The overwhelming step of the Breweers, the standard of Juan Soto, the “107 mph” of Lin Chin-Tse and more in the Ninth of AM850.

1. How do you stop the Breweers?

The money does not Buy happiness (I mimic it very well, a few would say), the Milwaukee Brewers know, team whose payroll is the seventh “modest” of Major Leagues ($ 113,093,800) and still leads the largest in victories (78-44), taking a six-game income from the Toront Central Division of the National League. The brewers without Blin Blin (The Puerto Ricans would say) and the Los Angeles Dodgers ticket, New York Yankees, New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies have managed to maximize their strengths throughout the campaign, obtaining positive record in each month: April (16-11), May (15-13), June (16-9), July (17-7) and August (14-0). Right now they walk in a streak of 14 consecutive victories, which exceeds the franchise record (13 in 1987) founded in 1969 as Seattle Pilots and that a year later he moved to his current location where he changed his name to Brewers. To have an idea of how dominant they have been, prior to the stars game they played for 56-40 and after the recess for the mid-season classic, they present a balance of 22-4. Although they have never won a World Seriesand have only played in one, before the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982, there is optimism in Milwaukee.

2. Milwaukee surrenders to the brewers

In the section Letters to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editor, an amateur pondered the chemistry of the team and stopped to praise Sal Frowlck. “While all team members deserve applause for their contributions, there is a player who highlights me: Sal Freeick,” he wrote. “What really impacts me when seeing Francek is how much it reminds me of Pete Roseand with this I mean Pete Rose as a player, leaving aside the controversies that plagued his career and his legacy. Is Freekk the ‘Charlie Hustle’ of modern baseball? Without a doubt, he plays as such: throwing himself to catch the balls, running the bases with aggressiveness, working every turn to bat and doing everything possible to get victory for the team. That is what it highlights: it focuses on the success of the team, not only on personal achievements. “The postseason is a surprise box, but this could be the year of changing the history of the franchise. Knowledge have not been able to establish a manual to play in October; too many intangible variables make a credible calculation virtually impossible. However, Milwaukee has very little. (if not a debacle occurs) without the pressure that accompanies the greats, those to which only the World Series champion ring is worth them. Dodgers (+350) and Phillies (+600). Could it be that the commissioner’s trophy will first travel to Milwaukee?

3. Jen Pawol and the double standard of each day

Jen Pawol made history Last week as the first woman Umpire in an official match in MLB. A few days later, she became the first woman to sing balls and strikes as the main arbitrator. But instead of celebrating that historical moment, a sector of the so -called ‘experts’ of the networks made sure to share the graphs of their ‘mistakes’ behind the dish, something that never, (I repeat, never) had been seen when a man debuts in that same position. It is a new example of how the recognition of women who break barriers is minimized. Pawol crossed all kinds of filters to win their position and enter one of the most closed professions of sport in terms of gender. But for some, the most important thing was the “Let’s see how he did it”, leave the trial on the networks and compare it to referees with 25 years of experience. Anyway, Jen Pawol He did very well. (Hiram Martínez)

4. Those who do know … They think of Jen Pawol

The more praise Honest came from those who really matter: the players and coaches who shared ground with her. “I think he did a great job,” the Marlins manager told MLB, Clayton McCullough. “He was quite serene out there. He handled the game very well. It was a great day for her and a great day for Major League Baseball“.” I’m sure I was well prepared, “added the Marlins opener, Cal Quantrill,” I thought it was good, and I think he did an excellent job … I should be very proud of herself, and it is a little wonder to have participated. I know it is an important day for her, but I think that part of respecting her is simply trying to keep him normal and professional. I congratulated her after the first post and, otherwise, I focused on the game. “(Hiram Martínez)

