I think they would have done better. Recall -- Gary Andersen tried to revamp the offense and see where that got him? They went back to being tough up front only to go away from it when Fickell came back.

BTW: I haven't heard Posa's name mentioned once. Keep working as the underdog, Mason.

I am encouraged by what I have seen so far. The offense is showing more than they did last year. In the past, on the TD, our quarterback would have either thrown it out of bounds or threw it so hard that it would have been dropped. There was one play by Joseph where he hit a WR screen before the receiver cleared knowing he would be there. This would have been an epic failure during the past few years.

I do not want to see the Notre Dame fans complain about the replay for Michigan's game. Why even have replay? That said, the ball shouldn't have bounced off the returner's chest plate. Who was the returner? I don't know because the tv guys have maybe said the names of 6 Badgers the entire game. What a joke.

I have a feeling that May was here to be more of an innings eater than anything else. He should be doing better for sure.

Yup… the Packers are living in the heads of the Chicago faithful rent free. 🤷‍♂️

I keep saying that I know a 50+ year old who throws a knuckleball... 😉

How many pitchers, besides Ohtani, have had an RBI this year? Vaughn for MVP!!!!

Keep the hands quiet and get back to basics. Also, don't worry so much about lifting the ball to the pull side. That is when the timing gets out of whack. I keep thinking of Paul Molitor -- he had very quiet hands.

Our view of the scoreboard during a chunk of the game: There were a lot of glitches. It was interesting during the seventh inning stretch because you could tell what fans really knew the words to “Take me out to the Ballgame” and “Beer Barrel Polka.”

Great article, but BATTERMIND has got me thinking a little bit about blueberry muffins (the "batter" part)... 😉 I was thinking last night about how the Brewers have been able to use parts interchangeably. Dustin May gets drilled and Robert Gasser steps in. Sal Frelick is injured, takes time off, and Luis Lara steps in. Cooper Pratt needs to sit in the corner and Joey and Hamilton step in. Wash... rinse... repeat. I am currently a CTO. During my career when I would design a network, I would need to design redundancies. What happens if a cable between the 15th and 16th floor is cut? What if the HVAC company floods the server room when trying to put in a new air conditioning unit? In the IT space, this is commonly referred to as "N+1". Copilot gives the following defintion: I believe it applies to the Brewers. This is an overarching design, but doesn't address things that occur in the foxhole. The article focuses on this perfectly. Also, if someone needs to leave the foxhole (Dustin, Sal, Abner, etc.), they don't need to fear that their job won't be there. They can work hard and earn their place on the field (Joey). These things are not unique to the Brewers -- they just do it well... and continue to get better at it.

I remember our Spanish teacher making it a point that we put a space when using "a lot". He allotted a lot of time to talk about "a lot." I find that I shake my head when seeing things like that. Oh well. I still need to learn much of the texting vernacular, FWIW.

I suddenly found myself with a pandiculation episode... 😉

Finally saw the Odyssey this week. Never read it from Homer. I though it was done really well. Would have been a good film to write on for my film class... way back in 1990... 😉

A little off topic, but when I see pitchers like Cal Quantrill and Andrew Painter, it reminds me of their fathers... ... who played at the University of Wisconsin!!!!! Bring back baseball!
