    Is it a crazy idea that he is passively trying to throw LAD into a Wild Card spot?
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    That offense owns October and we won't have one. I think there is still a school of thought that you can Moneyball your way through a regular season due to the quantity of games and all the random stuff teams have to do just to get through a season. You can win games on the margin if you are stealing a run here or there against somebody's Sunday lineup, their backup catcher, spot starter, etc. When the best teams are left and they can throw all the artillery at 10 games, it is almost not even the same sport. That is where your 6 guys making $20+ million shine through. If we have the Mendoza All Stars going in a week, we're done.

    I think this should help tell which version of the Packers is closer to reality, the one that got hyped to storm through the NFC, or an overrated team that is not all that different from what it's been the last few seasons. The Lions game kinda looks like aberration after seeing Detroit the last couple weeks. It counts all the same as a divisional game the Packers earned, but I am not convinced we're really that superior to them yet.

    Again, I ask: How is anyone supposed to know what fan is buying the ticket? You have yet to answer this question. So I can re-sell my tickets, but only to people in my inner circle that identify as Brewers fans? And when those people say no? Or are only willing to pay half of face value? What then? I just eat the loss so that a "true fan" can go? 🤣 If they don't want people like me selling, that is not a very big problem as I don't possess any of the tickets. However, you'd be wrong, as they constantly beg me to re-up and spend thousands again. I think that's what they care about most.

