Part of the Miller struggles seem to have been exposed, he was brutally tipping his pitches. Appears both Yelich and Frelick were able to relay when a slider was coming…thus why we probably didn’t see anyone chasing one.

Yup - clear as day for a trained eye:

They had images for both when Frelick was batting and the hand positioning was identical.

This is said awkwardly - you're thinking neither Patrick nor Gasser goes in game 3, right? 

May is a RHP, so I'd think Drohan or Harrison is the 2nd one in (possibly Hall or even Ashby, if we're "going for it"). Ideally, that gets us through 5 innings. Then I'd start going to the one inning right handers like Senzatela/Uribe rather than Patrick, who is our only right-handed long guy in the pen - it'd be smart to have him to back up the lefty Gasser in Game 4. 

Not sure what is awkward... I said Gasser in game 4.  May is pitching game 3 with potentially Patrick or Drohan to follow.

Well, now is the time for May to show why we 1000% won the trade.

This is Jackson's team now

Another overlooked moment is Sal gunning down Machado to end that inning.  Padres have plenty to consider about their play too.

I think Manny slowed down so Tatis would score knowing he was going to be called out at 3rd.

I've called him A Fraud for a long, long, long time. 

I rember seeing him get a hit on every at bat during a game in Appleton at Goodland Field when the Foxes played there.  He moved up to AAA not long after that.

So am I looking at Sal scratching his neck a split second before the pitch? If that's true, that's an awful lot for Chourio to process in second or so.

That’s fair. At the same time, hitters only have 0.2 seconds to react to a 103 mph fastball.

A full second is an eternity by comparison

I don’t know, the Padres have a really talented hitting lineup with few if any weak spots They also have received a lot of media credit for their 41-18 tear after July 23rd which resuscitated their season plus their complete suffocation of the Cubs in the WC round. 

What does gets over looked is the Brewers’ nearly identical 39-21 march after July 23rd. 

The Brewers were just a little better with their weaker hitters in white knuckle time in Game 2 against a tiring Miller struggling with his command. 
 

 

 

All season long we are winning games left and right but the national media and mlb.com kinda ignored it all and mentioned our games or scores as an afterthought while drooling over the Cubs and Dodgers.  

Now we and especially Chourio are the toast of the town.

Sal’s signal is clear as day. As soon as the grip is on the ball he signals. 

[liveforoctober]

This is probably why you can't ask a closer or anyone with just two pitches to go multiple innings like that. The Brewers had 10 full minutes between batting in the 8th and the 9th for their video guys to dissect the whole thing and find it. 

With all due respect to Christian, Sal, and Gary.... There is just no way all three of those guys lay off every single Mason Miller pitch out of the zone.

They have cameras all over, if there is footage of Frelick signaling where is the footage of Yelich signaling?
