  1. Every button they have pressed has worked. Screw it ... Kyle Harrison time, baby!
  2. I agree that you are probably alone on this. Pratt has proven through the course of the season that he deserves to be in there. A few hiccups isn't going to change that.
  3. This is tremendous! I couldn't possibly be more fired up about the future of this team after reading it.
  4. Dillard is SO much better than Rottino, though. Rottino seems like a good guy, but he is very boring IMO.
  5. I take back all the negative things I said about David Hamilton throughout the season. He stepped up in a big way.
  6. The fact that you have to jump through hoops and circumvent anything to watch NLCS games absolutely sucks, though. Apparently episodes of the terrible reality shows Hell's Kitchen and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test are more important to Fox. MLB really needs to take notes from the NFL on how to make games easily accessible to the masses.
  7. Pretty funny to see the same posters who hate pretty much every move the Brewers make hated this one too. And water is still wet.
  8. Agreed! I would have absolutely no problem watching the Dodgers' visitor's clubhouse get soaked with champagne and Miller Light.
  9. Feeling pretty confident going into tonight's game. Pull out a win tonight to go up 3-0, and I'm feeling golden, As long as we can take 1 of 3 in LA, we are in excellent shape.
  10. Harrison, Drohan and Patrick haven't seen an inning of work yet in 6 games. So ... while it would be taking a slight risk ... probably.
  11. As long as he is treated as a "Tommy Edman-level utility backup", I'm ok with him. But for much too long this season he was treated as the stronger half of the platoon with Ortiz, when Joey is the better defender and, at least for a good portion of the 2nd half, also the better hitter. They seem to have finally figured things out with his usage.
  12. I expect the trend of 3-4 inning starts to continue against the Dodgers, so I think that May likely makes the NLCS roster mainly because he's another high-octane arm they can use for a 2-inning stint.
  13. What I wouldn't give for a solid, boring 8-1 win tonight ...
  14. Just wait until Fangraphs has the Cubs winning 92 games to take the division next year. Of course, the Brewers will be a close 2nd with 82 wins. (not blue ... because this is very likely IMO)
  15. And the answer is 18-6, for an incredible 75% winning percentage in September. Congrats to @ErnieRilesBrianGiles who at 16-8 was the closest (although @torts with 24-0 was surprisingly close!) Several of us went with 15-9, which goes to show that even the most optimistic of us sometimes underestimate the wherewithal of this team.
  16. Logically, I agree. Wouldn't make any sense financially for him to hang them up. But he's also a guy who has a lot of pride, and its pretty easy to see how frustrated he's been this season. My head tells me he isn't going anywhere, but my gut is telling me that maybe this is it ... That said, I think he'd be a natural for a future front office role.
  17. I am probably completely off base, but I can't help but have this feeling in the back of my mind that perhaps Yelich has let a select few in the organization know that he intends to retire after this season, and this is the organization's way of honoring him without letting the cat out of the bag. He doesn't seem like the type that would want the fanfare of a retirement tour.
  18. Cubs. That pitching staff is atrocious. They are not playing great ball going into the playoffs. We have had good success shutting down their better hitters.
  19. If it were possible to go below 0%, that would be my response. Patrick has been one of the team's main bullpen cogs all season. There is absolutely no chance he isn't on the playoff roster. A rough outing in a throwaway game with no stakes isn't going to change their mind.
  20. Yes, Miz will be making one more start this season against the Cardinals this weekend. That will be a planned full start, after he made a planned short start on 3 days rest a few days ago.
  21. The answer to that is above my pay grade. But it isn't above theirs. All I know is when your models concerning one team in particular are pretty drastically wrong year-after-year, and you are a website that prides yourself on accuracy with your predictions, something is pretty demonstrably broken. They'd probably hate the suggestion, but it likely starts with adding some sort of automatic positive regression to prospective Brewers rotation members. The teams' pitching development mechanism, at this point, has proven that it can regularly out kick its coverage.
  22. As I've noted before, models can be adjusted. This isn't a one-off. Fangraphs has seriously underestimated the Brewers for years.
  23. Because Fangraphs is crap. Almost to the point where its getting difficult to not accuse them of some sort of weird negative bias.
  24. I thought Murphy said that Miz's last start was a planned short one, but that his last start this weekend would be a normal lengthened one to get him ready for the postseason?
