2025 MLB Season

I think manatees are dumbasses who can't help themselves from swimming into propellers. Charles Darwin had it right

No need to attack them or their character completely unprovoked.

I think Fluffy and Reeko's contributions, on a wide range of topics here, rivals the intellect of Newton and Hobbes.  They should be them for Halloween.  Seems like a no brainer ( no pun intended).

[Uncle Rico]

It's unfortunate all the hard hit balls seemed to be right at the Dodgers' minus Chourio's homer.

The Brewers Achilles heel is showing up against the Dodgers. The offense was always the fear and they haven't been able to get traffic on the basepaths outside of one inning.

The Dodger pitchers are hammering the zone and the Brewers aren't getting hits to drive up pitch counts.

That's it in a nutshell

I thought you didn't do personal attacks?  Huh.

Halloween is satanic nonsense. Please apologize

I'm dressing as Sir Isaac Newton and stealing candy like he stole from Muslim intellectuals and Hindus that came before him

"Wahhhhh my team has terrible plate discipline in the NLCS but it's the league's fault wahhhhhhh"

[Jockey]

The owners aren't united at all.  The large market owners could care less about the health of the sport. 

The owners are very united. As long as each has a money tree, they are extremely happy.

For some reason, people think all owners want to win. No, they are like Jerry Jones on a smaller scale. They love making money and every owner IS making money.

Murphy should've had a manatee pinch hit for turang. He would've taken one for the team, series would've been tied and the manatees would have their first positive contribution to society.

[tower912]

Hit better.  Same thing I said about Detroit.

[The Sultan]

Is this what you were told to talk like to feel better about yourself?  This is how low self esteem people talk.

You continue to not make an argument on the merits. I win.

The reality is Shohei, Betts, and Freeman would all be the best player that has ever played for the Brewers. They're all on the Dodgers at the same time.

Outside of maybe Teddy Higera and 3 months of CC Sabathia, Snell, Shohei, Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Kershaw (though to be fair, not current day...although it's still not far off) would all be the best starter in Brewers history. They all pitch for the Dodgers today.

Easy to say "hit better." The Dodgers have better players by a mile outside of the bullpen. Give the Brewers an extra $230MM to play with and maybe they hit the ball a little better. Contreras and Chourio are the only Brewers who would see a Playoff AB for the Dodgers.

[The Sultan]

Cubs fans are going to cry about the "L" flag until they die.  Sadly, many of them will possibly die in Bears weather

It's so funny.

[The Sultan]

And you're accusing someone else of a defeatist attitude?

There is a fundamental difference between understand when one team is better than another versus whining about the overall system when you lose.

Even Sir Isaac Newton would understand the difference.

[Uncle Rico]

It's so funny.

When your brain is damaged from inhaling urine fumes, you stay salty about such silly things but these are the same people that believe in things like "Bears weather" and "Jordan is better than LeBron"

Or like weeds growing on your outfield walls is iconic or something.

Pretty mean thing to say about Robin Yount.

[TallTitan34]

The Brewers went 6-0 versus the Dodgers in the regular season, had the best record in baseball, and were a single away from winning game 1.

Now all of a sudden it's not fair. 

If that pitch grazes Turang there's a decent chance this conversation isn't even happening.

Two things can be true.  I do agree, it's a weak argument, however.

The Brewers have maximized value for the past decade or so.  They simply can't make any mistakes in talent evaluation, though.  The Dodgers can and write it off.  Is there a solution to fix the imbalance?  That I'm not sure of either.

And yet Milwaukee had the best record in baseball.  Won 4 more games than the Dodgers.  Earned home field advantage.

I get it.  I listened to Scott Harris (Tigers GM) talk about 5 months as the 8th best offense in baseball vs the last 6 weeks of being the 8th worst offense in baseball.  Trying to figure out why.  Talking about plate discipline and approach and what changed late in the season.  Why chasing sliders means you don't see a fastball.  He phrased it along the lines of earning good pitches.

So, specific to the Brewers.  97 wins.  Best record in baseball.  Is it the Dodgers pitching or the Brewers not hitting?  The wonderfully solid fundamental team baseball that got Milwaukee to the NLCS is suddenly a millstone?    They are staying in the games with their pitching and defense.


 They have 5 hits in two
games.  Hit better.  Just like the Tigers.

Even Rudi Stein knew when to take one for the team.

Spend more than 40% of your revenue and then maybe use the victim card.

The Brewers have always had a razor thin margin both on and off the field. Everyone gets that.

48 hours ago, no one was really complaining about this though. Yet now we have Scoopers calling MLB a "farce" and claiming that the owners "don't give a crap about the product."

As soon as any adversity strikes, we have fans that fall into the "It'S uNfAiR!!11!!" mindset that plagued this franchise (as well as the city) for so long. Have some pride and stop complaining - this team had the best record in franchise history. And now you're bitching and moaning?  It's really a losers mentality.

To be fair, a lot of that gets spent on scouting and development side but get the overarching point.

Also, it's not like the owner isn't ultra rich but as an ultra rich person myself, why spend your own money when you can suppress wages and make more?
