  1. Game 5 of the Finals was right up there too. It was really the moment where things shifted from "At least we were in the Finals" to "Wait, I think we are actually going to do this".
  2. I don't really see the relevance of the 2014 team personally. This team has waaaaaaaaay more talent than that team. Yeah I pretty much agree. 2014 was on its last gasp of veteran talent and the fact that they basically tried to run it back with the same group in 2015 and it massively failed should be a good indicator that the 2014 Brewers really played over their heads. I will say one similarity is that the rotation was very deep and carried them but there was no real substance to it. Peralta had a career year and Garza and Gallardo and Lohse all happened to have very good years at the same time. The talent level on this rotation is much better.
  3. NBA games are only about 2 hours so not a huge deal. Get it started on time. Not sure if the Packers could push to 3:45 or so.
  4. Yep. I would likewise predict that Cincinnati does not catch us but does catch the Padres for the 2nd Wild Card.
  5. What a nice win. So many years a night like tonight would have ended up a loss with all the missed opportunities but our 3 aces are just that good.
  6. The few times we saw Bickford pitch here, he was throwing fastballs with little movement in the upper 80s to low 90s. There was literally nothing he was doing that indicated that he'd ever be anything more than a replaceable, dime-a-dozen reliever. I don't fault the Brewers at all for finally dumping him after sticking by him through all his off-field issues over the years. Perhaps he's found something with the Dodgers ... who knows. I do know, though, that relievers who don't bring much special to the table rarely last long. Bickford has added quite a bit of velocity (about 94 MPH average on his 4 seamer), is striking out 11 per 9 and peripheral stats are pretty supportive of his breakout. Whatever he found with LA, his performance has been pretty legit and not smoke and mirrors.
  7. Wow, what a job by Burnes. Do you try to squeeze a 7th out of him, or be happy with 6 scoreless?
  8. Ugh. I don't know how no-hitters are constantly happening around us and yet we just can't get one with this pitching staff. It feels so inevitable so many times, yet it just never happens.
  9. Exact type of situation you don't want to go down looking and Yelich goes down staring again. Swing. The. Bat. There was a time when a 2-0 count to Yelich with the bases loaded and 1 out felt like a near sure thing.
  10. Bad AB by Yelich, bad send at 3rd, bad no challenge by Counsell. Took a lot of effort to come out of that inning with a goose egg.
  11. The problem was the best view the umpire was in the way. Still looked safe from the best view I had. I've seen then overturn a lot worse.
  12. What the hell, Counsell? Was so close, but sure looked like he barely got his foot in there.
  13. Yelich, you've got 2 runners on and nobody out and you do that? Maybe try taking the bat off your shoulders a little bit.
  14. I'm going to give Cardinal fans credit for one thing- they are respectful to their former players in other uniforms.
  15. https://www.yahoo.com/news/james-harden-says-nets-dont-202157853.html I really like Kevin Durant a lot. But some of it is because Harden always looks like an insufferable loser in comparison.
  16. Dahl's career really went strangely south in a hurry. He was a high draft pick and looked like a nice ascending young player as recently as 2019.
  17. Lineup from randomly chosen day in May, compare it to now: 1) Wong 2) Cain 3) Vogelbach 4) Shaw 5) Garcia 6) Bradley 7) Reyes 8) Maile 9) Peralta
  18. No. He can be drafted again next year. No one can sign him now.
  19. Yep, even well-run organizations miss from time to time. It does appear we missed badly with Bickford. Hurts a little more for all that we invested in him and as you said lose him for Godley. Not guaranteed he'd be replicating his success here though. The Dodgers may have seen/found something with Bickford that we weren't able to unlock. Sometimes that happens, and sometimes it happens the other way around.
  20. Packers have acquired CB Isaac Yiadom from the Giants. He's not great. Depth, I guess.
