This is mostly Brewers content.
Guess the pitchers

Good signing for the Phillies. Garcia is basically the same player as Castellanos but isn’t bad defensively.

Just despicable stuff from cheap owners who can’t even be bothered to spend a few bucks to help their own underpaid young players be as good as they possibly can.
Aiming to level playing field, MLB to regulate use of data and tech in minors
“We won’t know what sort of innovation we’ll miss because of this," an analyst said. "But we’ll probably miss out on something.”

I don’t know if I can mentally take trading Freddy or Giannis after yesterday.

Micah Parsons is fun to watch even when he doesn’t make the play. Just such a force.
December 14, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Surprised that wasn’t called on Nixon. He didn’t do anything. Just assumed.

Giants need to be investigated as an org.
Lineup alert: Jameis Winston enters game in place of injured Jaxson Dart on Sunday.

INTERESTING.

Zerpa,
Hall,
Ashby,
Gasser

Lefty starters for all the rotation spots.
Matt Arnold says that there’s a possibility the Brewers try Angel Zerpa as a starting pitcher. It’s a conversation they have to have with him, but there are people within the organization who believe he could start.

I looked into Zerpa.

He is good. Brewers are going to make him better.

Amongst lefty relievers he has a top 4 sinker and a top 10 slider by stuff+.

The other Brewer in that group? Aaron Ashby. The Aaron Ashby that got used into oblivion last season.

Brewers love that profile.

Again, having to overpay as a small market to really land their guy.

Alonso gets $5M more than Schwarber as a slightly worse Schwarber.
BREAKING: The New York Post has learned Pete Alonso is going to the Baltimore Orioles. 5 years/$155m

I hate the amount of gambling we are spammed with in advertising. Draft Kings, Kalshi, Sleeper, AGHHHHH.

Life is interesting enough without gambling. The net return on these isn’t winning. For every big winner there are thousands of losers desperate to get by.

The Dem’s are not in control Mark. They simply want health care to be affordable. The party in control wants no subsidies. What else can the dems do?

If the house swings back, sure do more. Bring the system to work for the people.
I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.

I was very young during Kent’s playing days. Knew very little of him.

He won the MVP over Barry in 2000 while on the same team! Insane.

Parsons really gets choked every play
December 7, 2025 at 10:32 PM
If I see Rashan Gary just out run one more time…
December 7, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Idk how it was an incomplete

That replay looks good. I won’t hold my breath.

Adrian Griffin deserved so much more.
#Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Myles Turner’s minutes have been down of late because “we’ve had guys who are playing better.”

Very cool video (credit to the amazing u/ogasawarabaseball on Reddit) of what looks to be the first home run in South Sudan’s national baseball team history, hit by captain Biol Atem at the U-15 Baseball World Cup Africa Qualifier.

Brewers legend Ben Gamel signed a minor league deal with the Braves.

Reportedly the Diamondbacks are shopping Ketel Marte. $17M AAV over 6 yr.

Marte is the best 2nd basemen in the league but for how much longer. He is 32 this next season. Half of that contract is probably fine.

Dbacks also incentivized to trade him now before his 10/5 rights kick in.
