Likely. Domingo is such a frustrating player. It's like all the tools are there, but you can't get the drawer of the toolbox open. -
Well, I'm happy to see Buehler go.
-
He'll have Muncy, then they go to Jeffress I bet. Geez Santana. Take the bat off your shoulder!
-
Why not use Granderson here? They have so many lefties, no doubt they'll be in later.
-
Hader isn't the only Brewers stud reliever. You sound like the Fox studio guys LOL
-
Yep I don't question starting Kratz. I'm sure there is a ton of data indicating he should be in there. I do like Pina's bat, though, and wouldn't mind seeing him on a double switch soon.
-
One hell of a bunt by Bueller.
-
This is Hader's last inning.
-
Lead off walks. Pitching has been great, but so many lead off walks in this series.
-
Might pitch 4 tonight.
-
It is the 2nd inning. Lots of ballgame yet. Gotta think about getting Chacin out pretty quick here. He looks bad.
-
Well, that was a meatball. Dang.
-
I give Machado credit there. Good move.
-
Good point. I was wondering the same thing.
-
Huge spot, and he came though.
-
I would think it would open up the Mets as a strong trade partner. I don't know for sure, but I imagine Doug and David Stearns relationship is good.
-
It's 5 hours to game time. I think this conversation is fine. I'd be interested in hearing who the other 2B options are out there that people like better. All I care about is staying away from the low OBP, high K guys. I'd prefer a right-handed or switch-hitting batter, too.

I've been a Schoop defender since the trade, thinking he'd get hot once he got comfortable. He performance in Game 4 turned me, though. He managed to stack 5 of probably the top 15 worst at-bats this team has taken in this series in that one game. Chasing, constantly behind in the count, just complete guessing up there with no patience. If a guy can't put together a solid AB in that kind of spot, he doesn't have a place on this team. I have no doubt another team will give him an opportunity, and he'll likely play well again. Quite possibly even very well. His style of play and approach just isn't conducive to consistency, though, and this team has enough of those types already.

LeMahieu has a career OPS+ of 92, and has already had his prime years. Schoop has an OPS+ of 98 for his career, and may still have his prime years ahead of him. So yeah, Miller is a hitter-friendly park, but it's not Coors and LeMahiue would probably just be another 6/7 type hitter on a team that already has too many of those and not enough reliable 3/4 guys to follow up Cain and Yelich. Schoop has been terrible, no doubt, but so was Santana early this year and so was Aguilar until yesterday. I hated the trade but I don't see a simple upgrade. He could almost be a mascot for the Brewers' offense as a whole because it seems like they should be so dangerous but they're often not - often due to lack of plate discipline, among other things. I guess it would be more about looking for a guy who brings a different philosophy when he's up there. LeMahieu isn't a power guy. He's more a high average, "put the ball in play" guy. Schoop is obvious a "try to hit an 18-run homer every time up" type. We just have too many of those "all or nothing" guys already. Another contact guy after Cain, or even in the #6-7 hole would be ideal. Schoop is never going to be that guy. Can Schoop be a useful player? Of course. I just don't see a fit for another low OBP, high K guy in this lineup on a regular basis.

Yes, this roster is amazing. Look at the guys who didn’t make the post season roster. There are 6-7 critical pitchers to get us to this point that are watching. As JoeyMeyer pointed out the other day, adding a guy like LeMahieu and perhaps Lowrie can be a big boost for our position players too. This is setting up nicely short and long term. Getting Lemahieu is a real possibility. He has family ties to Wisconsin. His grandmother lives in Oostburg and when Colorado was in town earlier this year he visited some friends of mine who have a 7 year old son who's favorite player is him. He posed for a picture with him. LeMahieu would be an absolute ideal #2 hole hitter in this lineup. But he'd also be a perfect fit in a lot of lineups. I have a feeling he will be pretty highly sought after this offseason. The nice thing about him is that he has some positional versatility as well, as he's logged time at 3B and SS. He's known as a very good fielder at 2B, though, and at 30 years old is still in the prime of his career.

Well, I woke up to about an inch of snow in the Northwoods. 'Tis the season!

Very true about baseball. Although in their defense, they didn't get to bat against Ryu, did they? He was so awful that it's almost not fair to compare guys who faced him vs. guys who didn't. However, I don't think anyone advocated Granderson starting against the LHP. I don't think anyone has ever advocated him facing an LHP since he's been a Brewer, for that matter. That was in anticipation of a possible game 7. Aguilar is the guy that made many people "eat their words". Hopefully facing a pitcher who was doomed to struggle even more than Aguilar has was just the thing to get his confidence back. But I put "eat their words" in quotation marks because I don't even believe in trying to predict what's going to happen in any given game and I don't believe guessing wrong is the same as being wrong-headed. Saying you'd start Braun at 1B and Santana in RF, if it was an option, was reasonable and people had plenty of evidence to support it. That's all you can do. Then you baseball. I totally agree. I certainly saw the logic behind giving Santana a start. And I've loved how Granderson has battled in his at-bats up until last night. I certainly didn't expect the col guys to get going against Ryu, yet another crafty lefty. A lot of things happened last night that defy logic ... and it was great! I would think that Granderson will be the first pat off the bench against Bueller tonight. I would be tempted to give him a start in LF, but there is no way, no how that Braun isn't starting Game 7 of the NLCS. You can't really bench Aguilar after last night, either. It's a terrific position to be in.

They got to Kershaw last time he pitched in Miller Park. They'll do it again. It isn't like the Dodgers pen has been bad by any means. i think it would be a mistake for them to go to Kershaw.
-
That stadium is going to be insane tomorrow. So happy to have home field advantage in this series.
-
Pretty cool interview from Miley. He was asked about how loud the stadium was tonight. He said he hasn't heard anything close since 2011, when he was pitching for the Diamondbacks. Here. In the NLDS.
