I don't know why this is even controversial. We clearly got May, a career "eh" pitcher, to give us a few quality starts down the stretch and let our more valuable arms catch their breath. Likely thought we could lab him to some improvements too. Potential upside was squeezing him into a playoff rotation if things went well. But the guy has been completely useless, as has Romero. It was a very bad trade. If May were throwing 4 2/3 starts with 2 runs it would be not good, but passable. But he hasn't been close to that lately. -
This program is dead in the water until there's massive reform in college football. There's a lot of bickering about Fickell but I really don't think anyone would have UW cruising in this environment. They were not financially positioned to compete and it shows. The truth is they've been in a decline since Bielema left. They got by for a little bit on old recruiting/image from years of winning but once there were a few hiccups things really went South, and the in-state talent pool seems to have fallen off a cliff.

Lmao. That was SO soft. I'm not even a Badgers fan, this is ATROCIOUS.
-
Said it before and will say it again: When replay review is wrong this often, there's no point to having replay review.
-
He doesn't have possession imo
-
No excusing the trades. They've been worse than I think even their critics thought they'd be.
-
Harrison needs to be shut down, given one spot start against St. Louis at the end of the month and if he still looks off, left off the playoff roster. He looks cooked.
-
Kyle Harrison giving me Shaun Marcum vibes.
-
They could have won every game 12-0 and it wouldn't mean dick as far as what happens in a playoff series.
-
Just relieved Henderson didn't look terrible.
-
I don't think too much about PCA. Think he looks like someone you'd see in an episode of Full House, the 'bad boy' who smokes cigarettes circa that time period. But that's about it.

NL Central Discussion 2026
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Never cared that Craig left. Funny watching us own him, but I didn't care. The only thing I thought was cringe was him pretending he did it for the Managers of Baseball Labor Union and not just because he simply likes having a lot of money, lol. -
Lol. The Cubs need a 16-6 finish to overtake us if we go 6-16. The Brewers are playing for a bye. The Cubs are playing to be the 4th seed and honestly, to keep San Diego at bay at this point.
-
I don't view the Braves or Phillies as really any kind of significant step down from the Dodgers. The Cubs, I do, because of that pitching staff. But if you're a Dodgers hater, it'll definitely be a bit tougher for them this year if things hold - they'd get Arizona, whom they are 6-7 against this year and is just more of a legit playoff team than Cincinnati was...then they'd get the Braves in the NLDS. Brewers likely drawing Philadelphia on the other side. I'd want the Cubs again. The pitching is a giant achilles, the likes of which none of the serious teams have.

It wasn't simply "not as good." It was catastrophically worse. That continues to be glossed over by many, as I noted earlier, like some kind of phenomenon adjusting to the acceptance that he's hurt. "15" is closer to what they were with Parsons. Probably right about 10th or so. After the ACL injury, the Packers finished the regular season 0-4, allowed an NFL-worst 170.8 rushing yards/game, and recorded only 3 sacks, the fewest in the NFL over that span. Post-Parsons: NFL-worst rushing defense, NFL-worst sack production, roughly bottom-of-the-league yardage performance, followed by 31 points allowed in the playoff loss. Yes, they lost some other guys too. But it shouldn't be a hot take that when you mortgage two firsts and pay a gajillion dollars to a superstar, your team is a LOT worse when he can't play. Just on the eye test alone, they were alarmingly worse the second he was out. The one major thing the defense has going for it, is that it would be hard to be as bad as they were forcing turnovers for 2 years in a row. Just by sheer odds, they should do that more often this season.
-
Except no, they were one of the worst, if not the worst. 405.5 yards/game 32nd by a lot. 27.5 points/game roughly 28th. This generously leaves out Denver, in which the Broncos score 2 touchdowns immediately after his exit and blow the game open.
-
If you're referring to 2024, yes. If you're referring to last year, they were terrible. I think people really need to stop reaching back 2 seasons as evidence that the team is good because it's mostly the same guys. 2 years is 2 decades in the NFL. We have turnover like every team does and an entirely new coordinator. The path forward I see for this season is Love playing like an MVP candidate, carrying the team until Parsons gets back, and hoping their division is within reach when he's going full gear. It's not that unrealistic, but I don't think it's going to unfold that way. I think they're just worse than people think.
-
Just remember the Cubs will have to go to that pen again.
-
Their fans groomed them for this by erupting for pop ups.
-
Their minimum is more wins than they've had 3 of the last 4 years? I think you can easily argue an 11-6 season. But that's the minimum?
-
I hope I come back to this post and laugh. But I can't shake the vibe that the wheels are about to fall off. We paid a lot of money for Micah Parsons to spend big chunks of 2 seasons not playing football. We have some talent on this roster for sure, but the lack of depth, the issue with Jacobs, the reliance on multiple cogs coming back from major injuries, lack of playmakers defensively, a coach who I think is a great coordinator and Xs and Os prep guy, but lacks the mettle to be a HC... Jordan Love going bonkers could mask a lot of that. I think it's realistic to believe this could be a contending team. But like I said, my gut feeling just isn't there. 7-10. Injuries and Jacobs get used as an excuse to save our two heroes from unemployment, again.

This is the worst market I've seen. Entered the workforce in 2009 and it was very bad then, it took me about a year to find a professional job. I am fortunately still employed in tech, but my apps go 99% nowhere, interviews that I crush end up with a ghosting...it's been about a year of this. I've never seen it this bad. Guys with 6 certifications sitting there with nothing or jobs that were entry level pay 5 years ago.
-
I consider the division won. I would obviously like to be #1, but #2 is fine, and I'd like to see us get the elusive 100.
-
It's over. It was over before the series began. At this point, if this result holds, a 9-14 finish requires the Cubs to go 18-5. It's over. We like to be hysterical around here but we were in historic meltdown territory already. It's one thing to be 8 back when the team in first is middling. But to be 8 behind the best record in the league is divine intervention stuff.
-
The division race is over.
