    I do still have hope, really. Winning 4 of the next 5 games isn't impossible for any team, even against the Dodgers. This Brewers team is still a very good team. That said, I'm painfully aware of how difficult it will be and how unlikely it is to actually happen. I don't expect to advance beyond this series but I do still hope to. I suspect you do also.

    This is the counter-argument to the people that point to Milwaukee's success and say, "See, we don't need a salary cap, small markets can still compete." It's not that the big markets won't think like a small market, they will eventually. And then their resources will be that much more maximized for their own benefit and the small markets become even more minimalized. Just like the "moneyball" idea somewhat became the new status quo. Small markets will ALWAYS have their chances, it's just that nearly EVERYTHING has to go right for them to succeed at it. Drafting, development, coaching, chemistry, etc, etc. The big markets can hedge against needing everything to go right simply by spending. The small markets can't.

    I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. (Mods if you delete this I understand lol)

    Brewers had their shot in game 1. Snell left the game and suddenly they're all over the bases and being what we've seen all season. Brice, man I wish he'd have let himself take that HBP but instincts took over. I do think that the Brewers hitters do need to have a mindset in those situations where taking a HBP is something they need to have some awareness of. I feel like I see other batters do this and maybe it's just having that as part of the litany in your head as you prepare to receive a pitch. Be prepared. If you expect that an opportunity for a HBP can come then it's easier to control your instinct to react rather than just being surprised by it. It's hard for me to really fault them for not hitting enough against two really talented starting pitchers for 8 and 9 innings. Baseball is hard. They need to get into the bullpen. No guarantees there either but that's been the formula. Hope isn't lost but they're in a hole. Keep fighting.

    What I learned today is good things happen when you have a clean first inning.

    Never had a doubt!!! 😬

    I-ribe, Uribe, Everybody-ribe!

    I say that all the time. Tu-Rang

    BRICE BRICE BABY

    Definitely worth saying it twice.

    I'm losing my damn mind. Literally freaking how is every pitcher on this staff a homerun giving machine?
  12. SeaBass
    I don't care who starts the game but please, for the love of all that's holy, can we please see a scoreless first inning when the Cubs bat? For once? That means no homeruns which we've been forced to watch each of the last 3 games. Man, it just feels like the Cubs do all their damage in inning 1 and after that they're meek as mice. I don't care if we run Uribe out there I want a scoreless frame.

    I mean, Ortiz was on deck. I imagine he was hoping to get a run and not have to rely on our worst hitter having to get a hit.
  14. SeaBass
    I guess Priester put the final nail in the coffin of the Ashby opener bullpen game being a terrible move huh? Because you all knew he was the better option right? Keep your day jobs y'all.
  15. SeaBass
    Dale Sveum?
  16. SeaBass
    Shhh, the critics want to ignore that bit of logic.
  17. SeaBass
    I think I'm kinda good with Chourio just playing through it. If it goes, it goes. Situation sucks but at that point just use him until you can't. Doesn't mean that I don't think they can be careful with him if they get a decent enough lead and it's getting late. Just I'd rather not lose while he's sitting on the bench as a precaution.
  18. SeaBass
    Yes, I know the original post said "in spring training" but in my mind I'm thinking before the season, so off season, prior to the Devin Williams trade.
  19. SeaBass
    LOL or tell any of us that our success this season would be heavily tied to Quinn Priester, Andrew Vaughn and some random dude named Caleb Durbin. Honorable mention to Isaac Collins who was at least in the Brewers system going into this season..
  20. SeaBass
    Yeah, I mean it feels good now but any team winning 3 games in a row isn't exactly unheard of. I'd think most of us feel pretty confident right now but it's not over 'til it's over. Just a handful of years ago the Bucks were down 0-2 vs. the Suns in the championship series. They won the next 4.
  21. SeaBass
    I like that when people say, "could have" it means it didn't.
  22. SeaBass
    Counter, counter argument. It's not like folks stopped being critical of umpires once he retired.
  23. SeaBass
    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.
  24. SeaBass
    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.

    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.”
