Brewers (May) vs Phillies (Wheeler): 9/22/26, 5:40pm

[Joseph Zarr]

I for one am absolutely shocked I am watching another May post-game Deer in the Headlights interview. Shocked. Don't worry! Pencil him in as the G3 Starter. He's pitched in the Playoffs! 

[willie key]

We got the bye.   That’s all that matters 

[folly412]

Looks Biloxi is about to win - Fischer homered. Bishop Letson dominated with 12 Ks in 7 scoreless.

Will be one more game tomorrow against the Huntsville Raccoons with the Southern League championship on the line. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We 1000% won the May trade needs to be Brewerfan lore. 

[willie key]

Every game just shows that every guy no one’s heard of comes up and pitches better than may.  
 

it’s just arrogance at this point that we will pitch May in game three and spot a playoff team a 3-4 run lead after two innings while dh ing Yelich because of feelings.  Those will be our undoing ultimately.    
 

when the playoffs start we should play our best players every game period.  Vaughn dh.  Bauers at first and Hamilton should not get one start.    Harrison should not be on roster.   Brewers need a bunch of relievers to get through a 5 or 7 games series and the playoff roster should reflect that.

Why would he probably get shelled?  He does a fairly good job limiting hard contact .  And if there's a time where you're fine using 3 or 4 relievers a game it's the playoffs.  Again, tons of off days.  Have you ever seen the playoffs before?  Because everything you're posting right now suggests you haven't.

The Brewers went

While also having several games off before the playoffs even started for them last year.

There won’t be an off day between the first and second games of the NLDS this year.

Miz usually gets 5 days rest, Henderson 4-5. If you look at the playoff schedules, it is a real conundrum about how to maximize our two best pitchers. If you go on 3 days rest for either of them, you are really rolling the dice.

Which is fine.  Line up your pitching how you want and a few off days before you have to play two games with another off day and you can still use as many pitchers as needed in those first two games.

Unless they sweep the series (or get swept) the Brewers will need 4 starters in the NLDS. I can’t see then starting Misiorowski on Saturday and then bringing him back for a game 4 on Wednesday. 

There would probably be some openers and piggybacking depending on usage in the earlier games.

Phillys definitely could be the sleeper team. I they've got enough offense and with Wheeler and Nola they've got some pitching.

Are you discounting Sanchez?

Just an oversight.

And Luzardo should be back. They have a great rotation for a playoff series. I know we don't want to risk losing to the Cubs in the playoffs, but matchup wise I think they're the best match for us. Just like last year.

If not for the kick save by Bohm on the throw to 3rd you're talking about one run in 5 innings.

I can't believe the umpires did not call interference on the play. Bohm deliberately slowed down bc he knew he could kick the baseball away and score a run. Unbelievable!
