There's less real difference between the 1 and 6 seed than people want to believe.

Other than getting the bye of course.    But I do agree.  All these teams are good.

I think last year was an eye opener for Murphy, "OVER RESTING" most all our starters at the end of the season and playing flat because of it I believe. 

And they did the same damn thing the year they got beat by the Braves.   The Brewers should not be reverting to SPRING TRAINING baseball.   No way - NO HOW!

We dropped a 6 spot on the Cubs in the first inning of game 1 last year… 

Rest is huge, huge, huge in the postseason when you want your high leverage arms to cover as many innings as possible and all your position players are banged up in some way. 
 

This is the modern era, they have sophisticated pitching simulators in the batting cages, the hitters don’t need to see live pitching every day to stay sharp.

I'd be hard pressed to remember a happier 48-hour stretch in my life than what I had the past two days. Two come from behind wins in their last at bat against the Scrubs. In my life.

I would love for it to be a 72-hour stretch but I could see this being another "punt" game for Murphy seeing as how we've already clinched the series win and a bullpen in desperate need of a couple days off. I could see this just being Henderson and Sproat game today, maybe Romero.

That's not necessarily a punt though. Henderson still has never given up more than 3 runs and it's reasonable to expect he could go 5-7. Sproat could do fine for a couple innings. Hopefully we'll score a few runs and keep the pressure on.

UGH!

Did you really just jinx Henderson, just like that, right out in the open?

UGH!

If he gives up more than 3, you know it's all your fault, right? :)

UGH!

One thing is certain. Megill will not be pitching today.
