In a hypothetical playoff series, I'm going with the darkhorse 1978 Brewers The lineup has to be the deepest and most balanced in Brewers history. Among guys with 400+ PA: 3B Sal Bando .285/.371/.439, .366 wOBA, 5.6 fWAR LF Larry Hisle .290/.374/.533, .403 wOBA, 5.0 fWAR 1B/2B/3B Don Money .293/.361/.440, .363 wOBA, 4.4 fWAR SS Robin Yount .293/.323/.428, .336 wOBA, 4.4 fWAR OF/1B Ben Oglivie .303/.370/.497, .383 wOBA, 3.8 fWAR RF Sixto Lezcano .292/.377/.459, .374 wOBA, 3.7 fWAR CF Gorman Thomas .246/.351/.515, .385 wOBA, 3.5 fWAR 1B Cecil Cooper .312/.359/.474, .372 wOBA, 2.8 fWAR 2B/SS Paul Molitor .273/.301/.372, .303 wOBA, 2.2 fWAR And with two workhorses in the rotation they probably had the highest fWAR among any 1-2 in Brewers history: Mike Caldwell 293.1 IP, 2.36 ERA, 2.94 FIP, 6.3 fWAR Lary Sorsensen 280.2 IP, 3.21 ERA, 3.27 FIP, 5.0 fWAR Jerry Augustine 188.1 IP, 4.54 ERA, 3.96 FIP, 1.7 Not much of a bullpen, but that's because amazingly they only used 13 pitchers all season! (And Bill Castro was effective out of the pen, 49.2 IP, 1.81 ERA) So in a Game 1 you could have: SP Caldwell (2.36 ERA, 2.94 FIP, 8.6 IP/GS) RF Lezcano (.374 wOBA) DH Hisle (.403 wOBA) LF Oglivie (.383 wOBA) CF Thomas (.385 wOBA) 3B Bando (.366 wOBA) 1B Cooper (.372 wOBA) 2B Money (.363 wOBA) SS Yount (.336 wOBA) C Moore (.300 wOBA) Insane! And your bench bat is Paul Molitor
-
Pirates in full meltdown mode. I guess Cy Williams tomorrow is our only hope.
-
I'd let him roll. Jeffress should pitch tonight but I wouldn't mind keeping everybody else fresh.
-
Now you've got Moustakas up with a RHP. Sheesh.
-
Shaw is the second best hitter on the team against RHP. Two RBI now. What are the Cardinals thinking.
-
Waste a LHP on Yelich and then bring in a RHP for Aguilar/Shaw??? What?
-
I'm calling an Arcia HR
-
He misjudged the gamble by half a second. Worth the risk of having one runner on second with two outs to try for a runner on third with one out.
-
That was not very close at all. I mean, literally anybody else on the team would have been in safe.
-
I'm fine with trying for third there. He almost made it.
-
I'll take the automatic 1.000 OPS
-
Gant already at 39 pitches thanks to Chacin. How gassed is the Cardinals bullpen right now, anybody know?
-
Perfect Game alert!
-
Yelich may in fact be more valuable because he plays everyday whereas a starter does not, but 2008 Sabathia was the most locked in I have ever seen a baseball player. Every single game you just knew he was going to dominate and probably throw a complete game. I've never experienced that feeling since.
-
Hall of Fame is often more about longevity than peak value. Obviously 2018 Yelich is way more talented than elderly 1982 Don Sutton.
-
How about some love for the amazing bullpen too? After Cedeno they fired off another 5.0 scoreless innings, and without Hader or Jeffress.
-
1982 Yount was basically Yelich with the bat and Arcia on defense.
-
To be fair, Cain has the highest average in the NL against LHP (.383 AVG, .461 OBP) and there was a runner on second, so it sort of makes sense to prefer Yelich there, but not when Yelich is another elite hitter vs. LHP and you just add another runner.
-
Hahaha, serves you right for walking Cain to get to Yelich with a LHP (???!?!?!)

"Bad ball" -2018 Pulitzer Prize in Baseball Journalism
-
7 pitches, just leave Soria out there for the 9th.
-
That was like a magic trick.
-
Soria the 13th pitcher to appear in this game. yikes.
-
Delivered I'd take 2 more again
