  1. I like that when people say, "could have" it means it didn't.
  2. Counter, counter argument. It's not like folks stopped being critical of umpires once he retired.
  3. Exactly. Going into this game which pitcher would you have had the most confidence in, Ashby as an opener or the plan to have Miz go multiple innings after him (yes with Mears sandwiched in between)? It just ended up that Ashby was having command problems and Miz ended up doing great.
  4. The only thing I have really been wanting to say about this is that I seriously doubt this was an all Murphy decision to go with a bullpen game. I'm sure many people were involved including the front office. Can I say that with 100% confidence? Of course not but it just never really felt to me that something like this would be all on one guy.
  5. Love this from MLB.com: But the Brewers needed more than velocity; they needed outs on a night that was planned as a bullpen game all along, despite right-hander Quinn Priester getting loose in the bullpen and on the field while Ashby did his own pregame warmups. The idea was first proposed to him at 3:30 p.m. CT. Priester would go out to the bullpen to warm up alongside Ashby so the Cubs would think he was the “bulk” man for the day. But the Brewers planned a bullpen game all the way, with Nick Mears slated to put out the first fire and then Misiorowski to take a clean inning and go something like 30-50 pitches. Whether Priester’s decoy made any difference in the way the game unfolded was debatable at best. But he sure enjoyed it. “Did they say already that it was a total deke?” Priester asked a reporter. “Or did you just know, because it’s a total Brewers thing to do. I didn’t care. I thought, ‘If this is going to help us one percent, or help us on one at-bat or one pitch, why not?' “I wasn’t pitching today, so if that’s one way I can help us win, screw it. I’ll do whatever.”
  6. Dang Durbin, adrenaline running high or what? That had to hurt.
  7. Somehow it's only the 4th inning. Feels like it's been 3 hours lol.
  8. Too many balls outside the strike zone for my liking. Got through it though.
  9. Playing a baseball game that is currently tied.
  10. I didn't have a problem with Ashby getting the start and I still don't. He just didn't have the strike zone. Was he not dealing with nerves? Who can say but if he doesn't throw strikes it's going to hurt the team whether it's in the 1st inning or 7th/8th.
  11. Predicted that. Ashby losing the strike zone is just begging for a dinger.
  12. Michael Busch: .261/.343/.523/.866 and 147 OPS+ Jackson Chourio: .270/.308/.463/.770 and 112 OPS+ William Contreras: .260/.355/.399/.754 and 111 OPS+ One of these things is not like the other two.
  13. I feel like I've said it a couple times this season that he's Trea Turner lite. Cant remember which threads but I think I said it before he went on his HR binge in,,, was it August? I think I was saying it before the All Star break.
  14. Hmm I wonder how much it matters how many Cubs fans got tickets today with the Brewers leading 9-1 after 2 innings? I'm sure it's still inexplicably important to some people though.
  15. Yes. Pasted below is an AI summary from Google but I've also read the article and can confirm it's correct. The MLB's automated strike zone parameters define a 17-inch wide, player-specific rectangle for the strike zone, set at the midpoint of the plate. The top of the zone is at 53.5% and the bottom is at 27% of the batter's height. The system uses Hawk-Eye technology to track pitches, making the ball/strike determination when the ball is at the midpoint of the plate. Strike Zone Dimensions Width: 17 inches, the width of home plate. Height: Adjusted for each player's height. The bottom of the zone is 27% of the batter's height. The top of the zone is 53.5% of the batter's height. Depth: The system makes its call when the ball is at the midpoint of the plate, 8.5 inches from the front and back. How the System Works Height Measurement: Independent testers measure each player's height during Spring Training to establish the official zone for that player. Players are measured standing straight up without cleats. Pitch Tracking: Hawk-Eye cameras track the ball's trajectory to the plate. Midpoint Call: The system determines if the ball crosses the strike zone when it's at the midpoint of home plate. Comparison to Rule Book: This is a change from the standard rule book zone, which considers a strike a pitch that crosses any part of the three-dimensional home plate.
  16. And these are just the called strikes. I can remember a handful of pitches that were well within the strike zone and called balls as well. Brutal.
  17. It's already been stated in this thread but I think way too many people are still holding the image of 2024 Eric Haase in their minds. He hasn't been that guy in 2025.
  18. The Brewers still have Haase. So they can still use him if they want to. It's possible that Jansen just took a bit of time to settle in to his new situation. Trades can be jarring even for better players than he is. It's one of the reasons I think trade deadline moves are generally overrated. And by that I mean that those moves coming at that specific time have a lot of expectations attached to them. There's no way to predict when those players feel a comfort level to just be who they are. Some do better than others in that situation.
  19. Can he coach football?
