    You just knew the Dodgers were going to blow it open after the Reds squandered their chance to do the same. A team full of guys who have been in these spots routinely in the playoffs makes a huge difference.

    I actually think with the challenge system being implemented that they should get rid of the televised box, too. I would think eliminating it on the broadcast/feed would get rid of any sort of quick relay opportunities from the dugout on close ball strike calls. Show it on the jumbotron during reviews and thats it.

    Probably because after a flight west before tomorrow's game, Miller probably wouldn't have been available regardless. Gotta win today to play tomorrow - getting 2 innings from Miller today preserves other arms tomorrow, too. Both teams doing a great job of stressing their pens only 2 games in, though. edit - derp....guess I forgot the rules and didn't realize tomorrow was also in Wrigley, right?
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    The addition of Sasaki to their pen is very notable, and Treinen is rounding back into form - i think their Pen/walks is the obvious weakness, but its a tough thing to get to with a lead or an even ballgame consistently if they are hitting...when they can string together Snell, Yamamoto, and Ohtani in a playoff rotation with an offense that is going to be very difficult to shut down, they are going to be tough to beat.
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    Absolutely - and how the Packers mismanaged the clock and playcalling decisions at the end of the 1st half set the stage for them to ever get to OT, where they managed to botch the game clock at the end of that period and likely cost them a win then, too. The people that are ticked at MLF dont think the Packers are terrible - they know they could be much better if their coach improved at managing game situations.
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    If their offense is clicking, the back end bullpen guys arent going to be a concern at all for them.
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Very glad knowing the Dodgers will be facing the Phillies in a best of 5 opposite the Brewers.
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    Despite MLB's best record, I'd honestly consider the Brewers to be an underdog against just about any NL opponent in a best of 5 or 7 this postseason, the exception being the Reds. I think I'd prefer the Padres simply because I think they're going to struggle to score runs consistently - whereas the Cubs can put up a few crooked number innings against starting pitching that isn't dominant. To me the Brewers' playoff rotation isn't as strong on paper as other teams (exception being the Cubs) without Woodruff, and wouldn't expect any of them to morph into Skubal - so I'd rather face a team that will struggle to score more than 3 runs a game against any pitching in a best of 5.

    Huge 2-1 called strike there on Tatis that was ball 3.
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    The question becomes whether or not CC has enough horses to keep the Pads off the board the last 6 outs...Pads had plenty of chances to put a crooked number up early against Boyd and came up empty.
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    This is the only thing I can root for watching these two teams play each other
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    To be fair, you could pretty much place 4 baseballs just about anywhere on that graphic and PCA would probably swing and miss at 3 of them
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Its not easy, but its not supposed to be for a coordinator/nfl head coach. That's why they are paid millions of dollars to run a game. Of the few dozen who are responsible for that to happen, mlf is probably among the worst at handling those scenarios - at least among teams perenially expected to contend. The Bears scored at will on the Cowboys the week prior, too. Scoring points against Dallas is not all that difficult
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    Exactly....once they got the ball down 3 in overtime with how that game was going, they should have tried to score a TD as quickly and aggressively as possible, because doing so both wins the game and removes the defense and special teams getting another chance to lose it. Instead mlf opted to use the clock against and neuter their own offense based on the worry of what those units wouldnt be able to do the next time they took the field. Its just a losing strategy in that spot.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    We almost forgot to factor in the Cubs owning the tiebreaker against the Brewers...that means the Brewers play tomorrow instead, right?
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    They still played alot of man coverage, but Hobbs/Valentine got exposed without a pass rush. Pickens had a huge game. I also despise that officiating crew - the missed intentional grounding late in that game, a missed obvious holding call at the point of attack on a big cowboy run, no PI on that 3rd down play where Wicks got mugged/face guarded. Then taking 10 minutes to get every penalty announced. End of the day, September football games mean zilch in January - but still frustrating watching this team make the same mistakes year after year...amd one noteable constant is the head coach
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    I think its a product of all the kickers making 60 yarders with them being able to break the kicking balls in, and special teams coordinators putting mlre emphasis on designing field goal blocks to try and limit that play. All these long kicks are more susceptible to getting blocked based on a lower trajectory, too.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Yes - but that is playing not to lose. That's how they lost the Cleveland game late, too, leaning on a bad special teams unit. Playing to win and being way more efficient with preserving game clock, especially after Dallas was out of timeouts, could've easily been done, and they could've still run the clock down and taken a timeout to kick a tying field goal if was apparent a TD wasnt going to happen
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    I agree, and knowing a TD doesnt bring that into any sort of concern has me thinking MLF didnt fully know the rules
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    I think the defense has to be blamed, too...but the 2nd quarter sequence that began with the blocked PAT and continued through the end of the 1st half is what got Dallas rolling in the first place- this game was headed for a blowout, then blocked kick to put Dallas on the board followed by a pair of timid drives, strip sack of Love in a spot many of us called for GB to just run the clock out and get into halftime with a lead....the overall management of the game sucked, and that starts and ends with MLF
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    From the two minute warning the Packers were well within Cowboy territory, and picked up 15 yards on a pass to wicks, then let 40 seconds drain off the clock before their next snap. Another short completion to Doubs, clock still running...then a run by Wilson to the 12 with around 50 seconds left on the clock...runs down to about 30 seconds before the next play, which was that disastrous screen to Golden that was just begging for a blow up fumble. That forced them to take their last timeout. To then throw back into that same flat on second down is criminal, although that isnt all of MLF, as I dont think it was the primary read for whatever play that was called. So some of that is on Love. Then kind of muddle huddling for 15 seconds almost lost them the game and definitely cost them a chance to win it considering the wasted 2 or so minutes of clock time that happened earlier in the drive. Inside the 15 yard line in that spot, you should be looking for routes into the end zone, but could still work underneath before using your last timeout. Instead, and the play you call is a bubble/swing screen that loses yardage, loses a down, and loses your last timeout. Inexcusable.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Im pretty sure the offense was also on ventilators in that spot, too. OT often looks liie this, when everyone on the field is gassed. At least it was good to not see a catastrophic turnover or bad holding penalty result in a loss. Tying the cowboys is next to no consolation, though. The playcalls absolutely made it worse, though - bubble and swing screens had lineman running a ton, plus those plays resulting in minimal gains or even lost yards kept the clock rolling.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    I wasnt disagreeing - something tells me the Packers use the extra time a bye week provides for way more than game planning against/focusing on their next opponent, and it shows on the field.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    Well, yep...as evidenced by the last two sundays
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Has to be really easy to lose focus on important aspects of the game as a head coach when you are also calling plays. That's absolutely an excuse, but probably has alot to do with what's going on with the late game chaos situations. Some guys just aren't cut out for that as a head coach. Knowing Biasaca helps with game management items just solidifies my belief he should be canned, too.
