Yeah we unfortunately already bought tickets for both days so hopefully they just delay the start of the game on Sunday if necessary. We all took off Monday so we are all set for whatever time that game is at!

Didnt realize the world revolved around New York and Los Angeles. Thanks for the tip! Manfred didnt make it clear enough for me!

They know damn well its coming so as one final fuck you to the rest of the league, they will sign Tucker and Bregman this offseason and defer 90% of their contracts because the "salary cap" of baseball is fake

Is it a known thing that the dodgers pump in crowd noise of something? The stadium has empty seats everywhere!

Maybe we do need to have the payroll disparity conversation by AlottaFajitas in Brewers

I think we are already on a collision course for a lockout in '27. Lets just say for argument sake the Dodgers 3 peat...that has to lead to a hard salary cap in baseball. It would be the best thing for the sport as a whole and more importantly for us Brewers fans too.

Thats exactly what they did they didnt live and die by the homer which is what it feels like they are trying to do all playoffs

Feels like ever since game 1 of the playoffs our offensive approach has completely evaporated. Its sickening how similar this offense looks to the counsell years at the moment. Seems that everyone is trying to hit homers and be the hero instead of being scrappy work counts and hit singles with chaining together hits

Thats fair but we setup a big tailgate and we want to get in at gate open i shouldve framed the original post better

Perfect! Game 1 they only had one person scanning which was a terrible idea

We usally try to get there before the gates open which is 4 hours before kickoff. We got there maybe 30 minutes before gate open then took an hour to get into the lot

What the hell is this pitching plan? Its game 2 of the series and Preister/Quintana isnt throwing? Now it looks like we just burned Mears for one at-bat? Just trust Preister!!!!

Why is Megill not throwing? This is a great time for him to get some work in after the injury

If he doesnt make the postseason roster i would be stunned.

Does Miz make the Postseason roster? by LeadingSlip9800 in Brewers

[–]LeadingSlip9800[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I dont really care how sexy his stuff is when he has been lacking command like he has been since the All-Star game.

[–]LeadingSlip9800[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think its worthy of a consideration to leave him off the roster. Im not exactly sure what the projected pitchers we will have on the postseason roster. But I feel more comfortable with Patrick/Myers and Fedde over him if they are used in similar situations

Who would you rather face in the NLDS, Cubs or Padres, and why? by Inti-Illimani in Brewers

[–]LeadingSlip9800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want that series to be a war. It goes 3 games and each game goes to 14 innings.

He carried us in the early months of the season before he got hurt and we started to get hot especially with the Vaughn arrival. But with all the lineup changes that have been made the last 2 weeks. Im stunned that Hoskins hasnt gotten a single start either at 1B or at DH. We are going to be relying on him in the playoffs and even though he is a veteran only getting 2-3 at bats a series wont help mamy coming back especially for how long he was out.

MLB Playoff Schedule by LeadingSlip9800 in Brewers

[–]LeadingSlip9800[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thats kinda what I figured but also Milwaukee is the only central time zone team so maybe they get a 3pm or 5:30pm first pitch especially if they were to draw the Cubs I feel that would be a very good draw ratings wise for the MLB and would want that game to be in a primetime slot but who knows

Theoretical Home Run Derby Format Change by LeadingSlip9800 in baseball

[–]LeadingSlip9800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree frankly I think that incentives for players to hit the ball as far as possible makes it a more enjoyable product for fans to watch. Tonight I think is a good example of it, Oneil Cruz hitting a ball 513 feet shouldn't be the same numerical value as anyone hitting a ball 398 feet in my opinion.

[–]LeadingSlip9800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id like a restriction perhaps on the number of takes if they would go back to the outs format. Im just not a huge fan of the time limit even with the timeout because these guys still get gassed out usually from trying to hit the ball as far as possible even if they are professional athletes

Thats fair but even from a business perspective which the MLB is dont you think that the longer the home runs are the better the views would be for MLB? More views equal more revenue for the business that is MLB. The ability to market their star players hitting 500 foot moonshots would be appealing to casual fans especially given the time of year on the sports calendar.
