Heaven forbid we put a little trust in our brain trust that has lead us to, checks notes, the best record in baseball this year and the last three years instead conspiratorial complaints about them trying to sabotage our chances to win the World Series.

What were the speculated trade packages for Burnes vs what we got? Speculative and actual are obviously very different things and it’s possible that Skubal could exceed what Burnes got or what is being rumored if a team goes crazy as Brock mentioned.

I think that is a big reason is we’re still only 100 games into the new system. Yes there was some variation of ABS in the minors recently, but not all players were exposed so there is a learning curve. The Brewers also tried to implement a system earlier this year to tell the players when they could challenge a pitch in the at bat (making more sense analytically for the situation) and MLB said no.

Aren’t some of those obvious ones what replay assist is for? I thought the same thing.

That is exactly my point. They have had a solid O and terrible D against one of the easiest schedules… now you have possibly the toughest remaining schedule. It just feels like the Bears are setting one of their usual traps and you’re all falling for it again…

Gotta say I’m impressed. Figured as a Bears fan you woulda learned by now, but good for you… suppose it is better to be unrealistically optimistic than the opposite. What two W’s do you see on the schedule for a team that has given up the 6th most points against one of the easiest schedules so far?

How is that not holding on the right end for the Steelers on those FG? He just sticks his arm out and grabs/pulls the edge rusher and completely turns him.

When the pulling tackle can start moving before the ball is snapped, doesn’t help at all.

We’ve got this… Angel in the Front Row! Win it for Ueck!

How do they spot the ball that far from the goal line afterwards as well?

I guess we’re to the point where you are just going to be condescending with more strawman arguments because you got nothing left. Feel free to have the last word.

You said he only got his hits in games that we were up 10 only. He asked you to back that up… nobody claimed that Ortiz is good… everybody agrees he isn’t good with the bat. You start making a straw man about posters claiming Ortiz is good with a bat and then claim victory. That was it.

Man, the Padres sure like to complain about strike calls that are strikes right after getting a gift of a ball call again.

He actually said it was bad before you did? All he had the audacity to do was ask you to back up your definitive statement about Ortiz with some stats and you couldn’t but claimed victory anyway…

This D is fun to watch.
