Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Four Thread - 10/9/2025 @ 8:08PM

Eh, give up five here and stick Gasser in there.

[CheezWizHed]

One thing I've noticed about this team is that they don't seem to do cold weather well.  They seem to play better every spring when the weather warms.  It isn't freezing, but it is still much colder than many of the Latin American countries. Playing indoors in Milwaukee and in LA might be a better outcome for them.

.385 OBP. That's why you hit him leadoff

Has it worked?

It didn't work in September and it didn't work last night.

No reason on earth to try it again tonight, but here we are.

Batting Yelich lead off against a lefty

Bunting down three runs

Those decisions are on Murphy 

I did say that was stupid b4 the game even started.  I said why switch up stuff now?

Your offense scores 16 runs in two games so you tinker with the lineup in a stupid way and then you do it again the next night and we're expecting a different result? 

Did Murphy get too high on his own supply after Monday night's game? Just what in the F is going on. 

I like him, but it's pretty clear he's a weird guy who's ego has been inflated the last few years

There’s no games to play in LA if they don’t win a game by Saturday.

You had a lineup that was in rhythm in Games 1 and 2 and not only did you tinker  with it, you made wholesale changes to it, and it backfired.

Absolutely asanine.

He had an OPS exactly the same in the leadoff spot in September than he did the rest of the month. But you do you.

Which is in Milwaukee.

Murphy doing his best Counsell impression in the dugout. That wasn’t close to being an out, man.

[Bulldogboy]

Ashby v Suzuki. Cool

It’s not just about Yelich. The entire rest of the lineup also get their routines changed up.

I like him too.  I think he would make a great bench coach.

But 2 hits All night tonight? Nothing to do with lineup. Hits in a row has to do with lineup. But still a bad lineup.

[yourout]

Not going to get any help from the plate umpire tonight

[Beer n Cheetos]

Oh, this is rich… 🫣

Time to dub him with the nickname "Hollywood".

Which, can vary with comfort and routine.

Suzuki has bailed out our pitchers twice.

They didn't win a lot of games with him leading off, and they lost last night.

You can defend the decision all you want, that doesn't mean it's correct.

You do you.

How about those Eagles...?

That's going to be an even worse loss than ours to Cleveland.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wriggled off the hook for another zero against the Cubs offense.

[TURBO]

Whew!

[adambr2]

Suzuki has donated two runs to us tonight.

Means nothing if you can’t get any offense going.
