cmh6476 1,041 Posted August 6 Was hoping to come out of Boston with at least one win in the series. I guess it better be today if that's to happen. Should be able to pull out a winning record in the next three series with the Twins, Nationals and White Sox coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,965 Posted August 8 Juan Soto sucking it up. Bigly. Not a fan of giant, long term contracts in MLB. rumors are Tarik Skubal wants 40 million for 10 years. If that's the case, I have no problem if the Tigers let him go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Royals placed RHP Hunter Harvey on the 15-day injured list with a right adductor strain. It’s the second trip to the injured list this season for the 30-year-old right-hander who just returned on July 25 after missing over three months with a right major teres sprain. No word yet on how long he’ll be shelved for this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,320 Posted Thursday at 02:43 PM After earlier in the season missing a 12 game winning streak by one game that wins the city a free burger at George Webb, the Brew Crew hit the mark last night with a 12-5 win. Though to be honest as a Wisconsin resident, free burgers is the last thing a lot the people in Milwaukee need. Amazingly, according to the "experts", the Brewers don't have a single player that cracks the top 50 in MLB. This bunch of no-names has become one of my favorite teams ever. Quote MLB Rank 2025 in-season update: Ranking baseball's top 50 players A week into the 2025 MLB season, we created our annual MLB Rank list of the top 100 players in baseball to answer the question: Who will be the best player in 2025? More than four months later, we asked 17 ESPN MLB experts to give their ranking of the top 50 players in the sport this season. We averaged those lists to create our first MLB Rank in-season update -- giving us a chance not only to take a look at who has excelled this season, but also see what we got right (and wrong) on our initial top-100 player ranking. (No top 50 players: CHW, LAA, TB, ATL, COL, MIL, STL) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,965 Posted Thursday at 04:25 PM Dodgers fall out of first Yankees are 6 games behind in the AL East Tigers are seeing their huge lead slowly eroding Mets 5 games back in the NL east. Cubs now 7.5 games back of the Brewers. Baseball is a long long season.

I don't know, my KU roommate was from Dallas and was a Rangers and cowboys fan, but developed an affinity for the Chiefs and Royals just being around so many fans at the school he was attending.

Yeah, but if he likes going to games, the Brewers are his only option. And as a college student, if he's like me(poor), he's probably going to be limited to in his television viewing, so the Brewers might be the only game in town. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and welcome him aboard the bandwagon with a brat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 1,041 Posted Saturday at 11:49 PM Looks like pasquantino was just pulled. Jac has been doing well with the rehab assignment but there hasn't been a need to rush him back with the deadline of acquisitions. This could be a time to grab Jac in a buy low (waiver pickup) scenario if he's available, because a call up might be all he needs to finally start producing like we thought he could.

MikeMatt 164 Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM Mets prospect won his MLB debut today. Nolan McLean went 5 and a 1/3 no runs and 8Ks. Stuck out first batter he faced and made a nice defensive play with bases loaded hit back to pitcher and caught it behind his back and continued to assist turning double play to end the inning.
