If Roberts uses Kenley in a game they are leading by less than 5 runs (he will), the braves will win

Like the Cubs didn't just benefit from the same thing a couple years ago. Every Brewers fan I've met has been a lifelong die hard. I'm the weirdo because I became a fan through my in-laws indoctrinating me. My family didn't watch sports at all. Die hard Cubs fans in Wisconsin are an artifact from an era when the state had no team at all and when one finally came the broadcasting didn't extend far out of the 5 surrounding counties. The only young people I've met who are from Wisconsin and love the Cubs grew up with a parent or grandparent passing the Fandom down from that era I really don't get Cubs resentment toward the Brewers. They weren't even in your league until the end of the 90s and this is the first year they've been properly good since the league switch. But I guess you see the whole state through stereotype filters or something.

Brewers/Cubs today ruled. It was cool to give Chicago the “Wrigley North” treatment yhat they bring to Milwaukee every year. Can’t believe I got to witness only our 3rd division win in franchise history in person. None of today feels real. Great day. Go Brewers. Also getting to bust out my L flag in Wrigley owned a lot.

this owns:quote:theree’s no one remotely close to him on any control-related leaderboard—Chatwood is the only pitcher with a walk percentage (19.6%) higher than his strikeout percentage (17.5%). He’s landed in a 3-0 count against 9.7% of the batters that he’s seen, which is more than double the major league average and the highest number that baseball has seen since 2004. There are only two pitchers in the past quarter-century who have touched 10%. quote:But for a guy’s walk percentage to be above his strikeout percentage and for that walk percentage to be so high—say, above 18%? Until this year, it had been done just six times, last in 1976 by San Francisco’s John D’Acquisito. Chatwood’s 2018 adds one more, a piece of history that’s as small as it is ignoble. https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/09/17/san-francisco-giants-madison-bumgarner-cubs-tyler-chatwood-red-sox

jit bull transpile posted:You are the last person to accuse anyone of obnoxious behavior. Pot calling the kettle black here. But serious talk: if the Brewers can’t sell out Miller Park to its fans, you can’t be pissed about other teams’ fans buying tickets and making the trek. I’m not actually a proponent fans flying the W flag outside of Wrigley though. Even this year when they tried their stupid gimmicks to keep Cubs fans from getting tickets it didn’t work. So maybe get more fans to support the team locally before getting pissed off. Though if they keep fielding a competitive team it should happen regardless.

My resentment is growing up a Chicago sports fan in small town Wisconsin and having to endlessly put up with smug Packers fans who are just now realizing they have a baseball team. I consider Wisconsin my home state and fully embrace the cheese/beer stereotypes and so should you.

I think Darvish has a good year in him still, if he can stay healthy. I’m pretty confident that chatwood just sucks now though. But who knows, I’ve been wrong before.

GalacticAcid posted:I put in effort when it’s warranted but when my object is to make cubsposters upset it requires none at all It's all good, if nothing else your gimmick is consistent and I like it. There was a Cardinals poster a few years ago: snef, I think? He had a similar shitpost style that I honestly miss because it also made me laugh a lot. At any rate I spent six hours locked in a room with staff lawyers today who didn't understand how email searches work and were indignant that I wasn't a wizard who could snap my fingers and make emails from 10 years ago that we've long since deleted materialize out of thin air, so the Cubs losing today was honestly little more than a blip on my radar. I'm sure I'll be more outraged after I have a normal work day tomorrow and then have to come home and watch the Cubs get thrashed by the Rockies.

Today was my first game at Wrigley. It was cool that Maddon was in on the whole Maximum Chaosball mindset. Baez, too, for hacking strikeouts when he was the tying (winning? i don't remember) run. Rizzo's homer was loving beautiful. I mean that. It was a thing of beauty. As a third party observer, the respective fandoms were decent until the 8th, at which point every Brewers fan in the upper deck decided to stand. But whatever, I just stood up, too. Quality booing for Braun, Hader, and Murphy. Dueling MVP chants for Baez and Yelich. Didn't get anything fancy, just a good hot dog and some nachos and a Goose Island. 10/10 would recommend Wrigley Chaosball. (Maybe would not recommend non-Chaos as the seats are loving expensive and The Troughs are still somehow a thing that exist.)

This might have been because part of the state (like La Crosse where I was) didn't get the Brewers games but did get WGN.

I've never met a non nihilistic Packers fan either. Everyone just holds their breath for the collapse to happen. But yeah I really miss good cheddar cheese and bars that serve more than 3 beers. The place I moved to is supposed to be more queer friendly or whatever but honestly my wife and I get just as many dirty looks for holding hands in public as we did in Wisconsin. It's too bad I'd have to take a 70k pay cut to move home ☹️

Yeah that's what I meant. Places like LaCrosse or Prairie du Chien may as well be the hinterlands and historically the Cubs have better media reach there. LaCrosse gets Packers games blacked out if the Vikings are on even, lol.

What I don't get is still being super mad about it 6 years later. I don't think much about him at all and he'll be retired at the end of his contract.
