How did Carlson lose value? He had a .380+ OBP at 19 in A ball with great SS D. No one with sense is panicking because the power isn’t there yet.

Game 2 star: Sal Frelick hit only four home runs during the regular season, and his last blast against a left-hander occurred on Opening Day. So when the Rays brought in lefty Ian Seymour to start the sixth inning, all the Brewers were hoping for was that Frelick would get on base. Instead, he hammered a 92 mph fastball over the center-field wall, tying the score at 4-4 and setting the stage for Cooper Pratt's go-ahead single an inning later. The stat that defined the game: 81 foul balls. Both teams are pesky, and they were stretching at-bats deep by constantly spoiling pitches. The 81 fouls are the most in a postseason game this year. -- Jeff Passan espn.com ***Past 13 teams to start WS up 2-0 have gone on to win it all***

"Relentlessness is the reciprocal of quitting, yielding, giving up. It is an aggressive, persistent, attack-mode attitude. It defines a warrior. The relentless performer gives himself intensely, entirely and constantly to competition." — the late Harvey Dorfman, legendary mental skills coach, friend and mentor of Brewers manager Pat Murphy If you clock them in the mouth, these Milwaukee Brewers will crack their neck, swallow a few teeth and, entirely unbothered, swing right back. They are bulletproof zombies, cockroaches in baseball pants. They are also now 9-1 in October. Remarkably, the Brewers have trailed in eight of those wins, twice by four runs. For Murphy's club, early postseason deficits are just minor inconveniences. The Rays are learning this now as the Padres and Dodgers nod in solidarity from their couches. Each consequential Milwaukee comeback only strengthens the Brewers' united confidence, like fire forging steel. The sun will rise, the sun will set, and the 2026 Brewers will retake the lead and hold onto it. Such is the act of relentlessness. yahoo.com/sports

The Brewers are two wins away from a World Series title. They have needed that home run ball? lol

Home Run or Nothing article...
That is to say, it’s a crapshoot once you get to the postseason, but you’re going for frequency of production, not aggregate volume. A longball-only offense will give you aggregate volume that helps and evens out over a 162-game season, but you are likelier to enter a “famine” cycle in a short series compared to a diversified offense.

I have always felt that a one-dimensional HR / K offense is probably your best bet to get you to the postseason, but a multifaceted offense will tip the odds in your favor once you get there.

8 of those players have lost value from Opening Day...all but Antonacci you can argue about Sandlin but generally selling low on assets and buying high or close to peak doesn't work out very well and Antonacci has more value at 2B trading Meidroth at an all-time high and moving Antonacci is more logical but everyone will scream Chase is too important to move now and was in many ways the co MVP with Vargas

No way. We have the ammo to get an arm without giving up a major chip. Carlson, Schultz, Antonocci, McDougal, Sandlin, Martin, Wolkow, Bergolla, Quero Not saying we are going up get a top 10 arm with a package of 4/5 of them…but a very good SP

Texas Tech shamelessly supported Sorsby's attempts to sue his way into uniform—an attempt that ended when the Big 12 filed a checkmate lawsuit of its own. Sorsby dropped the fight, and that was that. But cocky Cody vowed vengeance on the documentary. “Looking back on it, I know that Texas Tech and I handled everything with integrity, and we did things the right way,” said Campbell, who also chairs the school’s Board of Regents. “I think this is something that could have been handled much more privately. We’re not going to forget about that, and I don’t think they’ll forget about it either when we’re up by 40 and still throwing the ball in the fourth quarter. That’s where the retribution will come."

Checks notes nobody can touch this MIL pen when Megill's unavailable they still have Uribe and Ashby for high leverage the problem is they're still 4-5 (2 starters/3 relievers) pitchers away and already spent $22-23 million on Castillo for 2027

It's personal preference. Mune Colson Vargas vs. Caminero Diaz Aranda what is the faith level right now for those first two Sox hitters? and the competition level now is a totally different animal

Yeah Yandy didn't go. But not being prepared to hit a 3-1 curveball right down the middle is really...something.

I don't think I've seen a team worse at recovering onside kicks than Texas. Well...maybe the Packers.

Trading Colson isn't going to get you a ToR arm... So Bonemer +++ depending on MLB proven profile as a frontline starter...
