I'm so glad I won't be able to watch this, at least not the first 90 minutes or so, so I can make a choice to tune in if it's close. It's Miz for me. The only player that looked like an absolute stud for a month, with the most talent. That's the kind of player he needs to become anyway. Put the ball in the talent's hands and ride with the outcome. -
I'm kinda OK with that especially if Chourio can't run as well as you'd like. I want Jackson in more of an RBI spot especially when you have Joey Ortiz preceding him in the order. I don't have huge issues with the order. It's the insistence on Perkins and Ortiz driving me nuts, but most of all Turang just completely sucking. Enough with Ortiz. Put Mona in the lineup.

Keep Your Playoff Tickets Off Secondary Markets!
OldSchoolSnapper replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Higher stakes but the opponent was largely benign as far as Milwaukee goes. Also not a series we were really expected to win, though we certainly could have. Losing in this manner to the Cubs, in my opinion, is a worse black eye on our history. -
Lots of blah blah. Win a series. That's what I'm asking. Win a single series. This is just a big strawman. "If they did this, you'd say this." Yeah, no. Win a series against your biggest rival that you beat for the division title, got to play at home, and led 2-0. They've made the playoffs 6 of the last 7 years and have not advanced once. Stop acting like that's acceptable, or the result of being a small market. It's just failure.

Unpopular opinion, I'd throw Miz. He is the only guy with the talent to just overwhelm batters and blow right by them, which is what I'd bet the house on. Hope that the most talented pitcher you have is "on." I fully expect any of the other suggested starters to walk the bases loaded or give up another catastrophic HR. I could see Miz doing that too, but I am rolling the dice on the highest upside because I think that's what has to happen for us to win. And I'm with Adam. This is the most important game for this franchise in the last 8 years. Losing this game, in this fashion, to the Cubs is going to be worse than losing the last two NLCS.

It's worse for the Brewers as many have been involved in these prior choke jobs. They can say all the right things, everybody knows they're all thinking "not this again, really?" You could probably insert a Sunday lineup for every playoff game and just by chance, you'd win one of these last six series. It's incredible what they're on the verge of pulling off. Getting punked in a decisive Game 5 at home, against your biggest rival, led by the hometown kid manager who bailed for a few extra dollars, in a series you led 2-0 after setting a franchise record for wins and beating said team for the division title, is about the most Milwaukee sports outcome I can possibly imagine. I don't know what's left to hope for after that. I genuinely think this will drive me to just become a box score checker the day after. I can't keep investing in this.
-
Yeah...no. It's the realistic fan. It's the fan that's expecting history to repeat itself. Because it's all that has happened to this franchise since the dawn of time. I've accepted that destiny is for 30k depressed Brewers fans to silently file out of AmFam while Craig Counsel is doused in Gatorade and chants of Let's Go Cubbies echo off the roof.
-
Yeah we suck. Game over. Season over. Only the Brewers would humiliate themselves like this. Repeatedly. Started in '19 with that Hader meltdown and it's been a comedic failure since then. They will never change. Never.
-
I hate the walk there even though it makes no sense. It just feels like such a rally killer. If we get nothing across here I'm calling it a night. If we tie the game I'm making a bourbon cider.
-
I'll be moderately surprised if we score 2 runs between now and Saturday night. I've accepted death already.
-
Such a lame excuse. They've made the playoffs every year but one since 2018 and haven't won a single series since then. I've watched Atlanta, Tampa, Kansas City and Arizona play in recent World Series games. Seattle and Toronto are in the running right now.
-
They don't choke they just suck. The Packers and Brewers invent unbelievable ways to fail in situations that it's nearly inconceivable to do so. It's not en vogue to just be bad. You have to be good but find a way to choke. You can throw the Bucks in for honorable mention too. Losing to 7 and 8 seeds, losing a playoff game up by 8 with 30 seconds left or whatever.
-
Maybe the Packers. 1A and 1B.
-
I'm out. Best wishes to those of you suffering through this one. It's got 14 stranded runners, 8 hits and 0 runs written all over it.
-
It's astonishing to me the number of complaints I've heard about our offense. This is 100% on the guys pitching out of the gate. They've been nearly the only thing catastrophically wrong with this series. Of course there's been bad swings here and there, but 9, 7 and 3 is fine. We'd have won yesterday without that suckfest from Preister. Our offense or lack of dingers isn't why the wheels are falling off. Four consecutive first inning bombs. Who the hell does that?
-
Just wait. It's all table setting for him to be the difference on Saturday. This is what happens to us.
-
I'm much the same but someone has to start and they've all done the same thing anyway. Every guy in the dugout is already thinking "not this again." We are in big, big trouble.
-
This is going to be one of those games we'll lose 4-0 but I'll have to hear for 48 hours that our exit velocity was right where we need it.
-
We don't play tomorrow. But we all know how this movie ends. PCA joins the long list of opponent's lightning rod players that will be dancing on our graves and getting the last laugh.
-
Giving this 3 innings and clocking out. I truly cannot believe this is happening again. I can't follow this team anymore. Just can't.
-
Good job Ace. We're absolutely going to lose this series.
-
Turang needs to get his ass in gear. Matters more than whatever P starts the game.
-
Peralta should get the start. But it's very easy to imagine him at 90 pitches in 3 innings. Everyone is nervous as they should be, I think that tends to make people exaggerate everyone's flaws as a legitimate reason they shouldn't get the ball. But you go with the horse that got you here to try and end this thing now. And honestly, I don't really have less faith in Miz than anybody else.
-
I'm trying to convince myself this was merely us beating the 08 Phillies in Game 3. Cute, but meaningless, as they went on to win it all.
-
Correct, that is the most delicious path, going right through Chicago. I would of course be depressed if we lost to LAD/PHL, but I consider the season a success generally if we win this series.
