    Just unreal. I've been saying for about a year or so that I know they will win one in the next chunk of years with what they have and the prospects coming (and LAD getting old). Some of that was almost prepping for playoff loss this year. So still can't believe it very well could be this year already

    Man just think if we had an owner and GM who would move the needle
  3. tmwiese55
    oh right yea even if they start the inning. that probably eliminates any decision on it. Ashby megill for teh W
  4. tmwiese55
    think they try Patrick for the two righties before Ohtani?
  5. tmwiese55
    Technically probably should've PH ortiz for Hamilton there to bring Ortiz in at D anyway.
  6. tmwiese55
    I'd guess JoJo next inning for the Otani/Freeman stretch.

    You can't plan for everything to go this perfectly though. A few of these games could've gone a different direction and we need them to eat the innings. Say last night, if Hall gives up a hit and they get down 3-4 runs or whatever it would've been. Well, then you're using the guys listed to keep everyone else fresh for today. I know Patrick was up earlier in the game too. And tonight, its possible Hall and Uribe are both marked as out tonight. All of a sudden you need those guys In addition, I don't see how having Lockridge sit the bench would be any different than these Ps being ready if needed. The extra C is the only debate, so we're talking about 1-2 PAs extra for Sanchez vs the insurance of having fresh arms. Look what happened to the Pads vs us and what Cle/Sox went through last series, you need the arms if needed. In a weird way, not having Naylor might've won last night's game. Perhaps they Sanchez and his good splits over Bauer last night if they didn't have to save their C

    I let him go until trouble. I don't see the rush to yank him. Especially for a huge question mark like a Patrick. Have guys ready to go, but the longer he can last the better in a game like this that could go extras. I think Bottom of the order starts next inning, try to get through that one at least. Probably have Hall ready to go for Freeman if there's issues

    We'll see on it, I don't think its crazy either way so not worthy of bashing. I'd lean towards starting Sanchez and roll the dice that the one in a few thousand chance doesn't happen today. It would be a different thing if you planned to be starting both every day that eventually something could happen, but trying it one game with this kind of statistical reason backing it to me is worth the risk.

    Yea my memory of last year and when we played him this year is if we just didn't swing at any offspeed pitches we'd have been fine. Basically every changeup and curve was out of the zone. But of course easier said than done identifying the changeup ETA: Turns out we didn't face him this year. can't think of who I might be mixing him up with
  11. tmwiese55
    Another theory could be beside stadium vendor type staff, is the security/police aspect of it. I have no idea how that is coordinated/contracted/paid for with the city

    Hockey is a zillion times better live. Football is drastically better on TV. I'd agree baseball for sure is too as you see the pitch so much better. Basketball I can see the debate either way. I'm an experiences person though, so I do put value in being there even though actual viewing of the game is worse. I also agree that just because someone can't afford over $1000 doesn't make them any less of a fan or if they think watching in TV is a better experience doesn't make them less of a fan
  13. tmwiese55
    I've thought about this. And I think I've mostly chalked it up to two good teams with a lot of good vet hitters taking that professional foul everything off approach moreso than any usage type thing with him. Kind of like SD created the book on how to battle him, LA copied it. Does everyone else have the talented hitters to do it as well as those teams did, IDK. So in a way, not great if a model has been created but also if the best you can do is just foul off and not really threaten without him walking or getting lucky errors, bloops etc then its still good results for MKE. But will get him out of games quicker

    They had this on MLB today, I think it was 2nd place to the record for however they categorized it. The other was in like 1900 or something though, and was only like 20 innings vs the 28 the brewers have done. So yea, for modern baseball its a record
  15. tmwiese55
    They did the late inning bullpen decisions exactly how I was texting I'd do it to my friends. Uribe to start since it was RH Betts. Then Ashby for lefty Ohtani, with the plan that he's going through Muncy since that innings had 2/3 lefties. Then he's out of if its not over by then. All executed and didn't walk anyone so it went as smoothly as possible. I don't think the TV guys guess that Ashby is down for game 3 is correct at all. Based on what they've done all year I'd be very surprised if he's not available for a normal 15-25ish pitches (assuming nothing weird soreness tomorrow). Game 4 then I could see the argument, but based on how he's been used with the off day and no crazy high pitch count game I don't see him being down for game 3. ETA, that said, I trust Hall basically as much right now
  16. tmwiese55
    Unless you get a really strong offer, which I doubt they'd get anything massive due to his so-so offense, I'd keep him as the utility/insurance guy. Hamilton is fine in that role, but Joey would be better. Plus, if Turang doesn't start doing better vs lefties he could take a good chunk of Turangs vs lefty starts. And of course, injuries happen so its good to have such a good backup ready to go since there will likely be at least a month of starter's injuries. And if Made doesn't sign an extension you can keep delaying his debut as much as possible if you have Ortiz

    Picking your opponent is a dumb gimmick. Simply reseed after round 1 (like I'm pretty sure the NFL does) , good enough tweak to help the problem without anything too weird.
  18. tmwiese55
    Something to note I don't think I saw yet as to why you can't get rid of pitchers is that the middle games are 3 in a row. So its not as easy to have every BP arm available every game like in the round that just ended. In addition, Dodgers have so many big lefties that there will be a lot more match up related switches. It would be nice to have Naylor so Sanchez could PH vs a lefty, but I don't think they can give up the pitching depth which is their biggest strength.
  19. tmwiese55
    Frelick, Mitchell with hits, Bauers with a walk in their first ABs. the guys who were supposed to be benched
  20. tmwiese55
    IN addition, they did a ton last night. They put pressure on the pitcher/D all last night, almost every inning. Working counts, getting runners on, etc. oh and lets not forget that 9th inning sunday
  21. tmwiese55
    and one of the hits was a fluke bunt single
  22. tmwiese55
    If yet another IF defensive mistake costs them a run. You can't forget the outs in games this big.
  23. tmwiese55
    Right. And mitchell did get a hit in both the first two games. Sure last game was annoying but in baseball managers rarely overreact to such small samples. Bauers is the bigger conundrum since he's been struggling alot to finish the year and has been hurt. With a good option to take ABs in Vaughn. So if he's legit hurt or essentially back to being the league replacement level type he's been for 4 years then yea there's a discussion. But otoh, he was their first or second best hitter on the year and possibly offensive mvp for the year. Tough to pull the plug over 3 games
  24. tmwiese55
    With Frelick looking fine so far there isn't really any area to start Lara right now. He's pinch runner, D sub right now. Any discussion to be had on the needing to get Vaughn ABs would be Bauers in RF. Assume Ray starts next game (if there is one) you have to have Vaughn in the lineup. Then its deciding who plays CF and RF between Frelick, Bauers and Mitchell if so. To the discussion on the season long lack of ABs for Vaughn, it really came down to Bauers being so hot that he had to play almost every game for awhile (and don't forget Vaugn missed a month costing him ABs). Ideally, Vaugh probably should've taken a good chunk of Yeli's starts at DH but thats a different discussion since right now Yeli looks great.
  25. tmwiese55
    and vaughn for Bauers. They set this up better for the LHP pitcher than they had last night.
