  1. I've seen this argument a lot and it doesn't really make sense. Arcia was a top prospect too. If you're trying to win in the playoffs you go with the guy who is the better player now, as sad as it is, that's Arcia. I'm not arguing against using Arcia over Urias in the playoffs. I'm talking about roster construction moving forward in the future.
  2. Despite the fact that Arcia outperformed him by every measure this year? Uh, yes? You gave up 2 really good pieces for him. He was a top prospect. He's your SS of the future, at least that's the intent right now. Outperforming Urias or not, Arcia still isn't good. You don't give up that kind of return to have him be a future bench piece.
  3. This is going to be a bloodbath. I can't believe Counsell sent Suter back out there. You might as well have him eat up 9 innings at this point.
  4. Assuming we lose this series in 2, I really hope tomorrow is the last day of his Brewer career. I'm not exactly a fan of his but who do you plan to replace him with. The guy you gave up Trent Grisham and Zach Davies for.
  5. Yep. Rick 1, most of the rest of us 0. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-will-allow-fans-to-attend-2020-world-series-nlcs-at-texas-rangers-globe-life-field/
  6. Not as criminal as letting him pitch. Uh huh. Keep banging that drum. There are plenty of bad-to-terrible pitchers on the roster. At least one of the bad-to-terrible pitchers has shown success against many of these Dodgers. Makes no sense at all. Again, unless he's hurt. He has an ERA over 13 this year and is allowing 2 and a half baserunning per inning. Bad to terrible is on a reasonably higher level than what Lauer did this year. I'm sure that probably was part of the decision. Leuer needs a reset, not a competitive game to pitch in. Burnes didn't pitch in the playoff game last year for the same reason. His confidence is likely shot at the moment. His history against LA is not as relevant as his recent results.
  7. When I look at this roster, 3 thoughts come to mind: 1) Woof 2) How did this team make the playoffs? 3) I probably have not given Craig Counsell nearly enough credit.
  8. Could have the Titans and Steelers play Week 7, and move the Steelers/Ravens game originally scheduled for Week 7 to Week 8, where both teams have their bye. Ravens would have their bye Week 7 then. Titans and Steelers would effectively have their bye this week. Yeah that's probably the best way to do it. Not super fair to the Steelers, but that's how it goes these days.
  9. I'm curious to see how they approach making up an NFL game if it is indeed cancelled. It's not like you can push it to the end of the season or have a doubleheader. I guess you could maybe do a Wednesday mid week game but that is far from ideal especially if a team doesn't have a bye week on either side.
  10. Knebel should not be part of any planned Game 1. He should only get in the game if it gets out of hand and you need to eat up some innings, or if you simply run out of other options. I know Corey still has that name recognition but sadly he simply isn't the pitcher we once knew and can't be trusted right now. I don't see Williams entering that early in Game 1 unless we get in a major jam in the middle innings and the game hangs in the balance. But if you pitch him for 2 planned middle innings, you've lost him for Game 2 most likely. Peralta or Houser is most likely following Suter for 2 or 3 innings.
  11. I work 2 to 10 this week. 9 pm start is perfect for me.
  12. Looks like time to cut bait on MVS and Malcolm Brown and see what else I can find on the free agency scrap heap this week. Last week the scrap heap pick up was Mo Alie Cox. Going to hang onto him yet.
  13. I'm still trying to figure out how the Eagles won a Super Bowl a couple years ago.
  14. By really good defense I assume you mean the 49ers as I don't think there is another team in the NFC that fits that definition. If the Packer offense that we've seen so far is the real deal there isn't another defense other than the 49ers in our conference that should be able to keep us out of the 30s. I'll be interested to see how the 49ers defense matches up with all the injuries against a team that isn't a really bad Saquon-less Giants team.
  15. I think there may be a good 10-6 team left out of the playoffs this year, even with 7 teams getting in. Wouldn't break my heart if it happens to be the 49ers.
  16. I'll agree on stopping the Hill stuff, etc., but I think the rest is a bit too forgiving. Part of that is again the poor game plan of the saints, who went 2 to 1 pass to run vs. a poor run defense and with an aging QB. I'm a bit concerned that if a team will commit -- totally commit to running the ball on us, like the 49ers did in the NFC Championship Game, we won't be able to stop it. However that's hopefully where the big improvement in offense will pay off this year and we can take a team out of a game plan like that.
