    Game 4 in LA. Brewers up 3-0 in the series. Tie game goes to extras. Yelich is mired in an 0-36 slump. Camera comes back from commercial break and slowly spans the LA crowd before coming to rest on a singular Brewers fan donning the visitor's jersey. He slowly stands to reveal '#9 Uecker' on his back. He starts flapping his arms, slowly. From the dugout, Murphy glances over to Yelich. "Yeli you are hitting for Vaughn" Yelich sends the first pitch he sees deep into the LA night giving Milwaukee the lead. . . The phone rings in the bullpen. An old wily vet stands and starts loosening. From his press box, Clayton Kershaw breaks into a sweat. 15 consecutive 90 mph fastballs later the Dodgers have been eliminated and the Brewers are heading to their first World Series in over 40 years. The camera pans back to the crowd, the fan wearing #9 is gone. After the game Woodruff reveals he has needed surgery this whole time, but held off for one final inning. His career is over.

    I don't mind playing the hits. What a sweet walk off to wake up to. Thanks Seattle!

    I'm not wanting to go through the game thread so I apologize if this has been said already... but barring crazy things that just about locks up the Cy Young for Miz. I'm not taking for granted that we have the best pitcher in baseball putting together one of the best pitching seasons of all time.

    This run sponsored by Venezuela.

    Tip of the cap to Bill and Drew for making him work a little that inning if nothing else.
  6. liveforoctober
    What a gift. Miz was going to be approaching 20 pitches in the inning.. Acuna saved him.

    Is today the day Joey Ortiz' OPS goes above Wild Bill's?

    The Germans! Yannic Walther having a sneaky good season for us as well.

    Just poking around some rosters it looks like Salas is ready to go in San Diego. I wonder what Campusano would cost us if we do decide to move Bill this off season? I am not great at reading defensive metrics for catchers - how does Luis grade out behind the dish?

    Small notation about the Cubs schedule - their biggest consecutive stretch is 13 straight going into September and both Brewers series are in that stretch including the final 3 (in MKE). Could mean nothing and truthfully if they can't get up for that series then the division is over but hopefully we can catch some tired arms if nothing else.

    This is random but I was thinking about Yophery today for some reason and I hadn't checked on him all summer. How do we feel about his season? .248/.320/.775. Hasn't hit lefties at all. Looks like April was v.good and then went into a tailspin for about 8 weeks before resurfacing lately. Also, this was my first real check in on both Ragsdale and Frias post trade... they both have sputtered since leaving.

    We have put ourselves in a really good spot. More importantly - we have 7 games remaining against them. If we can go 4-3 in those 7 that puts the Cubs in a real tight spot to try and chase us down. Also to note we are 4-2 against them thus far ... so need a minimum 3 of those 7 to take the season series. We should have a lot of favorable paper matchups the rest of the way ... just win those and we should be just fine!

    Seattle going to burn some arms leading into the Cubs series. Hopefully none of their 'good' ones.

    Great at bat Brice. Start chipping away.

    Not letting this year's thread go without including Cy.

    I wonder if it is a power thing? If you are just taking high pitch softball swings maybe you just pick your stronger side? Lara hit as many home runs from the right side as he did the left in AAA this year in roughly 30% of the at bats. No idea, just a guess
  17. liveforoctober
    Not that this is worth anything per se... but that game just gave us a huge leg up on securing a Top 5 scoring offense for the season. The Braves/Rockies/Sox have to make up about 30 runs now the rest of the way.
  18. liveforoctober
    I know Lara was laughing about the HR being off a position guy... But low key I hope that unlocks something in him. Doesn't matter who it is off, having one leave the yard has to feel like something. Maybe he loosens up just a little and swings freely.

    Make it 4. His ability to draw walks is borderline dumbfounding.

    Holy smokes Bauers is #10 in all of baseball in OPS. He is going to get MVP votes.
  21. liveforoctober
    This is a good point. If he accepts and we don't play - all of his replacements (Burke, Fischer, +) will be ready for '28.
  22. liveforoctober
    Bitonti looking for all of his friends today..
  23. liveforoctober
    It's crazy but I agree Bauers is very possibly a QO guy. There might be a lot of logic there. The likelihood of a salary floor being implemented is going to require the Brewers to increase payroll by a low to mid 8 figure number.. and in a "worst case" scenario where Bauers accepts, him getting a big payout for one season (while the young options mature for another year) to help Milwaukee get up to that number instead of giving an inflated contract to a street FA is far more favorable to us IMO.
  24. liveforoctober
    Have no idea if this played a factor but I imagine his swing had to be sore after taking that fall the day before the series started. I know it is an excuse he wouldn't use but he had to be feeling that.

    Ah, gotcha. I think we are talking about two different things. I am talking about an initial comment and you are talking about the response to a comment.
