    I'd rather be going for the win than playing it safe. I feel like that's an attitude that you end up setting inside that locker room whether it's intentional or not: we aren't confident that we can win so we're going to play it safe. I can't speak for the men in that locker room but I feel pretty confident that if they took a vote it would overwhelmingly be in favor of aggression rather than caution. I'm just not going to ever understand how they decided to play scared at the end of that game. What did that one dude say that one time?

    I am still so unbelievably pissed off about this game. I don't think I've ever watched a game that has left me this baffled how it went the way it did in my entire life. I've watched terrible Packers teams play with a more focused purpose, of what they were trying to accomplish than what I saw last night. Fire everyone. I've never quite been on the MLF is trash bandwagon but I'm now a convert, it's my new religion. What the hell did I watch happen in that overtime? The Packers were scoring TD after TD leading up to OT. Everything in OT went exactly like you'd hope (mostly) by holding them to a FG. Then as soon as they get the ball for their possession MLF decides to play for the tie? Did that really happen? The play calling was mind boggling. The clock management was infuriating. How are they not trying to score a TD and win? How was the defense this bad? I can accept that Dak is a capable QB and made some things happen but it sure looked like they made it as easy for him as they could. I need it explained to me like I'm a caveman that was frozen in ice and woke up in the modern world would need computers explained to them. (Well, we dug in the ground and found these special rocks and when we figured out how to harnesses the power of lightning to feed a current into those rocks we ended up creating something that will eventually gain it's own consciousness and end human existence. That is, if we don't do it to ourselves first).

    My concern is mainly that they've been playing .500 ball for a month, which is fine, I'm just anxious about them being able to kick it up a notch once the playoffs start. Sometimes I think it's something to be legitimately anxious about and other times I think that it's not. The playoffs are their own thing and if they go out and win game one of their first series that can ignite the team just as easily as anything else.

    I'm pretty much the same. My team is my team, then there's all the rest. There are teams that I can enjoy watching in a neutral setting but I'm not a "fan" of those teams. I don't read articles or keep up with the entire roster of players and their stats and personalities the way I do for my team. And when my team plays those teams? Not even close. I can go from liking a team to hating them real quick and it doesn't take much at all. A hit by pitch can sway my feelings about a neutral team in an instant.

    I'm not so sure it will. Up until recently I have also been on the fully automated band wagon but I've now come around to thinking the challenge system might be the best option. It will still take watching it in action to fully convince me but I'm definitely leaning towards the challenge system being the best option. Also, I don't actually think that Manfred or the suits in the MLB office have strong feelings about going fully automated. If they did then that would change my view on what will happen in the future. I think they're prepared to be just as satisfied with the challenge system as the players. I get it (because I was thinking it too) the challenge system feels sentimental, like it's clinging to tradition. But the more I've read about it I feel I better understand what the baseball folks are talking about. I'm just not as convinced now as I was before that going 100% with technology is the superior choice. Ultimately we shall see. Opinions will form more solidly as we see it in action.

    Cal Raleigh hit his 60th HR of the season last night. He's played in 155 games (35 as a DH), it's incredibly impressive the season he has put up as a catcher with 7.2 bWAR. We get pretty good production out of our own catcher, William Contreras, who also plays in a lot of games at catcher with minimal rest but Raleigh's season is clearly on another level. Does he win MVP? If you're just comparing numbers, Judge is still the man. But I just think with the physical toll of playing that position and now hitting the 60 HR milestone Raleigh could see a nice bump in 1st place votes. It's the one thing that, perhaps, can't be measured by WAR. It's not rare for a catcher to suffer on offense due to the demands of squatting for 120+ games and wearing all that gear through the heat of a summer.

    All in all, regardless of the tickets that end up in the hands of opposing team's fans, I'd expect that Brewers fans will still vastly outnumber those other fans. Brewers fans will always be the ones most motivated to buy playoff tickets for Brewers games, and almost all of those people want to actually go to those games. A Brewers vs. Cubs playoff series would be the only one where I'd think the opposing fans would be significantly loud but that's already kind of the norm when the Brewers host the Cubs.

