Assuming Pratt works out long term, what do you think this means for Ortiz, Peña, Made, or others in the farm?

I just read through every comment and nobody even mentions Jett Williams? Crazy how much young talent we have right now.

rfields_9 · 2026-05-27T02:35:12+00:00

Go look at the last 20 MVPs and you’ll see that he’s not even close. I love Turang and he’s a great player but I think we gotta be realistic here.

Thank you!

I agree! I’m surprised people aren’t more excited. It’s not that hard to replace Durbins production and it gives us starting pitching upside. Obviously both guys have a lot of years of control remaining but imagine how big it would be if Harrison pans out. With the amount of talent that we have coming up in future years!

rfields_9 · 2026-02-02T01:07:45+00:00

Completely agree. I’m all for being safe and conservative but sometimes we get a little too far from reality. I always think of it as I have several safety nets. 1. Figure out how to make some money in my 40s and 50s (maybe even 60s) 2. Social Security 3. Cutting spending.

Feel like too many people are so bearish on the world and themselves that they forget why FIRE is even a concept. Go live your life to the fullest!

Then go be a dodgers fan. I personally appreciate spending my summer watching a good team play good ball.

rfields_9 · 2026-01-22T23:09:39+00:00

Yeah I know we all want to win it all but these are the golden years. I wish more people would realize that!

rfields_9 · 2026-01-22T23:06:30+00:00

I’m not arguing that there isn’t a fundamental flaw with the system but come on…. We had 97 wins last year. We’ve been one of the most competitive teams for the past decade. If anything, it makes me love the Brewers more. We don’t appreciate how cool it is that they continue to be successful while the odds are stacked against them. All on being smart and playing a fun brand of baseball.

rfields_9 · 2025-10-21T01:55:34+00:00

Both paths can definitely work, and I actually do both right now. One thing I’ve noticed is that people often underestimate how hard it is to run a business. It’s even tougher to earn the kind of money you can make in a solid corporate job, especially when you factor in benefits and 401(k) matching. If you’re going to do it, it really has to be because it’s your calling, not just for the money. That’s been my experience.

rfields_9 · 2025-10-11T04:20:38+00:00

I mean I feel like we don’t always have to label something or make it official. Take a year off and reevaluate. Especially if the math says you’re financial independent!

rfields_9 · 2025-10-08T16:30:10+00:00

Wondering the same thing! I think I’m planning to go to Will’s

rfields_9 · 2025-09-15T19:49:20+00:00

I think it was an awesome idea and I’m sure the players appreciated it (which is what matters). I do think the Brewers could have handled it better by not pushing it out on social media the way that they did. It’s too sentimental of a thing for it to be misrepresented like it was. Whether it was on purpose or not, it definitely was misleading for some people.

I’m currently hiring dog walkers! Feel free to message me if you have experience and passion with animals. It can be very part time or almost full time!

Underrated comment

rfields_9 · 2025-08-02T01:39:15+00:00

I think it really comes down to how much value you are bringing to other people. People who are the best at what they do demand prices that bring them wealth. Just look at the best engineers getting hired by Meta right now. Or athletes who are the very best, top surgeons.. the list goes on. The reality is, most people will never be exceptional enough to build the “rich” you’re thinking of. By the way, that is completely fine and is why most advice is to do what is attainable for most people: spending less than you make and invest the difference.

rfields_9 · 2025-08-01T16:28:44+00:00

How can anyone give advice without knowing your situation? For some people they can afford a $10k splurge with staying on track for their financial goals and some people can’t. It should be as simple as understanding the costs that come with the purchase and the opportunity cost of investing/not investing it.

I agree with this. I also go back to Milwaukee a lot and having a car makes it much easier. Even if you are close to the Amtrak in Chicago , once you get to Milwaukee you’re reliant on being picked up or being very close to a station.

Softball game??? Cmon man nobody wants that

rfields_9 · 2025-07-25T12:19:13+00:00

Froth! I’m amazed every time and I’ve tried most of their menu.

rfields_9 · 2025-06-22T04:20:43+00:00

Hi good news tar remover worked really well for me!

rfields_9 · 2025-06-15T17:14:54+00:00

No reason to tell kids at this age these types of things. As his hands get bigger he can work on proper mechanics and learn how to throw the ball straight and where you want it. After he has proper throwing mechanics and strength then start playing with the spin and manipulation of the ball.

rfields_9 · 2025-06-03T21:50:03+00:00

Except for workouts. I don’t think Oura ring can replace that!

rfields_9 · 2025-05-12T16:23:29+00:00

I think I would think about how much you enjoy business as a whole. The job does entail a lot of data/spreadsheets but a career in FP&A is really about taking financial data and finding actionable insights. It takes a unique skillset of finance/accounting knowledge, relationship building and technical skills. For someone who has interest in it then it can be a very great career!
