Maybe Woody? We were thinking that might have been an option, too. A very slim option, though. -
R - E - L - A - X The hit a lot of popups. A lot more than usual. I think the hitters got away from the left-center to right-center approach. Get a good night's rest and come back out tomorrow ready to go. Get a 6 run lead late, let Harrison come in to pitch 2 and have Megill finish it out.

Why was the game against Western Michigan an exhibition?
-
It is May Day!!!!!!!

If someone wants to copy the Brewers' "Moneyball 2.0" style, it will take time. One of the core tenants is building up the minors and developing from within. Sprinkle in a few veterans to help. Also throughout this entire process, Pitching has been a top priority. Start on the bump with starters and the bullpen. I have a feeling a lot of fan bases will try to get the talented free agent and expect an immediate turnaround. That may or may not work. Moneyball 2.0 is a process.

I believe Drohan and Harrison are the only two not to have pitched in the WS. I would hope Murphy would get both of them in with Megill to close it out.

Looks like 8:00PM Eastern:

With two outs in the top of the 9th, Frelick was also running hard around second base on a short fly ball to center field. I would want him on my team every time. Clubhouse Coefficient +100...

How do you think David Stearns' day is going?
Samurai Bucky replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
How could the Brewers match the Devin Harris to Alando Tucker alley-oop at the end of the game? Maybe a snowman in the top of the 9th after being up 10 runs? 😉 -
I have a strange feeling that the numbers will be low for Game 4 after how the Brewers dismantled the Rays.
-
Note to self -- I have not posted on an IGT, nor have I read any comments until after the game is over. Do not participate in the IGT tomorrow, either. LET'S FREAKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay Contreras. 5 years, $90M He is not only (one of the) the best hitting Catcher(s) in the game overall, he has also shown how he can work with the pitching staff. The way he started calling the sweeper in the first inning for Gasser to have Gasser level set was amazing. His interactions with the players and even with the umpires has shown during the Postseason.
-
All you have to do is see him throw a ball across to 1B. Every time, I am thinking it is going to skip or be wide. Then I remember, Bauers isn't a good defensive first baseman.
-
Although a shortstop is an important position, the catcher is the most important. He is the captain and if you have a good one, keep them if you are able. Trading Adames made sense because the Brewers had a bunch of shortstops on the team and also in the minors. Bo Naylor is not the answer, nor is Jeferson Quero. Contreras for five years keeps the Latin foundation in place and also the clubhouse coefficient.
-
My biggest fear are when the pitchers have walks to open the innings. The Rays play small ball just like the Brewers. They will bunt to get our pitchers off the mound. We have a tendency to walk the leadoff batters...
-
The defense was good. It was very frustrating how Joseph didn't throw the ball. Not sure what team will turn up next week.
-
Here is a comparison of William and the Big Dumper over the past three years (not including this year). Looks like Raleigh had an outlier of a year. I like Contreras' consistency... and he had serious left hand issues last year. Contreras is a very important cog in this wheel. He should get paid.
-
Two words: Doug Jones 😉 He peaked around 86 or maybe 88. His changeup was around 75, IIRC. He has to contribute, though. I don't know if I trust him. It would probably look suspicious if he pitches, is hurt, then is replaced with Harrison (or whomever they choose).

Dillard is a class act. My daughter and son-in-law were in Pittsburgh on Sunday before the All Star break. They were walking close to Dillard after the game and he went into the hotel. They went in and asked him if they could take their picture with him. He was very, very cordial and talked with them for a while, too. I remember when we were in Colorado -- he took time to acknowledge the Brewers fans. This is a story I hear often. Of all of the interactions I have had with any of the on-air personalities, it has been nothing but joyful and full of class. This almost goes back to the people who don't like how Levering calls a game. My goodness -- baseball is supposed to be fun. Let's take it easy and not be stuffy...
-
If you look at Contreras' numbers this year, there was a substantial drop off almost to the day of the earthquakes. There was some buzz around his performance. Here is a post I had made addressing this...
-
That is a prerequisite for being a quarterback at Wisconsin.
-
They missed the face mask you do not hear an announcer call out the missed penalties. This is horse stuff
-
Because the ref was on the other side of Coleman. He was shielded. 🤬
-
Keep playing zone with no pressure
-
Every time the Badgers celebrate a big play, I’m expecting a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. They are making bonehead penalties, though. This has ALWAYS been a problem with Fickel’s teams.
