Agreed. Right-handed power bat needed over the offseason. Must play corner infield. So I guess, ummm, Goldy?

 

Maybe, but you gotta take what the market gives you. Can't force it.

[MrTPlush]

It’s just too hard to expect guys making hundreds of thousands to hustle in the biggest game of their lives.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Regardless of how this series turns out, a couple of takeaways from the post-season...

 

The Brewers have several young arms worth being excited about.

 

This team/management isn’t beholden to baseball traditionalists, and that should serve them well over the long haul.

 

Aye.

[dlk9s]

Not that he wasn't necessarily, but that's why you always hustle.

[topper09er]

I think he was still out, but lazy play from MM thinking he had all day

Quite right. He'd look good on the lineup card, though.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I mean, it's Kratz and his slow as heck, but he should have beaten that one out. Just run hard. You never know what can happen.

 

Edit: Or was he running hard and that's just his full speed? I admit, I only saw the slow-mo, so it's hard to judge on that.

I know, if a Bear was chasing him I guarantee he would be running faster

[82brewcrew82]

Seriously, did we just feast no bad pitching this year because this is ridiculous.

Being a fan of this team with the Uber talented roster, forward thinking management, and cutting edge strategic thinking of our coaching staff is extremely exciting.

[Oxy]

I like the strategy of walking Kershaw. Let him injure himself on the basepaths.

 

This is good.

[Ennder]

Especially if it was Khalil Mack

[YelichPosse]

Cheap broken bat hits this series:

Dodgers 5,000

Brewers 1

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Another double play would be nice.

[jason21nl]

D bag or not. Wish Machado was in our lineup

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Damn skippy!

[owbc]

Another double play would be nice.

 

Wish granted.

[YelichPosse]

This is how you retaliate vs Machado.

[bigredrobbo]

No need to plunk Machado, just put someone on first every time so he hits into a DP each time. Easy!

[B-Train]

With 2 on we might even be able to induce a triple play the way he blasts down the line.

[MrTPlush]

Shadows will be helpful since we are already getting mowed down by Kershaw.

 

About an inning before the shadow effect.

[TURBO]

D bag or not. Wish Machado was in our lineup

 

Not me, I don't want to root for guys like him under any circumstance.

 

I'm perfectly content with him being on other teams.

[dlk9s]

Yeah, I think we can write Woodruff's name in pen for the rotation next year.

[bigredrobbo]

Lefty schmefty. Sit down Muncy.

[MrTPlush]

Muncy is happy.
