2018-10-07 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Miley) at Rockies (Márquez) 3:37 PM CDT [Brewers win 6-0, completing sweep of COL, and are going to the 2018 NLCS!!!]

Cain needs a bench day.

 

No way.

 

Thing is, it's not like he's even in some horrible slump. It's just happened to be in the biggest games of the season.

First MLB network game I’ve watched I think. Like the steal percentage tracker and always find pitch grips interesting, thought it was cool to show the grips for both starters

[PinaMadness]

Could you look any more foolish with that AB, Braun?

[jjgott]

Well that was a waste of an AB by Braun there

[dlk9s]

While we haven't hit the ball all that amazingly (though a walk and a couple hits ain't too shabby), a whole bunch of contact has been right up the middle, which I figure means their timing is on point.

[phnxcrew]

Why are we back to stepping away from the game for a commercial for two minutes and then our half of the inning is already over? I was hoping Coors would cure the crap hitting

[wildcat83]

No way you put your leader on the bench in the playoffs. Especially a high contact guy who’s not prone to long slumps. People are blowing a few ABs way out of proportion

[dlk9s]

I know we're all a little nervous that Miley is pitching because the Rockies are good against lefties, but look at his name. He's made to pitch in Denver.

[pacopete4]

That didn’t look fair and still no replay of it.

[Greenleaf1]

How does a grounder that get slow get through the infield so easily?

[wildcat83]

Arenado should not see a strike here.

Didn't say we should do it. Just that he needs one.

I agree you don't bench him, but it's not a couple AB's. It's a couple weeks.

[wildcat83]

Good work Wade, keep it rolling!

[LaprilOne]

Wade Miley=Gritty Veteran

[pacopete4]

We can say it’s small sample all we want but Cain doesn’t look right up there right now.

 

Miley, doing what Miley does!

[jjgott]

I LOVE SHIFTS!

[dlk9s]

No.

Miley has the beard and the hair but compared to Blackman he looks very neat. He is pitching great so far and keeping the Rockies struggling and that is all that counts. So far so good.

[dlk9s]

At least with Cain's and Aguilar's struggles, the bottom of the order has produced. It all evens out!

[lcbj68c]

I think I ride Miley until he gives up multiple runs, loads the bases, walks 5 guys, pitches 7 innings, or throws 95 pitches, whichever happens first.

Cain ended the year with an 8 game hitting streak. It’s literally been 2 games.

Why?

[dlk9s]

Huh. I didn't realize Shaw had made so many errors at 2nd this year. From what I've seen, he hasn't been a gold glover, but he's looked alright.

 

EDIT: Greenleaf confirmed my skepticism.

[jerichoholicninja]

Good Lord Bob Castas, Shaw did not have 11 errors at 2B. He had 11 errors all year, 1 at 2B. I couldn't believe the number when I heard it so I had to look it up. Took me 15 seconds. That's just lazy Bob.
