So you think Miz and Henderson will only go 4-5 innings? I'd take Huge odds they will go deeper than that. What say you? 

Are you just arguing to argue? 

Miz and Henderson are the two starters we have. After that yes, it’s going to be a lot of pen. No one is arguing that we are going to try to ride Gasser for 7 innings. You said we can expect 3 strong out of Gasser. That’s fine. That will help. We are just trying to get outs. I don’t have a lot of faith in 3 strong from May.

My freaking point is, by the time you get to the bullpen with him, you are likely already down 3 or 4 to nothing(after 3) and at that point you are just wasting the bullpen. 

So literally today with May pitching?

Your freaking point is wrong.  He's given up two runs or less in his last five.

Remember Gasser in last year's playoffs? If he's the game three starter and the Brewers are up 2-0 that series is going at least to a 4th game. Look, I'm not here to defend May by any stretch, but I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable with Gasser starting a game either. I'd rather start DL Hall, or Ashby.

No, not at all my friend.  I've got mad respect for your posts; I never skip them.

I really appreciate that. Never afraid to make fun of myself when a post goes over my head, I’ll say that 🤣

[Pugger]

I sure hope the guys' bats aren't going cold now...

[Just Some Guy]

The announcer said he was crying?  Cuz...

Remember Priester in last years playoffs?

Yep, I wouldn't trust him either. He really fell off towards the end of the year. 

[Pugger]

There's  one....

But you're good with Harrison/May?

The point is we don’t have a lot of guys we can trust, May isn’t one of them and if we’re going to win games that Miz and Henderson aren’t pitching, it’s going to have to be off the strength of the bullpen.

The Gasser who was fresh off TJ and looked like a shell of what he does right now?

I think people forget how good Wheeler really is.  I am not going to ding the offense in this one.

I never said that either. But I'm not good with Gasser I know that. Every freaking pitch he throws I feel like it's ripe to get hit out and at the absolute worst times too. It's not like he's lock down or anything(Though I'd love for him to prove me wrong). That's who I really wish they had for a game #3 starter, a lock down guy.

[Pugger]

This Gordon looks pretty good.

[Bulldogboy]

Good inning Gordon

You did.  You said you'd rather go wtih May because he "misses bats" and Gasser doesn't.

Gordon and Stallings ahead of May and Harrison on playoff roster.

This is absolutely right, and a team like us should be playing matchups in the postseason anyway. 

There are all sorts of flavors of combos that we can throw at the opposition, we might only have two true starters we can trust, but we have about 5-6 more guys who can be stretched to a few innings. More total good arms than anyone else in the playoffs.

Good lord Yeli.

[adambr2]

That was probably the hardest hit ball we’ve had all night.

[Underachiever]

I can’t find tonight’s game thread

[Pugger]

Rats.  Too bad Pratt didn't challenge.

[adambr2]

Wheeler is getting help that he doesn’t need. 

[wiguy94]

Yeli unfortunately is looking super washed again. Hope he somehow figures it out before the postseason because you know the Brewers are going to start him because his name is Christian Yelich.
