So, should we refresh this thread with a magic number of 11? Just feeling optimistic.

I know the Brewers have been "babying" (for lack of a better word) their starters for the last week or two; just giving them some work and limiting their arms. But the post-season is when you put your big boy pants on. I would expect whomever starts games 1 and 2 to go 6+ innings and only taking them out if we're up big in each game. They kinda need to get ramped back up again. I just don't see them being able to piggyback or Johnny Wholestaff a game 3 or 4 (in a seven game series) and be all that successful, especially when our opponent will likely be pitching their better arms in those games (after likely being used in the wild card series.) And maybe I'm wrong. I'm okay with being wrong. You always see World Series teams using their horses to get there once they get to the post-season. Maybe the Brewers will play the "long game" and try to continue conserving pitches for the NLCS and WS? I don't think that's a bad strategy; it's just not what I would do. Hence, why I am typing on a message board instead of working for a big league club LOL.

I can really only see him out on World Series roster. That gives him the maximum time to recover and rehab and then, if he gets in, hopefully it’s a chance to fulfill his daydream (or something similar) and leave it all on the field, even if it ends his career. Would be a sweet way to go out!

Yah, understood. But you can’t blame that on Mark A. or the Brewers. That’s an MLB thing. i think.

I thought all award voting had to be completed by the end of the regular season. So, if true, Logan’s post-season effort would not be able to be considered as a way to sway voters.

Even today, I still celebrate when they reach a guaranteed non-losing season like it is a major accomplishment. yes, I’m serious.

Unbelievably, I went to the mlb app earlier this morning and the Ueck film was available even here in Arizona!!! So we watched it. We laughed. We cried. We cried so much! But it was really done well!!! Wow!

Looks like Miami 😆

Dodgers getting to 99 wins seems a bit far fetched (sorta)

Unfortunately doesn’t work out for us regular mlb.tv users from out of state. oh, well. It’ll stream someday.

Are left fielder WAR numbers always this low? That just seems like a rather sorry group of 30 left fielders, overall.

This FOX audio going in and out is going to drive me nuts. Levering sounds like he’s talking into a tin can. And then it suddenly gets a bit louder, but in really strange situations, and then goes back to soft. ugh.

For the record, I talked to my boss this morning (Tarik Skubal’s father, by the way. No, I’m not kidding.). He said from what he heard from Tarik when they spoke on the phone yesterday (Sunday) was that the Tigers asked for Logan Henderson for sure, among other players that he couldn’t remember. But Henderson was definitely in the deal. That would have been a big ask, so I get why we didn’t get a deal done.

So, what was the point of picking up Heuer? This one makes me puzzled.

Disappointed
