  1. That slider is killing Miz RN He needs something mid 80s for velo more consistently
  2. The Big Ten realignment after the additions of the Pac 12 schools also brutalized the Badger program, because they made hay being the best program in the worst Big Ten division (Big Ten West) - that guaranteed them a spot in the Big 10 title game annually unless they were in a total rebuilding year. After the divisions were eliminated, their typical conference schedule got tougher at the same time as some of these marquee out of conference matchups with blue blood programs show up on their schedule, and they don't have the NIL war chest that the biggest programs in the conference have to compete. They're back to being an afterthought on the national stage, which sucks.
  3. Really? Best record in the majors and no good stretch in the last two ish months??? Unless youre looking for a 20 game win streak....they've essentially been 6-4 or 7-3 in their last ten constantly besides that SD sweep. If they havent, nobody has
  4. Mitchell draws lots of walks...he also sure seems to take a ton of very hittable strikes in effort to draw those walks instead of trying to do damage Swing the bat, kid
  5. I dont feel like the dodgers cheat - their baseball ops dont cheat within the confines of the existing CBA, which in itself is a complete joke for playing field parity financially. Their baseball people arent the ones who have developed this circular revenue stream that is shady at best and most likely illegal (as you say, the dodgers are but a piece of the internally owned asset/insurance coverage/financing shell game the owner has pulled together). But, it's the fact they've been able to operate like they have using revenues/backing no other mlb organization could dream of that is driving the need for a salary cap/floor in a league that really would never actually require it if not for what the Dodgers have created. If there's an extended work stoppage in baseball that loses 1-2 seasons, its not the owners or players at fault as a while - it's the Dodgers' owners group for getting things to this point.
  6. The CBA for a professional sports league isn't going to dive into how an organization comes up with funding to pay their players - it lets the legal system determine whether or not how funding is generated is above board. Not the same exact scenario, but it's how the Mets' previous ownership group screwed themselves with investing heavily in Madoff's ponzi scheme while the rest of MLB ownership either looked the other way or were totally ignorant, too. That doesn't mean if this guy, who certainly appears to be dabbling in legally questionable business practices, isn't putting himself in the type of legal trouble that would require his ownership group sell the Dodgers and find us all realizing the way that organization found a way to build the type of infinite revenue streams allowing them to monopolize MLB was illegal.
  7. Turang needs a couple game break...just nothing but non-threatening ABs for what seems like weeks
  8. He's been great - but nowhere near Bonds level. PCA still sees more than 1 strike a game and honestly doesn't get pitched around even when he's been on HR binges
  9. not to mention, a significant chunk of PCA's lofty WAR comes from defensive OF metrics that I think way overinflate player value - even compared to just infield defense. Don't get me wrong, I do think he's a great player - I just hate him because he's on the Cubs and he fits the personality mold of many of the most annoying Cub fans I lived around while in the Chicago area from college through my young professional life.
  10. He's this Cubs team's Javy Baez - good player that becomes overrated based on his on-field antics/flair. I think some of it for me with PCA is he fits the mold of the stereotypical Perfect Game travel ball showcase clown that has to make sure he's the prettiest peacock in the ballpark at all times. The Brewers have proven that the "book" on him offensively hasn't really changed - he's been their worst hitter against Milwaukee this season. i have been surprised by the pop he's developed this season pushing 40 HRs, so credit to him in that regard.
  11. 2 walks against the shaky command of Miz last night and a meaningless single off the mound drove PCA's season OPS against the Brewers all the way up to 0.322, slightly higher than against the Twins at 0.321. Here's to hoping Henderson has his good changeup working tonight and PCA can practice his super cool bat flips on his way back to the dugout after a couple more K's to get back closer to that 0.300 line. I get that he's among the NL leaders for MVP at this point mainly because Ohtani isn't pitching and he's having a very good season....but man he's an unlikeable deutsche bank and I hope he craters into a prolonged slump in September.
  12. That was a terrible throw home decision by Happ on that play, too. BA had to reference his gold glove though...never mind he let ortiz into scoring position the play before
  13. I get he's a reliever....but pitchers play defense, too. What a boneheaded throw -hope he isnt injured after that liner though The Cubs play great defense - but honestly metrics overrate just how good they are. They get to play half their games in a park that caters to inflating those metrics, too.
  14. Dangit...crazy good jump by Howrner to even have a chance
  15. I dont know why we dont see more challenge fastballs on nights like tonight The humidity is definitely a problem tonight
  16. Where was hoerner? That was a tailor made DP grounder. Funky infield positioning but ill take it
