5 mil a year for Lovie. I know coaches usually deserve 1 full recruiting cycle but, they would be justified if they canned him. Appears they gotten it wrong in BB as well, just sad, they've been surpassed by Northwestern (in BB as well, long surpassed in FB).
-
Awesome MSU!!! Love seeing Penn State go down!!!
-
Given how they've been playing with every move working to perfection can you blame him?
-
They've only 6 SR on the whole roster, I know playing all the FR will payoff at some point but, it is Illinois and Lovie Smith.
-
I despise Penn State, shouldn't have a football program at all. I know Franklin wasn't there and its irrational but, I loathe him.
-
Isn't Counsell himself an example of a crappy hitter who had a hot streak during the playoffs? By the way, I'm shocked the Dodgers managed to get a run, thought DP for certain after the Puig K.
-
That happens often in the playoffs some random otherwise bad player gets on a hot streak. He'll go back to being a terrible hitter next season.
-
First HR off a SP all year Smoltz just mentioned, by the way, that's probably the ball game. What's Miley' status for next season? I hope the Brewers get duped by this hot streak and add him to their rotation in 2019.
-
Man, Gio in game 1 and Miley in game 2. How did these losers reach the NLCS. The Dodgers are going to destroy them. They’re destined to just keep winning despite it making no sense. No reason to think otherwise. Starting a guy with the 4th worst BB%, 20th worst FIP, and 10th worst xFIP in MLB of qualified starters this year will somehow work out for them tomorrow same with starting Wade Miley Saturday who was nearly out of baseball going in to the year. But, but, they're soo good, Gio and Miley are solid starters, luck, etc. is a non-factor.
-
Without question they're better than the Cubs this season (what a stretch), doesn't mean the Cubs done. I've stated it before but, I believe we're going to see a big time bounce back from the Cubs in 2019, which sounds kind of strange given they won 95 in one fucked up, bad luck kind of season this year.

Well there's Great Lakes Brewing plus the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... Had friends that lived in Cleveland during college. Visited them for a weekend, spent the day at Great Lakes, had a great time. Went back the next year, asked what the plans were. "Well...how about Great Lakes?" Met some people from Cleveland this summer, nice people, raved about Great Lakes, can't say I blame them - Edmund Fitzgerald Porter is amongst best Porters I've ever had.
-
Most importantly, they still have to live in Cleveland. Well there's Great Lakes Brewing plus the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

3 in a row for the Lions over the Packers, watched most of the game yesterday, Rodgers fumbled twice, lost one, came close to throwing a pick. Overall, despite throwing for 400+ yards, looked less than an awesome Super QB, was waiting for him to come up with a spectacular 4th quarter comeback never happened. Maybe, these days, he saves that only for the Bears. It would be great to see the Bears beat him and Packers down in December, based upon what I saw yesterday coupled with an improving Bears team, I think there's a chance.
-
Sounds good.
-
You're correct but, I do believe we're going to see and hear quite a bit how much better the Brewers are than Cubs, etc. going into next season.
-
Hell, I hope they win the WS, while a good team they've had an incredible number of things work out perfectly - Wade Miley? Are you kidding me? I hope Brewers fans appreciate what's happening because, there's a slim to none chance it'll happen again in their lifetime. It'll be fun next pre-season-season when everyone dismisses the Cubs and talks Brewers, Brewers while the Cubs quietly get healthy, sign Harper and blow away the NL Central.
-
As you alluded to the Cubs are stuck with him, relative to his statistics he was historically bad last this season. Wouldn't be surprised if bounces back with at least an average season, for him, which would a marked improvement. Darvish, Chatwood and Morrow all blew up this season, I think its a pretty safe bet one of them will have a good 2019.
-
Being held to 1 run or less runs 40 or whatever the horsefeathers times seems like a statiscal anomaly, it won't happen again. A statistical anomaly is definitely not 25% Ok, bet you $1.00 it doesn't happen next season.
-
That is terrifying 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. 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.
-
That is terrifying I believe he's trying to avoid making excuses, he's going to come back with a vengeance in 2019.
-
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?

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 Their bullpen may be WS caliber, starters not, what'll probably happen, if they go far, is bullpen will be over used. Eventually costing them.
-
Thanks. It's fair to not understand it, but I just got really fatigued with this season. I just was not at all enjoying any of this. There were seasons when Sammy was on roids and hitting 60 dongs and we didn't go to the playoffs that were a lot more fun. And that's crazy to say. I accept being judged for this and also ridiculed. I'm just being honest with how I feel. Imagine taking this (and adding in that this was a 95 win team) and sending it to youself in 2012 or something. I honestly thing a lot of the doom and gloomers here enable each other and make things out to be horrific all the time. Now, September and everything after it was disgusting, but this team is still pretty damn good. I hope we get Harper and non-dumb managers and coaches out of this. Without question, I strongly suspect they'll heal in the offseason, make some moves and fly under the radar so to speak while everyone else goes gaga over the Brewers in 2019. Then come on to blow the NL Central away.

Yes but, what can one do when you've got to get a shoutout to win? This no hitting in post season [expletive] is growing tiresome, shouldn't be happening as often as it has.
