    Throw strikes and keep the ball in the park, Freddy! Liking this lineup against a lefty going on short rest, and someone the Brewers have faced a ton this year
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    Then who comes in to pitch for the Cubs in that spot?
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Yep, and based on what was left (namely not left) in the Cubs pen, things could've gone incredibly sideways had that call been made correctly right after he started his 2nd inning of work and had already given up a bomb to Merril. That is exhibit A why the ABS review is going to dramatically help the game - and Id say the same thing if it was the Cubs that got screwed on that call.

    Exactly - the Padres had a quality chances to take a bigger lead in Game 1 and didn't capitalize.

    I dislike the every other day game schedule for the NLDS, which should pretty much keep bullpens on really good rest throughout - Kind of wish they wouldn't have planned off days between games 1-2 and 3-4, as it would preserve some of the strain the Cubs' pitching staff put on themselves during the 3 wildcard games. That being said, these off days between games will give the Brewers' key pen arms all the rest they need to be available every single game, too. The mix of Ashby, Koenig, Uribe, and Megill being able to go rinse/repeat for 5+ innings each playoff game as needed without much of any worry on rest is pretty damn solid. As has been the case with other Brewers' postseason runs, how far they go will most certainly depend on how many runs they can consistently score. At some point even the most airtight pitching staffs spring postseason leaks, and teams that win titles take advantage.

    WisDOT needs to reposition every single one of their construction barrels and jersey barriers between south Milwaukee and the state line, plus just randomly throw flashing lane change signs pointing in all directions, through Monday morning

    I should think the Padres GM needs to pack his office up - he needs to be canned. Lets petition game 1 to be moved up to tomorrow night!

    Kittredege in for the 3rd straight day - pucker time in Wrigley.
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    Sure helps that the Pads seem to suck at hitting, too - at least up to these last 6 outs the Cubs need to get. Lot of key relievers already burned through on the Cub side today, too
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    Seems like the Pads pen ran out of gas finally
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    Both of these teams begging to have what happened to CLE with all the pitching changes. Crooked number just waiting out there for somebody
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    These game 3's have the feel of managers being too quick on the hook for their starters, then realizing many of their key late inning arms are a bit strained late with playoff outs being a bit more stressful. Thinking this is already happening with the CLE/DET game, and I expect both CC and Schildt to go to their pens instantly and maybe both regret it once the late innings arrive if the game is tight. I can also see either Taillon or Darvish get shelled early on a hot Wrigley afternoon and that game gets out of hand quickly.

    Some of this, IMO, has to do with how spoiled we've been watching HOF quarterbacks in complete control of an offense manage the game on the field with next to zero input from a coach. Love obviously isn't at the same level as Rodgers or even Favre when it comes to that. On that checkdown to a RB with no shot at getting out of bounds, Love has to realize that even if it's a 2nd or third read on the play that was called and even if it's open enough for the completion, the ball can't be thrown there in that situation and risk the game clock evaporating. The better decision is to throw it 10 feet over his head out of bounds to stop the clock and allow for another play from a huddle. As frustrating as it is knowing better clock management/play decisions the past two weeks have this team 2-1-1 instead of 4-0, it is just getting to October - hopefully some of this improves as the season wears on. If it doesn't
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    You just knew the Dodgers were going to blow it open after the Reds squandered their chance to do the same. A team full of guys who have been in these spots routinely in the playoffs makes a huge difference.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    I actually think with the challenge system being implemented that they should get rid of the televised box, too. I would think eliminating it on the broadcast/feed would get rid of any sort of quick relay opportunities from the dugout on close ball strike calls. Show it on the jumbotron during reviews and thats it.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    Probably because after a flight west before tomorrow's game, Miller probably wouldn't have been available regardless. Gotta win today to play tomorrow - getting 2 innings from Miller today preserves other arms tomorrow, too. Both teams doing a great job of stressing their pens only 2 games in, though. edit - derp....guess I forgot the rules and didn't realize tomorrow was also in Wrigley, right?

    The addition of Sasaki to their pen is very notable, and Treinen is rounding back into form - i think their Pen/walks is the obvious weakness, but its a tough thing to get to with a lead or an even ballgame consistently if they are hitting...when they can string together Snell, Yamamoto, and Ohtani in a playoff rotation with an offense that is going to be very difficult to shut down, they are going to be tough to beat.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Absolutely - and how the Packers mismanaged the clock and playcalling decisions at the end of the 1st half set the stage for them to ever get to OT, where they managed to botch the game clock at the end of that period and likely cost them a win then, too. The people that are ticked at MLF dont think the Packers are terrible - they know they could be much better if their coach improved at managing game situations.
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    If their offense is clicking, the back end bullpen guys arent going to be a concern at all for them.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    Very glad knowing the Dodgers will be facing the Phillies in a best of 5 opposite the Brewers.
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Despite MLB's best record, I'd honestly consider the Brewers to be an underdog against just about any NL opponent in a best of 5 or 7 this postseason, the exception being the Reds. I think I'd prefer the Padres simply because I think they're going to struggle to score runs consistently - whereas the Cubs can put up a few crooked number innings against starting pitching that isn't dominant. To me the Brewers' playoff rotation isn't as strong on paper as other teams (exception being the Cubs) without Woodruff, and wouldn't expect any of them to morph into Skubal - so I'd rather face a team that will struggle to score more than 3 runs a game against any pitching in a best of 5.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Huge 2-1 called strike there on Tatis that was ball 3.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    The question becomes whether or not CC has enough horses to keep the Pads off the board the last 6 outs...Pads had plenty of chances to put a crooked number up early against Boyd and came up empty.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    This is the only thing I can root for watching these two teams play each other
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    To be fair, you could pretty much place 4 baseballs just about anywhere on that graphic and PCA would probably swing and miss at 3 of them
