    pretty spot on. Other top consideration would be game 6 in 1982. Game to clinch the Championship and get smoked. If nitpicking, probably have to put that 2 I guess just due to the weight of it
  2. tmwiese55
    I'd go Quintana opener since he's lefty with Miz as the plan after. In a weird way, Ashby's bad 1st inning in game two might've ultimately cost them the series even though they won that game. If they'd kept 'overthinking' and used lefty openers rather than who they did its very likely they win at least one of the last two games assuming just one of them doesn't have the blow up first inning. After it didn't work in game 2 they were probably gunshy to do it again

    Another quirk of the decision I don't think I saw mentioned (sorry if I missed). If they did save Peralta for 5 with also having the hope that he'd be ready for game 1 if they happen to win tonight is that if he did have to pitch game 5 he wouldn't be able to pitch until game 3 in NLCS. and then not again until game 7 (as a normal starter). Thus, you might be out before he gets a 2nd start. Pitching today keeps him up for game 2 then 6. Of course you might still be out by 6, but earlier the better and do what I can to increase his chances for two starts in that series.

    And to a lot of discussions here over the years on "luck/breaks" of baseball. Frelick generally hit the ball sharp-ish, just a couple more feet up the middle and its a hit and this discussion isn't taking place

    I also haven't gotten the switch to leadoff of Yeli. To this topic. I put that inning on Turang. I hate making a lefty hitter bunt a guy to 3rd. All he has to do is put ball in play and you still get the move over while also having the chance of getting hit. That said, if Turang after that first pitch felt he couldn't hit it (which based on the complete lack of effort on his swings I get) that he felt a bunt towards 3rd was his best bet to get over but to also steal a hit or cause an error that's his call. But I don't blame the manager that he should call it, a lefty hitter simply has to have a better AB than that. I get the Vaughn critique. I didn't love the earlier timings of PHs either to use up those other guys when they did either. For example, without those earlier PHs you could've used Collins/Perk for Frelick there and still had good D

    I would say its definitely weird that the game in LA is the first game. Only logic I can see is if not, it becomes 9 pm start in PHi. But still, I've always thought home stadium local time has been most relevant
  7. tmwiese55
    I can't see anyway we take on that contract at those ages. I've always been a Seger guy and couldn't believe unlimited money Dodgers let him go. But knowing our budgets as a brewer fan I would not want him at that contract even if given to us for no prospects. And I can't see Texas paying a big chunk of it to dump him. IMO, TX is going to try to win again next year. Hous dynasty is finally cracking making the west easier.
  8. tmwiese55
    If he doesn't sit him then he faces a lefty which makes him a shell of himself, so its a win win.

