Jake Bauers' dad, Stu, showed me his resting heart rate data over the last few months. October baseball is something else.

YOUR MILWAUKEE BREWERS ARE HEADING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest WI athletes of all time. Excited for 34 to be in the rafters, and the reunion this season.

Unbelievable. I can’t think of any modern pro athlete that has demonstrated such (perhaps unwarranted) loyalty. Giannis forever.

And did this while aggressively and vocally resisting calls to leave for bigger markets. Signed an extension ASAP to avoid it being a distraction, etc.
You’ll never hear a bad word about him from me. Excited for the statue.
He saved an entire franchise and then brought said franchise its first championship in 50 years. He should be the most beloved Wisconsin sports figure in history.

Outside of a couple of key plays, I thought Branch played a really good game and actually covered well overall.
Football (especially defense) is hard.
Brian Branch on this play: “When I looked back for the ball, instead of looking up, I looked back at the QB, and I didn’t see the trajectory of the ball … I was in perfect position. It’s not something the reciever did, it’s my doing, that’s all. I just gotta be better.”

The pitch clock has been one of the best rule change success stories in North American sports despite receiving lots of hate initially. Including from me.

Jackson Chourio extension looks great based on these numbers.
BREAKING: Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox are finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a club option and will keep Anthony under team control through 2034.

The "Never pay relievers" mentality, mixed with the Brewers uncanny ability to develop pitching, has turned into an incredible pipeline. With Uribe up next.
Trevor Megill just named to the all-star team.
That makes it so the last 6 different pitchers going back to 2013 to lead the Brewers in saves in a season all were all-stars as Brewers (Megill, Williams, Hader, Knebel, Jeffress, Rodriguez).

Brewers hovering near middle of the pack despite 1. Underwhelming start to the season and 2. The smallest metro area in the league. Can only guess they'd be near the top in attendance per capita.
This is an interesting chart tracking the YoY change in MLB attendance by team.
The Mets, Tigers, and Royals are up big, while the Cardinals, Orioles, and Pirates have dropped 10-20%.
The A's are up 65% (but still have MLB's 2nd worst attendance).
