You can think that, but he has not pitched in a month and his September was yikes. I think I still probably would have used Drohan between the two, but those were the only two realistic choices imo. That or just letting Senzatela ride it out, which I think would have been my personal move. What people aren't saying enough is that 12 IP 4 ER loss isn't putting enough blame on the offense. FWIW, I was advocating Drohan off the roster for Woodruff before the playoffs even started. He wasn't awful this season but he was trending the wrong way at the wrong time. Patrick had a good year. The walks were bad, but he was the last guy on. Wonder if he watched last night with a smile in his head. -
He's "available" but I thought he was showing signs of fatigue last night. I would rather give him the benefit of those 2 off days and fire it up for 2 chances at home.
-
Probably for the situation they used Woodruff in, which raises the same question.
-
Literally my only saving grace is here is they lose tonight and I attend Game 6 with my 80-year-old Dad.
-
Woodruff on the roster to only throw meaningless innings, if that ends up being the case, is the strongest criticism against Murphy/Brewers. I don't know how you justify even Drohan over Patrick given that mentality. Drohan has been trending south for a good 6 weeks.
-
I thought that was the proper move. He threw 5 pitches and is completely available tonight. If he sits and has to go another inning he might be available tonight, but who knows on what count or how that inning goes. Last night is the classic case of what Murphy has said all year. It works, you look like a genius, it doesn't, you're a clown. Watching this place pretend that Miz was some no-brainer call last night is laughable. If he comes in and they lose, this entire forum, Reddit, etc., is on absolute fire this morning. I have particularly enjoyed Miz drawing criticism for not being a true ace this postseason, but when it comes to being a closer, something he's never done, all the sudden he is a guaranteed 3 outs and everyone knows it should have been done. Give me a break.
-
No clue who bridges Miz to Megill. Uribe probably ok. I'd guess Romero is available. Harrison? But I'm thinking he's only there to eat innings up or down 10 again.
-
Nobody wants to see Drohan in a save situation but it needs to be evaluated against the actual available alternatives, not the vacuum people are pretending it happened in. It was the 12th inning of a series you're leading 3-0. The realistic alternatives were Kyle Harrison and if we want to pretend, Miz. Miz hasn't had great openings this postseason. He was hit 2/3 starts and turned two DPs, one was outright lucky in an inning he gave up 2 hits. That's with his proper stretch routine. It is a total wild card bringing him out of the bullpen. It is also very likely they already told him he was not pitching tonight and he was starting tomorrow. That's a huge deal mentally. It just isn't far fetched for me to see him coming in, walking the first 2 batters and now he's in a world of trouble and we've lost tomorrow's starter. It just wasn't worth it with the lead we have. You give him the ball to do what he does - start the game in normal circumstances on normal rest and hope he does what he's done all year.
-
I hope the Brewers approach this game sensibly knowing they have 2 shots at this at home. Starting Miz at all is enough to say they aren't punting, but I feel strongly that Ashby needs to sit this one out. Let him get 2 nights off and play both home games if necessary. I just have a bad feeling about him pitching tonight. They have to go to somebody else.
-
He was always going to start Game 5. He has to be available to throw an inning in Game 7, which he would 100% be asked to do.
-
This is such an odd post. It isn't babying him when he is going to start the game 20 hours later. They took a chance on one of few available arms getting 3 outs. It didn't work but they have him available to pitch half the game up 3-1. "Always an excuse"? What other time has he been there to bullpen the World Series? And isn't he pitching on the road tonight? Like, what?
-
Ok but there really weren't any? They had burned through nearly every non SP.
-
Yeah I'm gonna pass on that. 3-2 and this thing is up in the air. I still like our odds but every game needs to be Game 7 now.
-
Who was really available besides Drohan? I'm not considering Miz a real option but Harrison? It was not a good place to be. I was desperately hoping they'd knock Chourio in during the top half. I hope there isn't so little faith in Harrison that Drohan was the preferred choice. I hope it's that Harrison is tomorrow's bridge to the pen. Really think Ashby needs to sit tomorrow. Gotta be a reason Harrison was rostered.
-
You start him in 5, he gets the travel day and game 6 off, he comes out of the pen in 7 if necessary.
-
Miz should go as long as he can tomorrow whether that's 4 or 7. I would give Ashby the day off and shelf him for this thing going back to MKE on 2 days off. He looked tired. Megill should be available. I shudder to say it but if Harrison is on the roster I assume he's pitching at some point. Tomorrow might be that point.
-
The use of Woodruff threw me off. I figured he was there for a real purpose but using him in a 10-0 game and then seeing him surrender a run made me question why he was used in favor of Patrick. Prior to the series, I wouldn't have taken Patrick off the roster anyway. If I'm being honest, it's May and then Drohan, but if they believe May is the best choice to start, to me the worst option was easily Drohan. When it became clear that Woodruff wasn't a serious pitcher, definitely scratched my head a bit.
-
Stop being a douche. Not really what I said. You're mad we lost. It's ok.
-
The series is absolutely losable but that is entirely on the players and nothing the fans or message boards do is going to play a role. You can lose 4 games in a row in April, July and yes even the World Series after winning 3. It's completely plausible they ride a high to 3-2 and then all bets are off. It was there tonight and we blew it.
-
3 outs away from the title and I expect people to be fired up about losing a game that crappily. But sorry, I am not gonna get on this "Miz had to be out there in the 12 inning of a series you're leading 3-0 when he's likely the SP the following day" wagon. Everyone making that argument knows deep down it's a stretch with tremendous downside.
-
oh he is? I'm glad you know that's how it would have happened, lol. I'm sure you wouldn't be the first guy calling for Murphy's head if he came in and lost the game.
-
You need to play Miz as though the series will go 7 games and he appears as many times as possible if that happens. That means tomorrow, and bullpenning a Game 7.
-
If someone is going to lose after 0-3, a game like this would be the lynchpin. Just a horrific way for that game to end.
-
Yes and it still would have been reckless.
-
That we didn't get any of the next 4 guys out either so I'm not convinced Ortiz really did much.
