    And that Counsell would yank the lefty
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Great call Ross lol
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    You're absolutely right about that. Let's hope Johnson excels at both.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    Hmm, this helps explain some of Brennen's back trouble 😜 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get-small-hundreds-of-minor-leaguers-have-shrunk/

    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.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    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.

    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.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    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.

    Seems like that Little guy should have been utilized more as the rest of the bullpen was dying. FU Ross.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    He could make that throw from ~33 to the Chiefs 35 or so if Mooney stopped running laterally-upfield, which was the whole point.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    You should read threads before posting
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    This is trait that all receivers should have and doubly so when your QB often leaves the box.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    This is what I feel like I have seen since the Mets series, with a few exceptions. It feels like that was the tipping point for the offense.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I would have voted for a different position player, probably PCA or Alcantara
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    That was so much worse for me because we still had most of our horses IIRC and were firmly in our championship window. They still felt like a team that could compete in the postseason. This years team had too many critical injuries to the pen that a couple weeks ago I started to lose that "well anything can happen in October" feeling. This years offense struggled like horsefeathers when teams cut the four seams and started cutting and sinking more. Our guys got shut down by a string of friggin nobodies that the rest of the league treated like nobodies.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    He just averaged 32 mpg with a 59% TS at 33 years old. Did I miss some mysterious tweet or something?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/mike-trout-is-probably-staying-in-anaheim/ What would make it a route you wish the Cubs would take? I personally have a really hard time seeing Trout not far surpassing those ZiPS. No way do I see him as a 110 hitter in 5 years. Maybe I'm blind but I think he's safely a 140-150 hitter over the next 5, but how much he plays is the hang-up. Would you trade PCA, Alcantara, or Shaw for him if he comes with $7/150?
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Trade Williams and picks for Holliday
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Who cares
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Of all the things to complain about lol
