He was well shy of that ball. Not the best time to try that slide. -
Freddy not being an ace, which I probably said at some point this year, is largely said because of people like me who grew up watching CGs, and saw 7 or 8 IPs regularly. By today's standard, he has definitely been an ace.

Murphy is spot-on with Yelich's back and you can tell which posters just don't have any experience with that sort of thing. I had the exact procedure that Yelich had. "Rest" doesn't help you, it doesn't have anything to do with it. Once you've had that injury, your spine will never be what it was. You can have surgery and do yoga and strengthen all those core muscles, which he has clearly done to be as effective as he is, but all it takes is one slip, one goofy step off a staircase, sitting in a stool just precisely the wrong way, and you're flared up and have to start over. The worst part is that "rest" as people know it just makes everything worse. Once you're hurt, you have to strike a perfect balance between activity and rest. You need to be active enough to keep things loose there, but not so much you make the strain worse. And you have to keep that game going until things feel good again, which can be days or weeks. Back stuff is completely unpredictable. But giving him a random day off when he feels healthy isn't going to help him and mixing in a random day off isn't anywhere close to the time it takes for a nerve to reheal or for a partial reherniation to subside.

Devin Williams was like the worst good pitcher we ever had. I thought his meltdown was just so predictable. He is just not a mentally strong guy.

2011 hurt because I thought we had the best team and mismanagement doomed us. 2018 was heartbreaking especially after Yelich began Game 7 with a solo shot, but in the back of my head the whole postseason was that Boston was unbeatable. That may have been the best team ever. My expectations are low. The season has felt too 'easy' with a nice a gap most of the post-ASG time. Winning a series would make me feel ok about things. Losing in the NLDS would be quite the letdown, but it's a distinct possibility. It's just not that hard to lose baseball games. We could lose NLDS to the Rockies if we played them.

Game 1: Lions at Packers - Sunday, Sept 7 3:25 PM

Hobbs is going to be the "Why, Gutey?" move of the season. He plays aggressively on film but he is literally always hurt and then there's the whole asleep drunk at the wheel on an exit ramp thing...he doesn't seem like "Packer people." It seems like we could have just kept Stokes for less. At the end of last season I thought Carrington Valentine might be the best corner on the team. Hoping he continues to grow. -
The Cubs aren't catching the Brewers as has been the overwhelming probability for like a month. Are we going to do the "but their schedule!" thing again? They have lost 60 games.

I fear that CB is going to be a year-long headache. We can gymnastics our way around that with pass rush jabber but that group looks very bad especially with Hobbs injured, and a history of being injured. Like, Bo Melton is going to get significant time there. -
Must take Harper 30 minutes to put all that crap on before batting.
-
He's barely above Mendoza I don't think there's anything to figure out. He's a designated outfielder swinging a wet noodle. I don't personally believe that's worth a playoff roster spot.
-
Siegler is terrible. I hate talking about anyone on this team that way, but he should not be with the major league club right now. There has to be another guy who "hustles" somewhere.
-
The team with the best record doesn't, I guess.
-
I think I'd genuinely rather have Luis Urias. Perkins shouldn't ever play in October if Collins, Chourio and Frelick are healthy.
-
If Siegler and Perkins can both go away that'd be swell.

As someone who has had back surgery and epidural shots, I really can't comprehend being in the state that you need an epidural shot near your L5, yet you are playing in an NFL game. When I got those treatments I was barely able to walk and in constant pain. I'm sure this is apples to oranges in some way, but it's still mind-blowing to me. I see the game going either way but the overreactions in either direction will be intense. -
Hoskins is better than Vaughn. Vaughn could fall off a cliff completely and that was still an incredible acquisition, but it is quite clear looking at the portfolio that Hoskins is a better player. Happy to be wrong but Vaughn feels like Santana/Aguilar.
-
I'm dreading the night we don't win the World Series and I have to read all the posts about how the whole season was a "waste of time." Not that we don't have a chance, but the overwhelmingly likely outcome is we don't. I have to be brutally honest though, you play a team like Philadelphia and the bats in the lineup just feel like a different class. It doesn't feel like you ever get an easy out. It's weird being a Brewers fan and always being in it these last 7 or so years. What they have achieved even without winning anything has been beyond anything I envisioned for this team as a child.
-
He can go through the order once. It's very clear he can't get past that right now. He can start a game and throw a couple innings, which does matter, but he can't be stretched out for 5 innings anymore.
-
Weren't they 9.5 up? I don't know if it's mathematically possible to give that up going 9-10. I'd probably have guessed they were 4 up. The Cubs never ran away with their easy schedule.
-
Miz really isn't worthy of a spot on the roster right now. The ASG thing is super embarrassing at this point.
-
I don't disagree but if it ends up 1v2 I would strongly prefer to have the HFA. I don't think it's wins you the series or anything, but let's go ahead and stack the deck against whoever we're playing. Plus, more chances for me to be there when we win the pennant.
-
I'll say it again. The Cubs are not catching the Brewers. You're at over a 95% probability and the Brewers could play well under .500 and it would still require a Herculean streak from CHC. It's not gonna happen.
-
We did what we needed to do, took a road series against a great team, may have possibly prevented the Cubs from picking up anything as they played the Rockies. We get to go home for 3 with Philly now. Win another series and things soften up a lot on the schedule. Time is running out, it's a very tall order for the Cubs at this point. I don't think most realize how unlikely them taking it is. Holding on to #1 is a bigger worry for me.

Eh, I'm checking out. 2/3 is good. Nice weather won't be around much longer.

Misuse of the word benefactor is a pet peeve of mine. You're looking for beneficiary, Tim.
