    UCLA is just moving the ball at will against Penn State. What on earth is going on today
  2. Derwood
    At least I have the 0-4 UCLA Bruins driving down the field for a score against my Nittany Lions to distract me

    This feels like one of my son's travel softball games (when his coach played them up a level higher than they could handle)

    1-2-3 inning incoming

    Brewers are going to smoke us and then get swept by LA or Philly, mark my words
  7. Derwood
    Smoking doubles, blooping singles, seeing eye ground balls, errors from gold glovers....you know, typical game
  8. Derwood
    Clearly

    Fucking batting practice out there

    Nah, he was incredible at Wrigley and we wouldn't have made the playoffs without him. But starting him today (on the road, short rest, against a team he sucks against) was monumentally stupid

    Just waiting for the Penn State game to start
  12. Derwood
    does he, though?

    But Boyd said he was ready to go!
  16. Derwood
    Boyd has nothing. Start up the pen

    Assad left off roster is a head scratcher

    Umps show up the players all the time. They also have a union that complete insulates them from any criticism. They can pound sand.
  19. Derwood
    Umps were being snowflakes thinking that a batter tapping his helmet was a signal that the call was wrong
  20. Derwood
    There was an ump early in the season who pre-warned both teams about not tapping their helmets during the game (or he would insta-toss them). He went on to miss 22 calls in that game and over 1200 for the season
  21. Derwood
    Of course! Jamo would probably be starting Game 1 on Saturday had Horton been available last series
  22. Derwood
    Had Horton been healthy, he would have already pitched in the SD series, so we would be getting just the one LDS start out of him regardless

    Miller's effectiveness is, in part, that hitters have to either sell out on 103 or sit back on 87, but can't, in real time, adjust to both. And if they can't even catch up to 103 to start with, they are toast before the at bat starts
  24. Derwood
    I feel like the Mason Miller approach is best. 100+ fastball vs a high-80's slider. I don't get the "everything is thrown top velocity" idea. Why is a 90mph curve more effective than a 79 mph curve? Isn't the greater difference in velocity best for keeping hitters off balance? Or is that a 90mph pitch isn't expected to move that much?
  25. Derwood
    Counsell is going to ride his starting hitters all postseason long. I think guys like Castro or Mo are rarely (if ever) going to see playing time. Swapping a bat for an arm makes perfect sense
