Top 43 in WAB all got in. No one worse than 46th in WAB received a bid. Please make WAB your main metric you look at when comparing resumes next year please!

That was the third highest adjusted Off efficiency game of the year. Wisconsin with 3 of the top 21 this season.

Purdue has gotten back 12 of their 22 missed shots so far.

Average resume rank (SOR, WAB, and KPI) heading into the day. Two teams directly ahead of Wisconsin took losses and now BYU is down big in first half. Great night for 6 seed chances.

By Gard's biggest weakness is his refusal to play his stars with two fouls in the first half. I'm betting a good portion of this is when the backup bigs get 2 early and he just rides with them

First 100 game score for Wisconsin this year on @barttorvik.bsky.social

@rdtopp.bsky.social on the "Hard Mode" rant on this week's pod. I would actually argue that how the Brewers operate is actually "easy mode". It creates a perpetual high floor with tons of depth and chances every year to make the playoffs and make a run.

How many national writers realize the Brewers would have lost Freddy to free agency last year had they not signed him to pre-Arb extension years ago?

Only *one* Packers run in the second half gained more than a single yard.

The Packers snapped the ball with 44 seconds left picked up 20 yards for a first down to the 23 yards line. They only were able to run 4 plays after this somehow

Not sure how either of those last two layups from Boyd and Cadaeu weren't and ones. Refs just swallowing their whistles this half

We start easy. First team in my #FieldOf68 is the Michigan Wolverines. #LockOfTheDay

Going to post my daily college basketball lock over here as well this season. It's a game I came up with several years ago with a simple goal - "lock" one team every day from now until Selection Sunday and see how many teams I get correct. Last year was a banner year and I went 63/68.

Not sure how much longer he’s gonna be getting minutes

Outscoring a team 109-99 (10% more points) but still losing should be illegal

MLF not using any TO's here is a fireable offense holy cow

If Rapp isn't hitting close to 40% from 3, he is a big negative out there

Lions had a 1st and 10 at the GB 16 with 6:24 left, down 2 scores. They somehow let 3+ min run off the clock and didn’t even get in the end zone

Why exactly is Wisconsin agreeing to play this game in SLC? It’ll show up as a “neutral” game on the tourney resume. If you are gonna play out there at elevation, just play at their place and have it be a road game. Better if you win, not as bad if you lose

Atrocious whistle on Boyd there good lord

Brandon Woodruff has accepted the Brewers qualifying offer, per Jon Heyman.

Wisconsin/Indiana finishing before South Carolina/A&M starts the fourth quarter is hilarious

Kraft is incredible

Every Packer's special teams snap has a 50% chance of being a negative and like 20% chance of being an abject disaster.

Allowing any starter to face this Dodgers' lineup a third time is insane behavior

0-3 on batted balls with at least a .400 xBA tonight including a line out DP on a liner with a .660 xBA. They’ve been bad in lots of other ways this series but this is also an extremely bad string of luck

The LCS started in 1969. Of 224 teams to participate in it since then, Milwaukee's .136 hitting BABIP is ... 224th. Or last. Bad luck, good defense, sure, anything can happen in 3 games. But also shows the perils of relying on batted ball luck to score runs.

Who knew playing guys every day running them into the ground by August would lead to October struggles!

If Glasgow is gonna get first pitches like this called his way, might as well just go home now

The brewers only have 8 ABs with runners in scoring position in the last 4 games. They are 0-8

Tbf, Freddy was honestly pretty lucky to only allow 3 runs in that outing. Hard contact all over

On one hand, those are the types of moments you have to capitalize on to win a pennant. On the other hand, the Brewers were incredibly lucky to even be in the game by the 9th. Dodgers probably should have had 5-6 runs. Win the Freddy start tomorrow and we're all happy

I’ll take “things that happened in August that the national media didn’t pay attention to” for $600, Alex

Bump

The Brewers hitting 3 homers to the Cubs 1 and the Cubs committing 2 errors in the winner take all game is just about the most satisfying way to win the series given the talking points going into the series

I never thought it would get worse than last year's 9th inning of game 3. But blowing a 2-0 lead to the Cubs would top that plus some. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Brewers won games 1 and 2 when it was still in the 70s and 80s. Now losing games when it's in the 50s and 60s. Mark wasn't lying about the Summer of Entertainment and Passion!

If Yelich and Chourio making outs with two on last inning wasn't a sign that it's not their night, these AB's resulting in just one hit is

Freddy gave up exactly one remotely dangerous ball off the bat and it led to three runs. The seeing eye single to Hoerner was annoying but just can't walk this version of Tucker on four straight ahead of it.

In four games too. Quite ridiculous

Did Darling really just say that the Cubs realized they were throwing Chourio too many strikes and are starting to make him chase after this AB?

Can’t be coming up empty on these two pitches (8 and 4)

Cackling looking at the Cubs official twitter account activity from the game

Omg his swing looks like crap

Fantastic vibes on this fine Saturday. Let’s do it again Monday

Side note, this is hilarous

The dumb part about this upcoming series is the Brewers have been heads and shoulders above the Cubs since game 163 in 2018. Have finished ahead of them in every full season including a combined 15 games in the first two years of Counsell down there.

For the first time maybe ever, I will throughly enjoy watching the expanded wild card round this week

Six Brewers were on the active roster every day of the season. Five if you count Uribe's suspension that he served to start the year as time off the roster
