We talked all about that, about Manfred's future in MLB, Garrett Mitchell's immediate future and the potential for expansion teams and realignment.

The MLBPA finally had enough of the owners stall tactics this week and just told the commissioner to tell them where and when to show up to start the season. We talked all about that, whether most owners even like baseball or if it's just an investment, and just how badly did MLB screw up back in March. Then it was onto an extended discussion of the Brewers five picks from this week's amateur draft, your obligatory European soccer question and Jaymes' favorite color.

After a long week off, the guys are back to talk all about the owners latest proposal to start the baseball season, how the schedule might setup, which Brewers batters could see the most increased playing time with a DH added and how Jeff Cirillo might fare in the modern game. Also, the respective benefits of urinals, troughs and sinks are discussed for some reason.

Brewers players are slowly starting to trickle into Maryvale to begin working out, MLB and the MLBPA are going to really start discussing financial terms on Tuesday and the Brewers did what some other teams have not in guaranteeing to pay the baseball ops staff through the end of the year. We talked about all that, and answered a number of your Bundesliga, KBO and Ravioli related questions on this week's episode.

Over the weekend details started to emerge about the practical (read: non-financial) side of MLB potentially returning to the field this year. The guys discussed the proposed testing protocols, MLB's ethical obligations and some of the hurdles still remaining. After that, it was onto discussions of Blake Snell's big mouth, how the Brewers setup in the event of the universal DH becoming reality and, of course, your Bundesliga related questions.
Also in this week's episode is a special interview with Brewers 40-man roster member and Wisconsin native J. P. Feyereisen. Thanks to Patreon Sponsor Jay Gugel for helping set that up!

MLB ownership submitted an offer to the MLBPA on Monday that would force them to take a major cut in pay from their agreed upon deal in March and the players aren't having any of it and neither are Jaymes, Paul or Ryan. The guys went on to discuss how this proposal was really a stealthy way to finally impose the owners dream salary cap, how it does little to nothing practically to actually get baseball on the field and how it's likely just setting the union up to take the fall in the public's eye if no baseball is able to be played in 2020. After that, it was onto the owners decision to unilaterally impose a 5 round MLB draft this June, and the inevitable postponement of the 2021 World Baseball Classic.

We also played "guess that Brewer" and took some of your questions on potential expansion and what we would trade for baseball to return tomorrow.

With minimal baseball news to discuss this week, we decided to do a fantasy draft of all time Brewers. A player only needs to have played one game for the team to be eligible, but the choice of cumulative value versus peak is left up to you to decide. You can find a link to the results here.
We also discussed our ongoing efforts to help out local food banks, including Milwaukee's Hunger Task Force, by offering to match any donation made up to $500 total. We're at $275 dollars through Sunday the 26th, but still have some distance to go before reaching our goal.

Hi Everyone!
Make sure you have your copy of Major League queued up as Paul, Brad, and Ryan are joined by Acme Packing Company's Tex Western and Jonathan Barnett to walk you through the 1989 classic. We walk through Milwaukee lore, the janitor from Scrubs, the Moneyball implications of the Indians, how Jobu is not a thing and pretty offensive, batting out of order to beat the Yankees, what was improvised, what was not, Corbin Burnes, Corbin Burneson, and the improbably record of the Duke. Plus Wesley Snipes awkward running.

We also discussed a number of Brewers farm hands and touched on some larger trends in the game.

Also discussed were how Christian Yelich's contract might have been different if it had been just a little delayed, what having no 2020 season would mean for all the Brewers 2021 contract options and an extended trip down memory lane to talk about some of our earliest memories with the game of baseball.

Steve rejoined the podcast for one week to reminisce about some opening day memories at Miller Park over the years. Apparently people get a little wild and irresponsible sometimes at those. Before that, though, the guys discussed the agreement between MLB and the players union on a framework for what this year might look like both in terms of getting back on the field and dealing with the draft. We also took a few listener questions, including one about David Stearns trade history.

With baseball news scarce this week, we decided to bring you a draft of things we love about being a baseball fan, but with a major twist. We decided to draft things that we love to hate about our baseball rivals. Can't stand Go Cubs Go, #CardinalDevilMagic, Wrigley Field North or Marty Brennaman? Neither can we, and we got down in the muck and happily wallowed in our dislike of all things NL Central for your entertainment.

