Taylor will be a big part of the bullpen next year. Gotta let him stick with Scooter there. Pound fastballs at 97 up in the zone.

It's a tough game to watch, as will between 65 and 75 of the games this year. The sky isn't falling every time we lose a game or every time a guy makes a bad pitch.

But sometimes it is, like giving up go ahead runs in the top of the ninth when the team that is five ahead in the loss column loses to a really bad team. People are going to vent in the IGT's. You don't have to like it but you do have to deal with it and respect how others choose to be a fan.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

Jennings’ hanging curveball to Gennett was just one of several mental mistakes committed by the Brewers. If they can’t focus and put away teams like the Padres and Reds, they don’t deserve to make the playoffs.

A hanging curveball is the definition of a physical mistake. Apparently Jennings didn't jedi mind-will the ball to break more??

Oh come on....the failures of 10 or 20 years ago have literally nothing to do with what is happening today.

 

They do if you have a memory. Like no one in Wisconsin remembered losing to Eli and the Giants twice in the playoffs the year before last? Most of us connect what has transpired in the past to the current. Call it what you will it's only natural.

I am older than you. I remember things from long ago but I also know there is no connection. But all that suffering will make a WS win all the sweeter.
