Breaking their own record that they set earlier in the series for most strikeouts has to get someone's attention.

Brewers are mine . live up here for 30 years and used to enjoy listening to Bob Uecker . todays Brewers-Dodgers game was a lot of fun.

2 down 2 to go for the Brewers first NL pennant. Of course, going up 2-0 at home in a best of 7 hardly makes this close to a done deal. Now the next 3 in LA.

There wil probably be some minor coaching changes. For example, I could see a team poaching Walker to be a manager. I do think teams will poach from the white Sox now in the same ways they do the Rays and brewers. Probably will focus on the rebuild being over and that they need to get pitching. I do like how transparent Getz is compared with Hahn.

It is going to be a weird offseason for our pitching depth, and I expect quite a few trades to take place. Before considering potential free agents, Fangraphs has our projected starting rotation to be: Sean Burke - R Davis Martin - R Anthony Kay - L Luis Castillo - R Hagen Smith - L I am not sure about Hagen Smith. I can see us having him in the bullpen for a bit longer. Crochet pitched 66 innings in the bullpen before he was let loose. Hagen Smith is at 28ip, and I am not 100% convinced he has mastered his command. I can see him sticking it out in the bullpen for a while. I also expect Grant Taylor to get a shot at the starting rotation at some point next year. He has stated he wants to be a starter, and I don't see why the team wouldn't oblige him. It is better value for everyone. This is where the money is, he has shown his stamina is where it needs to be, and his arm is healthy. 84 innings this year is pretty substantial. Then you have those who are knocking on the door for a back end of the rotation spot. I trust some over the others and ranked them as I see them: David Sandlin - R Noah Schultz - L - Likely going the bullpen route? Drew Thorpe - R Shane Smith - R Outside shot at SP depth: Shane Murphy - L - Bullpen? Tanner McDougal - R - Bullpen? Ky Bush - L - Emergency doom case Jonathon Cannon - R - Emergency doom case Adding 1-2 SP will definitely force Getz to make some moves this offseason. He has to sign at least 1 SP right? Even if he doesn't sign anyone, you have to imagine a couple of the more fringe guys get dealt (Thorpe, Smith, Kay), or maybe Schultz is included in a bigger trade. I think people expecting a whale of a SP signing are going to be very disappointed. Castillo is going to get a long leash you would have to imagine.

The Rays are my second favorite team, when not watching the Sox I’m watching the Rays.

Rays don't waste outs everything they do has a purpose

Good start for the Rays.

Guardians are fortunate to still be in the game but Rasmussen dominant last time out against NYY

That offensive philosophy never works

get em on get em over get em in Rays Ball + Caminero

Honorable mention to the Tres Garcias outfield.

I just loved the story of Abreu's Amigos when he was here so I will go with Pito. Plus he basically earned his MVP in one series against the Cubbies so that's never a bad thing.

Lastings Milledge

Oh that's a good one

still have to listen to Ron Darling lol? nice to see someone throw out Ramirez finally on the basepaths

BM is a minor leaguer rushed too soon. He can spend a few years with the C Ballers and not be missed.

HaHn btw

Ryan Cordell

It's half empty now.

Positionally he is kind of a floater, but i do not get rid of him at any cost. I find him a spot and I let him lead off every game. Too much of a spark plug, and with all of the low average, strikeout hitters we have, I want someone who finds his way on base at all cost.

Braden is going nowhere. He'll get every chance to succeed as he should. Hes young and just scratching the surface.

I just can't watch any baseball right now.

Charlotte throws off all the numbers. See Gonzalez, Jacob. Not about a specific average with Bonemer, but the quality of at bats/contact. Even 24-27 homers likely to be much more impactful than Braden's 2025. Defense still a work in progress.

Let's not get too high on Bonemer just yet. A .260 hitter in AA doesn't project to the majors very well. Colson lesson learned. We don't need another .200-ish unproductive bat. If he can get to upper .200's in Charlotte and maintain his slug then he'll be ready for the show.
