Conquerors [In the Bullpen]

We are down to four Major League Baseball teams still playing baseball.

The NLCS got underway last night, and the ALCS will begin tonight.

I want to look at something about these four teams.

I want to look at where they rank in the payroll for the 2026 season.

The Dodgers rank number two, behind only the New York Mets.

who, of course, did not make the playoffs.

And that became evident fairly early, or at least not too late into the season.

The next highest payroll of the four teams remaining actually belongs to the Milwaukee Brewers.

They come in at number 19.

Tampa Bay, number 26.

Cleveland is dead last in payroll for the 2026 season at number 30.

I just thought you might like to know, if you did not already.

You likely already know what happens Sunday night in Milwaukee, Dodgers versus Brewers.

Tarek Skubal, the starter for the Dodgers, Jacob Mizorowski for the Brewers.

Some would say you could call this a heavyweight bout.

I might call it that as well, but since neither pitcher went more than five innings, I'm not sure that's exactly how we want to describe the game.

Nonetheless, it was a very good game, and this was a very big blow in that game.

Sliced in the air, deep center field.

Pahez going back, running out of room.

It's tied.

It's tied.

And how about that? It's a Brewers home run that changes it all in game one.

Well, they love this guy.

He got the count in his favor, and he sold out on a fastball.

Got this crowd going crazy again.
