    I think I had moved on from the Brewers before the series was even over. Didn’t even watch the Ohtani game after seeing they were down 3-0 in the 1st. Honestly though, the Mariners got over a big hurdle this year by finally overcoming the Astros and their run of always missing the playoffs by one game. The Tigers series was a total toss up that ended with an all-time classic. You just never know when you’ll be back though.

    I’m just devastated. It felt like the stars had aligned this year and at least one of the Brewers or Mariners would finally win a pennant.

    I only check this thread now to see if they fired him yet. Maybe tomorrow.

    That was a pretty special moment. I was not at the game but my buddy texted me a video and it looked like pandemonium. Bit bittersweet for me with what’s happening to the Brewers but the same fate likely awaits the AL winner.

    What's the max pitch count for Miz today???
  6. owbc
    It's easy to complain about Ortiz' bat and then he makes a play like that look routine.
  7. owbc
    If it wasn't for Miz this team would probably be in the offseason already.
  8. owbc
    Impressive play

    Turns out we just needed to close our eyes when swinging while staring at the sun.
  10. owbc
    Yeah shove it Dodgers, we can hit triples too.
  11. owbc
    Now copy the Blue Jays and hang a crooked number

    You would have to be crazy to go to Wisconsin at this time if you are good enough to have other options. At least go somewhere where the coach will bother to learn your name.

    There are a LOT of complaints about start times out here. Tonight’s 5:30 pm start time is the latest that the Mariners have gotten so far in the playoffs. Tomorrow will either be the pivotal game to break a 2-2 tie or a potential pennant clincher and it starts at 3 pm. I get that the eastern time zone opponent doesn’t want to start at 9 pm but it sucks from the perspective of not getting a super rowdy night game home crowd.

    Nobody is losing money. The Marlins fielded a team of entirely players making league minimum salary and have virtually no fans or interest in what should be one of the biggest baseball markets in the US. The A's and Rays are playing in minor league stadiums. The Pirates haven't cared about winning for decades. All of these teams are doing fine financially. The revenue sharing that we have now only perpetuates this problem, since all you have to do to make a profit is keep your payroll down and MLB will write you a check for $50 million every year. The Brewers are beneficiaries of this system, along with every other team that has ownership and management that is competent and cares about winning. We do not need changes that reward poverty. We need changes that reward smart decision making and winning. We need to ban the financial manipulation that the Dodgers engage in.

    I’m opposed to a cap. I would rather have more revenue sharing. This deferred contract nonsense also needs to be stopped and all TV dollars including local TV revenue should go into the same pot that is distributed equally. All international players should have to enter through the draft, not go to their team of choice. The Brewers will not benefit from a system that forces other small market teams to spend more money. They are thriving in the current system. It will not help us if the Pirates are forced to compete. Let them continue to languish in last place, it isn’t our problem. Their failed strategy of being overly aggressive against LA’s starting pitchers is more to blame for the current situation than any salary-related discrepancies.

    Brewers in 7. Let me say it again Brewers in 7.

    Yeah I don’t really understand the Brewers game plan or approach at the plate. I hate comparing them to Seattle but I watched Seattle win twice against Detroit when Skubal started by chasing Skubal after 6. They had a much more defensive approach at the plate that was designed to run up the pitch count. They fouled off a lot of good pitches. Ones like those that the Brewers were putting in play with weak contact. I don’t buy that our talent level or roster construction isn’t good enough to beat LA. We put up an extremely poor showing at the plate and we have to do better. We have to get their starters up to 100 pitches by the 7th inning. Even so, this series isn’t that far from being 1-1. This isn’t over yet. A change of scenery might do them well. We have 100 wins this year, we will win more games this week.

    Series is far from over. They need to go to LA and win a couple.
  19. owbc
    They needed to get the Dodgers starters out of the game sooner. That’s really what it comes down to. I have no complaints about our pitching, the Dodgers haven’t done much offensively either.
  20. owbc
    Tough one to swallow. Would have been less painful to get shut out.
  21. owbc
    Terrifying moment
  22. owbc
    Only need one, Snell is hopefully done
  23. owbc
    The Blue Jays are playing like they already won their World Series after beating the Yankees
  24. owbc
    To me the Franklin firing raises the question of whether we think Wisconsin as a program should have similar standards to Penn State or lower standards. If the answer is similar standards, then what are we waiting for?
  25. owbc
    I may get banned from this forum if I answer the question wrong haha. Definitely Brewers though, you can't go against your childhood team + winning it for Ueck, and I've only been following the Mariners closely for the last 4-5 seasons. I didn't watch all those miserable Brewers teams in the 90s/early 2000s just to abandon them when they finally reach the top of the mountain.
