2026 MLB Thread

I'll be honest. If I was a star in Chicago at his age, I'd probably be a tool too.

It's the Wrigley piss fume effect.

Very similar to leaded gas causing violence in the 70s.

PCA will be a deserving MVP.

But man he's a clown of a human.

i always that that's what the C stood for.

The Whit Sox's season is officially a success. 70 wins was unthinkable 5 months ago. Maybe Cleveland will win the Central and the Sox miss the wildcard, but as a Sox fan I am calling 2026 a win regardless of what happens from here on out.

My apologies to Getz. His resume was not GM caliber, but he has done well. I was wrong.

Like lead paint and boomers.

Like dentists and air.

Working in constant urine fumes will make someone be a little off above the neck.

In the history of baseball, only two players have had a five-game run in which they've had 10+ hits, a home run in each game, multiple other extra-base hits, multiple walks and at least one stolen base.
Babe Ruth
Tristan Peters

Andrew Fischer with 42 homers now.  I'm very confident that he could roll over ground balls to the 2B in every at bat just as well as Yeli will do come Playoff time.  Might as well throw Fischer in at DH and he can run into 1 or 2 every series.

Can't ground into double plays if you're striking out, either

That too.

The Brewers are 85-51.  I'm no baseball expert, but that's not too bad.

It is possible I overreacted a bit after the Padres series.

Yelich is starting to produce now too.

The BetMGM Blog lists Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers as the favorite to win the 2026 National League Manager of the Year award at +325.

Would be very deserving.

The White Sox acquired the player best equipped at destroying the joy of a clubhouse and fanbase enjoying an otherwise resplendent season.

Pham still plays baseball? Who knew?

I'm going to hope the ground ball pitcher is pitching really well and that's why the Brewers can't score on a night the ball is flying...

One of the best owners in sports (sorry, St. Louis) replacing one of the worst.

All of whom have won titles in the last five or so years....obviously with the exception of the Angels.

Last night's game was more enjoyable in my opinion.

The Brewers responded pretty well after being shellacked and getting down 3 runs early yesterday.  Ortiz has been a very valuable player for Milwaukee.  If Yelich does anything in the playoffs they could be in business.  I get the concern about not getting the long ball, but they have enough to get the job done imo.

[CreightonWarrior]

Brewers haven't won the first game of a road series since the beginning of July. They're well adapted to those losses.

The Detroit Tigers have reached a $4 million deal ... with a 12-year-old.

That should be in the Doom thread.
