Well gramps just take a nap during the day so you are all rested!

Last I checked 7 is less than 14. He had a higher launch angle on a ball up in the zone. This was middle far away. Again this was a bad pitch to swing at. A 7 degree launch angle that went nearly right at the SS is never a good outcome no matter what the exit velocity is. If he would have gotten the 14 degree launch angle again it is a hit. But Yelich can’t do that on balls on the outside of the plate anymore. Horrible horrible decision to swing at that pitch.

Did he lift the ball yes or no? The not lifting the ball was key there please reread what I wrote.

It was a bad pitch location to swing at there. He can’t lift the ball away from him anymore. Just an absolutely awful decision to swing at that pitch.

Horrible horrible horrible first pitch to swing at. You have to lift that and Yelich just can’t lift balls away from him.

Of course Yelich grounds into a DP.

There’s the useless Frelick.

You have to pick that. Vaughn isn’t any better at 1B defensively.

The Ortiz AB was fine Frelick’s ab was bad that inning.

They were not going to steal with a lefty on the mound. Yelich also didn’t look comfortable reading the pitcher. Would have been an easy caught stealing. Not worth the risk.

That wasn’t a bad pitch by Romero that is normally a ground out to a LH batter. Just a bit of luck on that one for the Padres. It also wasn’t hit all that hard. That hit carried for whatever reason. The Machado hit was hit better but didn’t even go as far.

The LF caught the ball that’s how. His momentum was taking him to 1B side and had to delay his throw by a second. If the CF catches that Pratt is out by a mile.

That was a bad bunt. Lucky on that one.

I just can’t put Yelich and Braun up there. Their careers are not long enough and career wise they are very pedestrian. Things like this should be reserved for players like Ruth and Aaron or HoF worthy players. Right now that is just Molitor and Yount for the Brewers. Braun and Yelich are not HoF players so shouldn’t be on a Mount Rushmore.

Yeah it’s weird they haven’t found the leak and the utility company said the meter is working correctly no issue on their end. A $400 water bill was a bit of a surprise. They are still looking today. They still think it is under the driveway.

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!
