    I think the best thing I’ve seen this week has been all the smiles in the dugout. Even Counsell!! THAT just didn’t happen a lot last season.

    I think the article for the games does a really good job of creating a recap for those that did not see the game. And I like the stats, graphs, and video tweets, so I don’t have to look for them myself. At the same time, I don’t know if I, personally, need a recap of the entire game, especially when I can just watch the 20-minute game recap on mlb.tv. But I do see the usefulness of this article.

    FAU totally changed their game in the second half. They were attacking and building to that 14-point lead. And then, suddenly, they slowed way down and began to play the ol’ “play not to lose” ploy. They deserved to lose. The last five (ten?!?!) minutes of game time l was just brutal to watch from both teams.

    I saw this yesterday on my twitter feed. While I deplore all things Cardinal, this way actually pretty neat. The guy is certainly one-of-a-kind. I applaud him for wanting to try things out before he retires.

    Funny, my wife and I both teach (two and four years to retiring from teaching!) and every year we go on an internet blackout on Opening Day until we get home and then watch the recorded pregame and game on the tv (from Arizona, mind you.). I can’t stand to know what’s going on on Opening Day lol!

    This is amazing, because every year I do the exact same thing--three brackets, the exact same way you did. Yep, my "upset special" bracket won the contest over 38 other brackets in our contest group.

    Sports Illustrated, like many print magazines, are basically extinct. What does exist is small articles that point you to go to their digital version, include their daily stuff in their website and, probably, Twitter. i, too, have subscribed since the early 90s and renewed my subscription about a month before they decided to make it a monthly. I had renewed for two years, and was at least happy that they are honoring my purchase for 104 issues, so my subscription doesn’t run out now until 2028 or something like that. Lol

    MVP: Christian Yelich CY Young: Brandon Woodruff Rookie of the Year: Garrett Mitchell BA Leader: Sal Frelick HR Leader: Rowdy Tellez ERA Leader: Corbin Burnes SO Leader: Corbin Burnes WAR Leader: Christian Yelich Breakout(s): Frelick, Weimer, Varland, Disappointment(s): Urias, Miley, Contreras (he’ll be fine, but we probably expected more) Bold Prediction (s): Brewers get an All Star starter (not necessarily voted in by the fans) Record: 91-71 Playoffs? Yes, NL Central Champs, beat themselves in NLCS as bats completely disappear

    When I saw the call, I instinctively objected to the whistle and wanted them to "let them play." Once I saw replay, I changed my tune and totally agreed with the call. Another good game, though. I'd like to see Texas lose next.

    Boy, I just went back and looked at the first couple of rounds of that draft. Ugly with a capital U. Wow. Next to no players that have amounted to anything.
  11. pitchleague
    That Michigan State - Kansas State game was like a heavyweight title fight. At MSG, coincidentally. Really, really great game. and a great result, too!
  12. pitchleague
    Paywall. I’ll have to get my cousin’s credentials again. Er, I mean, I’ll have to see if my mom can cut the article out of the paper and send it to me in the mail 🤪
  13. pitchleague
    Really good ballgame. Fun to watch. baseball is awesome!
  14. pitchleague
    And this is why I’m not watching.
  15. pitchleague
    I can’t believe Barstool Sports has been using a “Rage Room” (sponsored by Jack Links) to smash stuff up with a baseball bat on camera. I’m clearly getting too old to understand things anymore. (Of course, half the guys going in to smash stuff look just about my age or a little less.) Ugh. How old are we, really?
  16. pitchleague
    So . . . the only way to vote is on Twitter? I don't have a problem with that, per se, but it seems there should be a way to vote here on the site, too. Unless I missed it. Which is entirely conceivable.

    I think it would be really funny if Rodgers comes on McAfee's show to make an announcement, and either the Packers or Jets (or both) say, "Screw it" and announce the trade about 15 minutes before Rodger's makes his appearance.
  18. pitchleague
    I watched it last night while I was in bed. It was good. And it was really nice to see the Brewers produced something like this for our players. Gave me a bit of a prideful feeling. Hopefully, we won't come back to this in five years to laugh because all the players flopped or something. God, that'd be awful.

    Watching yesterday's Brewer game and a random assortment of other games on MLB Network this week, I have realized what the quicker pace of these games reminds me of. Before I state what it is, I do want to say that I do like the shorter games while hating it at the same time. I will like having extra time to do other stuff instead of sitting there watching a game on television. But I also had zero problem with long, slow games. It's BASEBALL and I Love baseball. Slow games equaled more time watching baseball, which to me was great! But I will appreciate some nights that are not so late (even though I live in Arizona and most games were done around 8:00 pm.) I also think that the quicker games are going to rob us of some stuff on the broadcasts. Stories, anecdotes, interviews . . . they're all going to be minimized because at bats and innings will be over so fast. That's kind of a bummer to me. I think there still will be stories, anecdotes, and interviews but they may be interrupted quite often for station breaks, etc. Okay, here goes. These faster games with the pitch clock remind me of playing baseball video games. If any of you are like me, whenever I would play RBI Baseball, MLB2k, or The Show (or whatever baseball game), I would usually just start chucking pitches in as fast as I could so I could get back up to bat. Pitch counts in video games were never even remotely close to accurate as a result. So, when I watch these spring training games, I almost imagine some giant people with controllers playing the game as fast they can. That's what it feels like, to me.

    @SeaBass I appreciate what you said about the show. I have been on the fence about starting the show because I have never played the game, since it was always a console-exclusive (I'm a PC gamer.) Now that the game comes out on PC this month, I have incentive to play the game and then watch the show. However, I am also a CHEAP PC gamer, meaning that I never, ever buy a game full price, always waiting for sales and almost exclusively waiting for those 75% off deals on steam or some other gaming site. So, it'll probably still be months/years before I play the game! 😆

    Hey, mister, I don't care if you own the site or just joined here. . . . we don't go much for the cussin' 'round here. Keep it clean.
  22. pitchleague
    I boldly pick that, for once, the Brewers will not surrender some scrub player's first home run of the season/career in July, August, or September (emphasis on scrub player, not a rookie) that just kills a ballgame for us. It seems the Brewers give these up a lot and cost them a game or two. (I'm pretty sure it happens to every team, but it'd be nice if it didn't happen to us, for once.)
  23. pitchleague
    I think this is a non-issue. Counsell seems pretty well settled it, he's from the area, been a fan since being a child . . . I just don't see him out-and-quitting here while our playoff window is still open. And I don't see it happening once that window shuts and a rebuild/retool starts. I could be way off, of course. My guess is he will manage the Brewers until he decides to call it quits or the Brewers finish with five consecutive 100-loss seasons and the team has no choice but to can him.
  24. pitchleague
    This would be even funnier if this was actually Brian Anderson (any one of them) posting this. Welcome to the site!

    Who wouldn’t watch a Weird Al halftime show. Heck, throw in a couple other artists which would allow a few of Al’s famous costume changes.