    Correct. This topic has 820 views in going on 3 days now, I'd assume by many whom have clicked on it multiple times to read new replies. What actual result do you think comes of this from the couple dozen people you've reached with your plea? I don't begrudge you for your opinion I just don't think that, as a call to action, it's going to be effective. If you bought advertising on billboards all over Milwaukee I would wonder how effective that would even be.

    In the article I read I believe they said that challenges on average were about 13 seconds. But they also said that challenges per game averaged out to about 4 per game. So that's one minute total added to games. Seems like a fair enough a trade off to me. Replay challenges take longer. I barely notice the time on those unless it goes really long. I don't think the time for balls/strikes challenges are going to be that noticeable.
  10. SeaBass
    On the surface I can see how that sounds like a good idea but both teams getting a bunch of inconsequential challenges would absolutely slow the game down. If a team is using challenges correctly they will have infinite challenges to use throughout the game.

    Read the article that @markedman5 linked, explains the thought process behind the choice for 2 and I think it sounds very reasonable. Basically teams are going to have to be strategic in their choice to use their challenges. If a challenge succeeds the team retains their challenge(s). So 2 should be plenty if used correctly. The point is to have a way to fix egregious incorrect calls, not to nitpick about borderline pitches that could get called either way.

    The Cardinals have been on my list since 1982. The Cubs only joined the list in 1998. Before that I actually mildly rooted for them. I didn't actually mind their 2016 championship either, the Brewers weren't affected by that. But I had a deal with myself that once that happened it would be the last time I was ever pro-Cubs. The Yankees have always been a team I hated and I don't think I need to explain why, though these days that feeling isn't quite so strong (it'll always be there though). The Dodgers are the new Evil Empire and they're a constant obstacle to Brewers post season advancement so they're definitely up there rivaling the Cards and Cubs. Astros might be up there too but there's not actually that much emotion attached there really. I'll probably let that go once the last remnants of the cheaters are gone for good.

    Nobody said that making the playoffs has to be a cakewalk. If it takes all 162 games then that's what it takes. The Tigers still gave themselves much better chances to make it by building that cushion than if they had to try to chase a team down from behind instead. Either way is possible but I'll take that first option every time.
  14. SeaBass
    Only reason I think this post is silly is because what percentage of Brewers fans are actually going to see it? It'll be tiny. This post is a nothingburger. If the Brewers themselves posted to social media and begged their fans not to sell postseason tickets to non-Brewers fans for the exact same reasons as this post it would be largely ignored. You can't control the human mind by trying to appeal to a "noble sacrifice" over the potential for monetary gain. Or, as OSS has said, even just getting some return on a ticket you won't be able to use. This is not to say that I don't agree with the sentiment I just don't think this post is really going to have any significant impact if any at all.

    What a ridiculous meltdown. Embarrassing and infuriating.

    Not a big issue with me really but it does strike me as odd that you can't navigate to a poster's profile and find the Ignore button there. Again, I think I've maybe used the Ignore feature on 2 posters total so really doesn't affect me, just odd.

    Honorable mention to Bobby Hughes, who didn't actually officially wear 66 (this must have been a spring training pic). Only played 2 MLB seasons, both with the Brewers. I mostly just remember him being kind of a funny guy in that clubhouse.

    I remember Billy Spiers started the season on an absolute power binge mashing 3 HR the first week of the season in 1991. Alas, he didn't hit his 4th homer until July. He ended up with a career high 8 dingers that year.

    Internet tough guy detected.

    Well I think the idea is that if they keep playing around .500 baseball their chances in the playoffs won't be great no matter who they play or what their seed is. So they better flip the switch or it's going to be an early exit again regardless.

    Per Packers.com: The game will be broadcast across the country on Amazon Prime Video. If you live in the Green Bay market, it will also air on WGBA-TV, and if you live in the Milwaukee market, it will be shown on WITI-TV.

    Willson Contreras will begin serving his suspension today. There's a little uncertainty about the length but there are some reports that it has been reduced from 6 games to 4 games. Nothing official quite yet.
