Phillies (Wheeler) vs Brewers (Peralta): 9/1/23, 7:10pm

[yourout]

2 hits 2 walks and one giant error nets 4 runs without an extra base hit.

That doesn't happen often in the bigs.

I would nominate it for craziest win of the year.

First off, a bad night for the boys behind the mic.

Somewhere in the middle of the game BA says that it's hard to know who to pull for re the Reds & Chicago. He actually said that, with the mic turned on & everything. I guess that's what happens when you're around sporadically, although I don't know how that's even a good excuse. Then Rock talks about Bohm taking a 3-1 pitch leading off the eighth "right down the middle". The next pitch misses for ball four. If he doesn't walk, the 4 run inning could very well be zero.

I guess the Miller ball is payment for what happened in the eighth on Wednesday. Hell of a job by TT scoring all the way from first.

Feel a little for Payamps. Two failures in a row w/o much being hit hard. Still, walks both days which is unlike him. Maybe the season is getting a little long for him, I dunno.

 

That's probably it concerning Payamps. As I mentioned before , maybe it's time to have Megill take on the set up role the rest of the way. Maybe they can find another mystery injury to tag on Payamps to put him on the IL.

Sofia just said “ Alex Bohm is as good of a 3rd baseman as there is in the league”

Stupid thought for the night.

Could a pitcher ever get a blown save and a save in the same game if say he was pitching in the eighth inning and faced a couple of hitters to give up a lead but was moved to the outfield only to re-enter an inning later after his team had scored runs to take the lead ?

That is a pretty wild scenario, but I’m pretty sure the answer would be no.

The scoring definition for a save triggers off the situation when the pitcher “enters the game”. If he moves to the outfield he isn’t entering the game when he returns to the mound.

That is a monumental gift.

I bet if I step outside I could probably still hear the Cubs crying about it.

Yep, just like they were jumping for joy on the GW hit Wednesday that was a grounder to SS if it doesn't hit Payamps in the foot.

That's funny when he's literally the worst 3rd baseman in the league lol

Hard to say. If he gets a break you have Uribe, Megill, & Milner to enter into the last 3 innings. But like I said, other than the walks he hasn't been bad. E-6 & a couple ground balls in the clutch Wednesday. Two big outs before being pulled today. I guess we'll see.

"Alex........Were you surprised when you butchered that ground ball in the eighth inning tonite, considering you're as good a third baseman as there is in the league?"

It wasn’t that great in 2021 either. They took the commanding lead in the division early and wobbled to the finish.

Or 2020, if that counts as a season.

When did the 40 man roster go away.    He dominated that

[Brewcrew82]

I think you'd have to tab Freddy to be the Game 1 starter if the postseason started tomorrow. He's been the best pitcher in baseball over the last 6 plus weeks.

A sore spot of mine. Not saying it should still be forty. That was ridiculous. But cutting it all the way to 28.............I think 30 is a good number.

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic and great username!

Thanks, I've been a lurker and fan of this forum for a long time.  My Brewers fandom started as a 9 year old in 1978.  Just happy we've seen the Brewers Organization build into something we can all be proud of the past few seasons.

Yeah.    I’d be ok with a couple more.   At least hiura would get his Michael Jordan style “last dance”

I would prefer woodruff.   But you can’t go wrong with any of them

The giving up on a reliever thing after like a couple outings is tiring.  Sometimes after a long streak of success a couple of hits fall in, an error or two, a tight strikezone, any number of things happen.  When you're talking about relief innings it's a very small amount of innings compared to starters.

What a win!

We ain't no has-been!

If you could pick one I’d probably pick Woodruff too because of the veteran experience. But, it’s probably a moot point because the real priority would probably be keeping the pitchers on schedule as much as possible. 

The wild card series starts on Tuesday, just two days after the season ends. If the Brewers would have to go to the final weekend or final day just to win the division or get a playoff spot, they might have to use their best starters that weekend and that would dictate availability for Tuesday. 

Even if the Brewers have an opportunity to tinker with their rotation to set up the playoffs they probably want to avoid having anyone go too long in between starts unless they think a pitcher would be helped by skipping a turn.

BTW, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I would direct everyone’s attention to the signature that I have used for a few years because of the tendency of some posters to read unintended things into my posts. In this case, just because I mention the possibility of the Brewers going to the last day of the season to clinch the division or a playoff spot, that doesn’t mean that I expect or assume that that will happen.

The reds have three pitchers on Covid list.     We are doing that crap again?      Stop it

 

if I see burnes and Yelich missing 7 games because of this nonsense.    My god

I don't get what you mean by "still doing this?" It's still a thing. Covid didn't disappear. 

I'm pretty sure now the rules are more lax and it's about being symptomatic or whatever and I don't believe they're testing for it everyday(giving the leeway). Or you could also test negative for it.

It's not the center of the universe, but it's also not extinct.

Anyone think that MIGHT have been a base hit with Miller running? Bohm doesn't have a great arm, he's gotta make a throw from deep(ish) on the dirt and Miller can run.

Probably not...and it doesn't really matter anyway.

I responded to this above, but it reminds me of an even crazier scenario that is possible under the rules, though it has never happened in the major leagues. 
 

It is possible for a pitcher to be both the winning and losing pitcher in a game. Any idea how that could happen.

I'm still going Burnes, Woody and Peralta. Or...Woody and Burnes. I'll take the big power righties, the Cy Young Winner and the guy who's gotten votes a couple times, but Peralta is a pretty damn nice #3 and I sure hope he can continue to throw like this. 

Love to see a 7 game series where they're pitching 5 of the 7 games, maybe Miley the other two, but that feels more 2001 with Johnson and Schilling.

No. If he fields it cleanly he had an easy out at third and probably could have thrown Miller out too.
