    You're right, it's not rocket science. A hitter like Bauers shouldn't be hitting in the 6 spot of a playoff game, plain and simple. He's DH'ing, so literally any of Perkins, Sanchez, or Haase would have been better. You don't have to go R/L all the way down the lineup.
  2. adambr2
    Well first, working a full count and striking out on very good pitch is a far, far better AB than popping out the very first pitch to the catcher. Secondly, Garrett Mitchell was a good hitter this year, has upside, and his presence in a run-producing spot in the lineup is understandable, unlike Jake Bauers, who has been a bad hitter not only this year but his entire career.
  3. adambr2
    Sure would've loved to have more runs in the 1st now instead of Bauers popping up the first pitch with the bases loaded.
  4. adambr2
    The crazy thing is we actually gave up value.
  5. adambr2
    Having Jake Bauers not only start, but hit in a run-producing spot in the lineup in a playoff game, is beyond criminal. Have we not seen enough of him throughout the entire regular season to know he's not good? What are you thinking, Murph? It's good we got 2 I guess, but we could have broken it open.
  6. adambr2
    Kind of crazy that Bauers, Monasterio, and Collins all made the playoff roster. Probably a pretty good indication that the back end of the bench needs to be beefed up next season. As others pointed out, when Rea went 106 pitches just two days ago, it just wouldn't make much sense to have him on the roster on 2 and 3 days rest from that. He'd be back for a potential NLDS roster I'm assuming.
  7. adambr2
    Fair point- we would have been one of those teams last year 🤣 but it's far easier to *assume* than a 2.

    McManus has exceeded 85% in FG percentage just once since 2016 and has a career FG percentage of 81.4% which would rank on the low end of starting kickers leaguewide. For comparison, Anders Carlson was 81.8% last season. Not exactly the massive upgrade you're looking for if you're going to roll the dice on a potential character concern. I get going with the known mediocre veteran commodity over the unknown that could be even worse, but if you were going to go that route you might as well have just went with Greg Joseph.

    Not just attempt. If you succeed at it, it would be one possession. If you fail at it, you are still down two, thus making it two possessions. And the likelihood of either outcome are about equal.

    I had a dyslexic moment and read the back of the jersey of Alex Alzalone of the Lions as something different.
  11. adambr2
    Why do commentators always refer to 8 point games as a "1 possession game"? Troy gushing over the call to just kick the XP because it "makes it a 1 possession game". No, it doesn't. It gives you about a 50/50 shot at a 1 possession game if you get a touchdown.

    As a Jahmyr Gibbs fantasy owner, Montgomery sucks and should never be out on the field.
  13. adambr2
    Well, looking at it from a straight probability standpoint, assuming all outcomes are a 50/50 chance, you have a 25% chance of winning the series if you drop Game 1, and a 75% chance if you win game 1. So, while you're not totally dead in the water if you don't win Game 1, it's definitely a big deal. Obviously the odds aren't exactly that and there are many variables in play, but it gives you an idea.

    For those who wanted to see Huntley brought in as the backup QB over Malik Willis, be happy that you didn't get your wish. Huntley is horrific.
  15. adambr2
    Huntley is terrible. Levis is terrible. Rudolph is terrible. The Dolphins/Titans game is unwatchable.
  16. adambr2
    So you must have agreed with the Barry example, then. I do concede that Anders is a flimsier example. Unless you have a kicker who is a complete disaster, there isn't often a better candidate at home on their couch. Anders was less consistent than we would have liked, but his completion percentage was merely below average, not disastrous.
  17. adambr2
    We had no control over the outcome, so I don't think it can. The Mets somewhat did, and they clearly preferred coming here versus San Diego, so let's hope that comes back to bite them.
  18. adambr2
    MLF for all the good that he does, has patience with both players and coaches in-season to a tremendous fault. I get that you don't want to be overreactionary, but one could legitimately argue that reluctance to move on from both Anders Carlson and Joe Barry much earlier than he did proved to be tremendously costly. There's certainly plenty of potential outcomes where history repeats itself in the playoffs and Narveson costs us our season.
  19. adambr2
    I mean there is really no excuse not to beat the Mets if it's the Mets. You're facing an exhausted team. You've got homefield, and at this point, you've been to the playoffs, numerous overall times over the last decade, this isn't a new experience. Obviously it's baseball and things happen, so who knows for sure especially in a 3 game series, and considering the preseason expectations it wouldn't make the season a failure, but it would be a pretty big disappointment to not advance.
  20. adambr2
    Well, I can't imagine that their alternative of coming back here and facing a different 93 win team that they went 1-5 against this year is all that appealing either. They at least had good success against San Diego this season. I imagine they will trot out a B lineup, preserve the heart of their roster and pitching staff as much as they can, make an earnest effort to win with their B team, and let the chips fall where they may.
  21. adambr2
    Wanted to point out that if Narveson makes 1 of 2 field goals, we are down 6 instead of 9 on Minnesota's last drive where they went for it inside the 5 on 4th down. Had they only been up 6, there's 100% chance that they would have kicked the FG to go up 9 and be up 2 scores rather than risking the 4th down, and the game would have ended the exact same way. So making 1 of 2 FGs would not have changed the outcome of the game.
  22. adambr2
    There's a little bit of an elephant in the room that Gary and Clark were huge investments on defense that to this point are not paying dividends. With Gary in particular really not even at what should be the prime of his career yet, I think a lot of us expected him to continue to improve and perhaps become one of the premiere edge rushers in the NFL. Not only is he not that, he's taken a step back if anything.
  23. adambr2
    If his kicks go in I really don't care if he aims for the left upright for the rest of his career. But he needs to figure it out like, immediately. When you have 4 misses after 4 games and no track record to fall back on you are already on borrowed time in the NFL.
  24. adambr2
    A split is more likely than not, but it's far from a forgone conclusion. These are division rivals. They have pride and there will certainly be a desire to eliminate the other entirely. There will be no gentleman's agreement.
  25. adambr2
    Just for a fun hypothetical, if Dallas was selling and made Aubrey available, what would you give up? A 3rd? I think I'd give up a 3rd rather easily.
