Talk about playing with fire.
-
Honestly I just paused it because it is making me mad.
-
Not everybody does this. I’ve seen plenty of closers start the ninth with leads over 3 runs. Do you want to see Semien or Seager or Lowe as the potential tying or winning run?
-
Is Dillard drunk? If a ball is hit to Monasterio and he throws home I will have a stroke. I assume he’s playing in because of the batter’s speed speed, but of course you concede a run and take the play at first instead of a tag play at the plate.
-
Looks like Williams will be coming into a save situation with the dangerous top of the Rangers order looming.
-
Just what you want to see. Leadoff walk
-
Part of my logic is that with almost a whole week off he could be coming into a close game and be rusty.
-
That inning went nicely. Still want Williams in the 9th.
-
I would be bringing in Williams no matter how big the lead might be. He hasn’t pitched since Sunday and they have two off days next week. We should be so lucky that he gets a save opportunity today or tomorrow.
-
I thought the exact same thing. A sharp bouncer to an IF standing on second.
-
Add on runs would be very welcome.
-
You don’t have to take risks on the bases when you can sit back and count on your .800 plus OPS offense to produce runs. The risk/reward calculation is different for a team with an OPS under .700.
-
One inning down. Have to go with Milner in the 8th to face Seager and Lowe. Would be nice if he could finish the inning.
-
These are going to be three challenging innings for the Brewers bullpen.
-
Big fly from Santana.
-
Hard to shake the feeling that the Brewers have shot their wad offensively and are done scoring for the night.
-
Reds win 1-0 on Encarnacion-Strand HR in the 9th. Unless the Brewers can recover their lead will be down to 1 game.
-
Here come the Rangers. Danger time for Woodruff throwing so many pitches. And not having any outs.
-
Definitely. If they would have been playing with the playoff structure we have now they might have been in them every year from 78-83. I went to a lot of games in those days before kids came along, and it was always exciting when the bottom of the first came around and you could look forward to Molitor, Yount, and Cooper followed by 4 power hitters. If Larry Hisle hadn’t gotten hurt early in the 79 season and essentially had his career ended, that lineup would have been even more imposing.
-
How refreshing to see the Brewers string some hits together Big shutdown inning coming up for Woodruff. These Rangers aren’t going to give up because of a 3 run deficit.
-
First hitter of the game and Yelich reaches on a bouncer back to the mound that bounces off the pitcher and goes for an infield hit. I knew before he said it that Dillard was going to comment on how everything they put in play in LA went right into a Dodgers glove. He really needs to move past that. He’s sounding like a political candidate who’s been coached to get a certain canned line in whether it’s relevant or not.
-
Even with Jung out their top 6 hitters all have OPS over .800 and Martinez, playing CF for Taveras, has an OPS of .908 in his first 6 games with the Rangers. Like the Braves, no real soft spots.

Brewers (Burnes) vs Dodgers (Lynn): 8/17/23, 9:10pm

Or maybe it shows how meaningless some of these stats can be when it comes to actually winning baseball games as long as winners are determined by runs scored instead of balls hit hard. It has never been unusual for teams to win games with fewer hits, but now we have these stats that don’t measure actual hits but balls that “should have been” hits that lead people to the non sequitur conclusion that the winning team was lucky. Of course a home run produces more runs than a handful of scattered singles that put runners on base who don’t advance. To me, that’s baseball not luck. -

Ballgame. This series is a perfect preview of what I would expect if these teams meet in a playoff series.
