LilKitKat's Second Cumming Thread 💦

Howz everyone in Toronto feeling?
How about you all in Seattle?
Any Milwaukee fans?

Just curious, not tryint to talk smack...just curious how you all are doing given each series...
Relieved that we get to fight another day, but tempering my expectation that we will win in Toronto. There was a collective "Here we go again" groan from the entire state watching the previous two games. Pulling off tonight's win bolstered a little hope. Not much, but some.
I don't know where I'd start if that was in front of me.

Well its been a rough fucking week for us brewer fans.

but we're a small market team that seems to never get this far, so whatever.

they kinda peaked midseason but kept winning enough to get the no. 1 seed.

i guess if we are counting total wins vs the dodgers for the year. its 6 to 4 :D

see how next year goes. It'll be interesting to see if they actually put caps on the MLB like the NFL, it would make it more competitive.

i guess go blue jays or mariners.

Yeah, a lifelong Brewers fan here (like, from waaaaay before you were born).

Congratulations, I guess???

A $350 MILLION payroll vs a $165 million payroll kinda dictated the outcome (I won’t even go into the Dodgers ONE BILLION dollar deferred salary shenanigans).

The All-Star team won…again…

That ^ is kinda why I have lost a good amount of interest in baseball.

I can’t even say I’m disappointed, - because I expected the outcome. And I’m actually happy it was a sweep, because it shines an even brighter light on the league’s fucked up salary rules.

Good luck in the World Series (though I doubt you’ll need it).

So very true.

Ill be rooting for yer team!

dodgers were sooooo mid during the middle part of the year. I mean yes, ok, we didnt have snell, roki, ohtani pitching...treinen and tanner scott kept getting rolled out and kept blowing games...but it was very unsettling considering they have one of the best teams ever assembled on paper.

but sure if you want to count regular season wins as a moral victory, be my guest. hehe.

as far as salary caps go, i only partly agree with you. one thing never pointed out is that the dodgers spend more than basically anyone because yes, they can, but also because they want to...ie, instead of the owner lining his/her pockets, they put it back into the team.
also...yes they spent a ton on ohtani, tanner scott, yoshi...but before that...most players were traded to the dodgers and/or homegrown. so...blame other owners for trading players like mookie betts to the dodgers for good prospects etc instead of resigning those guys themselves or trading to other teams.
also...best teams on paper dont always win.
mariners and brewers are in "final four"...giants and padres usually spend a ton and didnt do much. yankees yes, cubs, bosox its never a guarantee.
and last year dodgers starters were all injured. ironically like much of this year.

theres a salary cap in basektball yet the lakers and spurs dominated the 2000s until the warriors dominated the 2010s.
a cap isnt always a sure thing fix-all

i would actually say certain teams did well DESPITE the non-cap

milwaukee isnt a "desirable" city for a star as opposed to LA/NY/SF/Texas/Florida etc...no major media, sponsorships type of things.
middle of the country, so not easy for say Japanese/Korean players to see family etc...
and yet you had the best record and made it to the final four.
and also, some of those cities dont have the "history" of say the Dodgers or Yankees...but I mean the Cardinals are one of the best teams ever. Thats not a big market city per se, at least not compared to LA/NY.
If there was a say...200 mil salary cap...would the onwer spend? They dont now.

It would be funny to see the blue jays or mariners win it all though

Um, what???

🤔

No “offense”, but your “defense” of MLB’s salary "rules" and the Dodger’s (and Yankees, etc) exploitation (violation?) of said "rules" is a bit whacked.

If you want to get into the weeds about the changes to salary cap rules, player trades, and free agency rules over the years in the various major sports leagues (and even college sports, with transfers, etc), and how certain big market teams (and some big name players) exploited / evaded said rules, you will have to make that journey alone. I lived through it and have had faaaaar too many debates about it.

😳

I WOULD say the NFL currently has it just about right with their salary & free agency rules (and the draft)! as far as competitive balance is concerned - and the results bear that out.
