As long as there isn't a bunch of extra innings I think the risk in the longer series to over using the pen is over blown. Locking wins in is the way to go. How many games could Gonzalez pitch in for example since he only went 2 innings? Heck given how crazy the Brewers strategy has been you could probably even use him as a decoy and fake out Roberts.

Nope it's Arcia at first in the Cleanup spot

Even my wife is getting pulled into the excitement. If we make it to the World Series can we get Ueck to be part of the National broadcast? At the very least if there is a game 7 of the World Series Uecker should be in the TV booth.

On the plus side for Hiura he doesn't have to be the guy either with all of the other bats in the line-up. I'm very curious to see how he does in the fall league. I could see it being influential in how the Brewers think about the offseason. I'm sure either way they will have other options in place at second base to start the year, but who and how many options is a different story.

I went with Sling back in July and dealt with a lot of stupidity in the canceling from Direct TV. Given the price difference at nearly $100/ month I can't see going back, but I have encountered some annoying issues. Like despite never having any issues streaming Netflix, Sling will have issues at high traffic times of day. Theoretically my broadband provider has said I can upgrade my modem to get some more bandwidth. Part of the appeal of Sling was streaming from an account but he cell signal at my cabin is pretty awful and means at a minimum I need a booster to use it there.

Has anyone looked at BABIP vs. inning in the game? If the normal expectation on the relationship for BABIP is driven by starters getting tired and hit harder that 3rd time around that might be another feature of the quick hook and explain part of the drop. I just don't know if BABIP tends to rise along with the rest of the hitting stats as pitchers go deeper. From an ERA perspective though the quick hook and protecting starters from the multi-run mid innings is certainly going to improve their stat lines.

I'm all for giving Granderson a couple of RBI there.

You might very well be getting a non random fan sampling from twitter. I don't actually know anyone in real life who uses it.

Free Agent Starting Pitchers for 2019
igor67 replied to Eye Black's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think you are right, but I think to really appreciate Stearns' strategy you need to look at everything. They seem to have identified some definite characteristics in pitching prospects that signal dominant relievers, but maybe marginal starters. So in part they created a healthy part of the pen depth from internal prospects. At the same time recognizing that the free agent value for starters just isn't there, and you are better off making aggressive use of a truly deep pen to mask mid rotation starters. You still need a deep enough group of starters to cycle through guys with injury or performance issues. Finally I think a recognition that the prospect to player value is out of whack in certain cases means you can look at trading modest prospects for targeted bullpen depth (since bullpen guys are so volatile) to keep the strategy working over the course of a season. -
2018-10-02 (& 03): Wild Card Playoff Games
igor67 replied to Eye Black's topic in Archived Game Threads
I'm looking for an epic 18 inning game. I would imagine who ever wins at that point even with an off day is going to be pretty exhausted. -
I fell behind, but credit Yelich with taking one for the team and saving that HR and triple crown for later in the postseason.
-
We're just setting it up so Yelich can seal the triple crown and MVP with 1 swing and a grad slam

2018-09-30: Other MLB Games [2:00 PM CDT]
igor67 replied to Eye Black's topic in Archived Game Threads
Chicago has used 9 pitchers today, and the Cards had some chances late to make it really interesting. down to 1 out -
I'm not so greedy, I'll settle for a No-hitter
-
I did some preliminary calcs and Yelich's lead in the batting title is pretty secure. Someone in the .310 area or so would need a 4-4 or 5-5 day and Yelich would need to go 0 for Sunday and the potential Game 163 for it to be maybe possible. Oddly enough Can might have the best shot because he might get the extra game. He's got the HR as long as Carpenter doesn't hit one today though the possibility that the Rockies have to play 2 games with Story and Arenado sitting at 35 each gives them a chance to take that portion of the crown. The 2 RBIs to catch Baez are certainly possible even without some HRs.
-
Awesome article indeed. The voice seemed so authentic and very understated.
-
If the QB safety is this important make them 2 hand touch. I caught replays but not the actual games and those 2 tackles were so ridiculously clean I can't believe it. Until they come up with a sane way of handling this call I'm in the camp of having other things to do. I still have college and high school football. I've also been working at trying to understand rugby which is really interesting and constant action.

PDC with Timber Rattlers Extended thru 2022
igor67 replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Actually while things look good is a perfect time to just lock that relationship in place and guarantee things. After all the current owners could sell at anytime -
I would agree that I think Rodgers really prefers to go for the bigger plays, which works very well most of the time but I do think they need to be more willing to go to the old school West Coast style as the better defenses can force the big play offense into hibernation for long stretches.
-
Yelich also potentially benefits from having been in a different market recently(so a little bit of extra homerism), and for once the Marlins didn't sell a guy off to a traditional big market. A big series against the Cubs again could have a pretty big impact as well.
-
I concur with being greedy, snagging 1 more game if possible on the Cubs day sets you up to only need to win the Cubs series and being just 1/2 game back with 2 weeks to play. A very exciting scenario one that puts more pressure on the Cubs then us I think since they will be the ones trying not to completely choke away a nice lead everyone always expected them to have.
-
Heck pinch run for Yelich
-
I would concur on stealing a few innings rest for Cain and Yelich with the big lead and September roster
