Wouldn’t have mattered if it was from the shotgun or from the I that play was going nowhere. The offensive line decided to just ignore two players and gave them the gap.
I am not sure how much better Hoskins will be next year but it probably won't be all that much.
I think next year something like a slash line of .230/.330/.450 should be doable. Is that an improvement over this year? Yes but that is still a rather uninspiring primary DH numbers. Hoskins should be a DH only right now as his 1B defense is basically just a broom with a glove.
What really sucks about this game is that the Badgers have the CB's to play with Alabama and really with anyone. But the Badgers just don't have a defensive line that is going to make a QB throw a ball into coverage or even press the QB consistently let alone stop the run game. Even a coverage sack is hard for this group to come by.
I think the Badgers stay close in the 1st half and just run out of gas in the 2nd and get blown out in the 2nd half. Something like 14-6 in the first half only to lose 38-13 in the second half.
That show is garbage. Stopped watching after the third episode. There is nothing positive that came from that show. It is just absolutely horrible and deserves all of the hate that it gets.
Going back to the earlier 2000's Adam Dunn and Zach Duke were popular names. I believe there was even a Ryan Braun for Zach Duke proposal.
Puig was also a rumored target a few times and Joc Pederson.
In the wild card era has there ever been 8+ teams with 90+ wins? It is possible there could be 10 90 win teams this season with 3 being in the NL West.
