Unfortunately this one anomaly may cost him a Cy Young. Its just such a dead heat that he couldn't afford it tonight.

They haven't had a good September and are fortunate they did a lot of heavy lifting before then, that much is certain. Whether or not they can turn it back on remains to be seen.

Imagine if we had won the Justin Turner sweepstakes. Bonus, we wouldn't have signed JBJ.

Corbin moving that Cy Young betting needle early already.

How often do you call your brother to help around your house with projects? How often does he call you for financial advice? I have a nephew who used to do roofing. I told him to never tell anybody what he does for a living. Every acquaintance would want him to put a roof on their house for a case of beer. If people would ask he would say demolition. I can't stand people that have a presumption of free/cheap goods and services from friends. This can be anything from construction to barbers to tattoo artists to a masseuse or anything else. I'm going to them for their benefit to support their business as a friend, not looking to rob them. I expect to pay full price and if they do try to cut me a deal I will make up for it on the tip.

I had a buddy that was convinced that Austin Kafentzis was going to be the guy.

Imagine wasting your money to go to Camp Randall for this and not even being able to drink.

How in the world is that not PI?

This team is not even worthy of a Dukes Mayo Bowl.

I wonder how many bettors put insanely easy money down in Vegas on Badger opponents. How in the world are we favored in these games? We. Are. Bad.

Absolutely served up on a platter.

Anyone else getting into Squid Game? I'm hooked.

Not an odd take at all. He never said it was a slam dunk. Just showing graciousness if it was indeed his last pitch as a Brewer.

I forgot about that guy. He makes Tom Haudricourt look personable.

Damn. That was so nice to read. Of course the first reply to him is a total abhorrent jerk.

Since the all-star break (prior to today's game): Narvaez: 184 PA, 3 HR, 21 RBI, .234/.283/.335 (618 OPS) Pina: 95 PA, 8 HR, 23 RBI, .262/.347/.595 (943 OPS) Pina might finish with the higher season OPS, which is nuts considering how they both respectively started.

Narvaez has really faded in the 2nd half of the season.

Stearns probably has a good opinion of O.J. Simpson if that is his point of view. It's quite possible that Stearns doesn't equate a double felony murder in the same category of a worst moment as drunkenly punching a wall in frustration.

You wouldn't normally expect one start to weigh so heavily in a Cy Young race, but that's the razor thin margin between the candidates in this one.

To be clear I think if Williams gets traded it will be because it is a good deal for our franchise, not because of this incident.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that's not necessarily true. Who would have thought we'd trade Rasmussen? Feyereisen? Thornburg? Granted Williams is better than these guys, but that also likely means we'd get more. I guess my main point is that Stearns always keeps his options open and will deal if he believes that he can exploit a market inefficiency. Grisham looked like a guy who wasn't going anywhere for awhile too, until he did.

I'm still mad about how much they ruined his character the last season and just turned him from a really likeable guy into a totally unlikable knob.

Classic "actions have consequences" situation. He not only let himself down but he let his teammates down as well. I'm sure he is well aware of that and hopefully uses this life lesson to make better choices in the future. Yes, he's not perfect and none of us are. Drunkenly punching a wall is never a very bright move for anyone, but Devin punching a wall goes a bit above and beyond Mr. Joe Average punching a wall. Mr. Joe Average doesn't literally depend on that hand for his entire livelihood.

All honesty welcome I hope you beat the Dodgers, for whatever it's worth!

Oh, so only the people that like the go for it on 4th down move can act like the following 49er drive would have automatically led to points had they started at the 25 instead of the 5, and just assume they get as much or more yardage? I thought it doesn't work that way... Sorry, nobody's mind is getting changed, we will agree to disagree here. 3 points in that spot in the game against a really good defense to me is worth far more than a consolation prize of 20 yds in field position if you don't convert. IMO, scoring decisions early in the second quarter should never be about weighing how many scores/possessions different decisions put you up by, it should be all about what decision gives you the best odds of increasing your point total. Converting and getting a TD on that drive is the obvious best case scenario, but I didn't like the risk taken at that point in the game given how it was unfolding compared to just picking up 3 more points and really giving san fran no sort of advantage afterwards. Had the GB defense forced a 3 and out right away leading to a short field on GB's next TD drive, I could see an argument justifying pinning them back as an advantage - but that didn't happen. I actually would have been more ok with going for it on 4th and short from the 30 in that spot compared to opting not to take a gimme field goal. I mean, you can feel however you want to feel about it, I'm just saying that at this point, there's years of analytics and data that demonstrate that going for a 4th and short inside the 5 (and most other situations) is almost always better toward your chances of winning the game than kicking a FG. You're literally arguing against math. https://medium.com/@greerre/when-should-nfl-teams-go-for-it-on-4th-down-expected-points-vs-cvar-428c9e26b0a9 I understand that each situation is different and you can't just be a total slave to analytics but when you're talking 4th and 1 and inside the 5 the value of each of your two choices as far as contributing toward your chances of winning is actually not very close.