    I think the best route would be lefty opener then Peralta. Turns out the hindsight mistake yesterday was to not 'overthink' and use a lefty opener like Quintana. Today, I think best route is Ashby/Gasser for 1 to mess with Busch again, try to get 2 if they do well. Then try to get 5 out of Peralta. So its Peralta as the 'starter' but the small caveat of lefty opener to make them mess with their lineup and hopefully have Busch only face a righty once all day. But the simplest route really can't be argued much either
  10. tmwiese55
    Again, we have no idea what they think. That's all I'm saying, if they're open there's tons of options. If not, limited options. We don't know. I know in my opinion, Turang at SS and Durbin at 2B is a vastly preferred setup than Durbin at SS and Turang at 2B. I don't really know how anyone would disagree on that but to each their own. They very well might have the not moving turang from 2B no matter what mindset, idk. But if I was a guessing man I'd guess with how they value D they would also have no intention of Durbin handling SS other than backup/emergency type things
  11. tmwiese55
    Maybe misinterpreted. I meant "moving turang to SS". Not moving as if in a trade. None of us have any idea 100% either way on their internal openness to that as the SS solution or not. If they do think it can happen it opens up tons of options, if not then much less
  12. tmwiese55
    your guess is as good as anyone else's. If I had to guess, I'd think they go with Peralta in game 4 to do their best to end it. Combining that with the same logic as what happened in game 2, I think they'd rather the bullpen type day happens at home as it makes rookies like Miz, Patrick, Gasser more comfortable. Who knows though. And I'm sure depends on how much the BP gets used today in a loss
  13. tmwiese55
    Exactly, that's an interesting part about 5 game series. The 'stress' flips so easily game to game. Lose this one, all of a sudden next game pressure is all on you to 'not blow a 2-0 lead'. Then of course if you lose that its all on you in game 5 Ground ball pitcher, what about just Yelich in LF and Chourio DH? Yeli is weak on D but they have put him out there this year and he's gonna catch what he gets to. And if JC is on "don't sprint" type guidelines is he all that much better than Yeli at D? Sure would be nice to get the win here and just have 4 days off for Chourio.
  14. tmwiese55
    Big part of that upgrade discussion will also be whether they feel comfortable moving Turang to SS. We just have no idea on their internal view on that. There's definitely a logic in just leaving him where is. But there's a logic that he was considered GG at SS too and SS is our major major need for upgrade. Open to moving Bryce there frees up any infielder for acquisitions since Durbin can do either (probably better suited for 2B). If they have decided Turang cannot move you're very limited because Durbin shouldn't be anymore than emergency use at SS.
  15. tmwiese55
    TBF, I didn't get that vibe from this quick listen. These guys seems resolved in the fact of how much well run the brewers are and that their team is better. Your overall point though, I 100% get that from the Cubs fans I'm friends with. I don't try to argue or make it a thing, you'd think after several years in a row they'd realize it but here we are. That said, its not like the Cubs weren't very good this year. They didn't hand us that division with a chokejob or anything. They had the fourth or fifth best record in all of baseball I think
  16. tmwiese55
    Imagine how lopsided this would be if the Brewers management actually tried to win
  17. tmwiese55
    I'd be curios if MKE would've put in a claim with him if he got to us in waivers a few weeks ago. I would've done that and the hoped he could take Ortiz spot this year and opt in for next year to cover for one more year as the prospects get ready. I doubt they would have done it though due the salary Giving him 2-3 years though after two injury seasons in a row, no thanks. My guess is he opts in or works out something with ATL to stay
  18. tmwiese55
    Yes, simply due to being 1 game playoffs.
  19. tmwiese55
    Like most I get either one and don't have a beef either way. I'd go Raleigh due to playing C. But the 'tiebraeker' I guess to me would Judge having the DL stint to miss the games and then to not be able to play D afterwards so he's only played D in like 90 games this year. That DL stint and subsequent inability to play OF helped put them in the hole they were in. But yea, I of course get that he's such a ridiculous hitter that he makes up for missing those games easily. Which is impressive in itself ETA: looks like I forgot to mention the slight inflation on stats due to Yankee stadium while Raleigh plays in a pitchers park
  20. tmwiese55
    Random that popped in my head. Buy low on Ezequiel Tovar. Is signed on Chourio type very early extension to buy out arb. So chances are Col plans to keep him. But, they are really stupid and he had a bad injury riddled year so might be fine clearing the money and getting prospects. You could have him for the 2-3 years while he's still cheap then look to trade him if the pile of good IF prospects pan out and are ready for the bigs. Or would be a stable guy signed so that if Turang proves difficult to sign maybe he'd be the one you trade in 2-3 years before he hits FA to free up space for the prospects. But if it costs giving up the great prospects you probably just hold off. Buy low kick the tires thing to try and take advantage of a dumb team. If they view him as the one thing they can sell to their fans so have a high price just hold off
  21. tmwiese55
    OTOH, this injury again might be what keeps him affordable and back to MKE. Without it he was almost for sure out of our range of what what they should do. But now, he might have to take another short term thing. If someone is giving him 100 mil in the bank though he should take it
  22. tmwiese55
    I think I'm 1-9, pretty difficult for a team with over 600 win percent. 0-6 at Miller Park. 0-2 at Wrigley. 1-1 in AZ. 3 of the losses were 5ish-0 blown lead late in AZ, Rockies blown 2-0 lead by Uribe/Megill, Uecker day blown lead in 9th So yea, when they lose in the playoffs it'll be on me.
  23. tmwiese55
    Yea and all things look good for division/seed right now so a good time to let Yelich steal a day to reduce as much risk on his back leading up to the playoffs as possible. For Rhys, I know others said in here who cares. But if he's going to be on the post reason roster, which I'd think he is due to the PH option or if Vaughn falls apart. Then you'd think you'd want him stay staying sharp.
  24. tmwiese55
    We just swept a team last weekend. that was 3 days go, sky isn't falling.
  25. tmwiese55
    Off day Thurs too so everyone is in ok shape really. So everyone has gotten a bit of refresh since that brutal stretch. Too bad 2/3 of their planned backend ended up on the DL from that stretch though
