Show me results.

If you can tie the game potentially with one possession, it's a one possession game. Aaron Rodgers looks cooked. The Jets experiment is a predictable disaster.
-
Yeah. That's really been working out great for them. Swap out Williams for Hader and the same thing happened 5 years ago without any progress since.
-
The odds of putting Josh Hader and Devin Williams on the mound to get a save in elimination game and going 0/2 can't be that great. I don't think anyone here needs it explained that postseason success isn't guaranteed. I just think we've crossed over into a zone where people are in straight up denial that this is "just baseball" and not acknowledging that our local teams have really, truly been losing in painful ways and more often than what is normal.
-
Point of me saying there isn't a schedule is that "the future looks bright" very often doesn't equate to brightness. Packers won a Super Bowl and I was told the core was so young they'd be back multiple times. I was told the Brewers were ahead of pace in 2018. Had the Packers lost the 2010 Divisional, we'd have had people saying how bright the future was because Rodgers was so young. Reality is much harsher.
-
There is no schedule. Said the same thing when the Packers choked away that divisional last year. The stage was set for a run. They had to beat the Lions. They had the game nearly in hand. The cope afterwards was "Love's first season, growth, exciting, rah-rah" etc. How good they'd be this year. And now look at them. Injured, in last place. Sure there is time to turn it on, but you just don't know. It's not just a linear ascension because you are "young." Every year you win 90+ is a opportunity and now it's a blown opportunity. They appear to be well-run and have some nice players. Sure. But it is an agonizing sport and you can't accept losses like last night because "the future is bright." Williams had to do the same thing he's done all year and he didn't do it.
-
Clearing the bases in the 7th to go up 4-0 would have been huge. But nobody comes close to what Williams did. He deserves what he is getting. -
Yelich will be 33 coming off back surgery. Woodruff not much better. I think anything we get out of those guys is a bonus. I am not holding my breath. More excited about the continued development of the younger players. The most surprising thing would be either of those 2 finishing the season.
-
I agree that Williams has never given me that lockdown feeling. He's always been more of a Turnbow experience for me, even just mentally. He has certainly been a better player, but that's always been my gut when he's out there. I think he needs to go though. I'm sure he'll be successful elsewhere, but he's Brandon Bostick at this point. Too much association with pain to have him walking around.
-
I understand the sadness of the Uecker thing, I really do, but I wish there was some perspective, lol. The guy has made a fantastic living doing nothing but hanging out in the sport he loves, in the town he grew up in, and has never had to get a "real" job. I of course wish he could see them win, but I feel a lot worse for the random Briggs and Stratton employee who's been following this group for 40 years.
-
OK? And cars crash when they are driven by people. Usually it's still somebody's fault.
-
All that stuff is just much more abstract than Williams simply getting 3 guys out. I'm pretty surprised at how soft people are being with Williams. Hell, he could have given up a run or even 2, and he didn't even do that.
-
It's on Williams. When you make your living as "one of the best" closers, come into the biggest game of the year and immediately put guys on then give up the game losing bomb, the loss is on you. This is a rare instance where it is very easy to pin this on one guy.
-
One of the reasons I hate the new format. Smaller markets now have a "chance" except no, they don't. They have an artificial chance like an 8 seed in the NBA. It was better before. If you had a good season and broke through, winning a 5 game series put you in the NLCS. This team would have had to go through 3 huge market juggernauts just to play in a WS. It has torpedoed my interest in the sport. One of the reasons I'm not too upset is that I never got really invested this year. After 2019 I lost a lot of passion for this team and league. It just doesn't feel like you have a real chance.
-
Yeah I already think the few posts here are overdoing it. He's a reliever with a reputation for being kind of a knucklehead. To be honest I'd expect that we get a prospect pitcher and a position player that most people really aren't high on, but they pan out better than anyone thinks. Seems to be how this goes. Initial disappointment that grows on everyone.
-
Probably like 2 ok prospects. I wouldn't be expecting anything really sexy.
-
There's so many possibilities as to who will come in and blow the save in an elimination game I really can't decide who it would be.
-
He needs to go. His legacy is this game and screwing them over royally by punching a wall. That stain has to go. Guy has always seemed like a bit of a dope. Get what you can for him now. I realize that he was going to close this game no matter what and any manager would have had him in there, but personally I despise these baseballisms. Just let Peralta finish the game. Have Williams warm if he puts a runner on base.
-
Williams isn't a great player. Between the wall punching and big stage choke I am totally ok with sending him out to sea. Million dollar arm, 10 cent head.
-
Brewers won't put a guy on.
-
Repeat the obvious again. I'm saying it's stupid. The game is likely over already if you just run the same guy out again. And spare me the "best." The best don't pull this crap. He's an absolute choke artist. I understand what the closer does and it's the call every manager makes. I've always thought it was stupid. Peralta would have been just fine.
-
Winker to dance on the grave. I truly hate the incompetence of this organization.
-
Well obviously. But it's stupid and just a random baseball thing. Just stick with the guy who got the outs and can easily go another inning.
-
Not bringing those 2 guys in in the 7th was ouch. Would have pesonally left Peralta in until he put someone on base. That said, equal parts inexcusable choke and expected Wisconsin moment.
-
Hated the Mears choice but he performed. Score a run and bring Devin out in the 8th.
