    It will take alot more than 3 runs to win this game - limit the damage and get the bats going
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    Yep....jeez
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Ashby missing in the middle of the plate too much for my liking, too...ineffectively wild so far
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    Replace the Phillies with "the rest of MLB" and you're right if the Dodgers keep getting this kind of pitching and the top of their order is rolling. Nothing would be sweeter than knocking the Dodgers off in the NLCS....but that is for another week to worry about how the hell that could happen. I know the Brewers swept them in the regular season - but thats a different team with Betts hitting. And Ohtani/snell/Yamamoto + a healthy bullpen

    So starting Ashby was enough to get CC to remove his best postseason hitter from the leadoff spot? I get that he'll be in the game at some point tonight - but jeez, overthink much Greg??
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    Can't like this enough - particularly against another LH starter
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Saw you posted this just before I hit 'submit' on my last post....I think "bullpen" game could definitely be in the cards if the Brewers get out to a lead early tonight.
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    Starting this out by stating that I definitely expect Priester to come in following 1-2 innings of Ashby tonight... However, I don't doubt that Murphy has an option in his back pocket that has Miz coming into this game instead of Priester - and saving Priester for Game 3 in Wrigley. I can see a scenario where the Brewers find a way to get a couple run lead early again, then Murphy tries to get 3-4 innings from Miz before letting the likes of Uribe, Koenig, Megill and company try to lock down a 2-0 series lead. That'd be a bit reckless...but IF Miz is going to play any sort of significant role on this pitching staff, IMO at home is the best way to try and use him (buffered by the bullpen on both sides, giving him the opportunity to roll through a lineup 1-2 times if he shows he's on - otherwise you get him out quickly).
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    I think we would all take 9 up, 9 down from Ashby to start game 2 - in my book thats not a scenario we need to be concerned with what happens next or if it was the right decision to open with him.

    Imanaga has had a mixed bag of results against the Brewers, too - will be interesting to see how many relievers Coun$sell has warming up in the pen in the 1st, because i bet he is just itching to get their main relievers into this game with any sign of trouble. If he doesnt give them any length in this game its a huge advantage for the Brewers the rest of this series. Scramble mode is no way to approach playoff game starts. I'm fine with opening with Ashby for an inning or two tonight - try to keep the Cubs off the board early and ramp up the pressure to get CC to do something foolish with his pen.

    Because playoff wins need to be determined by actual baseball rules, not by adjustments to regular season games to limit player wear and tear over a 162 game marathon. The NHL and NFL do the same thing, its not unique to baseball. Soccer deciding world cups with penalty kicks is a travesty
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    I rewatched that play a bunch -Chourio got frustrated and took his helmet off when he saw Murphy coming out of the dugout knowing he was getting pulled out of a game he already had 3 hits in. Compared to the 1st time he pulled that hammy, it wasn't like he was coming up lame down the line or even after crossing 1st, but you could tell he felt a twinge. Hopefully the MRI result is favorable and the day off gives them a chance to see where Chourio is at baseball activity-wise. Not saying he's for sure in the lineup Monday, but the "devastating" comment from Murph seems a bit too pessimistic. It would suck if he's out for awhile, but it's not like the hammy ripped off the bone and he needs surgery or something
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Besides losing the game, I guess. Moral victories dont add up to postseason wins - just ask the Reds
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    Exactly
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    I dont think that wouldve happened anyway, since there isnt a game tomorrow.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    No, 4 days rest is normal rest. I think its worth shutting him down tonavoid Cubs seeing him another trip through the order and to give relievers some work rest of today's game, though
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    let him go 5 and get the playoff W on his record - pitch count is very manageable right now
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    I think that's getting too cute in a short series - you give Freddy this game knowing you'll have him on regular rest for a game 4 start (if necessary). No need to start reshuffling anyone on the staff 2 innings into game 1 of a best of 5 series if you don't need to.
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    at least today's its being done while up 8 runs....but I get it. Wonder if after 5 or 6 IP if the game is still out of hand is when we see the Miz? Or will it make sense to give some other relievers an inning of work to knock off the rust?
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    jesus - make them hit the ball to get on. this is the crap that gives teams hope if you have free passes on when somebody runs into a mistake pitch
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Busch seems way too comfortable in the box - thinking his third at bat needs to include a few pitches to adjust that
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    The optimist in me is hoping he comes out there because the Brewers are already up 8 and there's zero need to risk anything the rest of today if he felt any sort of twinge going down the line. The Brewers fan in my just shakes my head with a "we can't have nice things vibe"
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    I believe Ozzie Guillen said it best years ago... "Fun is winning...and winning is fun"
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    I hope Civale stays in long enough for Vaughn to take him yard
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    if there was a line for it somewhere, I missed early retirement
