Brewers (Patrick) vs Padres (Cease): 9/24/25, 3:10pm
BruisedCrew replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Several games with playoff implications to follow tonight. Skenes vs Greene figures to be a good one. Unless they give him a desperation start on three days rest Sunday the Brewers won’t be seeing Greene. -

Except for the Jansen HR that might be a prototype for how the Brewers will have to win playoff games. Scratch out a couple of runs and get good performances from 5 or 6 pitchers. -

Another runner stranded by Ortiz. Oops. -
I see you focused on the absurdity of placing a bet on the number 1 seed instead of producing evidence that.I posted anything that showed panic or the world coming to an end or anything close to that. For what the odds would be today someone would have to be a fool to place $1000 hoping for what, a $20 profit? Because you think I haven’t been around the site much it shouldn’t be hard for you to search my post history to find an example. But I guess name calling is a lot easier. It would be interesting to see an example of what you consider “panic”.
-
The fact that it does happen, and more frequently than a lot of people seem to realize, is why some people take an "it isn't over until it's over" approach. Calling that "panic" or "freaking out about the end of the world" seems more than a little overdramatic.
-
Ha Ha. I am here frequently, and I don't consider simply recognizing that a race isn't over as "panic" or "freaking out about the end of the world". Apparently your standards are different. Maybe you can show an example of one of my posts that indicates panic. Did you put a grand on the Brewers getting the number 1 seed, or is that just more hyperbolic bluster?
-
Not sure where you saw “an awful lot of panic”. Especially about the 1 seed which a number of people seem to be relatively indifferent about. Your use of the word “panic” doesn’t seem to square up with the dictionary definition. But, at least you hedge your bet by saying the one seed is “pretty much” locked up.

In 2021 many of the posts about the offense started with “since the Adames trade”. The offense started out bad, but when Adames joined the team and had the greatest 3 months of his career, the offense was much better. But, in September, after building up a huge lead in the division, Adames and the offense went flat and four days off between the final game and the first playoff game didn’t change things.
-
It’s not just September. The Brewers have been very mediocre since the 14 game winning streak ended in mid August, especially against teams that were in playoff contention when the Brewers played them.
-
It’s about time to pull out the studies on whether a stumbling finish is a foreshadowing of an early playoff exit. I remember people posting those in 2021 when the Brewers limped to the finish line. The conclusion was that there was no correlation between how a team finishes and how they perform in the postseason. Of course the 2021 team kept limping.

Early to bed tonight..
-
I see Shaw made it back from his “friend’s” funeral to play for the Cubs tonight.
-
I would argue vehemently, and I think with a very strong case, that this is NOT the best team in Brewers history and that it has not had the best regular season, even if they do break the franchise record for wins in a season. I don’t think it’s even close when you compare this team to the 1982 team that had two Hall of Famers in the prime of their careers plus two others near the end of their careers and added another in September for the stretch run. The competition in the AL East of 1982 was a lot tougher than what the Brewers have faced this year.
-
Does anybody really care about the franchise record for wins in a season? The season will be remembered much more for what happens in the playoffs. And if they flame out early again, it will still be memorable as the year the Brewers surprised everyone by winning the division and the incredible stretch from June through mid August regardless of the final regular season win total. If there's a reason I want to see more wins it's to get that 1 seed that might have a tangible benefit if the Brewers reach the NLCS and face the Phillies.
-
Of course anyone would like to have the cushion. But there are posters who respond with words like "fearful" and "panic" at the suggestion that a race isn't over even when a team has what looks like a comfortable cushion.
-
I guess the bottom line is that there are significant question marks on both sides that have been revealed in the last 6 weeks.
-
Nobody has said that NOBODY could possibly be better than Ortiz. The issue is that many people think that nobody on the current roster would be better. I get that you are pushing Monasterio because he had a good week when Ortiz was out. But his career record should tell you that he isn’t a long term solution.
-
I’m starting to get nervous about how so many of the Brewers hitters have looked for the last few weeks. They aren’t hitting many HRs and have too many hitters scuffling to string together hits The ghost of 2021 is starting to haunt me. Is this lineup going to be able to score runs when faced with the best pitchers on the best teams in playoff games?
-
Part of the point of this is that, even if the Tigers end up winning the division, it will not be the cakewalk it looked like a few weeks ago. From a fan’s perspective, when your team has a lead like that you don’t want to deal with the kind of anxiety that Tigers fans are having now. I do think that projection models can’t anticipate the factor of a team feeling the pressure and spiraling into a losing streak. There could also be factors like a key injury or a worn out pitching staff that could make a team perform more poorly than they have the rest of the season.
-
Fernando Tatis is out of the Padres lineup tonight with an illness.
-
I don’t know if it’s a factor for Murphy or not, but the Brewers have to be sensitive to the “integrity of the game” aspect of playing a team in a division race. They could also be trying to pin down the number 1 seed. I expect to see some rolling off days over the next few days, but not wholesale use of bench players until this weekend.
-
I would bet that any Tiger fan who posted on a message board on September 10 that the division race wasn't over yet would have been greeted with comments to the effect that they don't understand math and probability. They would also have been told how difficult it would be for a team to make up 9 games with 16 to play, even with 6 head to head games against the team they are chasing.. After all, all the Tigers would have to do is play .500 the rest of the way and it would be impossible for the Guardians to catch them. The Tiger fan might have responded by pointing out the improbable charge that the Tigers made to overtake the Twins for a wild card spot last season as a reminder of how quickly things can change. Of course, since September 10, the Guardians have gone 10-1, including the 3 game sweep over the Tigers, and the Tigers have gone 1-6 in the games against teams other than the Guardians. Some times "just playing .500" doesn't happen, even for teams that are 22 games over .500 and have the best record in their league. And some times teams that are barely over .500 suddenly put together winning streaks that would be considered nearly impossible by someone looking at projections and probabilities.. Like the 2021 Cardinals who won 17 in a row as part of a 19-3 finish that lifted them to a wild card berth.

If you haven’t seen it you’ll have to look up the catch made by the Nats CF. He pulled a ball off the top,of the fence, but it popped out of his glove as he came down. He then kicked it up like a hacky sack and completed the catch. He also made a more traditional HR robbing catch of a potential tying shot in the ninth.
-
It’s also miserable when your team pulls one of the greatest choke jobs of the year.
-
The first games of the NLDS aren’t until Saturday 10/4. I wouldn’t think they’d want any of the pitchers to go too long without throwing a few innings. Plus, they will need the starters to cover a few innings to keep the relievers from throwing too many. The final game on Sunday might feature 9 pitchers throwing an inning each.
