    Yeah...maybe Robots is underated.
    And if Bochy's power came from a three headed Tim, Madbum, and Cain monster, then maybe it's the much adored and vaunted FO that's vastly overrated then.
    Because there sure is something going on within the organization that maintains the ultimate losing circle being unbroken.
    But...we are elite.

    They are an elite FO and people are nuts to think otherwise. Non-elite ones generally do not make it to back to back world series built on mostly acquisitions under their watch. The teams they have lost to in each of the last 3 years tanked to get where they were while we stayed competitive year in and year out. When an all time great like Clayton Kershaw with superstars Yu Darvish and Kenley Jansen face plant during a World Series(or more), including all 3 at once in'17 yet they still made it to game 7 of that WS, I don't see how in the world you can blame that on a FO. The last 3 teams to eliminate us all massively depleted their farm systems to get them over the top. Our FO left '17 and '18 deadlines as one of the most improved teams AND still have a top 5 farm that is churning out legit stars. This year, if they had done what we all wanted them to do, we would have been legitimately fucked. These tanking teams take 5-6 years for it all to come together so that they can build their ideal rosters. This will be the end of year 5 for Friedman and co, so we are really just starting to see the fruits of their labor with a stockpile of impact prospects in the pipeline, an already loaded major league roster of young talent and a TON of money coming off the books in each of the next two years. Our FO is a fucking middle-middle fastball away by one of the best closers of the era in a career year for him from being World Series champs. An FO doesn't know what is going to happen to a guy once they get to a World Series, so it is their job to put together the best roster they can just to get there. These guys have done that 2 years in a row and damn near 3. They are elite, whether you believe it or not.

    Well then , I guess the other FOs did what they had to do to win, whatever the fuck it happened to be.
    I'm not saying you are totally wrong or I totally disagree, but losing and losing and losing over and over, it gets real tiresome hearing how great they are. How clever. How they fuck over other clubs. How superior their approach in all aspects of the game is...and on and on.
    I' d give all that elite shit ( and excuses) up for just even one ring.
    Just win ONE, and then maybe we can all believe what you do.
    But I defend to the death your right to say it.

    Hit a big one for us in the 2016 NLCS. But yes, you just know he's going to kill us this year after going 1-100 in the postseason for us.

    I remember he hit one in the NLDS last year and I was like whoa! What if Grandal goes on a hot streak, we won’t lose! And then I wanted him killed

    I barely remember anything about last year's nlds. One day, if we win it all, I will go back and watch every postseason game 2004 - present (and more specifically 2013 - 2017) to appreciate the moments.

    He legit looked like a guy who did not want to be there last year. I wonder if it had a lot to do with the LA media being all over him about falling apart the year before and in Milwaukee, they aren't as harsh so he is a bit more relaxed. Still... fuck him if he goes off this year.

    Trying to steal strike one with a fastball to Grandal is probably one of those things you shouldn't try.

    And just like that, the crowd got VERY quiet. Need a 1-2-3 inning here to maybe get them back in it, but this fanbase has a knack for sucking all of the energy out of the air.

    I'd like to say its unbelievable, but it's not

    If I'm Strasburg I'm getting the hell out of there this offseason..enough with Scherzer letting the team down
