    The call had to stand on Perkins catch, but I’m not convinced that ball didn’t squirt out of his glove just enough that the wall helped him pull it in.

    Craigtember is coming. 😀

    Using knowledge from my baseball cards of the late 50’s I was able to set a personal record today with a Rarity Score of 6.

    Never mind. What I wanted to say about the first sentence of this post is better left unsaid.

    The baseline is whatever line the runner takes to a base. (There is a special rule relating to the running lane from home to first..) A runner is only out for running out of the baseline if he leaves the line to avoid a tag. That doesn’t apply to that play. Runners taking a line that puts them in the path of a potential throw is common and not prohibited.

    If they overturn this it would be a travesty. The last one was closer.

    Are they “giving” him a day or is he physically unable to go?

    It’s a good thing there aren’t any sub .500 teams in the playoffs. The Brewers seem to have a lot of trouble with them lately.
  10. BruisedCrew
    You have your answer.

    This offense has been pretty crappy since the first 3 innings of the first game of the Reds series. It’s amazing that the Brewers have been able to win as many as they have in this stretch.
  12. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers must be one of the only teams in MLB that faces Mikolas and is content trying to get into the bullpen. He’s now thrown 8 straight scoreless innings against the Brewers going back to his start in May.

    I commented after last night’s game that I was concerned about the “black holes” in the lineup (Mitchell, Black and, to a slightly lesser extent, Frelick). I think there were at least two times yesterday that Mitchell and Black failed with a runner on third and less than 2 out, and then Mitchell killed another scoring chance already today.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Absolutely true, but my concern with Black, and Mitchell (and to some extent Frelick) is that the playoffs are coming in 6 weeks and having too many holes like that in the lineup is going to make it hard to score against the best pitchers on playoff caliber teams.

    My two cents on the Williams situation without too much second guessing is that I was surprised to see him warming up in the top,of the 9th. I thought that with a big lead in the division there would be no reason to push Willams into another game right after the number of high stress pitches he threw the night before. It seemed like a good opportunity to give Megill a shot at closing. I also think that after the high stress save on Tuesday Murphy should have been quicker with the hook than he might usually be once it was obvious that his command was significantly off. But my bigger, more concerning, thought of the night was what a PP has mentioned. That is that Mitchell and Black are proving to be complete dead spots in the batting order. Their almost automatic outs were not as much of a problem last night because others stepped up. But it’s looking like the Brewers might regret not making a Canha type pickup at the deadline. It doesn’t help that Frelick is only slightly better.
  16. BruisedCrew
    No, not really. He could have been used in a low leverage situation or an emergency like an extra inning game.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Not for me. Plenty more opportunities for the Dodgers to lose. Don’t give the Cardinals any breath.
  18. BruisedCrew
    Brewers scored just 28 runs in the last 9 games of the homestand and still went 6-3.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Sweet sweep holding the Clevelands to just 4/runs.

    By the same token, if the focus is the Dodgers, the Brewers would have to fend off the Padres and DBacks too. They currently lead the Padres by 1.5 games and the DBacks by 2.5. Those 2 teams have been by far the best in the NL since the beginning of June. The Padres hold the tiebreaker over the Brewers, having won the season series 5-2 I look at the chase for the bye as two separate races. One is against the Phillies and the other is against the 3 NL West teams. The Brewers have to win at least one of them. If you’re looking ahead, the last couple weeks of the season could be interesting. In their last 16;games the Brewers play all 7 of their games against the DBacks, 3 against the Phillies, and 3 against the Mets, who are also fighting for a wild card spot.
  21. BruisedCrew
    The longer term vibe has been more like treading water. The Brewers first reached 17 games over .500 on July 2 at 52-35 and have gone 18-17 since then.

    Fun night at the ballpark last night. We had exchanged tickets for a Cubs game on our 10 pack for last night. I was reminded how much I enjoy the new schedule that adds games against teams like the Guardians (and a future HOFer) like Jose Ramirez instead of still another series against the Pirates, Reds, Cubs, or Cardinals.
  23. BruisedCrew
    The Tigers at 59-63 would be just 1.5 games out of second in the NL Central and have the same record as the Cubs. The White Sox are historically terrible, but the rest of the AL Central is better than the NL Central..
  24. BruisedCrew
    I agree. I think it’s bad form to pull out things from game threads and throw them in someone’s face. But, there are posters who seem to thrive on doing that.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Yeah, I saw a feature on TV last night that said they are trying it in certain lots.
