Was he supposed to avoid that somehow?
-
He was late and had to rush to get ready for the game because he stopped to gather some beaver pelts
-
Big hit by Kratz so that the pitcher doesn't lead off the next inning
-
[sarcasm]How much of an advantage in this cold weather does Miley have given that he's an 1890s gold prospector?[/sarcasm]

Alright, that'll do it!!

Keon is just a better version of Arcia (better defense, better offense), so I don't see why it's crazy. Having an elite defender in the outfield at Coors is more valuable than you may realize. Removing one of your hottest hitters in Braun, who is still a big presence in the lineup that is a threat to go deep every time he steps up to the plate, after 4 innings and taking at least 2 maybe 3 at bats away from him is the major downfall. I would want 3 extra at bats from Braun over Broxton every day of the week. That's completely reasonable and it's what Craig is going to do, but it's not ridiculous to prefer Keon in a stadium where outfield defense is huge. For what it's worth, Braun was worth 1.3 fWAR this season in 125 G, and because of his defense Keon was worth 1.1 fWAR in 51 G even with a down offensive line for him. And keep in mind Braun is at his least effective against RHP.

Between this and starting most of the playoff games while people are at work, it really is inexplicable.

The key is going to be to claw out a lead early. If we're leading after 4.0 IP, I would bring in Keon for Braun and combine that with our high-K/9 bullpen to neutralize Coors.

When I checked the Denver forecast I saw rain starting about 3:00. I assume that's local time, so about an hour after the game starts. Looking at the radar, it doesn't look like a washout storm coming through but definitely an hour or more of rain. I would think/hope they push back the start of the game instead of starting and trying to play through with an inevitable delay. The weather looks worse for tomorrow and it's not like these teams have to travel for tomorrow either, so delaying the start makes the most sense for me. It's much to our benefit if they start and Marquez gets knocked out after 1.0 IP and a delay

2018 Standings and Playoff Race Discussion
SRB replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think the Cleveland rumors were centered on Danny Salazar, who didn't end up pitching a single inning this year due to injuries. No way was Carrasco on offer for Santana plus. -

Miley penciled in for Game 3, but I would rather go with a Freddy/Guerra tandem and let Miley start Game 4 if needed. True, Miley is a groundball pitcher, but he gives up a lot of contact (bad in Coors), the Rockies have decimated LHP at home (bad for Miley), and the Rockies as a team have feasted on cutters this season (bad for Miley's best pitch). They've been the best team in baseball by a substantial margin against the cutter.
-
Has Miley been formally announced as the starter for Sunday, or is MLB.com speculating? Going with a LHP against this Rockies team in Coors is risky!
-
New nickname for the bullpen, the Plumbers' Cracks? "Opposing teams don't want to see them, but see them they will"
-
That's fine but what it it's 3-2 in the 7th on Sunday and you want him to go 2 innings? 5 high-leverage innings in 4 days is a lot for a reliever. Someone else should be able to finish this. Being up 2-0 in the series we don't need to push Jeffress on Sunday now.
-
I think Craig gave Jeffress the 2.0 IP save (with no real backup) to guarantee his confidence is still there.
-
The Rockies offense is one of the best in the game. I wouldn't take 4 R for granted.
-
Kratzy the Clown!
-
Is Keon Broxton going to play 1B?
-
Chris Rusin is garbage too. Make them pay!
-
Perez is in the game because of the LHP, and he has two huge doubles, he's obviously not the first choice against a RHP former closer... Striking out with the bases loaded is necessarily bad, by the way. You want to approach the AB with the goal of either striking out or making elevated contact.
-
Anything Perez does there other than GIDP I am happy.

Get Moustakas out of the way for the Perez Slam!
