    for now, at least it does sound super sexy to give them a taste and then beat them when it actually matters

    exactly! I just can't figure out how that happened given our run differential and the fact that they traded for jonathan schoop! it's really not fair if you think about it, they should have awarded us the division based on what we presumed our team would be based on our midseason run differential. The Brewers absolutely earned this, there is nothing unfair about it. This really has little to do with us and everything to do with the Brewers. We ended up about where we should’ve. A ~85 win team got really hot, congrats on being right and happy about that happening. lol even in defeat you just can't help yourself

    i was so deseprate pre-theo that i would have accepted a 2016 WS win and then every single player dying publicly

    my point all along has been that it is probably not safe to write the brewers off at every turn because they are a good team. they made a bunch of middling mid-season moves that accomplished nothing and guess what happened anyway? They went on a ridiculously improbable run to win the division that their underlying talent wouldn’t have predicted? exactly!

    being extremely right does take a bit of the edge off

    how do some teams draft pitchers at the end of the first round and get dudes who have three plus pitches and throw 99 and we get alex horsefeathering lange lmao We turned ours in to Quintana awww horsefeathers that's right

    you should write front page articles Jonathan Villar was worth 1.3 WAR for the Orioles. Jonathan Schoop was worth -0.4 WAR for the Brewers. Is this you proving me wrong? Would you like me to start digging up posts from you during the 2016 NLCS? my point all along has been that it is probably not safe to write the brewers off at every turn because they are a good team. they made a bunch of middling mid-season moves that accomplished nothing and guess what happened anyway?

    Was wondering about that. Thanks for making me feel better. in my cherry-picked extremely meaningful stat that I need to make me feel secure tonight, i see on BR that Lester has a .605 career ERA against the Rockies. I can't see any way this dominance doesn't continue.

    horsefeathers now they're going to lose the efficiency olympics too? That's kinda what people judge at the deadline. It is pretty obvious they were going to be buyers and improve their team like nearly every contender did. I think they did the worst job at it this year. you should write front page articles

    Just thought I would open this thread up to a random midseason page and it did not disappoint.

    Missiles left and right Yeah he was full-out Cubs Q. The only reason the PC was low was because he was giving up ropes early in the count that we’re going right to guys

    lol if you want to mistake "calmly" dismissing the brewers viability as a division opponent for 5 months as analysis, be my guest. I think we can line our posts up on the topic and let history judge that one. Again, no one, not even me of all people, was "freaking out in horsefeathering june." I was trying to explain to people like you that despite allllll the built-in benefits we go into the season with, the margin between what we were at that point in the season and what the brewers were at that point is the season was not wide enough for all the dismissive bragging. It's a lovely story but you keep leaving out the part where you blinked, apologized to Duke and jinxed the season. Imagine how obnoxious my crowing would be had I not made that post.

    Especially when every post season pitching acquisition is injured or terrible. Pretty sure Theo would kill for a postseason pitching acquisition right now i actually weirdly had a dream last night that Jesus Aguilar hit a missile in the first inning against us today to dead center that was fielded by a player in a Reds uniform. the announcers brushed it off by saying they didn't have time to get him a cubs uniform since theo had only traded for him earlier in the game.

    our offense is so hot and cold that this seems like a pretty good outcome? Lefty on short rest in his first-ever big game against a team that just got their cold game out of their system and is loaded with experience.

    I'd really like to see one of your posts that was this rational and used actual logic instead of just lashing out in anger. We can all agree on that. And, yes, the Cubs having more talent and the best record in the NL meant they should have won the division. They didn't. We all know sometimes it doesn't happen. But usually it does. That's why we weren't freaking out in horsefeathering June. lol if you want to mistake "calmly" dismissing the brewers viability as a division opponent for 5 months as analysis, be my guest.

    Schwarber did not shorten the lineup..hell his OPS of .826 was just under Rizzos. Russell collapsing, Bryants injury, and Willy falling off a map is what hurt the offense. I highly suspect Willy has been playing with a ton of injuries. Whenever anyone points to Schwarber's numbers, I go looking for numbers that show that he's really actually awful and I can't. They are solid numbers, but from just watching the games it feels like Schwarber is a giant black hole in the lineup. Maybe its because he has done historically bad in high leverage situations, but I can't remember the last time I thought 'oh good Schwarber is up', unless its a big situation where we need him to dong and I know he has the ability to do so although he never does. he had like a 33 percent K rate in the second half. With the way teams shift on him he has to strike out waaaay less than that or just hit a lot of bombs to be much of an offensive factor. Otherwise you see lines like his second half line — good ISOP, good ISOD, but overall dragged down because he's striking out or hitting ground outs to short RF 70 percent of the time.

    now that i'm calming down my hopes are rising again. Just win tomorrow, steal the Brewers defensive cheat codes, and then take it game by game in the NLDS maybe im just being a hopeless idiot here but i feel pretty good about matching up with them in an actual series?
