Yeah, I read Miz’s comments after the game that the mound played a role in the velocity stuff and that nobody in the building was worried about it. So that’s a relief. I think it’s good for him to continue working on the art of pitching, which includes how to handle having less than your A-level velo, and also how to handle preparation, listening to your body, and big moments in hostile environments. He was aces on all that stuff yesterday, and what else can you say about him at this point? He’s going to struggle for a stretch eventually, and seeing how he responds is really the last hurdle (that and maybe learning how to go deeper in games, but that’s also a structure of the game problem and not entirely under his control). As for today, I hope there are some boots on some north-side necks. They have a chance to go +3 on the season series against a major rival and the biggest threat in the division, and I hope they can do just that.

Well, that was relatively stress free from Uribe. Nice confidence builder, I hope.

The dugout view made it appear that Vaughn’s foot was on the middle of the base until the ball got there, and he was sliding it to the edge as Tatis slid into his foot. So it didn’t seem as bad as the first view. But Tatis did end up sliding into Vaughn’s side of the bag, and it was almost certainly intentional.

If we’re not going to get any of the super-hyped prospects up this year, I think a post-hype Tyler Black would be a cool consolation prize.

Atta boy, Breckenridge

Still got Turang going for us. So that's nice.

I know every fan base can do this, but I’d much rather have JSN and Gonzalez than LVN and Jordan Morgan.

Great game from both QBs, unlike that abomination in Denver (albeit a weather-related one). I kept waiting for Darnold to implode, but he's in a really good spot here and Seattle has him playing his best. Kudos to him.

I do not get that defensive holding call there at all. Hasn't been a penalty all day, and now you throw that? Shades of our NFC Championship against Brady's Bucs. You can't let only one of the two defenses be physical.

Seattle’s defense getting away with all kinds of BS. What decade is it, again? The more things change…

Put me down for “cromulently whelmed” on Gannon. Should be solid, but that was kind of the floor anyway on a defense with Parsons, Cooper, and our safeties. If he can make the group great (which is also a Gute problem, to be clear) remains to be seen. Certainly could have been worse. We could have gotten Eberflus.

Apparently, a 49ers fan took the Seattle Seahawks to court on this in 2014 after the Seahawks instituted a similar restriction, clearly attempting to bar fans of their southern rivals from the stadium. The court ruled decisively in favor of NFL teams, so as far as I know, the restrictions have been legally permissible ever since. As any Brewer fan knows, of course, the resale market is another beast entirely...

Since the window is basically next year, my personal preference would be: Tier 1: basically whatever stud coordinator doesn't get a HC job (1aFlores, 1bSchwartz, Saleh, in that order; either they get the D to ball out and leave for a big job somewhere after a year, or we fall on our face again as usual and its probably time for house cleaning anyway) Tier 2: Christian Parker, Jim Leonhard, in that order Tier 3: Then, in whatever order: Raheem Morris, Demarcus Covington, Derrick Ansley or whatever other name they can dig up (Aden Durde from Seattle? Somebody from college again?)

My friend, we've all seen things most NFL fans wouldn't believe. Special teams meltdowns off double digit road dogs. Beastquakes in the dark of Seattle. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to log off...
