    I think the Cubs are getting bounced in the wild card so I am not thinking about losing to them. I want the 1 overall seed. I want to start every series at home. And I want to win the pennant and title in Milwaukee.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    You're crazy. I want us at home as often as possible. The players do too. Your own bed, your own facility, your own routines. I couldn't care less who the opponent is if we are trying to win the whole thing.

    I get the rule with < 2 outs as you can't assume Johnny Estrada is coming home. With 2 outs, that runner should not be stopped at 3rd.

    HUGE hit. Philly is getting a little closer than I would like. Got to hold them off another week or so.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    I've said this before and I'll say it again: A GRD should score the runner from first with 2 outs. It really doesn't make sense that it doesn't.

    Packers signed Christian Watson to 1 yr extension through 2026. Almost seems weird but I kind of get it. From the sound of things he is definitely going to play this year, and earlier than thought. If he looks good at all he would be as good as gone. This offense could be crazy good if he's a legitimate option.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm not a believer in the Commanders. Packers take it somewhat comfortably.

    I think the Lions are cooked. Not trying to read too much into Week 1, but your window doesn't stay open that long. You lose both coordinators, and your QB is not what I would call a great, but kind of just a guy that benefitted a lot from a system that's now not the same. Still likely a playoff team, but I think they're in regression mode now. They had a legit title team for 2 years, choked once and got injured the next year. I have my eyes on tonight's game. I have the Bears as a sleeper team, but the Vikings are a very well-run org now and if McCarthy is legit they will be a powerhouse. Their season really hinges on him IMO.

    Tough to top that as an opener. Interior run blocking didn't do too much but we have time.

    Les Miz.

    Since the last victory of their season-long 5-game winning streak in July, the Cubs are 22-22.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Ah I remember being 6 up like 2 weeks ago and saying I'd be concerned if the lead shrank to 3 games. Someone said the lead would be 2 by that weekend. Good times. So much constant stressing about the Cubs schedule and they never got within 5 in that timeframe, and continue to drop random games to bottom feeders.

    I'm calling the division. That's a wrap!

    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.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.

    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.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    Must take Harper 30 minutes to put all that crap on before batting.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    The team with the best record doesn't, I guess.
