I have, potentially, a stupid question. What is the official rule on a walk off situation like we just witnessed in terms of dead ball/advancement pertaining to a challenge extending a game? One out. Single to left. Turang is ruled safe, Mitchell goes to 3rd, Bauers stopped around 1st to watch. If the call on the field is overturned, I'm assuming Mitchell to 3rd, Bauers on 1st and we play on. Is there a scenario where Mitchell can also score on the continuation of the play so if the play is overturned upon review, we still score the winning run with two outs on that play? I'm assuming I know the answer, I just can't find the rule to verify the game is 'paused' upon Turang being ruled safe if a review is requested. I'm assuming the game ends when the winning run scores but the possibility of the review process makes it murky for me. If Bauers is able to advance to 2nd after his single during the throw (if he is halfway there or something) - why wouldn't Mitchell also be allowed to continue to another base if he is rounding 3rd during the play?

NL Central Discussion 2026
liveforoctober replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Optically is interesting too because I think a lot of Brewers' fans would say the Cubs are red hot right now and a lot of Brewers' fans would say the Brewers are limping along. -
I am fully on board with you calling Ortiz "Pena" and confusing everybody (x2!) here into a hysteria because they missed your comment here and don't get the reference. Great movie.
-
Drohan as our #5 is pretty incredible. Pray for rotational health for the remainder and let's go get it.

Perspective is an amazing thing. If he was wearing Cardinals colors still there is a decent percentage of me that would see this and immediately think "man, St. Louis is a clown show." ... But my immediate thought when I saw this was "hell yeah".
-
Let's remember this Cubs sweep at the end of the year and see if it cost us the division or earned us the 1 seed.

Yeli MVP confirmed.

Question of the week: Grade the trade deadline
liveforoctober replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
All valid, good points. From a slugging aspect we didn't budge too much. -
Can you imagine this site is we struck out 9 consecutive at bats 👀 👀 👀

Unexpected/"Undeserved" support can be a powerful tool!

Oh duh, of course. That's my bad.

ESPN gamecast has him at 53 through 4ip.

Would we win more without him? My personal opinion is no, I don't think so. I think there are better in game guys who could handle the position but I just am not sure if there are better guys out there who could lead a band of 'misfits' the way he does. This is just my opinion... but Murphy is a classic case of "love him for who he is, don't hate him for who he isn't" type of thing to me. What he brings to the position is an ability to lead and brings guys together, make them believe in themselves. I think it is a super fair critique to say some of his in game decisions and some of his lineup concoctions are suspect. I just see guys like Bauers and Vaughn and Megill and Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins and Frelick and Mitchell and Priester and Durbin and Nick Mears and Grant Anderson etc etc etc ... and I just wonder how much of what they provide/d for us in the last 36 months is because of who their leader is. Would those guys and others have had as much success with Counsell's cold embrace being what greeted them in the dugout every day? I think critiquing Murph is fair game and an opinion I wouldn't challenge. I also think we have a good one leading us and the warts he has are just another piece to the puzzle that we are needing to overcome, while also acknowledging those warts are few compared to the asset that he is.

Question of the week: Grade the trade deadline
liveforoctober replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I guess I would ask why moving from Ortiz/Hamilton/Rengifo to Pratt/Ortiz/Hamilton and moving from Bauers/Frelick/Perkins to Bauers/Lara/Frelick* isn't considered an in-season upgrade? I was open to a surprise bat at the deadline ... just had no idea who that could have been. I think Civale was a trade deadline holdover from '24. -
When Yelich comes to bat with a runner on first AND second base open ... I wonder if that first pitch should be an auto hit and run. Half+ of his at bats end in a ground ball anyway - might as well get the middle infielders off their toes and see if you can't create a hole for yourself. Simplify the at bat, you are swinging at this first pitch one no matter what, put it in play. Hit a ground ball at the shortstop and we have ourselves a rally. I say that with 50% seriousness and 50% blue font.
-
The biggest shock to me this trade deadline was the lack of movement to "unclutter" the log jam of guys that are holding up promotions. As mentioned above, the only guy who has a fairly obvious promotion now available is Payne. Not that you trade guys just to trade guys... but I thought teams would be all over our phone lines to get some of our AA and AAA "extras".
-
Exactly. Their money spends the same as anyone else's and they need to be kept happy to keep showing up the same ... but this maybe isn't the kind of carrot to throw them :(
-
We have such a logjam of infielders in the minors that I assumed pitching was going back but was hoping it was a Boeve or O'Rae headliner. I guess we have the outfield set at the big league level for a bit.. but I didn't think we'd shave off two of our best OF prospects per se. Deep breath.
-
Lot to take in. The optics of the deadline to the casual fan should and shouldn't play a factor in making moves. It is an interesting dynamic. There are many, many fans who will be at the game tonight who have no idea who either Ragsdale or Frias are so they will see this trade and be great with it. Then there are a lot here who would not have done Frias straight up for May/Jojo.

Rosenthal: Where are the Brewers?
liveforoctober replied to ImissDougMelvin's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I have a hunch it isn't a new poster. You don't show up the day before the trade deadline with "ImissDougMelvin" as your username without intent. I'm assuming it is one of our resident grumps who wants a few days of trolling without the repercussions and then will disappear by Wednesday.. *Edit, also did not know someone else mentioned this in another thread. -
Nevermind. I just saw you made your account less than a day ago and have posted over 30 times, including saying a part of you hopes the Brewers tank the year. I don't need to be a part of this.
-
You are just saying things to say things. Watch this... You know full well the guys on the team are excited and inspired that the Brewers front office believe in them enough to get the job done without bringing in hired help. This could be the XFactor in them going on a run here. Young guys starting to believe in themselves... Just as nonsensical to say my thing without any shred of evidence to back it up.

This is actually a really good comparison I think. All of the elite quarterbacks and outside position groups always went to the big name schools and we had to get really good at a different brand of football to compete. Won us a ton of games, but it always seemed we got out done at the end by a team of alpha athletes. Badgers fans now are longing for the Alvarez days coincidentally.
