  1. …by not realizing he had Gary as a late-inning weapon sooner. I mean, he’s been there the whole time. Inexcusable.
  2. I’ve never seen anything quite like this. How does the manager even face the cameras after this one?
  3. I’d be very curious to know what percentage of the bullpen calls were Murphy and what were the analytics department? You listen to the way Murphy brings stats to some of his postgame chats and you get a glimpse of how much data the team feeds him in-game. I kinda doubt he’s just rolling with hunches all day long down there, as much as his persona would seem to indicate otherwise. He isn’t exactly Ned Yost in there. But that said, the buck stops with him regardless.
  4. Every team struggles. San Diego is a buzz saw right now. The micro scale means virtually nothing. But it is part of a trend of Brewers offense getting worse as the year goes on, no question. The team has to get run production from the marquee players, and it was always going to come down to that. There are only two real questions about this team, other than health: - Can they hang on to a top-2 spot? - Can the offense get hot at the right time? Nothing else matters about the 2026 Brewers. Their season will be defined by those two questions.
  5. At least it wasn’t Machado. Never let Machado beat you.
  6. I’m much happier when the West coast games are all late. Then I have a perfect excuse not to watch and I can pretend the games just don’t happen. This experience is far, far worse.
  7. Rengifo’s .872 OPS with the Padres is…obnoxious.
  8. To me, this is some sort of combination of injury (bad) luck and a further extension of their financial advantage over virtually the entire league. Because of their vast revenue system, the Dodgers can afford to sign players that will likely struggle to consistently pitch 150+ regular season innings (i.e. veteran starters with injury histories or concerns) knowing that even a combination of injuries are not likely to doom their chances of making the postseason. As such, they do not need to rush a player's rehabilitation in order to win regular season games, with an obvious eye to having the freshest stable of arms in October. Credit where it is due: they have enough depth to make it work (and one of the deepest lineups in recent memory certainly helps, too). But I don't see this as a manipulation of the injury list system as much as it is another example of how the league needs economic reform very badly, which I realize is not likely to be news to anyone here.
  9. 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.
  10. Well, that was relatively stress free from Uribe. Nice confidence builder, I hope.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I know every fan base can do this, but I’d much rather have JSN and Gonzalez than LVN and Jordan Morgan.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Seattle’s defense getting away with all kinds of BS. What decade is it, again? The more things change…
  17. 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.
  18. 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...
  19. 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?)
  20. 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...
  21. Oh, I fully expect that we would have played well enough to make it still hurt when we eventually lost. That's the Packer way. Plus Darnold is a meltdown waiting to happen. I mean, we have the script in the archives from 2014, so it is really not difficult to imagine at all. Darnold has like three picks, Love harassed all day by Seattle's front but somehow never gets rattled and manages a 260-2-1 line. McManus has a critical miss, and Jacobs fumbles in the red zone when we could have gone up two scores late. Instead, JSN undresses Nixon for a long, late score and the Pack lose by less than three. Love either never has enough time to answer or comes up just short. Just so we can have more silly discourse about keeping Malik Willis instead, or whatever the knuckle-draggers want to drool all over their keyboards about. No, much better we didn't see that, thank you very much.
