Was pondering the optimal approach here. I like the idea of trying to steal a win with Patrick, especially if it looks like a wind blowing in day. Megill has had two days off, so he will throw tomorrow pretty much no matter what. Miller too, I'd bet. And another day for Ashby helps. We should be in decent shape. I would sign up for a split right now, obviously, but hopefully we can get the first and put the pressure on then in game 2. -
You're right. My bad. Maybe not using him back-to-back is a big consideration.
-
Yeah, and Miller's blowup appearance was the second day of usage in a row. I think they put him in in low-leverage there (we were up 6-0 against Pittsburgh) to see how he a responded to two days in a row. I imagine the results there may be less Murph to think twice about putting in while up a run in the ninth.
-
Weather looks dicey, but I'm betting the league and the Cubs really want this one in tonight. We'll see if they can push through. Radar seems to clear up around 9-10 (meaning only rain and not thunderstorms), so I suppose they could start then if the Wrigleyville rules allow. Honestly, a PPD is not the worst thing in the world from a Brewers perspective, especially with G1 in the bank, although a later in the week DH does not sound that fun either.
-
Going to guess they'll try quite hard to get both games in today. Most likely outcome is probably a lightish but consistent rain starting mid-afternoon. With night games Tuesday/Wednesday, I would think they'd be okay playing into the night tonight. Not sure if folks saw Counsell claiming to have never seen a George Webb restaurant (https://www.si.com/mlb/brewers-fans-reporters-catch-craig-counsell-lying-about-teams-burger-promotion), but I think there's a great marketing opportunity to deliver a whole platter of burgers to the home clubhouse on Wednesday.

As someone mentioned last night, today feels as gravy as any gravy game can get. But I am sure the Brewers will be going all out to win with the guys they have available. Would be shocked to see Koenig, Uribe, or Megill today. Throw Mears and Ashby in there too. It's Quintana's show. Grant Anderson will pitch. Maybe Tobias. Miller to close?
-
What is going on? My internet crapped out after William's RBI single in the tenth. I had no idea what happened that whole inning, then it comes back, and Mona has just hit a dinger. White-knuckle save from Mears. Complete game for Q tomorrow!!!!
-
Wow. One good thing here is that these games feel legit pressure-y. Like, these guys WANT it, and that has to be good experience for the postseason.
-
Does Joey O get that one?
-
Lockridge probably bunting?
-
Yup, only chance was a barehand and a good throw. Can't do it much better if you're Durbin.
-
Tough night offensively. Very tough pitching matchup tomorrow. Not the worst thing in the world to steal some rest for the good relievers tonight.
-
Do or die play. Fun idea.
-
Yeli first pitch
-
Any word on Berroa? Good ABs from Black tonight, which is nice to see.
-
Not so good ABs there. Turang with an especially bad one. That was the killer.
-
I guess they know Ashcraft better than me.
-
Do the Reds not have a lefty? Weird to bring in a righty to face Turang and Black.
-
Couple of big outs for Ashby. Time for the offense to get rolling!
-
It seems almost certain to me that Miz will end up a bullpen arm in the playoffs. Maybe he's a planned piggy-back in two games in a five-game series or three in a 7-gamer. First guy out of the pen, hope he gives you 2 innings.
-
That looked like a seriously uncomfortable AB. Several of them.
-
Was just thinking that too...he's so well-rested, short, efficient inning. Maybe he gets at least a hitter.
-
Yeah, not sure if Murphy forgot what inning it is or just has some sort of matchup data/hunch. Should I laud his flexibility? Or question his judgment? I'll wait for the results and use the benefit of hindsight.
-
O/U tonight is 9? Not a bettor here, but that seems crazy low to me. Feel like it might take nine to win. (So, 1-0 it is?)
-
Cubs lose. Probably not a big mathematical difference between a 7-game and an 8-game lead. But it feels like we need to stretch this given the schedules down the stretch. Honestly, I still expect this will be a close-ish race. The Cubs feel like they have a run in them, and we might face a 4- or 5-game L streak at some point. Every notch off the magic number counts.
