Without knowledge of how he talks to guys off camera... I have an assumption one of Murphy's greatest assets as a coach is knowing how to coach individual players to their personality and not just blanket everyone with the same style. Some guys respond to a hug/some guys respond to a kick in the butt kind of thing. He seems to poke fun at Sal a lot, he constantly praises Yelich for his leadership. With some players he references their skillset more often than other things (Hamilton, Ashby come to mind) while other guys he talks about their mentality/toughness more so (Bill and Megill come to mind). Different ways to get different guys to perform. I say all of that because in his post game presser he dug at Sproat again. He has done this a handful of times now with him specifically. "Not good enough." "Need more." "Not here for try-ers." He seems to go after Sproat more willingly than others and if I had to guess it isn't just an obvious performance thing ... but also that is the button he thinks is the one that will get Sproat to go. Just an observation.

2026 Misc MLB News Thread
liveforoctober replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere, but with the Holiday weekend madness I wasn't as on top of the news cycle and missed this myself... Posted without additional commentary.. -
Both Henderson and Crow threw on Saturday so they are both lined up to be on 4 day's rest for Thursday. I don't think either will be expected to get you through 6+ but Henderson threw 68 pitches and Crow threw 53... So both should be fine to eat up the first 1/3 of the game at minimum. Piggy back Patrick and we should be ok.

Brandon Woodruff Back On Brewers' Injured List
liveforoctober replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He's going to play a key role for us down the stretch being in the dugout. Those young guys are going to need him. Anyone with knowledge on the injury, if he has the same recovery timeline as his first go around.. is there any reason going to the bullpen to shorten his usage/exposure would keep him fresh enough to help us in September? I wouldn't even try to get him back in a month if I'm Milwaukee. 60day DL him... He would eligible to be back the first week of September. Give his 40spot to another arm that can help us or swing that first trade of the summer for a bullpen piece. -
I don't mind Rom and I know McGee pitched last night - but McGee has been struggling down in AAA and I wonder when his roster spot will go to someone like Holub or Knehr or the like to give us another option. McGee has been passed up repeatedly now for the last 2+ months... if we can't bring him up, keep the wheel spinning?

On the main boards we had talked earlier this year about what numbers constitute a real 3TO player... and arbitrarily came up with 50% roughly as a watermark. Schwarber leads baseball in HR and K this year and his HR/BB/K ratio to his PA is 56.5% .... which is crazy. In Appleton this year Fischer was at 59.8% and in his 15 games in Biloxi that has climbed to 63.9%. Special stuff. However you want to define special.

2026 Misc MLB News Thread
liveforoctober replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is my favorite thing. Can you imagine if Sanchez did this in the 1st inning? The IGT would implode. -
You know ... I just saw the replay of the Chourio hit in the 11th for the first time. You hear these things called on the radio or you just see the gamecast and you create your own visual of what happened... I was not ready for the actual footage. What in the laugh out loud emoji was Thompson doing?
-
Oh, yes. I wasn't thinking. I am the one who said that Adamczewski was taking his spot with the call up lol
-
We used every good bullpen arm we have tonight. Woodruff better have gone to bed 2 hours ago, he has some work to do tomorrow.
-
Grant earned that win.

I do have an issue with the auto-pinch running Perkins for Vaughn thing. If the Brewers have the lead and the defensive move is inevitable, fine. But if we are tied, I don't think we are playing the correct percentages - especially in a non-steal situation. At least not initially. Perkins for Vaughn from 1st increases the chances of scoring on a double by a good margin - but the chances of a double being hit are low single digits? So the amount of doubles Perkins will score on compared to Vaughn PLUS the low chance a double is hit is probably something like a 1-2%ish chance of the move being necessary? Now if Vaughn reaches 2nd, I am ok with the pinch runner because scoring from a single AND the likelihood of a single being hit are much higher probabilities. I also understand going 1st to 3rd, etc. I can't say for certain if PR Perkins for Vaughn immediately like they are doing has produced the necessary result to make it the right move yet this year. But we now have a data point (tonight) where pinch running him did not alter us scoring, did not alter the defense the following inning, and DID take an at bat away from Vaughn with a chance to win the game later. Sorry, that is a lot of typing. Main point, let the situation breathe a little before auto pulling Vaughn in those spots. We have more options than we think? Am I wrong?

Love you Brice.

I REALLY WISH I COULD BE WATCHING THIS ON MY TV RIGHT NOW. IM NOT UPSET.
-
Reading those 2019 scouting reports.
-
8-9-10 due up this inning.
-
Don't particularly love extra innings during a long stretch of games ... might as well win this while we are here though.
-
Be a hero Blake.
-
With the Cubs getting smacked today ... really would love to make them pay for it and grab this one.
-
Gamecast only here... no eyes. If that play was funny at all please describe..
-
We are going to get a Vaughn at bat against a lefty with a RISP, aren't we?
-
If Boeve is finally healing/has finally healed from his injury... he might be the answer at 3B?! Two years ago he was flying through the system and we thought he wasn't far from a 40man spot back then... then the injury took a year from him.
-
Vulture has spoken... the offense now has permission.
-
Cubs started the day +63 run differential and the Cardinals were -4. At this pace let's see who is better when this is done.
-
This Cubs game has been a joy to follow along with thus far. Maybe a silver lining to Peterson's start against us is that it bought him a month or more that they will stick with him..
