    When you have a lot of money in Southern California, life can be really, really enjoyable.

    Lose some velocity, pick up a cutter. Woody has transformed himself marvelously.

    I did that to a kid my very first tee-ball practice. Right between the eyes, busted him open. Never wanted to pitch after that. A few years later when I was 11 or 12 my coach asked me to because we had no other pitchers available. Was not comfortable at all the first inning (walked the first five batters). Ended up throwing a complete game with 9 Ks in 5 innings.

    Another 4+ run inning. They sure learned how to pour it on this year.

    Have to do that during the regular season. Fine line between starters going too long and burning out the bullpen. Have to manage for the marathon before getting to the sprint at the finish. Lot more off days in the playoffs where the bullpen will be rested. Starters rarely go more than 2x through the lineup.

    Here's his OPS-A by inning: 1st: .550 2nd: .608 3rd: .693 4th: .641 5th: .856 By pitch count: 1-25: .556 26-50: .679 51-75: .706 76-100: .829 His issues have come when they have tried to stretch him into the 6th inning. In the playoffs there will be no need for that. He'll be perfectly fine as a starter in the playoffs who will go 2x through the lineup (like just about every starter in the playoffs): 1st PA: .658 2nd PA: .653 3rd PA: .845

    Stood next to him in an elevator in Cedars Sinai about 20 years ago

    With Quintana's calf injury, they may need Patrick for a spot start or at least long relief outing.

    Never fear, Vaughn is here!

    Angels can hit HRs, but that's about it. 3rd to last in OBP. Solo HRs rarely hurt you.

    I feel pretty confident saying that come playoffs, Perkins will be nothing more than a PR/late inning defensive replacement.
  12. LouisEly
    Please explain how you have made it this far in life without those two things.

    As someone who works in the marketing field, this is something that is easily solved. For several years now, there has been a saying that "6 (seconds) is the new 60 (seconds)". People just don't have the attention span for long commercials, and half of people watching the game at home are going to the bathroom, getting a beer or a snack, checking their phone, etc. Hell, some bars play music during the commercials. It would be really, really easy to make 6-second commercials to play on TV between plays. The networks can get just as much ad money (perhaps even more), and advertisers are going to get more eyes and ears on those commercials than having 2:30 commercial breaks when they know and have known for years that half of the audience is doing something else during commercials. They need to take a cue from baseball. Pick up the pace.

    Since coming back off of the IL, Bauers has a .969 OPS and a 1.204 OPS over the last 6 games. Ride the hot hand.

    My family has had season tickets in section H for 55 years. For most of the last 20 years I've lived outside of WI, so I'm lucky if I get to one game a year. Thus the novelty is still there for me and I enjoy going to the games, win or lose. It's the totality of the experience - going back to Madison, walking with the crowd to the game, going to a bar on Regent or Brats before the game, hitting the bookstore and State Street before or after the game, dinner up by the square afterwards. For me, it's about much more than the game. Maybe if I went five times a year I might feel differently. Just curious, other than winning, what would make you feel differently? Now that it's legal to pay players, and they're in a conference with much deeper pockets in Oregon, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, they're very unlikely to finish in the top four and go to the conference championship game and/or the Rose Bowl. Barring a ridiculously easy schedule fluke I think that 9-3 is the best they are going to be moving forward regardless of who is the coach.

    Absolutely. The Big Ten has by far the biggest TV deal and each Big Ten legacy team is getting $70M/year from TV revenue. College athletes are initially going to get $20M/year for their share, so they can afford any coach they want to.

    Luke Fickell was the top coaching candidate on the market in 2022. He could have gone anywhere. UW gave him 80% of $54.6M reasons to come to UW. His $7.6M/year is 3x more than any assistant in college football is getting.

    Not true, a number of top programs contacted him when he was the DC and he turned them down. He only wanted to be HC at UW. However, these two statements have a lot of truth to them. Leonhard didn't want to HC anywhere other than UW because he didn't want to move his family around. That, to me, says that he wanted the title of HC but not the responsibilities of being a HC that would involve not spending a lot of time with your family. Leonhard was PC's right-hand man and Leonhard had a big part in the downfall in recruiting. #1 responsibility falls under PC - and I remember a story that a 4-star LB was visiting for a game and nobody talked to him. Leonhard is the DC, he has some responsibility for that. One of the reasons that Mac wasn't sold on Leonhard is that when he interviewed him, Leonhard talked about how he would keep a lot of things the same. Mac knew that keeping things the same was going to be a disaster. Fickell always was Mac's #1, but Leonhard did nothing in the interview process to sway Mac into pivoting to Leonhard when Fickell was waffling about taking the position. Just look at the 2022 game against Ohio State. That was before PC got fired. Leonhard's defense gave up 21 in the first quarter, 31 at half, and 45 through three quarters. Not any different than their performance against Alabama today.

    So, basically get him an entire offense. (And he needs a RB now, too.)

    And I think some people really underestimate how difficult it is to throw a ball 40 yards with the accuracy and timing to hit receivers consistently and over-estimate what that completion percentage should be, even for the best NFL QBs.

    Jordan Love has an average deep ball completion percentage according to this source. Ranked 17th in 2024, 16th in 2023: https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/jordan-love/ It's far from a predictor of success. According to that same source, Patrick Mahomes ranked 34th in 2024 (26.5%), Josh Allen ranked 26th, Lamar Jackson ranked 27th.

    Rodgers learned under Favre, Love learned under Rodgers.

    Washington has absolutely dominated the field position battle but has done nothing with it.

    SiriusXM listening to the Packers' radio feed.

    Washington's longest drive so far is 37 yards and they have yet to get inside of the 30-yard-line. Plenty of time left, but so far they haven't shown an ability to sustain any type of drive.