    Uh, the 1 seed was met with a lot of indifference. If you think there wasn't panic about the division, you weren't here much. "Hedged my bet"? What are you even babbling about? I'd put a grand on the Brewers being the 1 seed. Edit: NVM I get it. You were one of the guys freaking out about the end of the world so you're just salty about being wrong. Got it.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    That pretty much locks down the 1 seed. An awful lot of panic over both the division and the 1 and neither really ever came that close to slipping away. If we do end up playing Philly I am very glad we get to open at home.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    If we weren't limping into the playoffs there would still be a week off between the season and playoffs. Whatever we're doing in game 162 is very unlikely to have anything to do with the playoffs. If we were red hot and suddenly not, we'd have people blaming the bye. I can't imagine how tired the players are at this point of the year. A few consecutive days off sounds heavenly. Line up with a rested group and hopefully play your best baseball. But I am not really worried about what we're seeing right now.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think cherry picking the opponent is a total waste of energy. Philly and LA are juggernauts if they want to be. Chicago is high emotional stakes, but imagine the joy of winning. I don't get wanting to avoid that. You're the best or you aren't. Bring it on.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah, I think this exists more in your head than anywhere else. I am sure they're literally smiling less, because you don't tend to smile after losing. I think you're drawing correlation without causation here. I'm not buying that the 1-seeded Brewers are sauntering around the clubhouse because their patchwork teams have lost some games. If they were that weak they wouldn't have bounced back from where they were at the end of April.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah. They need to win a series. That's my floor. It'll be disappointing to lose in the NLCS again, but everybody but one ends the year disappointed. I believe that if we keep doing this, we'll break through eventually. I think the stars are somewhat aligned for us this year as well as they're ever going to be, but baseball is a brutal game.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Not as unpopular as you think. You're living in the country with the highest percentage of teetotalers in its adult population, and it's growing among young people.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Why do you keep saying this? The playoff strip can potentially encompass 11 home games in like a month. There are a million reasons somebody wouldn't be able to go to all of those games that have nothing to do with affordability. That's a 4-6 hour round trip for some of us. You're talking about a professional baseball game, not clean drinking water. You're not entitled to go for cheap because you're a "big fan." 😂 These games also don't have the resale power you seen to think they do. There's barely been interest in the NLDS the last couple times we played in it.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    You understand that any fan can go in tomorrow and buy tickets, right? What I anticipate happening is that Cubs fans will buy as many as they can. If the Cubs don't advance, they'll dump them. It's a silly post. The secondary market has existed on the Internet for 20 years. Every stadium has opposing fans in it. It's not that deep. If I got to a game and sat next to a Phillies fan I'd probably say hello and talk about the times I've spent in Philadelphia. If there are visiting fans there, not enough Brewers fans wanted to be there. Pretty simple.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Except that I never actually mentioned you. I don't think it's realistic at all to expect any SSH to attend every home playoff game if the Brewers played through to a World Series. And I didn't say anything about not being able to afford it, either. It's not that complicated. If you want your SSH seat for a World Series game, you are pretty much forced to buy the strip. You can't chance the presales. I don't think the Brewers expect you're going to all those games yourself. I don't even live within an hour of the stadium. Point is that you're taking something filled with nuance and making it black and white when it isn't. There's a reason the Brewers don't penalize selling the strip games. It's a completely different thing to participate in a presale and sell your tickets. A strip you committed $4-5k to is yours to do what you want. I can very easily turn this around on you and tell anyone crying about it to pony up for a 20 pk if it bothers them so much. But they won't do that, will they? You get on this high horse every October. How is someone supposed to know what fans they sold to? There is no checked box on StubHub requiring someone to be a Brewers fan. You list the tickets and they sell. Sounds like a Brewers fan problem if someone from Philadelphia is willing to fly out here, get a hotel and go to a game. Brewers fans can buy the same ticket and spend a lot less.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yes and no. They block out some parts of sections to allow the general public to get a chance to a game or two, so that people who already had the chance to buy tickets can't just buy them all up.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    Silly post. I dropped my SS a couple years ago due to too many commitments and not being able to get there enough, but how exactly do you plan to dictate who buys the tickets? Selling them is actually not that easy to do, especially in the early rounds. The games will get plopped in midday with lukewarm interest. The easiest thing to do is just throw them on any of the resale sites. The last few years, they would sell below face value because the SSH get fleeced on the face value. When I offered them to coworkers at face, nobody bought them. The strip is NOT cheap, especially if you are anywhere other than the terrace level. When I had a pair of club seats, (20pk) I was like $8k deep after I bought the postseason strip + my regular season tickets. The idea that some guy who went to a game or two is going to tell me who to sell them to and how, LOL, please. I'll sell it to Tony La Russa if I want to. All that said, if you re-sell anything you got at a presale, expect to be locked out of the following rounds. They enforce that very strictly, which is more than fair. Selling your strip? That's your own business.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I get it. Baseball is a long and brutal season and winning the division is a major accomplishment. But it is still weird to me sliding around on champagne after losing and dropping 2/3 to St. Louis. They shouldn't let a random loss stop them from celebrating, but it is a little weird. I don't feel great about this team right now but trying to remember this isn't really the team that's going to be playing in a couple weeks. The #1 is all but wrapped, we should be resting guys as much as we can.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    The result of that pick was catastrophic but honestly I didn't think it was THAT bad. It wasn't like he forced a ball into coverage. There was definitely a miscommunication where he didn't expect the receiver to continue to break down field. Sloppy, bad, awful playcall, but eh. We still had to have a FG blocked to lose the game. Packers needed a humbling but I am more inclined to just forget this week ever happened than read a ton into it. I do think they exposed the OL and teams will continue to do so.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm not so convinced this is the case, they got exposed offensively. The Packers were a playoff team last year that most people believe were good but not great. They played a Lions team that looked awfully flat, like the Packers often have in Week 1 with MLF. Then Washington comes in and again, the Packers are in control but let them hang around way more than they should have been able to. Today they choke let's be honest, that interior OL got its ass handed to it. Parsons was a big blockbuster right before the season began. It got the hype train going way too fast. Not saying the Packers can't win something this year, but what is more likely? The Packers are an unstoppable juggernaut, or they're a good team that added a top 5 pass rusher and are still going to have problems? We had people claiming the NFC was between only 2 teams. I think it's time to pump the brakes and realize it's going to be the same fight it always is. They aren't good enough for it to be that easy.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    I turned it off. Something happen?
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I mean no it doesn't. Two wins against likely NFC playoff field that you will be jockeying with for seeds, one in your division. As embarrassing as this was, it's the ideal game to blow if you're going to blow one. It was in the bag though. Just a completely pathetic finish. Was there a Packer fan on earth who didn't see that FG getting blocked?
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    We deserve every bit of this. We can stop the undefeated silliness and enjoy a nice slice of humility this week. Very well deserved.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Missing the FG is a fitting 💩 sandwich that would fit how this game has gone.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm sorry but there is no way you can award possession to Cleveland on that.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah but they can't score. They have one touchdown on a 5 yard drive. I'd take my shot at the 2, and give the game to my defense. And they suck, so just go for the jackpot.
