A team coming of a 96 win divison winning season is not going to be putting some who with injured all year (Nelson) and three newcomers (Peralta, Woodruff, and Burnes) into the rotation. Ignoring possible innings limits on some of those guys its just waaay to risky to do. I would be absolutely in shock if they went that direction. It would absolutely kill our depth because I have to imagine Anderson is definitely traded in that scenario...leaving Davies as the only guy in AAA. I don't believe Guerra has an option...but he may. I just don't see such a move happening in real life. That is the kind of stuff I see on a video game or I see in a BP predicting our rotation 3 years from now. Logistically it never tends to work that way in reality.

I am going to go out on a limb and assume our rotation/bullpen is going to be similar to what we trotted out in September that we have already rode to a division championship and is still riding a 9 game winning streak. I definitely could see Burnes moving to the rotation, but I bet Peralta/Woodruff both stay in the pen. I think the Brewers are going to continue to be a trend setter with their pen and starting rotation. Nelson Chacin Burnes Anderson (someone) Maybe Woodruff sets up in one of those rotation spots, but it might make more sense to have Davies/Miley/some else average-ish there. Have to pen loaded with dynamic multi inning relievers and maybe have your starters go short inning (5 or less) quite often. I mean why not? If you manage it everyone will be fresh all year and we have already proven this setup wins games. Would it work over a long season? Would long stretches without a day off make it hard? I don't know...but end of the season I love it.

I swear people said it had to be shipped to Wisconsin for the Cubs presale before the season...but it could have been billing that people meant. In all honesty since these are electronically delivered it really is meaningless regardless. Just put Wisco down for both and you won't find any issue. Thanks for the intel Snapper.

We beat Kluber this year, beat Bumgarner, and the Rockies are 0-2 when Marquez starts against us (rocked him in Colorado). At some point we gotta look at this team and realize they are good and can beat the best of them. We have to go up 0-2 cause I don’t want them clinching in the home clubhouse...too much anxiety with that Game 5.
-
How’s the availability for NLCS tickets looking? Are people gobbling those up excessively as season ticket holders? Or is availability pretty similar to what it was looking like for the NLDS. I guess the good thing is we are extremely unlikely to have already clinched before WI residents get their shot. That makes it easier to get tickets. Unless we sweep of course...which I won’t complain about.
-
I agree with that. Grandy/team knew that taking 2nd was going to result in an IBB. Yup, the announcer said he was going to walk to second on the next pitch...no he won’t. They don’t even want them thinking of walking moose. Of course even if he did it would have been an 0-2. At which point you probably throw him pitches to pressure a K. Or you know...give him more strike to hit.
-
Can we as a fan base stop with the stupid MVP chant? Yelich has already admitted he and the team don’t really like it and people are doing it mid AB...it’s kind of ridiculous to be honest.
-
You just can’t throw four straight strikes to him...you just can’t. Terrible pitch execution. Pitcher cracked under pressure and didn’t trust himself.
-
That’s why Granderson stayed on first, the Rockies were too dumb to walk him with someone standing on first. Not sure why they were so aggressive.
-
What a stupid choice to let Braun bat there. He is garbage against elite RHP. Put in a pitcher to bunt the guy over. Clutchless
-
Do it, $20 days you have “Braun” and “8” tattooed on your back.
-
You can’t carelessly pitch them and have them tired. We know what tired Hader is like...he sucks. That is no better than not pitching.
-
And all of our good relievers will still be available to use tomorrow. But yes I agree it would be extremely deflating to lose this. Jeffress? The one who blew today? Hader? Went more than an inning, Knebel went two. Would Counsell reall see it as a “must” win and use people in situations like that? Not convinced.
-
We can’t really afford to lose this game. We used all our good relievers today. We are in big trouble tomorrow if we lose today...Game 2 is a must win for the Game 1 loser...and we empty the arsenal...in a loss if we lose.
-
You aren’t overturning that, sorry. You can’t see anything on the video, nothing. It’s a blurry mess.
-
I think he is safe...but the quality just isn’t there.
-
He went to ground, so if he didnt make the tag on the way down the run scores. If you cant make the tag throw it to the next guy, not dive Nope, I would dive and get him. Extra throws is bad.
-
It’s called Shaw not being on first yet. He whips it and the ball is down by Yelich.
-
Hard to blame Counsell. Jeffress needs to his job, instead he didn’t. Came in and choked when it mattered. Thanks for nothing Jeffress, get off the field.
-
The games for the NLCS are going to have nice start times. First game is Friday and the ALCS won't start till Saturday so we will be on at night and the second game would be on a Saturday. The same holds true for the second weekend if those games were necessary. You certainly would have no problem selling for face for weekend games that might include a World Series birth clinch and I doubt the first weekend would be much of a problem either.

Rockies Series - Keys / Observations
MrTPlush replied to fondybrewfan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Very clever pitching decisions on the Brewers part for the NLDS. Instead of having Chacin pitch in just one game (Sunday) for 5-6 innings they are going to use him twice for probably 3-4 innings each time. That is the same amount of innings or more and you imagine not facing the line up a third time would make them higher quality appearances. The Brewers key to the entire postseason isn't the offense or the elite bullpen arms. Jeffress, Knebel, and Hader are going to do their job. The key is the guys like Burnes, Woodruff, and Peralta. If these guys can pitch lights out in October it is going to be very hard to beat us in a series. If those guys falter...we will be home in a hurry. Our insane quality pitching depth that can go 2+ innings is something no other team can match. It will make line-ups tough to plan for us and cycling a new dominate pitcher in every 2-3 innings will keep hitters off balance. We basically can do what teams love to do in Game 7 situations, but multiple times because we have the depth to do it. It is like going all in...but early on in the series. Our pitching can put the other teams in a 0-2 series hole really fast...that is the key. -
Well we pick 28th so at that point it is already a giant crapshoot.
-
Really no excuse losing this game. Pretty much everything that can go in our favor is going in out favor. Electric home crowd, we are white hot, bullpen gaming it, pretty average pitcher for the Rockies. Pretty much shooting ourselves in the foot if we blow this game. Would be nice if our multi inning guys can get it done today and keep the elite relievers fresh for tomorrow.
-
I actually think his attitude fired up that team. That team seemed to thrive off his antics...which I didn’t really have a problem with for the most part. I like a little energy, I like a guy who doesn’t conform to the super serious office work type mentality when playing the game. He went a little too far towards the end of the year, but again...I think that team thrives with that personality.

The Brewers Frosty Boys Bullpen
MrTPlush replied to SlotcarAssassin's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yah....ummm...I don’t know. When I think Frosty Boys I just get a gross picture in my head. I don’t know what kind of gross, but it just doesn’t sound right when you say it out loud.
