Either I will be shocked by 90% of the deals signed by those top 20 guys or the list has incredibly inflated prices.

curious the main reason for the large difference in Jordan Love's numbers? Is adjustments mostly opponents?

I'd put him on the Adames plan personally BUT assuming they get an offer they can't refuse, his salary means he passes the Tampa Test.

I.e. everyone in baseball can take his money on. That's an incredibly good spot to be in.

I liked him too coming out. But yeah did basically nothing. Don't blame them for moving on

CBAs in other pro sports almost always have a percentage of revenue that MUST go to the players. Sets the cap - including both the salary and the floor.

The Bucks are required to hit their number by the CBA; Packers are not.

NHL/NBA/NFL players all get about 50% of revenue. I doubt MLB players are

The last time the Brewers won 3 straight at Dodger Stadium?

July 18 to 20 of 2025

I do think there's an argument that spending the buy-out money on players would be a better use of the money than spending $25 million (and then probably another $25 mil for new coach/staff/whatever else) to get rid of him

I don't have a huge problem with Abner pitching yesterday.

But I'd have started the 9th with someone else (maybe Anderson). Warm Abner and he comes in if necessary to face Ohtani + rest of the top of the order.

Especially since as great as Freddie is, its very unlikely Freddie finishes 6 today

Am I the only one who remembers Turang dodging a pitch in the dirt that originally was ruled a HBP before Arizona challenged it in the 2023 WC round.

Also arguably cost them that game.

Or at least wait until after Game 5

I think that would've been the move with Gasser (which honestly I probably preferred in a vaccum).

I think they ultimately didn't trust Gasser to throw enough strikes against a patient Cub lineup (which is probably the correct move in a playoff series).

depending on Cubs lineup, Ashby sees anywhere from 4-6 hitters.

Priester (assuming reasonable effectiveness) goes the next 12-15 avoiding Tucker seeing him the second time (unless he is just mowing down everyone)

I'm with you on Gasser but I get Murphy et al not trusting him enough - especially with all walks

Id probably have thrown Mears. I feel like Koenig is going to face those lefty hitters a lot in this series and I don't want Tucker etc getting extra looks in a 99.8 PCT game

Just no reason to go to Koenig here. You have to win 3 games, not 1.

I'd have left Freddy in the game a bit longer. You're up 9 to 2.

I'm not only because Murphy clearly has no use for him
Even if that in itself isn't particularly rational

Just show up extra early. They'll interview you, ask a few questions and you'll be on your way.

It won't be that bad just give yourself an extra 30 minutes

Gotcha

My gut says Brewers will only allow hitters and catchers to use the challenges. Batters probably only for bigger leverage calls.

shades of 2021

its not 2 incorrect challenges?

save the RISP hits for October as far as I'm concerned

I think you are correct in 90 percent of instances but not with this Dodgers team.

With the payroll, they will absolutely get clowned when eliminated.

Carlos Beltran for me

Sielger is due

Night game yesterday had to have been even wotse

I know it stinks losing three in a row to the Cubs, but come on people. The last 2 they outplayed Chicago and lost. It happens.

That's baseball. Go get 'em tomorrow.

at least pull a Mitch Stetter and strike out the next 3 hitters

you willing to mess with Freddy that close to game-time though?

The rain being a major issue wasn't as obvious earlier in the today.

Late morning it seemed more likely there would be a Game 2 delay, not really a chance to be PPD.
