    I'm a sliver surprised about not sniffing the Top 25 after three nice wins in the B1G.

    I could see at the top of the screen he was sprinting down the sideline at the snap.

    The ball is placed 25 yards from the kick scrimmage. The KO was from the 50 after the penalty.

    It was a good ride while it lasted. I wonder if they'll have to play in Miami or AAA Jacksonville?

    From a probability standpoint: Take the eight series (excluding 1982), then the expectancy would be 4.25 pennants (vs actual 8) and 3.125 WS championships (vs 5 actual). Don't ask me to calculate the odds of current reality happening.

    Before Game 3, the Brewers were 94-3 when the win probability exceeded 90%. To have just three gut wrenching losses over a season is quite exceptional. That makes Thursday night harder to digest. The fangraphs' box score had Williams at -0.85 and Alonso at +0.56. Cannot remember the last thing seeing numbers like that. I've never been keen to the idea of having four different guys pitch the last four innings. Just increases the chances of one guy screwing up. Forty years ago, Rollie would have pitched three innings in a game like this. But that is how baseball is played now. I get it. The discussion at work this morning is 1) let Peralta pitch the ninth or 2) pull Williams after two batters. But I understand Murphy's thinking. This game reminds me of 2019 against the Nationals (although the Brewers were underdogs in that one). Both three rounds removed from the WS, so either exit doesn't pain me as much as the rest of the posters. Williams reminds me of Hader, just doesn't give that warm fuzzy feeling. Seems to me they are either on, or you can tell within the first two batters disaster is about to happen. Agree with the above poster about Megill, someone with a bulldog mindset/personna. On edit: a silver lining, if any, is that when I'm in Florida the last week of the month, I can enjoy my vacation and not be in agony about missing the first WS in 42 years. Going forward, no vacations mid-Sept to end-Oct.

    The odds of having two or fewer out of nine on coin flips is 9.0%

    A take from the 1982 film, the Brewers were gassed flying in to Anaheim and played flat the first two games. Things were happening so quickly.
  9. Jimbo
    For some teams, ahem, a seven-point difference could be considered a two-possession game.
  10. Jimbo
    Move the games to Milwaukee.

    Having been born in 1966, and watched the game on 3 October 1982 with nervous anticipation, and having watched the 1982 film this past weekend, I do not take what happened yesterday for granted.

    IIRC, the last everyday SS immediately prior to Yount.

    Not a fan of shotgun on 4th-and-1. Got really tired of that Ingrim guy, more so than Gus Johnson.

    OFF: P Rob Zastryzny, 60-day IL ON: P Enoli Paredes, activated The 40-man roster is full.

    Nobody ever talks about how 1982 could have played out if he was healthy and DH'ing.

    Browsing the results, I came across Deanna Favre's name. She crossed the finish line with 16 minutes to spare before the cutoff. I didn't see any media hype regarding her being in town.

    Still adapting to the relaxing of the NFL uniform number rule. RB is #8, K is #44, LB #7. Akin to watching NFL Films from the 60's.

    Lincoln Park/Zoo cannot be that far away(?)

    I had to look at your list, but I know the three, and I can't be much younger than you.

    Final Observations: Americans never had a chance in volleyball against ITA. Kat Plummer's serve receive reminded me of when her Stanford team came to Madison in 2016 and everyone thought that was something the Badgers could exploit, but in the end the Badgers lost in 5 in the Regional Final. If the French women had someone who could shoot a three, the Americans would have been in trouble. The women's marathon had five big names and three of them were together with 1 km to go. Sifan Hassan's efforts were amazing. When I did a marathon, two days out was a complete rest day. Hassan raced and medaled two days out. NCAA D2 walk-on Dakota Lindwurm places 12th. Gotta love it.

    Nothing much more to add here. Gabby Thomas is one of my favorites. Neurobiology from Harvard. A well-spoken person. Hard not to root for. I was unaware of Kenny Bednarek while he was in high school. Must have dominated NW Wisconsin. Sometimes it's about who is NOT in the room. No mentioning of Athing Mu (800m) nor Mariya Lasitskene (high jump). John Anderson doing T&F on peacock, still waiting to hear his usual Wisconsin references. Lauren Carlini and Dana Rettke playing for volleyball gold Sunday 6 am. Two marathon races televised live the next two nights at 1 am. Who's with me?

    Possibly some out-of-town consulting group?

    Sunday's observations: Gold medal match in archery. The American and Korean hit 10's the final three shots to force one shot winner-take-all. The Korean is 5 mm closer to bullseye. Their heart bpm ~90, these guys need to hit the cardio. The Canadian hammer thrower is a dead ringer for David Crosby. Crosby may have had gold records, but not a gold medal. Women's high jump - Ukranian Yaraslova Mahuchikh wins gold, in part due to the defending champion is Russian and not there. Karma. 100m - my wife and I thought Thompson won it. Surprised to see Lyles with the win. Not a big Lyles fan, but I guess he's good for the sport. Some are calling it the best race ever. Monday's observations: Didn't watch anything on NBC, all on peacock (replay) as soon as I got home. W 5000 had several giants of the sport. One gets DQ'd and stripped of silver. Pole Vault - my highlight so far. Watching on peacock, they showed everything. The running events long completed, yet no one left the stadium. There just to watch one person only, and Mondo did not disappoint. Representing Sweden, of course the stadium plays "Dancing Queen" while he celebrates his WR. Makes my peacock subscription worth it.
