Brewers are the best team in baseball and it isn't close.

We got some work to do this off-season. If this no OF shift rule goes into effect I'd rather hang onto Kwan BUT not at the expense of Halpin, Martinez should get DH and platoon infield/outfield and say goodbye to Fry.

I have nothing to add other than saying Junior Caminero is a dipshit for taunting Steven Kwan of all people

Well, at least it isn't us getting routed 10-0 in the World Series tonight...

Since I can't control reality anyway I'm going to imagine that the cba creates some kind of enhanced revenue sharing and forcing owners to spend more (without a traditional cap-floor system) and we start spring training on time, all our first-Arb guys get paid, and Kwan, Adell, and Hedgie show up holding hands with multi-year extensions.

Wake me from my dream when negotiations make any progress šŸ‘

Do we think there will be any movement (extensions, free agency, cuts to 40 man, etc) prior to the lockout?

Granted thereā€™s not usually much of that for us anyway, but I wonder if some of the guys would want to take care of that up front or wait until after. I could see a lockout ending during the normal season, teams having 2 weeks to get ready in a quick spring training, and then full go.

If there's still a rule 5 draft then there are guys they'll probably wanna lock down, so I'd expect movement around that at least

The media and masses trying to make a controversy out of the obvious swing from the checked swing is something. It warms my heart after last Monday a checked swing went against them.

So glad to hear that. I was thinking the same thing and felt like I was being petty.

Iā€™m ok with a Brewers WS win.

Celebrating too soon is something we see more and more. I actually like how superstitious NHL players are. They donā€™t touch the conference championship trophy because they know itā€™s not the ultimate goal (unintentional pun noted).

As fans of a team that momentum has gotten screwed twice by rain itā€™s definitely not petty to be happy another team got a call that went against them.

That call last Monday changed the entire game for us as we went down 2-0 instead of being 0-0. Maybe Vogt would have done something different next inning.
