He's a Nestor double agent

there's still time!

I want vibes only for this.

Interestingly I think a lot of mine would be a lot different. But perhaps that's just I basically had no confidence they would win yesterday

this is just chronological within tiers right - you don't think High Point was the worst loss of them all?

The only way the NBA gets rivalries (even if they end up fleeting most of the time) is with the current East/West playoff setup. Think Bucks/Pacers.

That basically goes away with 1 to 16

Didn't really hit me until yesterday that the Packers impending FA (except Willis/Doubs) are some of the only ones that fit the Gutey mold

i.e. guys coming off their rookie contracts at a position of need

A Yankee fan who lives in LA :/

100 AB of Vinny Carpa didn't sabotage the 2025 Brewers.

But that doesn't mean 100 AB of David Hamilton won't do the same to the 2026 Brewers. Cubs are better than they were last year.

Its definitely a gamble to have dealt Collins and Durbin, and one I'm largely fine with. Especially since we basically have to assume the pitching additions all fit their system/algorithm/some of both.

But this is an instance where throwing a few million at say Ramon Urias would help a great deal.

maybe they throw something at Ramon Urias now?

Hamilton/Williams doesn't seem like a particularly great plan to enter the season with.

My son very dissatisfied with the Durbin trade

Brewers should've signed Suarez if this was the plan.

would guess PHX is including cash or that Richards may actually get minutes for them if Bobby injury is serious/he's traded.

Also probably a favor to Anthony. They don't need 6 guards

Cole Anthony joining the Lindsay Hunter/DJ Augustin level of worst Bucks ever

Imagine Boyd with Bo?

especially if/when Quay leaves, defensive back is deeper than stack linebacker!

Best way to counter a Chicago Pope is with a Milwaukee Bishop

Took my 4-year-old to 5 playoff games this year.

I did not attend my 5th Brewers playoff game until 2023. I was born in 1990.

Worth mentioning that the Brewers DID extend Freddy Peralta once - they got 2 extra years of control when they did.

Different than Burnes in that case - I'd argue the return was stronger largely because his $8 million salary is about half what Burnes was (cough surplus value).

The Brewers had 5 pitchers over the last run that were legitimately elite at one point in time - often for several seasons. 3 of which were SP.

Burnes
Woodruff
Peralta
Hader
D. Williams

For all of that talent, they won two playoff series. And one was against the Rockies.

Yay Brewers get to hang another No. 1 farm system banner.

Can't wait for the parade.

And this is a "good" trade. But that's part of what makes all this so annoying. You aren't beating anyone good in the playoffs with 23 2-WAR players and there's only 9 starting spots.

Brinson?

One or the other, maybe

Certainly not both

that mostly a Beavers thing?

I think they just know he's cooked so would rather save $5 million per year than zero and not have to play him everyday just because he's a hall of famer

I don't want to in anyway have to give him like 5 years but he'd instantly be their 2nd best player so anything 4 or fewer even if he can opt out would be swell.

Trade Woodruff, Sal, and/or Freddy for prospects/cheap guys if you need to make the money work

I'd be fine with a fake year-to-year deal as well. Need more elite talent on the team.

LaFleur to the Dolphins for a draft pick asap

Its a stupid route concept

Its not unlucky, it's bad scheme

No in breakers when you're trying to kill clock is malpractice

Same thing with Golden
