    I don't think this is true. I love the ghost runner in extras. I think it adds pressure and excitement. It used to be if there were a few scoreless innings in extras it wasn't odd at all. Now if you don't score that ghost runner, especially if you're not the home team, you're thinking you're going to lose. Even if you only score 1 run you know that the other team has a really good chance to tie or even win. That said, it absolutely makes sense that old school extra innings rules be used in the postseason. When it's for all the marbles expediting an ending to the game really isn't what the game, or the series, is about at that point. The war of attrition impacts the series regardless of which team actually wins that individual game unless it's a game 7 or series clincher. I could see the ghost runner rule being adopted in the playoffs in the future though. Give fans enough time to become used to the "new" rule and they'll eventually start thinking it's silly that MLB is adhering to an old "archaic" rule like playing extra innings to infinity. I'm not saying I want that, I'm just saying I could see it happening.

    Honestly, with all the issues/injuries with the offensive line, the mediocre defensive backfield, the deplorable special teams, I'm not really sure why the rookie WR is even much of a lightning rod at all. One, he's a rookie, two if Love gets enough time he's going to move the offense. It's not really a WR problem.

    Right, like even the greats of the game like Ohtani, we know him but we don't KNOW him. Not the way Angels or Dodgers fans do. And Ohtani might be a bad example due to the language barrier, I'm not really sure how much of his personality really comes out in his interviews. But those fans still know him better than fans looking in from the outside. Like back when Aaron Rodgers was rumored to be traded to the Jets, of course NFL fans know who Aaron Rodgers is, how great he is. But I actually saw comments in places whether it was comment sections on online articles or Twitter or wherever, that some New York fans felt like he would be intimidated or feel pressured by the New York media since he was coming from tiny little Green Bay. 😂😂😂 I feel like I remember even Rich Eisen on his podcast (who is a big Jets fan) was wondering a little how he'd react to the scrutiny of the New York media. If anyone should've known better it would have been him. I was like, nah man, Rodgers is going to absolutely OWN New York. And he did, right up until that Achilles injury. Still a shame that, I wanted to see what he could do there without that. He really hasn't been the same since. I mean, Green Bay's media is pretty non-confrontational but the dude was a superstar for close to two decades. He's dealt with media from everywhere. Come on.

    I mean, in irrational fan reasoning that's such a long time ago.
  5. SeaBass
    Not lately. Isn't that how this works?

    Searching hard for comments about the other two guys that struck out but I guess it doesn't fit the narrative.

    I think it's possible but it's going to take a lot of pain to get there. A lot. The owners are going to have to hold strong and take the heat from the press and angry fans. That definitely makes it an uphill battle. I don't know how it's going to look. I wonder if the owners have the stomach for an extended stoppage how long will they be able to keep it up. There's already speculation that it could cancel an entire season. What if it goes longer? I think the players right now are chill with waiting out a season to stick to their guns. Will the owners look to put scabs on the field? I have to think that could potentially happen. It's going to be interesting, that's for sure.

    Ahh, you're right. I read an article recently and assumed it was talking about next season. ETA: That's 2 mistakes in 2 pages. I think I will refrain from posting again until this thread gets to at least page 4. 😆
  9. SeaBass
    Unless the lockout effectively cancels the entire season.
  10. SeaBass
    Or CF, RF, 2B, SS, 1B, C. Take your pick.

    I tend to agree. I think their pitchers have thrown well and the Brewers as a collective have been caught in a funk on offense. Unfortunately, that's baseball. You can be hot, you can be cold but cold teams in the playoffs don't often get the chance to turn the dial back around to hot.
  12. SeaBass
    I just went to some game logs after I posted and saw that this was the case.
  13. SeaBass
    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's normal DH rules. So they won't have a DH. I recall earlier in the season there was talk about Ohtani possibly shifting to OF once he's "pulled" off the mound so he can stay in the game but I don't know if he's actually done any of that or not.

