    Which is worse? A position player pitching for the Dodgers or Little for the Jays?

    Lauer with nerves of steel

    This game is baseball at its finest. Just perfection.

    I find it hard to believe that most of Toronto's key postseason role players are any better than our guys. They have a bunch of career .700 OPS guys who all got hot at the same time and are OPSing 1.000 in the postseason...Ernie Clement, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes etc. Even IKF and Andres Gimenez have been serviceable. And then you top it off with their stars putting up star-like numbers and you have the recipe for a ring. Same thing happened to the Braves when they won it all a couple years ago. Seattle almost beat Toronto while getting essentially nothing offensively from their role players. The difference between us and Seattle was that Seattle at least got big contributions from their star players (and their deadline acquisitions wink wink nudge nudge). We were dependent on an injured Chourio, got middling numbers from Contreras, and nothing from Yelich.

    Some of the stuff that they allow prop bets on is just asking for scandals. Only the stupid ones get caught where tens of thousands of dollars are involved. There are surely many others winning smaller sums for their buddies. It’s so easy to do in these leagues like the NBA and MLB where the regular seasons is a slog and individual players can easily have a “off night”.

    I can’t believe this is considered acceptable. How have heads not rolled yet?

    Starting pitching highly favors the Dodgers. Offense slightly favors the Blue Jays, especially bottom of the order. Star power is probably a wash. Both bullpens stink. Dodgers in 6

    I don't know enough about what Mac is doing behind the scenes right now to judge whether he should be fired or not. I only assume that the Fickell succession plan is already well underway. If it isn't, then he should be gone ASAP.

    Heavily promoting from within is a smart business strategy from Attanasio that has served us well as a defense from the high attrition rates that would be expected when the bigger markets come calling for our FO talent.

    Hopefully the lesson has been learned twice now that outsider "rising star" type football coaches are not going to succeed at Wisconsin. I feel for the next guy. He's likely going to be a Brady Hoke type, getting underpaid for an impossible job that will satisfy nobody.

    I should have clarified that I was referring to my personal experience of witnessing it during a time period when I was a fan of the team. I know 1982 has significance for many on this forum but for me it means the same as 1957 or any other event that happened before I was born.

    I think I had moved on from the Brewers before the series was even over. Didn’t even watch the Ohtani game after seeing they were down 3-0 in the 1st. Honestly though, the Mariners got over a big hurdle this year by finally overcoming the Astros and their run of always missing the playoffs by one game. The Tigers series was a total toss up that ended with an all-time classic. You just never know when you’ll be back though.

    I’m just devastated. It felt like the stars had aligned this year and at least one of the Brewers or Mariners would finally win a pennant.

    I only check this thread now to see if they fired him yet. Maybe tomorrow.

    That was a pretty special moment. I was not at the game but my buddy texted me a video and it looked like pandemonium. Bit bittersweet for me with what’s happening to the Brewers but the same fate likely awaits the AL winner.

    What's the max pitch count for Miz today???
  17. owbc
    It's easy to complain about Ortiz' bat and then he makes a play like that look routine.
  18. owbc
    If it wasn't for Miz this team would probably be in the offseason already.
  19. owbc
    Impressive play
  20. owbc
    Turns out we just needed to close our eyes when swinging while staring at the sun.
  21. owbc
    Yeah shove it Dodgers, we can hit triples too.
  22. owbc
    Now copy the Blue Jays and hang a crooked number
  23. owbc
    You would have to be crazy to go to Wisconsin at this time if you are good enough to have other options. At least go somewhere where the coach will bother to learn your name.

    There are a LOT of complaints about start times out here. Tonight’s 5:30 pm start time is the latest that the Mariners have gotten so far in the playoffs. Tomorrow will either be the pivotal game to break a 2-2 tie or a potential pennant clincher and it starts at 3 pm. I get that the eastern time zone opponent doesn’t want to start at 9 pm but it sucks from the perspective of not getting a super rowdy night game home crowd.

    Nobody is losing money. The Marlins fielded a team of entirely players making league minimum salary and have virtually no fans or interest in what should be one of the biggest baseball markets in the US. The A's and Rays are playing in minor league stadiums. The Pirates haven't cared about winning for decades. All of these teams are doing fine financially. The revenue sharing that we have now only perpetuates this problem, since all you have to do to make a profit is keep your payroll down and MLB will write you a check for $50 million every year. The Brewers are beneficiaries of this system, along with every other team that has ownership and management that is competent and cares about winning. We do not need changes that reward poverty. We need changes that reward smart decision making and winning. We need to ban the financial manipulation that the Dodgers engage in.
