MLB season 2025

Dumper with the Derby W as well. I know it shouldn't matter, but this kind of stuff helps build MVP narratives.

"Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski added to National League All-Star roster after just five starts.

Misiorowski is also the 30th first-time All-Star on this year's rosters and the 16th replacement. His addition means there are now 80 total All-Stars for 2025.

To be sure, Misiorowski is a compelling presence already. In his very brief career to date, he's regularly topped 100 mph with his fastball, he's outdueled Skenes head-to-head, he's taken a perfect game bid into the seventh inning, and he's struck out 12 against the reigning-champion Dodgers.

this reminds me of Shaq getting in as top 50 .. and only played a short time in the NBA ..( who would of think it - HOFer..lmao)
Miz could be a Sandy Kofax

Tell me how you feel about Alex Anthopoulos.

Been listening to 680 a lot and they never press the guy. I think he's made blunder after blunder since winning the World Series.

How'd yall feel about the way they did extra innings for the ASG?

Why not just do the man on second rule. The game surely wouldn't last too much longer.

Mixed. There were a few gambles made that haven't paid off so far. At the end of day, paying massive contracts to guys like Freddie and Fried just isn't in his MO. And before now things have paid off.

It's not really his fault though that injuries have been such a factor the last couple of years (allowing very little continuity and rhythm to be established) and that some of the established guys like Ozzie and Michael Harris, and even Riley to a lesser extent, have really fallen off a cliff from a production standpoint.

We've close to having to restart. I'd say if 2026 goes then same then blow it up.

The only guy they should have paid was Freddie. Atlanta fans are weird. They obsess over "their" guy when it comes down to whether or not the Braves should keep them, always leaning towards keeping them. Swanson was trash, and Fried was just inconsistent with his health and in the playoffs. But there's just no way you could have replaced Freddie's production and leadership with a guy like Matt Olson. Murphy was a mistake to me too even though the players we gave up haven't really amounted to anything so far.

For me, the biggest issue has been the lack of making big splashes while telling the fanbase that money isn't an issue. All the while, the teams that are always in contention are out there spending and rightfully so. The Starting Pitching conundrum is one of his biggest blunders to date. There is no reason that at least one of Crochet, Gray, or Cease shouldn't be on this roster right now. How do you go into the season with Holmes and AJSS as 2/5th's of your rotation and expect to get back to being a World Series caliber team. Either Alex is vastly overrated or his hands are tied behind his back from Liberty.

They should be sellers and I hope they sell Albies, Harris, Murphy, and even Ozuna who I really like. Hell, for the right offer, I'll entertain moving on from Acuña. Those knees are shot.
