  1. Carroll is a beast
  2. Kudos to the Brewers for not caving under the pressure of facing Brandon Pfadt in a critical game
  3. 33,000 fans poured into Coors to watch the 103-loss Rockies final game of the season. 19,000 fans made an appearance to watch the Rays first postseason game today.
  4. Not sure I will ever be comfortable with him in a 2 minute offense to lead a GW. His career 4th quarter numbers are unbelievbly bad. 48 rating when trailing and less than 2 min/ 2:6 with 8 sacks. 14 of his 26 career picks are in the 4th.
  5. Blah, we still had every chance to win the series in ATL
  6. Happy has definitely closed the season strong FWIW
  7. You're absolutely right about that. Let's hope Johnson excels at both.
  8. Hmm, this helps explain some of Brennen's back trouble 😜 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get-small-hundreds-of-minor-leaguers-have-shrunk/
  9. It wasn't just better, it was nearly 3 yards better last year. Herbert is far better for those stretch runs. I like how Monty absorbs contact and keeps moving but he lacks explosiveness; I don't think that can be debated. Obviously there's a lot more season to go but he's never cracked 4.3 in his entire career.
  10. I think he does have his finger on the pulse better than most others. He seems to recognize the potential breaking point sooner and gets his guys out of there when he feels hitters are getting a bead on the starter. He doesn't manage as if he expects his starter to escape an inning; he cuts off the momentum with a sub. I think he manages his staff excellently. Yes he has had some incredible arms as well, but I give him a lot of credit for his button-pushing also.
  11. I don't feel like parsing it and maybe there's an easier way I am not aware of to accomplish it, but I'd be interested in seeing what the Brewers record has been in 1-run games since 2017.
  12. It would have been from the 30 to the 30 and I hope you are better at counting than that. You don't have to exaggerate so much and put words in my mouth to belittle my point. It would have taken a great throw but it was doable. Fields is the type that can make those off-platform throws. If Mooney had some horsefeathers awareness it would have been a 30 yard pass (35 to the 35) that probably a dozen QBs in the league could make.
  13. Seems like that Little guy should have been utilized more as the rest of the bullpen was dying. FU Ross.
  14. He could make that throw from ~33 to the Chiefs 35 or so if Mooney stopped running laterally-upfield, which was the whole point.
  15. Dude what? At the 7-8 second mark Mooney is 40 yards away, Fields has 5 yards on the pursuing defender, and if he squares up and Mooney comes back to the ball that's a 30 yard air throw and not all that difficult to make.
  16. Dude I'm talking the whole time about Mooney not breaking back but that Fields still could have hit him at the :7 mark. Definitely not throwing to Moore.
  17. Now that I see it's Moore in the foregorund you can see how dejected he looks. But Fields is looking at Mooney and expecting him to break back to the ball. Should have been a decent completion. Even without Mooney doing that, at the :7 mark Fields had an opportunity for a big pass. Just couldn't pull the damn trigger, as always.
  18. Can't wait til we learn the sophisticated sign-stealing system they're using a few years from now. Oh hey there's 30 year old Orlando Arcia hitting a career-high in HR and Ronald Acuna cutting his career K% in half. Rest is overrated.
  19. This is trait that all receivers should have and doubly so when your QB often leaves the box.
  20. That deep receiver, if he had started coming back to the ball instead of drifting slightly upfield, may have opened a nice window to throw. Was that Moore? You see your QB scrambling for his life - start running back to the ball and make a play.
