I had no idea what to write about this plane crash of a game, which by the end felt like a historical watershed moment. So I wrote about the Brewers' bullpen, their clubhouse bumper pool table, and acting like you've been there before when you haven't actually been there before

blogs.fangraphs.comOn, Wisconsin: Brewers Jolt Dodgers To Take 2-0 NLCS LeadThis felt like something different, like a statement. In the press box, in the stands, in the cinder block corridors of the stadium basement. Everywhere but in the Brewers’ clubhouse.

The last time the Padres & Brewers played a series, Milwaukee lost late leads in two games and got blown out in the other. Jake Bauers said everybody needed to “chill the [bleep] out.” Then the Brewers took off. Previewing NLDS Game 1 with AJ Cassavel: www.mlb.com/news/padres-...

Logan Henderson has now tied Zac Gallen for the longest streak of starts allowing 3 or fewer runs to begin a career in Major League Baseball since 1893 (23). 13 of those starts have been 0 or 1 run.

Do I have anyone in my friends/colleagues network that would consider themselves adept/advanced with DaVinci Resolve workflows related to motion graphics? I would love to get some 1-on-1 time to talk through my use cases and get some direct guidance. Will pay for your time.

Pete Crow-Armstrong has faced 28 teams and 286 pitchers in 22 stadiums so far this season, which isn't over yet Joe DiMaggio faced 7 teams and 321 pitchers in 9 stadiums in his entire (regular season) career, which spanned 13 seasons between 1936-1951. It's a different sport now.

As a former professional football player, I can confidently say that this essay is incorrect from every conceivable angle, and contributes heavily to the culture of toxic masculinity that still infests high schools and colleges across the country.

Yet another issue where every single person who touched it needs to end up in jail for us to have any semblance of the rule of law. You cannot have a functional democracy where the government creates a plan to literally throw away votes from places that don't support the incumbent party.

My 72 mother-in-law sent me a video message asking what is the deal with "this Smoltz guy". She said he was talking and she didn't have a clue what he was talking about. I told her to not worry, she's not the problem there.

Dodger fans crashing out and talking about missing the playoffs (lol) is a great reminder that baseball will baseball for everyone and that you can’t build a perfectly unbeatable team even if you’re smarter and richer than everyone. That’s what makes it the best sport, and the most frustrating.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

1) I’m shocked their floor and cap are within 100M. 2) The idea that they’ll actually get the big markets to truly share all local media is laughably insane. 3) watch that bit about being willing to negotiate changes to FA and Arb. That is where the Brewers will get SCREWED.

If the season ended today the division winners would rank #2, 6, 8, 26, 28 and 30th in payroll. The wildcard winners would rank #3, 10, 17, 19, 24 and 27th. The #1, 4, 5, 7, 9 payrolls are all under .500. Please tell me more about how payroll is destiny in MLB.

There had been 3 fastballs by a starting pitching at 103+ mph *total* in the pitch tracking era (since 2008). One belonged to Jacob Misiorowski. Miz just threw seven. In the first inning alone.