With Ryan out this week, Jaymes, Brad, and Paul discuss PECOTA's team predictions confirming that the Reds are in fact good. They also do a deep dive into the arbitration process including how Dellin Betances earlier loss to the Yankees made a win by Hader virtually impossible, how Suter thankfully settled, and why arbitration is evil, generally speaking. The gang also takes a nice set of questions from our Patreon supporters, and talks about the new free agents they're most excited to see in camp, as well as Justin Smoak.

The guys also talked Runnin' Ron Roenicke being hired by the Red Sox, the impending Mookie Betts trade being completed, the shape of a potential Christian Yelich extension and, of course, whether or not the Reds are any good yet.

Luis Urias is going to miss 6-8 weeks with a broken hamate bone, which puts him back sometime near the start of the season and the guys discuss how his return to the field might not be the end of the issue for him in 2020. After that, it was time to discuss David Phelps signing and where he might fit into the bullpen. Next it was time for some group therapy to deal with the unpleasantness that is Jeremy Jeffress signing with the Cubs and the Reds continuing to spend big money to win now. Finally, your questions this week included discussion of what we're excited about for the upcoming season, some potential minor league breakouts and the idea that the Brewers could have lost money in 2019.

After 121 episodes with Steve, JP and Ryan as the primary hosts of Milwaukee's Tailgate, the time has come for some changes. Both Steve and JP have decided to step away from the weekly grind and will no longer be regular members of the podcast. This week's episode is a goodbye to that era, but also features discussions about the slow holiday weeks, how the third base and bullpen situations might still change, and of course, a few arguments and laughs.
After some initial hesitation to continue on without them, Ryan decided to reach out to a few people to team up to carry on. That team came together so quickly and seamlessly that going forward became a no-brainer of a decision. So, while this will be the last episode with the original cast, this will not be the final episode of Milwaukee's Tailgate.
The new group joining Ryan are all familiar Brewers online presences as well as veterans of MKE Tailgate. Jaymes L. has been writing on the Brewers at various websites for over a decade and will take over in Steve's role as host. Paul Noonan, the host of our sister Packers pod, Reporting as Eligible, will take on a full time role after being Tailgate 1.0's most frequent guest. Finally, Brad Ford will be taking over for JP on the Minor League Extra and, from time to time, on the regular podcast as well.
So join our new group next week on Milwaukee's Tailgate podcast.

Ryan, Steve and J.P. discuss the potential roles for players like Avisail Garcia, Justin Smoak and Eric Sogard. Recorded before the White Sox reportedly signed Dallas Kuechel, the guys also talk about why the team is unlikely to sign the mid-tier pitchers available even though they have the payroll flexibility.

The Milwaukee Brewers played a light week of games, but there was a lot to talk about. J.P., Ryan and Steve spend a lot of time discussing the ups and downs of Josh Hader and if there is something that he needs to change or fix in his game. Trent Grisham has shown off some power and is getting more at-bats, so what does that mean for Lorenzo Cain. And the brewers scouting department had a shake up, and the guys discuss what that ends for the future.

This week, Ryan and JP were joined by The Athletic's Milwaukee Bucks beat writer Eric Nehm to discuss the latest trials and tribulations of the Brewers 2019 season. After discussing the week that was, the injuries to the starting pitchers, the big wins versus the Cubs, we moved onto the upcoming trade deadline and talked about some different trade scenarios proposed by readers. Eric then treated listeners to a discussion of the difficulties of covering basketball from an analytical perceptive and compared it to covering baseball in that way. Stick around all the way to the end to hear the results of Episode 100's listener contest, which came right down to the wire on Sunday.

Instead of the player pool being 2019 Major Leaguers, though, J.P.'s All-Star team only includes Brewers players from the 21st century. Much like the real-life All-Star squad, there are gonna be some controversial snubs. Who made the team?

As the All-Star Break is now upon us, they look back at the ups and downs of the Milwaukee Brewers' first half. What went right? What went wrong? J.P. and Ryan give their answers to those questions, and they also try to isolate where the club's main problem lies: the offense, the rotation, or the bullpen.

The Brewers took a college pitcher with their first-round pick of the 2019 MLB Draft. It caused some people to bring up the name Eric Arnett again, which is the equivalent of a four-letter word for Brewers fans. J.P. Breen looks back at the Eric Arnett selection and the rest of the 2009 MLB Draft to see what has changed in the past decade. He comes to the conclusion, too, that the 2009 Draft may actually have been a success for the Brewers, believe it or not.
