he's not going to get that on the open market.

    I doubt you could get a 3rd. If you could I'm selling.

    It's just so weird and random. He's on pace for 51 catches and 718 yards. Which is exactly the kind of season I would expect out of a player like Doubs. It's not like he was ever going to be "the guy". We spread the ball out, and Reed is better and it's not close. Doubs gets about the same amount of targets as Wicks which sounds about right to me. Not to mention half his games were with Malik as QB which were obviously going to be run focused gameplans.

    They often say you can't compare stats across eras and kicking definitely applies to that. 82% is much more impressive from 1997-2005 than it would be today.

    I still remember when Middleton was 100%. It was back in his days at Texas A&M but still.

    Didn't realize that Will Smith has been hanging out in MLB bullpens just collecting World Series rings every year the last few years. Guess we know who we should havd acquired last offseason.

    When you're ready to be heartbroken again, but in a different way....

    Two things from that game stick out in my mind: - Junior Guerra was completely and obviously cooked and left in the game. - We had the opportunity to walk the bases loaded in the deciding extra inning to get to the pitcher and we did not do it. (Dodgers had no pinch-hitters left). Pain.

    I'm probably more mad at Rhys than anybody, just because he's the guy we went out and gave the big contract to (relative to what we usually give out), he didn't produce all year, so the one hope was that maybe, as the veteran player, just maybe he'd show up in the playoffs, against his former division rival ...only for him to fall flat on his face again. Too bad because he seems to be well-liked in the clubhouse. But yeah, he totally sucked, again.
  11. adambr2
    I mean yeah, I'm sure we'll be "back" but I don't even know what that really means anymore. Back to what? Back to having this same conversation after yet another disappointing WC round exit? That seems like the most likely outcome. The club definitely exceeded expectations this year, but progression is not always linear. Adames will be tough to replace, Devin may not be back and there will be turnover elsewhere. Some good, some bad. It will be nice to have Yelich back. I have hopes for Woodruff but let's be honest, he's far more of a wild card than anyone we can really count on for big things in 2025. There's some nice pitching on the way ,,,not much for bats. The Cubs will likely be better. The Dodgers, as always, still have a very strong farm with more reinforcements on the way. Do I think we will be a playoff team? Yes, I do, but being a top 2 team and avoiding the randomness of the WC round is always going to be a really tall order for this team. Call it self-preservation or whatever, but I can't have high expectations for this team beyond a great regular season. At some point, we need to see it. It's a fun team, and they accomplished a lot this year, but like most Wisconsin sports teams, there's just too much of a tendency for postseason disappointment to get too emotionally involved.
  12. adambr2
    As tough as this is, one good thing to remember to help put things in perspective: none of us are Puff Daddy.
  13. adambr2
    Oh I was around for about 15 years worth of awful Brewer teams from the early 90s until the mid 2000s. Not fun, but not emotionally taxing at all. This is an entirely different thing. It isn't about the losing. It's about being taken to the edge of glory by numerous Wisconsin sports teams year after year only for them to spectacularly rip your heart out in the end.
  14. adambr2
    No you obviously split the 0 and 00 and go for the big payout.
  15. adambr2
    The worst part and silliest part about it is your entire 162 game season coming down to a random best 2 of 3 playoff series. The regular season used to be pretty sacred in baseball, winning your division was a ticket straight to the ALCS or NLCS. Then playoffs expanded and when it was 4 it was okay but now you can win your division and not even make the NLDS and it's freaking ridiculous. It really contributes to disinterest in the regular season and has caused me to become more of a box score follower than a regular game watcher because the whole 6 months is pretty meaningless. In the end I know the Brewers are probably going to make the playoffs, probably not going to be a top seed, probably going to have to win a very short series to advance, and spoiler alert, they probably won't.
  16. adambr2
    Have seen this play out too many times before for me personally to just chalk it up as us being a victim of random variation.
  17. adambr2
    When we were up 2-0 in the 9th and Devin came into the game, I let my guard down in that moment and let myself believe that it was going to happen. I won't make that mistake again.
  18. adambr2
    If only winning a series were a coinflip to the Brewers.
  19. adambr2
    Not for nothing, but this is now 5 out of our last 6 playoff games in which we have held a multi-run lead and blown it.
  20. adambr2
    As tempting, and valid as it may be to blame payroll disparity, the Tigers and Royals are both right there with us. And they both did the job.
  21. adambr2
    My only issue with Murphy tonight is that Garrett Mitchell never had the bat in his hand once tonight. Very disappointed in that.
  22. adambr2
    The ultra-deflating thing about this season is that our performance was kind of our ceiling. We won our division. were the 3rd best team in the NL. It's going to always be hard to ever ask for more than that from ANY Brewer team. And we still, could not even reach the NLDS.
  23. adambr2
    If it weren't for the Bucks winning it all in 2021 I'd have to give some serious consideration to just walking away from Wisconsin professional sports in the interest of my own mental health. Seriously, these last 15 years have been brutal. Every team is always seemingly on the cusp of something big and no matter what they find some way to let it all come spectacularly burning to the ground.
  24. adambr2
    They went into the 9th inning having allowed 0 runs and they had arguably the best closer in baseball from the last few years on the mound. I don't think they could ask the pitching to set them up to win any better than they did tonight.
  25. adambr2
    I mean typos happen but it seems silly to blame me for not interpreting it the other way through context when you were literally putting some blame on Murphy for the loss, but I digress. I just honestly think Murphy managed this one about as well as he could have. You cannot just pull the trigger every time a guy gives up a walk and a basehit. Especially not someone with the track record of Devin. He choked and it happened.
