[Frisbee Slider]

Horton missing wild card round is huge. Boyd and Imanaga have struggled in the second half.

Reds versus the dodgers will be interesting.

I remember that one time before the Brewers were 25-28 Carlos Rodriguez pitched

He was abused & asked to pitch again after a two hour plus rain delay … ended up on the IL for several weeks

There aren't many teams that would have given Ortiz 500 ab this year. It's pretty remarkable given he's been one of the worst offensive players in the league. 

It seems to have worked for us. 

[RobertCrawley]

Batter thought it was gone. 

[Yaz19]

OMG I thought that was gone.

If the goal is to make the playoffs. The goal is to win a world series so story is unwritten. I think it will not be overcome come playoff time. A choice will have to be made.

I would say the goal is to do both, and one has to happen before the other.

Durbin is 4 for 28 and 0 for 12

[shanedog19]

Durbin has not been good lately. Lots of guys that have cooled considerably since August.

[ClearWaterWI]

The Brewers are the worst team with the best record. 

[wOOgiE22]

They better PH Joey in the 9th, but I doubt it.

Sure. The question is did they do it because of him or in spite of. I'm going with the latter. My opinion

More than a bit frustrating. Churio is 6 for his last 49 with 2 RBIs. Lots of Ks.

Ok who am I thinking of……

I thought the Brewers drafted a hitter named Nick Martinez that became a pitcher. (After not making mlb as a Brewer) Thought it was this guy but it isn’t. Not finding any other Nick Martinez’s 

[RobertCrawley]

Carlos is pitching baseball.

  If Yelich could play LF every day it would open up the DH spot for Bauers/Vaughn, but he can't.  The lineup decisions with this group are deceptively tricky.

Why can't he?  The grueling part of the season is over.  I see no reason why Yelich couldn't play a full series in the playoffs in LF.

However, I am not on the Bauers train.  He is who he is, and the week between now and the playoffs will probably turn him into the pumpkin we know he really is.

And he went and REDEEMED himself!

He stayed in the zone, mixed speeds with his change and slider, then sped it up with a 94 mph 4 seamer on or near the black. Effective.

Playoff spot for sure.

[shanedog19]

There is just no fight in this team right now. Imagine being the Mets and having to root for this floundering team.. it would be maddening.

[Bulldogboy]

What's in worse shape pitching or hitting? Not a great question starting the playoffs.
