Which sucks...because giving up 3 runs should net you a win, even in the playoffs. This offense turtling on the road is no fun
-
Two leadoff walks, a leadoff double...zero runs The 1st inning runs given up every game is frustrating as hell....but at some point you have to score
-
Cant ask for anything more and he cant get it done.
-
That was ball 4 blue
-
Gotta find a way for the bottom of the lineup to do something good here....Brewers have been getting hits in front of rally killers
-
Besides 1 swing, as frustrating as this has been it'd be a scoreless game. Brewers have to figure out their offense and get some guys on base. The game 5 lineup should already be filled out for saturday and it should match games 1 and 2.
-
When half of it has decided to stop hitting altogether, its not hard
-
And now we're swinging at everything
-
Cubs are just sitting dead red and daring Freddy to throw any other offspeed for a strike...and he's not able to do it
-
Is this going to be one of those nights the Brewers find a way to set the playoff record for # of leadoff walks that dont score?
-
Not going with Peralta on normal rest tonight wpuld be the equivalent of MLF milking OT clock due to fear of what the cowboys could do after they tied the game with at least a fg, when all you have to do is score TD to win the game right in front of you. Brewers are up 2 games to 1 and can end the series with a win tonight - Murphy always preaches about playing to "win tonight, worry about tomorrow tomorrow". That is 100% the right approach for game 4. Find a way to get the lead early and keep the Cubs off the board early, too. Wrigley will play shorter to left field tonight, but its not like it's going to be a gale blowing out and temps will be in the 50s at gametime.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing the first couple pitches to Busch tonight right at his shins. Nothing against him personally, but that dude is way, way too comfortable teeing off at the start of every game.
-
Its all about the TV deal that nobody else in baseball comes close to matching - it allows for most of their marquee players to get paid huge sums of deferred $$ later, and not worry about those future revenue hits even denting what those future team payrolls can be due to inflation and tv revenues. Well run? Sure - but the advantages they have over everyone else, even the Yankees, at the moment are just not a fair fight. I hold out hope its egregious enough that the rest of MLB forces changes to the financial structure of the game, to at least force out the accounting gimmickry the Dodgers can get away with and count deferred dollars in contracts towards present payrolls for luxury tax or salary cap purposes, dollar for dollar.
-
In a vacuum, sure...but Boyd hasn't pitched anywhere close to this many innings in a season since, checks notes, 2019. Boyd has been scuffling down the stretch, and even if he does get the ball tomorrow he's going to be on an incredibly short leash. My hope is Greg gets some false sense of hope with the likes of Brown, Civale, and Rea's clean innings in what we're essentially garbage time innings between games 1 and 2, and some of those guys find themselves trying to get outs in key spots in the middle innings tomorrow
-
You realize half the time Collins isnt even in the same state as his young family, right? His slump isn't because he is a new dad.
-
Exactly - Collins isnt the first major leaguer to have a baby at home during the season. He is also not the first young player to struggle mightily at the end of a really solid rookie year where he was exceeding expectations. Just because both of those are true for Collins doesnt mean they are in any way directly related to each other
-
I wish Hoskins was on this roster instead of Collins, tbh
-
Yeah, you give the ball to your best starter on regular rest every time and sort out what happens afterwards. Peralta needs to start tomorrow.
-
Hand the ball to Freddy and let him work tomorrow - i wouldnt mind if the first few pitches to Busch in the bottom of the 1st are right at his shins or behind him....nothing against that guy, but its annoying how comfy he is sitting in the box seeing off to open the game. If the wind does shift a bit it wouldnt surprise me to see CC start Rea or Soroka tomorrow and then just throw everybody again. Boyd will be on regular rest, but I dont think theyd trust him facing the Brewers for what feels like the 17th time this season
-
That's actually the game this feels exactly like, IMO
-
I recall a post you had when the Brewers were waiting to find out their opponent that you were amped to face the Cubs...knock them out on a redemption playoff run through LAD and whomever in the WS....I'm still firmly with you from about 5-6 days ago, enjoying this ride and confident as ever. Stick to your guns, brother!
-
Abner and Megill rested, Ashby likely ready for his typical role. Cubs went through every key reliever to scratch this win out.
-
Cubs couldn't either after the 1st - regroup and go win the series tomorrow. Going to have a bug pitching advantage and need to take advantage of it.
-
No way thielbar was going to give him anything to pull there - i think you get greedy and actually try to shoot the ball to left and take that approach instead of trying to slug something pull side and k-ing. Chourio is station to station anyway so him on 3rd with 1 out doesnt give you much than 1st and 3rd with 0 outs.
-
Leadoff double squandered by that Turang AB....you just have to put the ball in play in that spot
