2025 MLB Season

As I was saying, the Brewers have no need for a power bat

Consider the opposition

Why should I consider them, the Brewers aren't

Andrew Vaughn might usurp Anders Carlson as Wisconsin's favorite son

The bylaws clearly state the Pirates need to be relegated after whatever that was

The FS1 analyst on today's Cubs-Orioles game, former Cubbie Eric Karros, repeatedly ripped Cubs reliever Caleb Thielbar for two sh1tty 2-strike pitches he threw in the decisive 8th inning.

Karros wasn't wrong, but I was still surprised by the relentlessness of his criticism.

I'm certain I'll get crushed for this take, but Civale/Vaughn trade working out for both teams.

Small sample size, but Civale's last three starts:

0 Earned runs
7 hits

3 Walks

I actually sat down and enjoyed the pitching and defensive effort of a closely closed out win. Then I thought about the implications of my enjoyment per MuScoop and immediately snorted a line of wasabi to atone for my sins.

This was the last thread I read on scoop before switching over to Reddit. This was literally the top post on my feed:

Thoughts and prayers to the Scoopers who said they were hammering the under on the White Sox win total this year.

I would rather be a Sox fan than a Twins fan right now.  The aftermath of fire sales suck.  (Except last season.  Heh)  The Sox have started to show signs of growth and competence.   Not every game, but signs, nonetheless.

This is why the criticism of the Brewers by some of their fans is misguided. It has been a long time since they've done this.

[tower912]

The Brewers have taken their circumstances, embraced them, and found a way to succeed.   What fascinates me is how fans can rail and wailing about player salaries and not celebrate and embrace an organization going against that grain and being successful.

 The parallels with the MU basketball program are striking. 
 NIL and the portal are out of control!

MU sucks for not using the portal and getting in bidding wars for transfers!

Fascinating stuff.

There's a large segment of Brewers fans working for the next team slump to say "I told you so"

Maybe my take is colored by the Sox history, ownership and the resume of the GM, but I'm not terribly excited about the future. As they have elevated players from the minors, the Sox farm system has sunk to the bottom third. IMO the success arc looks to be a .500 team in a few years.

The real reason to be excited about the Sox is Ishbia in 2-3 years.

Miz to the IL and Churio's injury is "worse than they thought". Cool.

Miz is for a leg bruise. Hopefully just saving the arm.

Interested in knowing your source on this. MLB Pipeline and Baseball America haven't updated their system rankings since the spring. The only site I can find that has a new system ranking is Bleacher Report, which has the White Sox ninth ... which is top third, not bottom third.

However, Pipeline has updated its top 100 prospects, on which the White Sox have five players, even after the graduation of Teel and Quero.  Only a few teams (Reds, Mariners, Dodgers of course) have more.

Truthfully, I got the ranking from a White Sox fan site post pointing to the need to reload the pipeline. I believe the poster was referring to the 21st ranking here: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/farm-system-rankings
I can't swear to the accuracy, but it passes the logic test when you elevate your best prospects and the trade returns have not been high level prospects.

Fair enough. Ignore my lies. The facts are the White Sox have an great history, Reinsdorf is an excellent owner and Getz's resume is impeccable.
