  1. This is traditionally a spot Happ hits a 600 ft home run.
  2. this seems like a good baseball decision and so far this game i feel like we have made 14 bad baseball decisions and that has us up 4 runs. so i think that means Bauers pitches the 8th.
  3. Oh playoff Chad Patrick is actually Cy Young? Cool. Cool cool.
  4. Alright Patrick, your turn. Deep breaths and throw strikes.
  5. Miz you son of a gun. The first inning you threw was the first time in my life I've ever wanted a cigarette but you just dusted off 3 innings for us.
  6. chourio even turning the cubs fans in this chat into brewers fans. thats how electric he is.
  7. low key love him running that over there ... don't chance it haha. good job kid.
  8. I would like to be very wrong but Miz makes me really nervous.
  9. I have no idea what to feel right now. We won 19 out of the last 20 starts Priester made and we have a home crowd and we are throwing a bullpen game. I guess we don't have full trust in Quintana so we are trying to steal one now? I'm spinning a bit..
  10. Darling "Cubbies need a zero here, gotta have it" ... don't even try to hide that bias my guy
  11. lets fffffffffffffffff go
  12. scoreboard just said Mears is up in the pen
  13. You haven't posted here since 9/1 and before that you were telling everyone to put money on the Cubs to win the division... if you are trying to be discreet about your loyalty you are not very good at it my friend. Either way, welcome to Wisconsin and drive safe on your way back tonight.
  14. $10mil total for the numbers that Vaughn and Bauers gave us combined in the 2nd half is well worth it IMO if that is what it comes out to. The $2mil number on Bauers is very tradeable too if other options present themselves before/during ST.
  15. Can't really process this ... I was convinced after watching it live that he was out until the WS minimum. He is leading off in Gm2. Incredibly happy... but no longer trust my eyes.
  16. I'm not disagreeing with anyone's opinion here ... they are all valid. I would be ecstatic if he pitched 3 clean. I'm just cautioning to separate what some people want to happen vs what will happen so when Ashby gets pulled after 1 inning and 19 pitches or 2 innings and 26 pitches people don't get over emotional about it for their own sake. I've been on the record multiple times this year saying I don't love the opener concept because I'd rather the starter just be in his routine ... but that's not how the Brewers have operated with Priester and lineups that have gashing top of the order splits. So I no longer get upset because I know how they are going to pitch their guys, because they have been consistent about it. The Brewers have viewed Priester as a "twice through the order" guy almost exclusively this entire season. So if they are going to give him 20-22 hitters tonight ... they want Busch and Tucker to each only be 2 of those guys. They want Priester to get through the 6th so we can go Koenig/Mears, Uribe, Megill to finish it. The best way to get him through the 6th is to skip the first run of lefties for him.
  17. Ashby giving you 3 clean innings defeats the entire purpose of him starting unless his 3rd inning clears the top of the order a 2nd time.
  18. Please don't take over another thread with this. You have your own thread already to do this. Please.
  19. Others can correct me if I'm wrong but the thinking behind an opener is to maximize your starter (Priester in this case) getting through the order twice. If the Brewers don't want Priester going through an order for a 3rd time (which has often been the strategy this season) ... and the top of the opponent's order has tough lefties in it - if you can get through that spot with someone else and avoid your starter getting into early trouble.. you can let him get into a rhythm against the bottom half of the order and cruise through innings 2/3-6/7. I would bet on Ashby getting 1 inning, MAYBE 2 if the 1st is really quick. I don't see a scenario that he pitches into the 3rd. We need him available in every game this series.
  20. Dodgers 4-2 Brewers (Sep 30, 2020) Box Score - ESPN
  21. If it were me I would not have an opener tomorrow and would just let Quinn do his thing. But I do have a few flashbacks of Suter in the first inning and I wonder if there is just a little bit of Murphy trying to protect Quinn from the first inning nervousness of it being a playoff game?
  22. Quintana has a ton of experience in Wrigley and in the playoffs. If we have a starter who won't be phased in a hostile environment... it is him. Priester's first taste of the playoffs, give him the home crowd. We shouldn't overthink this one IMO.
  23. This is the same conversation as the trade deadline. You can't argue one way without arguing the other one. What if we had traded adames for a third baseman that underperformed and we never ended up getting Durbin? That's probably a six-win swing and we are on the road right now in the playoffs. The what ifs go both ways..
  24. This seems like a great opportunity for Miz. Get his first playoff appearance out of the way in a relatively low pressure situation, so if we need him in a couple of days, he has less of a chance of being nervous..