    Honestly, thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

    I haven't said that you did. I also don't really feel like Adam is being unfair either. Criticism of Yelich or any player is fair game. When I say it's getting ridiculous it's more the over the top stuff that I'm talking about. Theorizing that his back is bothering him when there's no earthly reason to think that, unless something has been actually said about it from sources that would actually know. Pretending like the team is saddled with an albatross contract for the next 3 seasons. I don't believe that Yelich's contract is keeping the team from spending on a large contract if they truly felt like that contract would be good for the team. Yelich has had a good season this year, there's no way folks can legitimately deny that and be taken seriously. He's not 2018-2019 Yelich anymore, he hasn't been for years and I don't expect him to be going forward. The difference between Chourio and Yelich this postseason is roughly 3 hits. What are we even talking about?
  16. SeaBass
    Oh, it's not? It doesn't get ridiculous when people start griping about 3 more years (or whatever it actually is)? The horror. A guy that's quite literally one of the 3 best hitters on the team. But you're right. it couldn't possibly get ridiculous.
  17. SeaBass
    It's not a vacuum and it is unfair. Are the Dodgers struggling because Ohtani has a .599 OPS going in the playoffs so far? Nope. Because it's a team sport. They've pitched amazing, other hitters are hitting. It's been 7 games. The playoffs are a small sample and that's why there's so much pressure. But it's not like Yelich has been a complete disappearing act this whole time, which can easily happen to anybody over the course of just 7 games. It also means he could go nuclear in the next 2 to 5 games just as easily.
  18. SeaBass
    The Yelich stuff is ridiculous. Whatever, scapegoat whomever you want but there were 2 total hits in game one and 3 total hits in game two. Yelich has drawn one of the four total walks over both games. It's everyone. If you want to go back to the Cubs series: he had a hit and a walk in game one, 3 hits in game two, one hit (a double) in game three, no hits and 2 walks in game four, and a goose egg in game five.

    Somehow, some way, this group needs to show up and be loose and focus on just having fun. Easier to say than do. Just play baseball. Play smart but maybe try to put the stressful feelings aside and just do the thing they've been doing all their lives. Do the little things and maybe they'll add up to something big.
  20. SeaBass
    I do still have hope, really. Winning 4 of the next 5 games isn't impossible for any team, even against the Dodgers. This Brewers team is still a very good team. That said, I'm painfully aware of how difficult it will be and how unlikely it is to actually happen. I don't expect to advance beyond this series but I do still hope to. I suspect you do also.
  21. SeaBass
    This is the counter-argument to the people that point to Milwaukee's success and say, "See, we don't need a salary cap, small markets can still compete." It's not that the big markets won't think like a small market, they will eventually. And then their resources will be that much more maximized for their own benefit and the small markets become even more minimalized. Just like the "moneyball" idea somewhat became the new status quo. Small markets will ALWAYS have their chances, it's just that nearly EVERYTHING has to go right for them to succeed at it. Drafting, development, coaching, chemistry, etc, etc. The big markets can hedge against needing everything to go right simply by spending. The small markets can't.

    I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. (Mods if you delete this I understand lol)

    Brewers had their shot in game 1. Snell left the game and suddenly they're all over the bases and being what we've seen all season. Brice, man I wish he'd have let himself take that HBP but instincts took over. I do think that the Brewers hitters do need to have a mindset in those situations where taking a HBP is something they need to have some awareness of. I feel like I see other batters do this and maybe it's just having that as part of the litany in your head as you prepare to receive a pitch. Be prepared. If you expect that an opportunity for a HBP can come then it's easier to control your instinct to react rather than just being surprised by it. It's hard for me to really fault them for not hitting enough against two really talented starting pitchers for 8 and 9 innings. Baseball is hard. They need to get into the bullpen. No guarantees there either but that's been the formula. Hope isn't lost but they're in a hole. Keep fighting.

    What I learned today is good things happen when you have a clean first inning.
  25. SeaBass
    Never had a doubt!!! 😬
