  1. After pulling his guy early yesterday.
  2. Cool. Still not what is happening here.
  3. Wow..............just wow.,...........
  4. Turang wearing cement cleats apparently
  5. I know the "luck" and "random baseball stuff" crowd is going to show up but that is not what is happening here.
  6. I'm glad I get to see that 30% win probability every time I look at the score.
  7. Nappy time for the offense again.
  8. Your best starter and probably wont get a post season start.
  9. Win or go homie and dudes looking at strike three.
  10. Yeah, not impressed with the lineup but we shall see.
  11. That's good because the last few years make it seem pretty darn improbable.
  12. Whether anything more can be done to build a better team more suitable for postseason play is debatable. Whether the system is flawed or not is irrelevant. It's the system we have and the system they will be judged against. If anything can happen, why does the same thing keep happening?
  13. OK, so everyone was wrong and that became clear very early on. This Brewers started hot and never really looked back. At some point the expectations have to change based on that performance.
  14. I understand your perspective. It's a bit too cynical for me and I don't agree with it, but I get it. Every business in the world operates under constraints aimed at making a profit. That doesn't preclude them from wanting to be the best at whatever it is they do. Every significant organization started off as an industry dis-rupter and had to find creative ways to compete in order to rise to the top. The Brewers are an industry dis-rupter. So yeah, profit matters and it always will. Having said that, the Brewers do things that are not profit conducive but rather are aimed at winning. The pour millions into player development, particularly Latin America, that they don't have to. Certainly they could keep that money as profit, other teams do rather than reinvest in the product. No, this is purely a move to find ways to compete. I would argue that the fans are the largest part of driving winning, particularly championships. Without the fans, none of it exists. If every Brewer fan stopped going to games, watching on TV and buying merch, they would become the Portland Brewers very quickly.
  15. I mean, OK, but this really seems like the emotional protectionism, which you assigned to others who care about winning championships, under the guise of a reasoned response. The whole point is to win championships. Full stop. Why else exist as a professional sports franchise. Even if you don't buy that then at least winning a playoff series. I mean, some level of post season success is necessary at some point if you are going to claim to be the best run organization in the league. At some point you have to back that up with something other than being the playoff springboard for teams that win. If your goal is simply to not suck, then this would be a pretty boring hobby.
  16. Someone made the comment earlier in the thread that it wasn't about talent. It is absolutely about talent.
  17. Hell, I'd feel the same about the NLCS.
