I think there is a real chance the B10 has no one in the playoffs. B10 West is terrible and the East will have no unbeatens unless Michigan or MSU run the table.

Watching tonights stream vs Army. Wow is Bucky bad. It might be a single digit win total this year.

I'm guessing the dodgers take out the braves in five.

Are they really doing that? I hope not. It's time to let 1982 go. Not saying the team has to do a celebration. But even if the Brewers win multiple World Series in the coming years, I'll never let 1982 go (or the 2-3 years leading up to that year). That was a great time in my life that I will always remember. That was also a really fun team! Same here. I remember going to a September game and Gorman Thomas and Ben Oglivie going back to back and the place was rocking. Being 18 at the time also helps.

I will always have the belief that the biggest screw up was not ditching Haines after last year's debacle.

It’s not 2005 anymore. Role players get 10+ million dollars a year in the major leagues now. That they’re going to be paying a former MVP and two former All Stars 52 million in 2022 isn’t really that big of a deal. lol It certainly is if our entire payroll is 115 million... It's a really big deal actually. Sure would be nice to not have a few of those contracts so you could go sign a Brandon Belt or some other mid-tier free agent that can actually hit.

If it would keep Yelich happy I say they promote Hanes to director of toiletry acquisition.

Uggh.

Dodgers are about to guarantee a game five in San Francisco. About three more feet on that Taylor fly ball and it would have been six nothing.

Not needing surgery means next to nothing where the severity of an injury is concerned. It only means that team physicians didn't need to intervene in order for the patella to heal on its own. Four years ago, I tripped while walking, fell, and broke my left patella into two pieces. Literally into two pieces. There was a very small part of the bone that was still attached at the very top, and my orthopedic surgeon (well, one of two) put me on bed rest for six weeks hoping that the bone would heal on its own. It did. The fracture completely healed. I'm much older than Yelich is (just turned 50 a few weeks ago). I'm not a professional athlete like he is. But if I have to, I can run, and outside of a little soreness afterwords, I'm fine. But putting torque on the knee, while bearing weight, is incredibly painful. I can't do it. Running, and swinging a bat, impact a knee in two completely different ways. The physics are completely different. Mickey Mantle destroyed his right knee in the 1951 World Series. The orthopedic surgeon interviewed by Jane Leavy for her book on Mantle postulated that he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus. The "Unhappy Triad" injury. Mantle played his entire career with a severely damaged knee. Only his neuromuscular genius helped to compensate for the injury. Mantle could still run like the wind, north south. He experienced no decrease to his burst speed. But he couldn't cut while running. At all. Different situation, clearly, but it goes to the discussion that this knee injury may not impact Christian's ability to run, but it may still be incredibly distracting, and limiting, where his swing mechanics are concerned. I am more concerned that it's a degenerative back condition that they're not talking about. There's no coming back to anything resembling an MVP form from that.

I just can't see how. There is nothing coming up the pipeline that's going to do that. The only dream I can cling to is fixing Yelich to the point he's a shell of what he was. Yeah, I'm sure they can move a guy here or a guy there, but this offense badly needs something. And it's not just Yelich. It's JBJ. It's Cain. There's a lot of money in some not very great players. Brewers are scheduled to pay 52 million dollars to Yelich Cain and Bradley. If Garcia opts in it's almost 76 million. That is impossibly bad roster management. Amen.... Mistakes like that can set a small franchise back a decade easily. The only hope they have is a new hitting coach straightening guys out or finding a way to dump half the roster.

Well in his case it's more like force someone by making him part of a bigger trade.

I really think they're going to have to make big moves this off season. It's likely going to mean dangling Hader and yelich in front of the Yankees with only prospects in return. Yelich contract is so toxic right now they have to find a way to dump it

I wonder if they packaged Yelich and Hader they could get someone to take that contract off their hands.

It's the Andy Haines School of Hitting ... never protect the plate with 2 strikes ... swing for the fences or watch a called 3rd strike. Dumping him and rethinking their offensive approach is job one in the offseason. It should have been done last year.

Have to say council botched the series about as bad as any manager I've seen recently

Place and time. That was neither +1. Trying for a base hit but that was a really poor time to try that.

Taylor will hit for him.

They won't even have a base runner.

You sure wish we had a hitter as good as him.

That will likely do it

Without Williams the braves have the better pen.

No way they score off of Matzek.

One hitter to late.

It was out of the strike zone but not far enough.
