Patrick has been an unsung hero for the team. Seems to just produce every time. Nothing spectacular but very steady.

Because having bad opinions isn't a bannable offense.

Nice to see the sCrubs trotting out our former SPs on back-to-back nights.

Collins if anyone. Then you still have a decent bat.

But what do we know... 😉

This is probably why they have him pitching at home instead of in CHI

MVP! MVP!

And PCA ends up on his hiney after jumping at the fence... trying to catch a ball 20 feet over his head.

Cheerio Chourio!!!!

And Joey does something good!

Might be Chourio's leg...

How does Durbin not have an elbow pad with all the HBP he takes?

And totally forgot about Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder when thinking about playoff HRs...

I think he has inherited more runners than any RP we have on the team.

Suck it up and prioritize. Stop watching the game and pay attention to what is important. 😉

Boy, I guess Craig is kicking himself for not going with an opener... just under thought it I guess. 😂

Vaughn! for the tie

Right now when Love NEEDS a reception... he most often goes to Doubs. I have my Doubs doubts due to concussion, but he is still the best outside WR we have right now...

A few random thoughts on various topics through this thread: Yelich leading off. Probably the negative is that he actually has a lower OBP than Frelick or Turang. While he has more HRs than anyone... he doesn't have the overall OPS or SLG to make leading off a negative impact to his value (compared to Frelick/Turang moving down). However, I do think Murph is playing a bit of a phycological game. Put your experience bat at the top for the playoff experience... then put a bug in Ortiz's head that he is providing him "protection"... doesn't matter if it actually makes a long term difference if it gives Joey a mental "boost" for a few games. Chad Patrick - he certainly has earned his spot on the team. Right now, I'd start him over Miz. Hoskins - he wasn't part of the team that overtook the Cubs, he wasn't playing overly well, and is redundant on the roster right now... I'd leave him off.

If the Cubs lose to the Padres and the Brewers beat the Padres, our first-round playoff curse will be officially affixed to Counsell. 😉

He sounds more administrative than active recruiting.

Playoff reset! Magic Number at:

Getting past the first impressions are hard for people. Haas started the season great, but eventually faded...

I'm thinking that Badgers need to take the GM/HC approach to college football. The NFL has split "talent acquisition" from "team development" for a long time. And there have been several clear "that didn't work" moments when they tried combine the roles - Holmgren in Seattle, Sherman in GB. So why does college FB require that? Go hire someone to be the recruiter and another to be the head coach. Of course there are still roles for the HC in recruiting, but you have someone else (with a different skillset strength) dedicated to the recruiting and scouting processes. Frankly, I'd rehire Chryst if we had someone else doing the recruiting.
