    PETA has released some new “animal friendly idioms” to replace some of the sayings that we all grew up hearing such as the BrewerFan special “beating a dead horse”. The “helpful” alternative is “feeding a fed horse”. I just think some of the idioms are pretty funny and by no means am I looking to start anything. I just thought some of you might get a kick out of some of them. https://www.peta.org/teachkind/lesson-plans-activities/animal-friendly-idioms/

    Braun is good to go tomorrow! Great news on Braun. Cain will be a game time decision, but Scott Braun asked Cain how he was feeling when he was walking off the field and Cain responded with “good enough”. Looks like Cain will be a go as well!

    Not that Marte was a likely target, but man did he take off this season. Think of what our future outlook would be if we had him to be our everyday shortstop for the foreseeable future. Switch hitting shortstop that hit 32 bombs and slashed .329/.389/.981. Man would he be nice to have in the 2 spot in front of Yelich.

    Before the game yesterday, Bregman trailed Trout in WAR 8.3 to 8.1. Bregman went 1-1 with a single and two walks and then somehow finished the year at 8.4 WAR, taking away the title from Trout. I really do not know how WAR is calculated, but that doesn’t really add up to me. If a guy hits a couple homers and goes 5-5 in a game, yeah I can see why it would spike up that much. When Braun had his 6 hit game earlier in the year, did that give him .6 or .7 WAR of his 1.8 total WAR for the season? Seems a little far fetched to me. But again, I don’t have a great understanding of WAR. Maybe someone can explain how it possibly went up that much from those three plate appearances? The Astros also reportedly removed him from the game after his third plate appearance, knowing that he took the WAR lead.

    Nope, not on Tuesday. There is no chance, 0% that he is allowed to pitch 7 innings, not to mention, he doesn't have the stamina built up even if they wanted him to go 7. If we get a solid 3 innings we will be doing great! [sarcasm]I would say 6 3 pitch inning might get him there.[/sarcasm] Does anyone besides the diehardiest of diehard twins fans think they will win 1 game vs the yankees. I think they have a good shot. That offense is explosive. I wouldn’t sleep on the Twins making a run this postseason. Twins get the edge with their starting staff, Yankees get the edge in the bullpen. The offenses are pretty similar. The dream scenario would be the Brewers and Twins facing off in the World Series. It would be cool to have those two small market squads face off with the World Series on the line. That would be one electric border battle!

    I think we will see Strasburg come in to relieve Scherzer once his pitch count gets high or from ineffectiveness. I don’t see the Nationals messing around with their bullpen at all during a single elimination game. The Nationals are going to use their best arms to try to advance.

    If you predicted at the start of the year that we would be playing the final game of the season with a chance to win the division and our outfielders for that crucial game were Spangenberg, Grisham, and Gamel, then you are an absolute wizard!

    Man this defense could be something special! If the offense plays as well as they did the first 3 weeks of the season, I could definitely see them in the playoffs at the end of the season. Hopefully this game is just a hiccup for the offense. Teams just aren’t going to score much on this defense.

    Bingo. 10/10 you don’t punt from the other teams 36.

    Not sure if it is just part of the game plan today, but the Badgers sure aren’t throwing down field much today. 4 yard outs on 3rd and 7 or 6 yard outs on 3rd and 10. Not a fan of running a bunch of routes like that short of the line to gain unless they are crossing routes where you’re hitting the receiver in the middle of the field in stride. Maybe Northwestern’s corners are terrible at tackling and they are banking on the wide receivers to make guys miss and they just aren’t in the first half. This game just has a different feel to it with what they are trying to do offensively.

    You want to know what this is? It is giving the refs a huge amount of power to control the outcome of a game. That was exactly what I thought when they implemented the rule and this is exactly what happened yesterday. It’s all about control and giving the refs the ability to control the outcome of games.

    Obviously our optimism is still focused on THIS season, but if the Brewers can keep up the same pace next season they will finish 2020 with a 146-16 record. I would take the over on that!

    I have no issue with the Cubs doing this either. It was 100% Maddon just being a jerk and probably him being irritated with how they have performed down the stretch... Plus, he’s probably still a little bothered by us breaking their hearts last year and wants to, in a way, get back at us while making a public statement that is just making himself look like a tool.

    Just bumping this thread for discussions about how everybody’s predictions have turned out

    Yay Brewers!!

    They play Dallas before the Lions, so an extended break before Dallas, then an extra day for the Lions. Ahh, thanks. I’m screwed up on my dates. Still a nice 9 day layoff before taking on Dallas.

    Attanasio is probably writing out checks to the Diamondbacks to keep playing hard since he has been hoarding his money with the low payroll and has a lot more to dish out.

    How great would it be to win game 163 against the Cardinals to steal away the division in 2019 after doing it to the Cubs in 2018?

    I love Braun! Wouldn’t change a thing about the Braun extension through 2020! It is well worth it!
