Quote from: 18thandWells on July 20, 2025, 03:54:09 PMMariners and Brewers are both very hot. That'll be a great series.


Brewers keep playing well. The Mariners did pretty much everything wrong they could today, losing big, but still took the series from the Astros after having swept Detroit before the break.

Here's hoping Big Dumper has his HR bat going tomorrow!

Brewers about to have the best record in the MLB. Can't wait to see ESPN continue to have Freddy as a top trade candidate and move the Brewers back in their power rankings like they did the last time they swept the Dodger.

Welp, the Crew wiped the field with the Mariners from the 6th inning on.

But at least my SIL and I got to hang with PointWarrior and Mrs. PW before the game. Always fun getting together with fellow Warriors!

There have been 242,212 games in MLB history, and last night's Phillies win over the Red Sox was just the second ever to end on a walk-off catcher's interference. The first? Dodgers 5, Reds 4 on Aug. 1, 1971. (From Yahoo Sports)

I have no problem with them not being ranked 1 because I still don't buy them as the best team in baseball, but they had already had the best record and run differential in the MLB for a long period of time and had just swept the Dodgers and ESPN moved them from 8 to 9 a couple weeks ago. Just crazy stuff.

Agree. But I would put them at #3 - ahead of LA.

Wow ... can't believe you're predicting that the Mariners are gonna thump him!  8-)

Seriously, baseball is crazy. In their next-to-last series before the ASB, the Mariners had just gotten swept in New York, absolutely giving away the third game ... and then they immediately went into Detroit and beat Skubal to start a 5-game winning streak.

So do I think they'll beat Miz and the red-hot Crew? No, I do not. But would it stun me if they did? No, it would not.

The White Sox are the only team in MLB history to win their first 4 games after the all star break by 5+ runs or more. But nobody seems to be talking about this!!!!!!!!

Quote from: Dish on July 21, 2025, 09:54:48 PMI completely disagree with your disagreement.

The last team not to have a four game winning streak are the 2016 Phillies. The White Sox still suck, (this is not breaking news).

The point I originally disagreed with, (had to look it up... it's on page 11 of this thread... you had to wait thru five weeks of terrible, terrible White Sox baseball to respond), is when you said the team was "fun and enjoyable to watch." Just out of curiosity... who are you referring to?

Part of the gag was waiting to respond, as you had mulled over my opinion for a bit.

Sox are 14-16 in those five weeks. While not great, I'd argue not terrible for that time period you reference.

Compared to the 2024 squad, it's inarguable that this squad is fun to watch. They're not great overall, their overall record is indicative of that. However, since Taylor/Teel/Montgomery have come up, for me, they are fun to watch as they develop their future core.

So yeah, if they are going to be bad, show some promise, and can get a top two pick in a loaded 2026 draft class, I'll enjoy it more than last year's historically abysmal season.

I'm very much enjoying tuning in and catching some of the young guys getting their reps. It's actually guys who might make up the next core

That works out to 76-86 over a full season.  Pick your adjective.

You seem oddly intent on telling other people what they can and cannot enjoy.
Fans of rebuilding teams often enjoy watching their prospects develop, since it provides hope for the future. That's especially true when those prospects show promise, as with the players Dish mentioned.
If that's not something you enjoy, cool. You do you.

I get what he's saying though. I thought the 2017 Brewers were a really enjoyable team, even though they weren't amazing and weren't actually that fun to watch. It was the first time they stayed in playoff contention to the end since 2011. They continued a trend of improvement from the previous two years, and you started to see some guys (Aguilar, Shaw, Nelson, Santana) that could possibly be part of the next playoff team in Milwaukee. They finished 86-76 and missed the playoffs but it was an enjoyable ride.

I could definitely see myself enjoying a season where my favorite team was on pace to win 20 more games than the previous year when they were historically unenjoyable.

The 2017 Brewers finished one game out of the Wild Card spot. The 2025 White Sox are the worst team in the American League, (by a considerable margin). This is not a good  comparison.

If you want to write a couple paragraphs of your enjoyment of the 2002 Brewers (finished 56-106, worst team in the League), it would be much more apt to the conversation.
