  1. I was so discouraged after the Badgers blew it that I didn't even check the bracket until yesterday. Apparently, I got all of the Final Four teams correct in the Brewerfan bracket. I have no memory of choosing those teams. In my other pool, I had the Badgers playing Duke in the finals, so I really had no reason to check the standings.
  2. St. Louis went to 2-0 at ~3:59pm on Saturday. The Brewers at that point were 1-0. They didn't go to 2-0 until ~9:11 pm on Saturday night. That means STL was in first by a 1/2 game for a little over 5 hours. Yes, I know this is the optimism thread. Don't tell torts.
  3. Start the Magic Number thread! Who wears number 156?
  4. Brewers now on pace for a +756 run differential. Might not be sustainable.
  5. This article is helpful: https://www.mlb.com/news/abs-challenge-system-mlb-2026 In particular: Can challenges affect runner placement? Yes. Inevitably, there will be instances in which teams want to challenge a pitch that was called during a play while other things happened on the field. So the umpires will determine whether that call on the field had an impact on the subsequent behavior of the defenders and baserunners. The umpires will let stand any calls unaffected by the incorrect call. As an example, say there is a runner at second with none out, and the batter is in a full count. The 3-2 pitch is thrown and called a ball, while the runner attempts to steal third. The runner beats the throw from the catcher and is called safe at third, but then the catcher challenges the ball call. Upon review, the pitch is revealed to be a strike. Rather than send the runner back to second base, the runner gets to remain at third, because the initial ball/strike call did not impact the catcher’s ability to try to throw him out. The batter is now out, but the runner is still safe. Also note that if a catcher drops a pitch that is initially ruled a ball but is overturned for strike three, the batter is out without requiring the batter or first base to be tagged (as would be required in the event of a traditional dropped third strike).
  6. I guess we are arguing philosophy vs outcome. Mitchell was wrong, therefore, bad challenge. That was my point
  7. Brewers on pace for a run differential of 700. Might not be sustainable
  8. He was so fast last night on his bunt single. Next level
  9. Loving Mitchell’s 50% K rate, compounded by a bad challenge
  10. Here's one more. After watching his team go down by a point with .3 left, the Duke radio announcer went with: “Malachi Smith ran off the bench! That should be a technical!" That would have been the most Duke way to win a game, though.
  11. I know the state motto. Lived here for many years. My point was that in the photo above, the word seems to appear on the inside of the jersey. And I agree that I don't think anyone says Wisco. But, since Sconnie (another thing no one says) is trademarked, and Wisky is probably not good for the kids, they are trying to make fetch happen.
  12. Nothing says city connect like having the name of your state on the front. and is Forward on the inside of the jersey?
  13. Brewers looking like the Sox. Dropped pickoff by Sanchez, Perkins messes up a pop up, and possibly the no challenge by Quero, Sproat with his first out on his 26th pitch.
  14. Is this too early to say that the White Sox are a bad team? They have made some bad, bad plays in only 11 innings this year. Today alone, Benintendi’s two plays, throwing to 3rd allowing Bauers to take seconds, bad challenge, the play that allowed the 4th run to score. I mean, it’s the second inning!
  15. Yelich starts the year with an 0-2 count. Watch the first pitch, swing and miss at the second. He does that a lot. I think he was in the top ten of plate appearances with an 0-2 count. Can't find the info to back that up right now.
