Blah blah blah preseason yes I know but Turner still looks absolutely burnt steak well past well done.

Stupid water main. There is a leak and it is a massive one like 5 gallons a minute leak so its like I'm running the washer all day long. Plumber couldn't find it outside today but they don't believe it is under the house and think it maybe under the drive way. I had to replace my AC unit in May and that was $20,000. Hopefully this won't be another $10-20k.

Greatest SS/1B in Brewers history!!!

The Badgers have so much depth at LB that 3 and 4 star recruits haven’t even seen the field yet. That is crazy I don’t think a Badgers team has ever had this problem at any position other than at RB for a year or two.

Ovechkin to retire after this season. I still can’t believe I got to see the two greatest goal scorers to play hockey. At one point it seemed like Gretzky’s record would never be broken.

To me the Gary Sanchez at bat was the one that won it and was the most critical. There were some pitches in that at bat that Gary normally swings at especially the second pitch and pitch five. Vaughn also got a pitch to hit and it went off the end of the bat. If Vaughn times that up a bit better that probably ties the game and maybe wins it. Chourio's at bat was also really good. After swinging at the first fastball he didn't chase on the second pitch. Then he times up pitch 4 and fouls it off and then he lays off the slider which I think he was going to take anyway even if it was a strike. Chourio looked like he was looking for the fastball and that is all he was looking for in that situation. I think if Miller is able to get a slider over Chourio probably K's looking.

Indiana doesn't look all that good. To be honest beyond Ohio State and Oregon the B10 looks very punch less. Indiana hasn't played anyone yet and one of their two B10 games looked bad and one great. They played poorly against Northwestern and steam rolled Rutgers. I think Nebraska upsets them on Saturday looking ahead to the Ohio State game and then get steam rolled by Ohio State. I just don't see Indiana as being that good of a team this year. Last year was special for them but this year they are just not as good. After Ohio State there next "tough game" is against USC at home in November. They probably finish second in the B10 and get a revenge matchup against Ohio State but I think they miss the playoffs this year with two losses in the regular season and then one loss in the championship game. The Badgers I think they finish in the middle of the pack with Iowa, USC and UCLA just above them. Win one of the three against USC, UCLA and Iowa and that should give them 6 wins in the B10. Going 6-3 or 5-4 is probably the more realistic finish which should put them in the middle of the pack of the B10. Michigan, Penn State, Washington, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State and Rutgers are all currently 0-2 in the B10. Maryland, Michigan State and Rutgers look like they are a one or two win max teams in the B10. Defensively I think the Badgers can shut down Rutgers, Maryland and Purdue. I think they will also be competitive against UCLA, USC and Iowa. The problem is the QB and how well Joseph will play against the those three teams and Minnesota. If Joseph can keep the turnovers down the Badgers should compete in those 4 games. They could get to 7 or 8 wins if Joseph limits the turnovers. I think the realistic record is 5-4 which puts them in the same category as Michigan and USC. USC has a tough schedule with Ohio State, Indiana and UCLA left on the schedule. Only easy win is against Maryland and maybe against Penn State. 4 wins would put USC at 6-3 that is assuming they beat Wisconsin, Penn State, Maryland and UCLA and lose against Ohio State and Indiana. They could lose at least one or two of those 4 which would put them at 5 or 4 wins. Here is a crazy thing. If the Badgers win out and miss or lose the championship game they would have about a 90% chance of making the playoffs. I don't think this could happen and I don't think they can or will win out as Joseph is not that kind of a QB you want to depend on and the Badgers will need to depend on him for at least the next three games and possibly the Minnesota game. That is just way too much on a QB like Joseph.

I wonder if the Padres manager is going to get questioned like the Phillies manager.

Bauers had an easy to hit slider down the middle of the plate and watched it. Miller put it on a tee and you don’t swing. Come on man!

Ashby looked shaky to start the inning. Way too much of the plate with his pitches. He dialed it in after the Bogaerts AB.

Frelick watches the first pitch he could hit and then swings at a pitch he can roll over and ground out again. Why is Frelick on the team again?

Henderson is absolutely sucking today with his command. So many non competitive pitches.

At least the check swings will be automated next year.

Majority of the people at the game are old and would have blown out their knees or hamstrings if they attempted to jump.