5. Juan Soto, victim of his own standard

I share the opinion of me Colega Juan A. Recio. The performance of Juan Sotoafter signing this year the highest guaranteed contract in the history of the professional sport of the United States ($ 765 million for 15 years), pales in the comparison to the first campaign of Shohei Ohtani after sforming in 2024 the one that at the time was the most lucrative pact ($ 700 million for 10 years). In his first campaign with Dodgers, Ohtani did something unpublished: 50-50 (54 homers and 59 stolen bases), something that Soto will not reach. However, adjusting to the strictly statistical, the first year of the Dominican with the New York Mets It has not been as bad as it appears. Its offensive line of .252 AVE, .384 ObP, .499 SLG, .883 OPS is below what is done in general in his career (.281 AVE, .417 ObP, .528 SLG, .945 OPS), but Soto has hit 30 homers, towed 70 and negotiated 93 bases by balls, leader in both leagues. Going to the projections, the 26 -year -old Quequeyano would be hitting 40 flycracks and pushing 94. Numbers above the average. Another fact provided by AM850 ResearchSoto also became the third player in the history of MLB with 30 HR in 3 consecutive seasons for 3 different teams (San Diego Padres 2023, New York Yankees 2024 and METS 2025) together with Alfonso Soriano (2005-07) and Carlos Delgado (2004-06). Now I re -assemble my colleague Recio’s car, which will determine the Soto qualification in 2025 will be their ability or not to lead the Mets to the World Series. If it arrives, most will look at him with good eyes, of not achieving it, criticism will arrive.

6. Mets with many home runs and no fireworks

The Mets became protagonists of a viral moment in the week when Citi Field ran out without pyrotechnics to celebrate the home runs of their team. The Mets hit six home runs-Pope Alonso (2), Francisco Álvarez (2), Brandon Nimmo and Brett Bitch-to the Atlanta Braves on August 12 and fortunately for those in charge of them there. Anyway, providing another home run given the explosion of power of the team, they alerted the fans through a designed message on the stadium screen that had exhausted the fireworks. Beyond the peculiar situation, Alonso’s first home run placed him as the maximum home run in the history of the team with 253, exceeding 252 of Darryl Strawberry. In addition, the 6 home runs that night were with 2 outs, which according to AM850 Researchtied the largest amount of homers with 2 outs in a game since the era of expansion began in 1961, along with the pirates vs. ChC of 1970, the Dodgers vs. A thousand of 2002, the Cleveland vs. 2013 Phi and the Blue Jays vs. 2021 network. Steve Cohenthe owner of the Mets, should release the ticket a bit to avoid this type of contingency.

8. Luxury coaches in Puerto Rico for the 2026 World Classic

What a encounter! The member of the Hall of Fame, Edgar Martínezand the home run Juan ‘Igor’ González They will share tasks such as team’s batting instructors Puerto Rico For him World Baseball Classicadding to a stellar coaches roster that already has the ex -great -grandson Joey Cora, Sandy Alomar, Alex Cintrón and the Manager Yadier Molina. Martínez and González know a lot of batting, as their respective summaries indicate. The first averaged .312 with an impressive offensive line of .418/.515/.933 in 18 seasons in the Older. The best design prize is named. González, meanwhile, was a twice Most valuable player which ended with .295 on average (.343/.561/.904), 434 homers and 1,404 rangs, which has been successful as a manager, with gold medals in the Central American and Caribbean Games of 2018 and the 2019 Pan American Games. Why a reunion? The last time Martínez and González were in the same team was as members of the remembered ‘Dream Team’ of the 1995 Caribbean Seriesin which the Puerto Ricans presented a fearsome alignment that also included Roberto Alomar, Bernie Williams, Rubén Sierra, Carlos Baerga, Carlos Delgado, Carmelo Martínez and Rey Sánchez. Anyway, they will not only bring knowledge, but an aura of champions. (Hiram Martínez)

8. Do not forget this name: Lin Chin-Tse

As every year, baseball lovers are doubly party. While the season of MLB Heats with the fight for a place in the postseason, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the Small Leagues World Series (LLWSfor its acronym in English), the best space to see children, between 10 and 12 years old, showing off a baseball diamond. There are few who were there in the past that today are stars of Major Leagues. Lin Chin-Tse, a 12-year-old boy from China Taipéi could join that group in the future. And, Chin-Tse, launched two lines of 82 miles per hour from the box placed 46 feet from the plate, which is equivalent to 107 mph in MLB where the stipulated distance of the box to the plate is 60 feet. Chin-tse only launched three tickets to the Mexican representative Chihuahuabut he had time to put eight of the batters he faced. The face of Mexican children was a poem. They couldn’t believe what they were facing. To have an idea, since the speed began to measure the record in MLB It is 105.1 mph held by the Cuban Aroldis Chapman. Missing time, but Chin-Tse looks like a phenomenon.

9. Troleo in the Big Apple

The Yankees They do not cross their best moment. They still have the third, and last, wild card for the postseason, but that does not prevent antiyanquis fans from taking advantage of the slightest slit to make fun. You do not have to go to Los Angeles, Houston or Boston, in any artery of the Big Apple, Yankees fans can find pearls like those shown by the video below. Judge for yourself …
