Brewers (Ashby) @ Dodgers (Glasnow): 10/16/25, 5:08pm CT
MrTPlush replied to homer's topic in Archived Game Threads
Christian Yelich’s first game in the postseason (career): 2 RBI His next 108 PAs: 1 RBI He has never batted in a run without the ball going over the fence, his three RBI came off his two homers. He has 4 multi-hit games in 25 games, none of which ever occurred in the same year. He has, however, managed nearly double as many multi-strikeout games (7). He has 4 doubles, none of which ever occurred in the same postseason. He has 10 games in his career where he went hitless. 2 career postseason HRs. Zero since 2018 Only three more years of this bum. -
The current issue is most certainly tied to the Dodgers trotting out a 5/$136mil pitcher, then a 12/$325mil pitcher (with zero MLB experience for that contract), then a 10/$700mil pitcher, and then a 4/$115mil pitcher. ALL of which were not originally Dodgers prior to those contracts. It is pathetic. It was sad back in the day when rich teams could afford a player we couldn’t. Now they can afford to pay an entire rotation of aces and we can’t afford to pay one.

A lot of issues though: 1) Players union would have a fit. And what exactly would they gain? Is a salary floor really a huge gain to the players union? You would have completely abolish arbitration all together I would think. Three years and then FA. Probably have to fix service time manipulation. Maybe league expansion could be a bone to throw? 2) Would there actually be a majority to support it? The Top 10 teams probably love having an unfair advantage and want it to stay. There would be at least 5 cheapo owners that love not spending money. In reality there are probably 5-8 teams that try hard, maybe would spend more if it was fair, and would welcome it. 3) Do the majority of casual fans even care? Baseball got saved when they did all the stuff to shorten games and make them less insufferable to watch. So far viewership and attendance seem fine (though flat). Im actually a bit shocked considering how non accessible games became for casual watchers due to the RSN debacle

Small markets? This is starting to become a situation where even mid-markets are starting to lag behind a bit. 2025: $5.65 billion in team payroll (only est. I found) 2019: $3.98 billion $1.67 billion difference That 6 year difference is comparable to the change from 2006-2019. The sad reality, the wealth gap is irrelevent and I doubt many owners care. As long as the overall wealth is increasing they are happy.

Ironically they are pretty similar careers. A few massive years, some AS years, and then a flury of average years. I think Braun is still better. Yelich greatly benefits from the DH existence and Braun didn’t. Braun also did seem to be a little more trusty in clutch spots…even ignoring this postseason. Though if you take into consideration the likelihood of Braun cheating much of his early career to stay healthy and on the field it’s a bit of a wash between the two.

If that is the case, wouldn’t you want Ohtani? The best case scenario is 6 innings for him. Not that Game 2’s flailing wouldn’t give him a chance at 7…but Ohtani is the best chance at 4-6 and he is gone.
-
MA could do more, but MLB is the reason he doesn’t. We could spend another 50mil (probably well beyond anything we could do) and still it would barely move the needle. That’s the issue. There is no motivation to spend past what it takes to win the division and roll the dice in the postseason. The Dodgers can waste $300mil a year to choke 4/5 years because their bottom line is still exponentially more green than a small market team not even trying to spend money. That is crazy.

I remember watching almost every single Brewers game during the season, even in seasons that weren’t winning, going to many. Then they kicked all the games off streaming services and payrolls exploded. I haven’t been to a game in years and watch maybe half those that are on national/accessible TV. When the Brewers became relevant in 2008 their payroll was $85mil and only one team was double that. Now in 2025 there are two teams darn near tripling their payroll and another five plus that are near or over double their payroll. It is hard to care anymore, tbh.

Hope to never see Peralta take the mound as a Brewer again.
-
Tried to steal on Snell with Durbin. Today we have made no attempt to steal with Ortiz, Turang, and Frelick. Weird
-
Near Homer and then walking Ortiz easily? yah, you gotta capitalize .
-
Need a mound visit, 2-0 to the pitcher.
-
LOL off speed on a 3-2 pitch. Just intentionally walk him and balk three times.🤣
-
You asked who is available, not who should pitch. You are talking a lot of hypothetical potential downsides. None of which are worse than being down 2-0 to the Dodgers.
-
I don’t see any reason to believe anyone is not available. Maybe Uribe, but mostly because he was garbage last night to go with his 24 pitches.
-
Went all in trying to win tonight (probably the right call) and it doesn’t appear it is going to work. Imagine having a fair chance in this sport.
-
Frelick lets us know the game is over.
-
Murphy set it up so those lefties weren’t group together when they went to their bullpen. Sound logic if it is some pitcher that goes 5-6 MAX
-
Our offense just doesn’t have any elite hitters to be facing phenom aces when they are even remotely on. Sure they scored a bunch and were pesky all season…but that involves a lot of middling pitchers faced. You don’t string together hits and stolen bases facing Snell. Yelich and Contreras are good…but there is not a single person in our line-up to be even slightly scared of. So far, the difference is one of those types of hitters we don’t have.

We are

Boatloads of luck so far today. Notably, all of which not on offense.
-
The problem is he was hundreds of feet away. He tagged up and left when Frelick jumped and originally had it in his glove. Once it popped out and he recaught it he returned to tag up again. That’s what he had to do if the ball had never hit the wall and he simply recaught his own unintentional juggle.
