Padres were getting lucky most of the game until the 9th. I think they had like 3 balls over 100 mph EV all night while Brewers had over 9

Yup, said last night I hated all the talk of Padres getting unlucky, then saying how they couldnt get that "one big hit with RISP" as if luck played no role in runners being in scoring position in the first place.

Seemed like a game the Brewers were gonna get singled out in, and still found a way to win, but alot of pundits are acting like the Pads should have won by 5

Just because May starts, doesn’t mean Gasser won’t be ready to throw bulk innings, too. 
 

May starting makes sense.

How was the concert? Did you check your phone? Brewers won 3-2. [no sarcasm intended, authentic questions] 🙂

Concert was outstanding. I got back in just in time to see Roofgate. :D

I get to actually watch this game, let's go!

I have private music lessons to teach between 2-6, with a break from 4-4:30, so I'll miss much of it. :-(

We got unlucky more than they did with all the line drives that found gloves. They had a bunch of weak contact or Ks with RISP.

Joey Bats looked terrible at the plate yesterday. Maybe a day off gets him right.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I expect Joey subs for defense if the game is at all close.

Doesn't mean Hamilton can't hurt them defensively (I might have Jerry Hairston flashbacks every time the ball gets near him), but it mitigates things somewhat.

Frelick being in makes perfect sense.

Any word on whether MLB has decided to open the roof? I had heard, in previous years, that they prioritize consistency in playoff series (and we have seen that over the years). I'd be surprised if it's open.

If Reggie Jackson was Mr October then Jackson Chourio is quickly becoming señor October

Señor Octubre does seem appropriate for Chourio,

I think left-handed Hamilton was starting either way. I figured it would be over Pratt though. Both Pratt and Ortiz had poor days at the plate.

He has reverted to chasing out of the zone. He’s 2-34 in his playoff career. I would still prefer Joey however he’s been bad recently.

I actually think the week long layoff really hurt him

They Did yes. But I’d hope they look at more than just yesterday to decide who plays

Hey, Robert, are you in or near Milwaukee by chance today?  I've got 4 (nosebleed) seats I got for my brother's family, to give away.  My niece got sick so they're not going to use them.  They're yours if you can use them

Hamilton coming in for one of Pratt or Ortiz was almost expected.

Fewer moving parts by going Hamilton for Ortiz at 3B. Keep Pratt at SS; don't have shift Ortiz to think about both SS defense and what he's doing at the plate. Can always bring Ortiz in to sub for Hamilton later in the game.

Wow, what a great offer! But I've got a lot going on today. Thanks just the same!!

Pratt's defense was solid. Maybe he gets some good advice on swinging only at pitches in the zone.

EDIT:  I tried to give away tickets here but now I have to leave so I guess it didn't work out.  

If you've got SRO's and would rather sit, there won't be any butts in seats 1-4, section 425, row 17.

[Just Some Guy]

Heh, I just looked out at the stadium and perhaps to nobody's surprise, the roof is open today.
