10/2/18 NL WILD CARD Rockies (Freeland) @ CLERBS (Lester) 7:00 CST ESPN

Changes will definitely be made and additions and subtractions needed but this sport is so weird and unpredictable I think this is really a horsefeathers happens year more than anything. When you make the playoffs every year you’re likely not getting the wanted outcome in this mostly stupid sport.

 

 

Being held to 1 run or less runs 40 or whatever the horsefeathers times seems like a statiscal anomaly, it won't happen again.

Rizzo didn't exactly give Chili Davis an endorsement there, when asked about whether the team got away from their approach of using the whole field - "If I hit the ball to left field, it's an accident."

Take your pick

i give them credit for the 95 wins and having a great season, but i don't really think that roster deserves to win a world series, and it would be annoying to see them do it

People still won't face the fact the Brewers are good

 

i've been like the leader of the "actually, the brewers are good" brigade for like 5 months

 

 

They are good however, do really believe their starting pitching is going to be good enough to win a WS?

Brewers fans are likely Packers fans. So I wish no success for them.

They don't have any Klubers, granted, but Cleveland came within like a quarter of a second on Kipnis' swing against Chapman of winning the title with essentially 1 starter.

Why am I so pissed? I shouldn’t be. I knew we were smoke and mirrors garbage. This is the most unenjoyable 95 win team I could ever imagine.

Kris Bryant says his shoulder is "great". Let's hope he is just trying to avoid making excuses.

yeah, they all got dickish and entitled. go back and do the hard work and realize that other teams are going after the same thing that you're going after. they acted like the division title was pre-ordained to go to the cubs.

I want his shoulder to be awful right now or we are fucked.

Bryant would never say it if his shoulder was actually a problem.

 

But if this is what he is from now on then yeah, we're toast.

I believe he's trying to avoid making excuses, he's going to come back with a vengeance in 2019.

I’m sure they did zero hard work this year

First goal of the offseason is to hear he didn’t have a surgery in the next ~4 weeks

I have a feeling that Maddon is gone. There are a lot of reasons to think his job is safe, but I just got a feeling.

There’s an opening with the Angels...

[r_mack]

If Maddon leaves, the Cubs instantly downgrade at the position even if it's Girardi. It's nothing anyone should hope for. It's a miracle this team managed to win 95 games and some of that was Maddon.

"even if it's girardi"

well, that's one way to look at it.

Unless its injury, players as good and young as Kris Bryant don't instantly become medicore to bad, Cub or no Cub. This is an overaction, I looked at Bryant' stats - he's really, really good - without question he played hurt this season. It was evident today, look at his follow through on his swing.

Why do we care about the Brewers winning the World Series? That'd be an amazing baseball story. Better them than the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers.

horsefeathers the Brewers and their fat ass and self righteous fans

It is also a bad look on a front office that had a historically bad offseason. This year is on them as much as anyone else. Maddon is certainly not without fault, but it isn't fair to make him the scapegoat.
