Heck, I still haven't seen my NLDS G5 refund, I guess I'm going to have to call them... edit: Emailed and got a response 2 min later: Thank you for reaching out. Those refunds began processing last Thursday but take about 15 days to complete. Once completed, allow an additional 5-7 business days for the charge to appear on your end. If you have any other questions, let us know.

I don't think Jake is getting booed if he leaves. I mean maybe a little from people that would do it regardless, but no one's going to begrudge him seeking a multiyear deal.

Declining Sanchez's option doesn't mean he won't be back, it just means they (correctly) don't want to pay him 8.5M to be a backup catcher. I don't think there was ever much chance of that.

LOL at Sal's "I'm having a beer for everyone here! I'm having a hundred thousand beers!!"

Probably a good idea to spin up a separate 2027 rotation thread.

It's not like there was any doubt that option was getting declined from one or both sides.

I don't see how any other result is possible (even with postseason not counting in voting).

He's saying the Yankees are a selfish team playing for their own contracts or money or... whatever! I don't think Murph cares, but it was clearly a shot at the Yankees and... so what! We're the Brewers, we don't care what the big market think anymore! By the time Jesus Makes another Jesus Made(so Jesus Made Jr)... the way I figure it, we're going to be closing in on their World Series total! If people actually read the ESPN article, it has the full quote with a key distinction that's being missed here: "You're going to be a rich f---er," Murphy told Bauers, who is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason. "Just remember when you were on that horses--- Yankees team and you guys were all playing for yourself? Just remember, say, 'This is the way we used to do it.'" It goes on to note that a number of other players have criticized that same team. This wasn't referencing Bauers going to the Yankees in the future.

Someone (don't remember if it was Attanasio or someone else) referenced the fact that "they need to do something for him," but it wouldn't be a jersey number because they've only done that for HOFers.

There's no way Contreras signs for 3 years.

I think this is an AI fake unless someone else can find the actual episode.

Welcome!

I thought Game 2 NLDS was going to be my peak sport experience. I was wrong. That was a ton of fun, including crashing the lower level in the bottom of the 9th and going crazy for the celebrationn.

Boy I'm wishing I hadn't bought my ticket for tonight yet. Prices have cratered. You can get in the lower bowl for under $500.

I think that's the first time this has been raised, and that's a valid question. My assumption is that if Woodruff didn't choose to pitch last night, it would've been Harrison. But why weren't Harrison or Drohan choices before Woody? Save Senza and maybe he goes a couple more batters today. In any case, one thing I'm sure of is the actual players feel far better about this than the fans. If they hold true to form, they will win one of these games.
