  1. For me it’s more about the journey than the destination. I was on a cloud today but I’m ready to start thinking 2027 roster and how to run it back. I want them to clinch at home. The journey of how this team responds to challengers now that the target is on their backs is going to be entertaining. It’s just nice to have the monkey off our backs.
  2. A week or two ago I was arguing for letting Bill walk because of the financial numbers, but our financial situation is pretty good right now so I think we can get away with offering him the extension and still being able to extend whichever of our prospects are willing. I can't imagine a $100M FA signing that would offer us more benefit than what we get from Bill. I doubt any prospects are going to sign until the new CBA so in the short term we can only spend money on the major league roster and with everyone still on this high from the championship, maybe we can get some team friendly stuff inked. Contreras could make a huge amount of money in FA next year, especially if there is a salary minimum and 8-10 teams need to spend up to hit the minimum. So I think if we're going to get him extended we need to do it ASAP. Maybe Bauers accepts the QO, you never know. From his perspective there could be some strategy in hitting FA in the year that the minimum goes in, so you take your $23 million paycheck to run it back with the same group and bet on yourself to have another good year.
  3. All I know is that our viral "Milwaukee Brewers" song from this run is on about minute 14 of 15 and I'd prefer to never hear it again after Friday.
  4. Welcome back!!! One of my favorite parts of this run has been seeing some of the "legends" from that era hanging around the team. My favorite player from the aughts, Bill Hall, was just hanging around the concourse at the Trop wearing a #2 jersey and taking pics with fans. It brings me so much satisfaction to know that the old timers still feel a part of this community. Can Bill Hall pitch???? We'll never know.
  5. I'd try to sign Contreras tomorrow. Offer him a lifetime contract in the $120 million range.
  6. I wish he could have a late career resurgence and find another 10 WAR to make the HOF case interesting. Maybe if we win another championship. The injuries and COVID hit at the wrong time.
  7. Gives the talking heads something to banter about because the game and series itself were pretty anticlimactic as a whole. We kicked their butts. That quote is close to an all-timer for me but it sounds like Murph says stuff like that all the time e.g. telling Sal that he won a gold glove for reckless diving and crashing into walls.
  8. Pratt is hilarious. Everyone else is teary eyed in their interviews and he’s just smirking and says “only took 4 months” 😂 I’m of the opinion that trying to run it back with the same roster is a bad idea. Next year is a new year. We’ll have the same core but we have to look forward and not back. But if there’s one guy I would overpay for, and I know I’ve been opposed to it but I changed my mind, we need our MVP, spend all the windfall on him.
  9. Smoltz got owned by Curt Schilling of all people. Let that sink in.
  10. 10 years from now we’ll look back on this thread to see how we felt when we were 3 outs from a championship… …oh, they were arguing about our backup DH 🤣
  11. This was the obvious decision based on where the lefties are in their lineup But maybe they just ride Megill
  12. I can’t wait for this ballpark to be bulldozed, I don’t even care that we will have finally won a title here (the cramping is on the plant leg, he’s overworking that muscle landing on the crater)
  13. Nobody would have predicted that Yelich was going to have a great postseason. A few people even questioned whether he should be on the roster
