McManus not very impressive tonight.
I like playing for the TD there on 3rd and 4th down. 3 points doesn’t really change this game very much and even if you don’t convert on 4th, the field position advantage is massive.
Whew, I’ll take the miss.
The fact that the Commanders had the ball at midfield, 3 timeouts and 2 minutes left and had absolutely no interest in even trying to score a TD tells you how much respect they have for our pass rush.
Obviously won’t see him for a long time yet, but I’m curious to know whether Brewer fans right now would feel better with Jesus Made or Joey Ortiz at the plate.
Chicago passing them would be the more likely path to not having a bye, but I agree that neither is going to happen. Chicago is just not good enough to go on a big run, and LAD dug too deep of a hole.
It’s amazing to me that Seigler got opportunity after opportunity and did nothing with it, Monasterio was forced into action with the Ortiz injury and did a really good job, and the moment Ortiz walked back in the door Mona has been pretty much dead to Murphy.
Someone brought up a good point earlier in this thread that if Joey Ortiz and his .500ish OPS is basically breaking records for how many times he’s coming up with the bases loaded, then your lineup structure kind of sucks.
That’s all fine and good, but you can’t be an everyday SS based only on defense alone and NO bat. You have to be able to offer at least minimal offensive production, even if just a ,675 OPS.
