    Are we certain the Dodgers didn't trade for the Cubs bullpen before this series?

    As I said, probably knew this last month and forgot.

    I'm old, probably knew this last month and forgot.

    Thanks wasn't aware there's a Marlins Man.
  5. gflore34
    Okay, someone please explain the two patrons in matching orange Marlins' gear behind home plate. I don't get it.

    This + being PO'ed Bagent was incapable of taking advantage of the many openings vs. the MFing Packers. Hopefully, Caleb is one of those guys who plays better when he's angry.
  7. gflore34
    There's a really good chance it was a one-off due to QB ineptitude, the Packers appeared to be world beaters largely because Bagent made it easier.
  8. gflore34
    Oh, I think he knows, it's just not cheap or within the realm of his ever constant search for value.
  9. gflore34
    Forgot about this aspect. There's also a physical limit on how hard one is able throw a baseball as well.

    To the pitching scientists - With velocity becoming more common, I believe, sooner or later, hitters are going adjust and start to hit it hard. What will be next?
  11. gflore34
    Fair enough. I think to assume the Brewers will experience nothing but developmental success while, at the same time, assuming the opposite of the Cubs is incorrect.
  12. gflore34
    Perhaps true, what's to keep the Cubs from developing pitching? Can't that happen? Or is it only the Brewers? I'd like to give the Cubs last draft some time before I condemn it and the Cubs as failures.

    It appears to me Contreras has stepped up the obnoxiousness, he's going out of his way to be a demonstrative a**hole. Yesterday, Snell blows him away and he stars down Snell walking back to the dugout. Why? I don't recall him doing this nonsense in the regular season.
  14. gflore34
    Caleb going automatically boosts the offense, he doesn't or won't continually miss open receivers, people don't realize what a trip back to the cave man days was last Sunday. It was the same old tried story vs. the Packers, Bears' incompetence at QB = Packers looking far better than they actually are and easily winning.

    Brewers are very good. Dodgers are also old and broken, this is the beginning of the end for them.
  16. gflore34
    Big factor is Ohtani, it's pretty obvious he's still hurting, really, a shell of himself. If I'm looking correctly he hasn't hit an HR in nearly a month - 8/18 at Colorado - don't believe he has an extra base hit this series. In fact he has 3 singles thus far in the PS.

    Regarding Skubal, I was taking it as an almost a given he'd sign with the Dodgers after their WS parade. However, given the now very real possibility the Dodgers are going to be swept out of the NLCS along with their championship window starting to close. I'm not so certain. Though, I think a safe assumption he's looking for big years and money.
  18. gflore34
    My question is how to adjust to essentially being down a defender in the secondary? Given Johnson cannot cover anyone I'd have to assume the Falcons are going to attempt the same things as the Packers. Is a going to a zone an answer? Somehow sending help Jaylon' way on passing downs?
  19. gflore34
    If Caleb' back Roschon will be far more effective, he sucks and all, but, people are discounting the fact the Bears had no semblance of an NFL QB last Sunday. Without a threat at QB it becomes a whole lot of a horsefeathers easier to defend everyone else.
  20. gflore34
    Austin Booker is still around and he's probably their best pass rusher.
  21. gflore34
    Caleb coming back will help to make Roschon more effective. While I do believe the Bears should have kept running at GB, even with Roschon, the Packers lack of respect for Bagent greatly help their effectiveness on defense.
  22. gflore34
    I had the same thoughts, most especially, when he was out most of the second half.
  23. gflore34
    Watched some of the Bills-Rams last night, I didn't see Adams or Nacua creating big separation, they're not speed merchants either, Rome might faster than them and might be more physically gifted. Biggest difference - they catch the horsefeathers ball.
  24. gflore34
    Caught that, very sharp.
  25. gflore34
    Happens to all teams, they're human and mistake prone. From playing sports personal experience can't tell you how may times I failed to execute the simplest of things, something I've literally done 100 or more times consecutively. Yet, on that 101st time, blah, complete horsefeathers up. Of course, with Rome, I could overlook such a horsefeathers up, if he mostly caught all other targets. But, he doesn't, all his problems stem from an inability to catch the ball, which is frustrating and makes that instance more egregious.
