    I mean, are Golden and Watson just decoys or what? We are absolutely force feeding Doubs at this point, especially down the field, and I have to think we have other guys on roster who can fill that role more completely. Maybe their health is limiting their approach a bit.

    We could have been playing Valentine on the boundary this whole time…
  3. HarveysWBs
    Nice drive. We can trade TDs for their FGs all night, as far as I’m concerned.
  4. HarveysWBs
    Thank goodness

    Rodgers may or may not treat this as an “F you” game, but personal motivation aside, he’s plenty quick enough with his release, and he’s still got a head on his shoulders. I expect him to mostly neutralize our pass rush and locate our weak defensive back (either Hobbs or Valentine) all night long. This should be a difficult game, not least because we seem to only play difficult games these days. Our offense is very efficient, but has trended towards fewer and fewer drives per game for several seasons now. I expect Rodgers will also use a lot of play clock, too, so this will boil down to which defense can make multiple stops—getting even three or four will set one of these teams up in strong position. I think I like our defense better than Pittsburgh’s, and so I’ll say we win this one, but I don’t anticipate feeling comfortable about it until it’s all over.

    Call that the Micah Parsons game. He did what he’s here to do today.
  7. HarveysWBs
    Lucky that wasn’t flagged on the hit.
  8. HarveysWBs
    Ask and you shall receive, it seems
  9. HarveysWBs
    Hey look, Hobbs’ guy again. Shock
  10. HarveysWBs
    We didn’t score 28, so I think we’re in tough shape here.
  11. HarveysWBs
    Thank goodness for Tucker Kraft
  12. HarveysWBs
    Ok, defensive line. Nice effort on that.
  13. HarveysWBs
    If Green Bay wins, two red zone sacks and Havrisik’s monster kick are the red circles in the notebook so far. Really momentous efforts.
  14. HarveysWBs
    Is there something he can do besides cash checks?
  15. HarveysWBs
    After pro scouting being such a strength of this franchise of late, the Hobbs and Banks trades and subsequent performances are just inexplicable. Truly horrendous.
  16. HarveysWBs
    Whatever our third down strategy was for this one, burn it.
  17. HarveysWBs
    False starts, offsides, illegal formations… Man there are some posteriors in need of a good chewing out there today.

    This whole game, including the broadcast production (routinely trash camera work) is incredibly frustrating. If anything, Parsons has just made me angrier about how mid we are. Healthy Love and healthy Parsons should be 4-1/5-0 and rolling. This is a garbage product right now.

    The Brewer pitchers have absolutely more than held up their end of the bargain. What a time for the whole lineup to completely lose their collective mojo. But as @adambr2 said, this is not exactly a new development for the Brewers and postseason “offense,” which has really just been “offensively putrid” of late. Aside from winning at least a couple games, I was really hoping Yelich would find something in this series, for the sake of his own Brewers legacy. At this point in his career and with his injury history, you have to wonder (and he probably wonders, too) if he’ll ever string some offensive success together in October.
  20. HarveysWBs
    Literal insult to injury. Sounds about right.
  21. HarveysWBs
    Yeah, I keep trying to hope that the Dodgers winning a title and then making even more huge signings (Yamamoto 12 years, $325 mil plus a $50mil signing fee to the Orix Buffaloes, signaling their intention to basically turn all of Japan into their own private talent farm) would be such an offensive financial decision that even the Yankees would balk and start demanding structural changes. Remains to be seen. EDIT: nvm, forgot Yamamoto was signed going into 2024, not this year. Losing a grip on the facts.
  22. HarveysWBs
    Essentially, for the Brewers to win a title under these conditions, they pretty much need to hang around until about the first week of September and then go supernova like they did post-All Star break this year, and they'd still need to get all the breaks to beat a Dodger team playing like this. Even then, I'm not sure replicating their July and August in October is even really possible. Yet, being light years away from their offensive peak, they've still lost the first two of this series by only a combined five runs, could have (should have?) stolen game one, and have held Ohtani down in a park that would reward an awful lot of pull fly balls from him. But for that, the deficit is still 2-0 and feels a lot bigger than that. Hey Chris Berman, I could really use a "And that's why they play the game" right about now.
  23. HarveysWBs
    I decided in the DS that finding a way to beat the Cubs and avoid yet another postseason series collapse will be acceptable progress for me and I would not be upset about whatever came next. I intend to honor that promise to myself. That being said, getting the privilege of watching the Dodgers give me a half a billion dollar lesson in modern baseball economics with Snell and Yamamoto is fairly irritating, to say the least. Yeah, the approaches need to be better, especially the flipping lefties, who are coming up small in nearly all seven postseason games so far. But the story is these starters doing exactly what they are being paid princely sums to do, and we have no answers.
  24. HarveysWBs
    Or a broken kneecap.
  25. HarveysWBs
    Look, it's the playoffs. 2-1 games at the later stages just happen. I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't think we need to make a federal case about it, either. This was always well within the realm of likely possibility, and it isn't Murph's fault, and I don't think it means a really radical rethink is necessary. The lineup was constructed well, Snell was nails for 8 innings, but I suspect when the Brewers see him again (and I really hope they see him again) the approach will be better and the result at least slightly different. Let's go at it again tomorrow. Back to work.
