    Yeah, I figure a couple key guys get to rest each game.

    I just did 10 trials using WP3 and we made the playoffs 6 times (Astros weren't close in the games we won, so I didn't add in their final game). I think the lowest win total we had while making the playoffs was 88. EDIT: I just started refreshing really fast and hit a scenario with a three-way tie. Neat-o. Time to try to find a four-way tie. EDIT 2: This is fun. I have a sim on the screen right now where we lose our next 5 games and still end up tied with the Mets for the WC. They lose their next 6 games.

    I thought about that for a moment, but I realized that even if it was discussed, it would be really hard for the players to not try to win once they got on the field. If we get lucky (and are still in the wild card hunt), we might not have to face Harden or Zambrano in the last series. I could definitely see Lou resting Harden to get ready for the playoffs (he would pitch final game against us if I counted correctly) and we would miss Zambrano.

    Right. I think all of the hopeful and "what if" scenarios work under the assumption that the Brewers start playing decently. Obviously, if we keep losing, it doesn't matter what the other teams do.
  5. dlk9s
    That makes sense. The big problem I see with that, though, is it would likely mean the bullpen would be used more. And the way those guys have been pitching lately, I don't think we want that.

    This is called "results oriented thinking." One can make good decisions, but still end up with bad results. Novice poker players often make this mistake. You might see a player fold a crappy hand that would have ended up winning, only to hear them say, "Man, I made a bad decision to fold there." No, you made a good decision. The outcome just wasn't what you wanted.

    As much as I hate the Cubs, once a Lilly no-no looked like a distinct possibility, I was actually rooting for it to happen. That would have been amazing to see.
  8. dlk9s
    This is completely irresponsible and I hope you are kidding.

    They will pitch half of our remaining games with a 5 man rotation. Both pitch in both Cubs series. CC goes in the final Reds game and Ben goes in the first Pirates game. To put it another way, with 12 games left, we're looking at: CC, Ben, Manny, Bush, Soup, CC, Ben, Manny, Bush, Soup, CC, Ben

    And then the players voted Yost off Survivor Island?
  11. dlk9s
    Because he's injured.
  12. dlk9s
    Hargrove. I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson wanted to manage again, however, considering he did coach the Olympic team.
  13. dlk9s
    We're going to be ULTRA aggressive on the base paths now, that is, if anyone gets on base.
  14. dlk9s
    Yup, just saw it on JSOnline, but can't load the page for the story. Site must be flooded right now. Well, I guess the poop just hit the fan.

    Just saw it on ESPN and ran to my computer for details. Will post more if I find out anything before others do.
  16. dlk9s
    I saw a stat on ESPN that today is the most double headers since 1980. There were 6 on that day back then, with the visiting team sweeping 4. So, I guess if you want to lump tomorrow in with today and call it a weekend of double headers, we have a chance!
  17. dlk9s
    I just tuned into the game on the internet. Anyone here a reason why Yost went Dillard, McClung, Villy, rather than just leaving one of the first two in for two or three innings, at least (admittedly, I can't remember if Dillard is capable of multiple innings)? Not really a criticism of Yost, just curious. I like that he pulled Parra early and does seem to be doing what he can to claw back into this game. I guess he just wanted the pinch hitters?

    This is what brewmann keeps forgetting while bragging about a prediction that has yet to come true. If the Astros pass the Brewers, it would be A LOT more because of the Brewers than it would be because of the Astros.
  19. dlk9s
    Since August 16, which was when Braun came back from his injury (he did have another short stint when he sat out during this stretch): .291/.364/..519/.883 For the season (neither set of numbers includes September 10): .298/.343/.576/.919 So, he's lost some power, but we don't know if that has anything to do with the injury. He has also increased his OBP. Overall, the numbers seem to indicate that he's been playing fine.
  20. dlk9s
    I don't think you understand the point that people (including me) have made in this thread. Nobody's "worried" about the Astros. We're "worried" about the Brewers. If the Astros pass us, it's because we played incredibly horribly in September. If we play that horribly, which we are so far, at least one of the teams behind us will pass us. The fact that it might specifically be the Astros is not the concern. They were way behind us not long ago and it has taken a tremendous cold streak by the Brewers for them to get to four games back. If the Brewers had just played decently for the last week and a half, the Astros wouldn't have had a chance. As I said earlier in the thread, if the Astros pass us, we have more to worry about than just the Astros. The Astros potentially catching us is because of the Brewers, not the Astros.

    I think most people here will argue that the callups aren't being used ENOUGH. Obviously, nobody really expects them to start any games, and they shouldn't, but considering how poorly we're hitting right now, it might not hurt to give a couple of them an extra pinch hit appearance or two.

    It's a Tuesday night and people have to go to work in the morning, most likely.
  23. dlk9s
    If I did the calculations correctly, that was the maximum number of players that could bat in an inning and only have one runner cross the plate.
  24. dlk9s
    By the way, it looks like MLB.com has introduced "Gameday mini." Nice if you're multitasking.
  25. dlk9s
    I bet TBS filmed that August 31st and jinxed the hell out of us.
