Re: Brewers/Pirates Series
Baseball is also pretty much the most "you are who your record says you are" sport there is. Like, how many 100-win seasons did the Dodgers have only to constantly get bounced in the playoffs early prior to last season? The idea that certain teams/players are better equipped for the playoffs is nonsensical in a sport where just getting to the playoffs is more than half the battle.

Re: Brewers/Pirates Series
I'll raise my hand and admit that while I find this run thrilling, I'm still going to approach the team with some skepticism come playoff time. Not because I don't think they can win it all. But because we've been burned many times before and we've got several guys outperforming expectations.

Yah. As fun as this is...im not allowing myself to believe anything about the playoffs until it happens.humanrefutation wrote:I'll raise my hand and admit that while I find this run thrilling, I'm still going to approach the team with some skepticism come playoff time.

Re: Brewers/Pirates Series
Woodruff pulled after 65 pitches is interesting.
            
                                    
                                    I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Every dude on this roster. Ortiz is up to .230. He was like. 180 at the break.

Re: Brewers/Pirates Series
Is Woodruff ok?  I didn't have the sound on and they were showing him a bunch after that play at first to end the 4th.

Hope Woody's okay.  Miller is tossing batting practice out there.

Re: Brewers/Pirates Series
have all relief pitcher deadline pickups sucked throughout the league?
