Brewers were overly aggressive at the plate which led us to not capitalize on the Dodgers horrible bullpen. Offense needs improvement.

Pitching was fine.

Why the Braves didn’t pay him is beyond me…

Cut him

If you are team like the Mets or Dodgers, $20M AAV is nothing. Just bring in another guy.

For example with Freddy Peralta. Brewers have to consider if he is worth $30M AAV AND not flipping him for 2 you g controllable starters.

It’s a tough sell either way.

The big issue with just spend more is one long term albatross hampers your ability to compete.

If the Brewers signed Castellanos for example, it log jams up a position a young guy can get developed and flipped, and it reduces your ability to spend in other areas.

Small markets can’t out buy.

Trail Blazers fans have achieved the mythical "our team started out 0-1 and now the head coach is going to jail" that college football fans have dreamed of for years

Corbin Burnes netted the Brewers 2 top 100 prospects coming off a 3.4 fWAR year. His peak was higher than Freddy, but Freddy is coming off of his best season.

Freddy is also making half of what Corbin made in his final year with the Brewers. Burnes signed for $15M in arb before getting traded.

Is it worse mentally to get swept or to lose Game 7?

The cost of extending someone like Freddy is two fold.

1) He is going to get PAID. We won’t be coughing up $30+M for 5 IP.

2) The prospect capital he brings back in a trade is HUGE.

Is $150M/5yr and losing two MLB ready players for 6 years worth Freddy?

Rotation seems full of young guns vying for the opportunity.

Miz,
Henderson,
Patrick,
Myers
Gasser,
Ashby,
Hall,
Crow?

Surely 4 of those guys can figure it out longish term.

Has a team ever swept a team in the regular season, then got swept by that same team in the post season?

18.10.2025 03:25 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Miz and Chourio shining in the post season really are the bright spots. The rest πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Check into a mental hospital is an option right?

Did you tell Jeff Passan? We need to break the news.

Miz gets more than both. Real question is to how much and what club options are at the end.

Ideally we get him until he is 31. Buying out two years of FA.

Miz pitching this well in the playoff does bring up extension thoughts again.

He is lightyears ahead of where Freddy was when he signed. 5 yr, $15M total. 2x $8M club options.

Ashby was at 5yr $20M. 2x options as well.

The Brewers have 6 years of control over Miz.

If Ashby could be taken out and put back in, Murphy might do it. Who cares about a DH when you have Aaron Ashby.

Turang and Frelick both gold glove candidates.

Turang isn’t winning this year. Hoerner has him blown out of the water this year. Can’t even play the game of OAA or DRS being better because it supports my guy.

Same deal with Frelick. Tatis has him beat on both.

Idk when this group of super patient hitters decided SWING SWING SWING. It clearly isn’t working. 8 pitched for Yamamoto in the 8th. Dodgers use basically none of the worst bullpen left in two games.

Not between innings. You can take out at the end of an inning no matter what.

3 batters or end of an inning.

Freddy starting tonight puts his next start at either game 5 on 3 days rest or game 6 on 5 days rest.

10 runs and Cal Raleigh has 0 RBIs. The Mariners are good at baseball.

Ashby at his best is our best reliever. He’s just been so over worked, I worry.

I was shitting bricks his last appearance.
