Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Two Thread

I'm sure I'll end up eating this, but I like Miz here. 

If he's on he's a shutdown guy that can cut off contact which has been an issue already. And it's not such a catastrophic thing if he's bad, it's potentially 1-1. It's a calculated risk that pays huge dividends if he looks good. I've said it before but they're going to need meaningful contributions from him if we're making a run.

Playing a baseball game that is currently tied. 

With a 1-0 series lead in which Murph appeared to play Counsell pretty badly.

I have no idea how Ortiz decides which pitches to swing at.  My god.

But yeah, Murph is the wurst.

Ortiz keeps missing pipe shots.

But IF Miz does well, and learns to perform well under enormous pressure, he may be a big weapon for us going forward.

I’m more concerned at the moment about trying to win a World Series than Miz’s career development.

Its what I was thinking - if miz is all over the place you get another reliever in as fast as you can.  If he is dealing youve got priester and Peralta starting games 3 and 4 regardless of how tonight turns out

Has to be predetermined right?  He’s such a terrible hitter

Going forward in this series and potentially the next two.

This is game 2 of the playoffs and Murphy has gotten all sorts of cute

I think it's a bad move.

For one ......... 1/3 of the members here will no longer have anything to post about.

Please be the Good Miz tonight......

You can’t go into 2026 with Ortiz as the everyday SS.

Murphy over thinking and trying to be cute.  If it works, he's a genius, if it doesn't, no one in the media will call him out, so it's all good.

Priester should have started game 2, at home, end of story.

Even if it works it's questionable. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Buckle up

[Brewluver]

(it'll be like "writer's block" ) lol

[RobertCrawley]

Oh boy.

[BCF]

103.4 on the first pitch lmao

I mean maybe. I just think it’s being undersold how catastrophically this could backfire. Are we forgetting that we can’t just yank him if he walks the first guy on 4 pitches? He has to face 3 batters.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

103 on the corner. Wow

[dlk9s]

This should be interesting 

[BCF]

103.7 

[Bulldogboy]

104

[BCF]

*** 104.2?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

104? Holy heck.
