Brewers (Houser) vs Dodgers (Miller): 8/15/23, 9:10pm
BruisedCrew replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
If offered a 3-3 trip against the Dodgers and Rangers almost every Brewers fan would accept it over playing the games and hoping for more wins. -
I will be out of the country so I won’t have to listen to it if the race does come down to that last weekend.
-
“Only need to split”. Based on the dogfights in the series here around the 4th, splitting 6 games against the Cubs is not going to be easy. Their lineup is impressive and they have some pitchers who seem to have success against the Brewers. I’m expecting the race to come down to that series the last weekend.
-
I’d rather be the home team regardless to get the advantage of the last at bat. But if the Cubs play the wild card series here I would guess they would have more fans here than the Brewers would. Weekday or weeknight games in October at playoff game prices would be a tough sell in this market.
-
The best thing he did was throw enough strikes. Two of the three outs were rocked pretty hard
-
Ah, this is the put away the Brewers needed.
-
I nominate Bummer as the Brewers MVP in this series.
-
It can be the same issue there. Who should you put in the lineup against a LHP who destroys LHB but is vulnerable against RHB? Many times the available options don’t allow accommodating a pitcher or hitter with reverse splits. You have to consider the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses too.
-
What should a manager do against left handed hitters who kill righties but have trouble with lefties and he only has one lefty available? I think Counsell knows as much about hitters and pitchers splits as fans do.
-
Last night wasn’t like that. They didn’t have many chances and got 3 out of their best opportunity.
-
When was the last time Turang tried to bunt and actually got it down in a helpful position.
-
I made this comment on Friday. It’s amazing that for as few runs as the Brewers score, how often I end up being frustrated after a scoring inning because they didn’t get more. That top of the fifth was the latest example.
-
He obviously isn’t seeing the ball well at all right now.
-
Jays 5, Cubs 2. End of 2.
-
Brewers are pulling out their getaway day offensive approach. They were literally at bat for 2 1/2 minutes.
-
I wasn’t telling him how he should be a fan, I was just noting how he deals with game threads. I think it’s posters who tell others things like “you should find another hobby” that are telling them how to be fans.
-
That’s not entirely true unless the only relevant measure of position is games above or below .500. The Brewers are 7-8 in the last 15 games that started with that Braves series but their position in the division and wild card races has changed in a couple of pretty significant ways. While their lead in the division has grown from half a game over the Reds to 2.5 games over the Cubs (who were 6 back) they are now in a 3 team race that includes a Cubs team that has won 16 of its last 21 and has picked up another good bat to add to an already strong lineup. In the overall NL race they have lost considerable ground to the Dodgers and Phillies, who have gone 11-4 and 11-5 in this period. They have also picked up ground on the stumbling DBacks and Reds. The already slim hopes of getting a first round bye are pretty much gone. A win today would at least salvage an 8-5 record in this stretch of 13 games against terrible teams where there was an opportunity to pick up more ground. The next 3 weeks against nothing but playoff contenders figures to be more challenging, and the Brewers are going to have to play better than they have the last two weeks to maintain their position.

I understand that instead of commenting during game threads you seem to prefer perusing them after the fact and making comments about things people say in frustration during the game. I just looked at this one again and, to be accurate, more than half of this thread has virtually nothing to do with last night’s game. The game ended on page 5 of 12. Most of the post game comments were more relevant to a discussion (fueled by one poster in particular) about the prospects for the Brewers to win a World Series either this year or anytime in the foreseeable future. Those prospects weren’t affected one way or another by that one game.
-
Yelich has not looked good for several days now.
-
Third hanger to Taylor was one too many.
-
This game has numbed everyone into a comatose state. I just brush it off and rationalize it as sparing me the frustration of seeing the Brewers fail,to,score with runners on second and third and nobody out.
-
I was looking at the box score from the Cubs game today. They didn’t have one hitter in their lineup with an OPS under .700. And they went out at the deadline and brought in a guy over .800.
-
This is really a regional telecast. Mets-Braves and Astros-Angels are also being televised by Fox. For the regional games going to less of the national market I think they often use an announcer from each of the teams
-
Seeing this comment reminds me how sad I am that Baseball Reference moved most of the scoring information that I used as a quick way to get data like this behind the Stathead pay wall.
-
Hardly the best played game by either team, but another ugly win.
