Agree. Not even winning "our way." Rather sloppily. -
I don't want to get ahead of myself but this story would make a better film than Moneyball which was a great movie.
-
I think you make him go if the game is tied. 3 run lead and they were kind of spiraling, make them pitch a guy out.
-
He was toast. The way the ball landed he had all of his momentum going into that throw.
-
I'm sorry, John, it's not that hard to be the Dodgers manager.
-
Been doing this crap all playoffs, honestly. Getting away from what got us to 103. The defense has been very bad other than last night. The flash plays have been there but so many uncharacteristic errors.
-
2-run homer will be better.
-
Sadly that was exactly the half inning I expected but we've got him to 39 pitches so that's something.
-
Dodgers are eventually sending a ball out in this series and we are putting guys on for free a bit too much for it not to hurt us. Make them work for it to be more than a solo shot.
-
I think there's advantages to both. I like the task of only needing to grab one of three on the road if you protect the first two. But if the low seed splits the first two it really does feel like they immediately have a big advantage. If you get to 3 wins on the road, love getting two shots at home to close it out.
-
Turang getting it together would just be swell.
-
I don't want to be apocalyptic but I do feel like we need both of these first two. We will go into LA with some sort of May/Gasser thing going on and it's just hard for me to see us leaving there squared up.
-
Leadoff walk comes around for first blood 2 nights in a row.
-
I'm sure there is one, but I don't remember our pitchers really getting shelled in recent playoff memory. I have a lot of painful low-scoring memories and some blown saves but not much in the way of starts that just went terribly wrong. Marcum, Gallardo, etc. but not so much recently.
-
Our top starters have just got to stop with the leadoff free passes. Make him lace one off the wall but you just can't do that.
-
Actually way more than I would have guessed. I figured 3 or 4 teams would have a dozen different guys but that most teams only made the playoffs once or twice and not with the same guys enough to have them stack wins.
-
Misleading in that it implies their pitchers haven't pitched well, but the reality is far more nuanced than that. It's just kind of a hard thing to do not only because it's difficult, but you just don't get that many cracks at it. The elite guys end up traded, your hook is much shorter in October, and for the starters they pretty much need a series victory to even get a second start. Between 1983 and 2017 the Brewers made the playoffs twice. Hard to get multiple playoff wins that way. This statistic truthfully is mostly limited by the years 2018-now. It's not as jarring when you look at it that way. I would ask how many teams have 3 different players with 2 postseason wins since 2018? Maybe a handful?
-
Woodruff has 4 career playoff starts and a 1-3 record in 8 total appearances. ERA 3.18. I don't have the logs of those starts but he has pitched well. Burnes has similarly good numbers. It's just a different format of play that isn't conducive to racking up recorded wins for a single player, and there has been a pretty bad string of luck in there too.
-
The guys now are getting many more chances to get a win with the expanded field. Doesn't help that statistic when they were using 7 pitchers to get through a game either. When they have someone like Hall or Ashby who can come in for short innings multiple days, they will get more cracks at a W. I think it's a bit misleading of a stat. It doesn't totally shock me that a recent starter doesn't have two recorded wins. They just don't get many chances. When they have a top line guy, he usually gets flipped before a big contract as well.
-
I've been thinking the same thing. The LOB, RISP, can't get much worse. They weren't even playing their brand of defense against SD. Last night was the first game where it felt like the structure of their defense really and truly won them a game that easily flips with weaker parts in the field. One damn game that they can blow up like 6-1 and get some lower leverage arms going, would be fantastic. Tonight would be perfect.
-
Yeah I'm not sure how anyone could have the take to bench Ortiz. One of those DPs doesn't get turned if it's anybody else.
-
Feel exactly the way I did after game 1 last series. Like we stole a win but it wouldn't be sustainable. Hopefully the same result.
-
I can't watch a 2-1 top 9th. Please score one damn run.
-
Two slowest guys on the team at first and at the plate and you do that.
-
That's a big K.
