    For the record:

    I don’t know how a guy like May who was doing some solid work on a team with a worse defense behind him and can come to our organization with all our pitching focus and get so much worse. It is kinda mind blowing. The theory that we could play up his stuff and that his playoff experience would pay off down the stretch has just not come to fruition. It really stinks, but here we are. This is the part that worries me about a long series.

    Let’s go!

    Four out save with Megill feels white knuckle, but considering the situation, any save was going to feel a little white knuckle so maybe its just me...

    Great shorten up approach there after Bill knows he missed a couple center cut heaters. Got to two strikes and took a team-first swing, and Turang ran the bases like a gazelle. This team is hungry and I love all of it.

    Do you believe?!

    Idk about playing Ohtani to pull here. He’s been behind a lot lately.
  8. HarveysWBs
    Correct, otherwise I imagine that would still be the low point.
  9. HarveysWBs
    Well, it's official. The Brewers have me right where they want me. This would now be the most painful baseball series loss of my entire life, so they better not muff this up. [But seriously...I don't even want to imagine the pain of it, so let's just take care of business in LA.]

    Winning is good, I like winning. Winning by 10 would be cool, but I like winning anyway.

    In a seven game series, I think 1-1 in the first two is ok in a vacuum. But the lower seed gets a three-gamer at home after that, which is tough. And perhaps more importantly, the Brewers could use some narrative shifts: need to show they can actually beat the Dodgers in the playoffs (its been a while) and Miz could use a good game after a meh game last time out. Let's go get this one done.
  13. HarveysWBs
    That was a necessary win, as much for the record as it was for the vibes. But hopefully nobody in Green Bay is getting high on their own supply. It’s going to take more than a (highly satisfying) beat down of a bad defense and some bad backup quarterbacks to declare this ship righted. But it could be a start. We’ll know in a few weeks. I kinda doubt it, though.
  14. HarveysWBs
    The house should always win. The Dodgers are the money. They spend oodles of cash on their bats to carry them through a regular season so they can casually win 100 games while pointedly not using their lavishly overpaid pitchers who take large portions of the dog days luxuriating (sorry, rehabbing) on the injured list and are always somehow ramped up just in time for October. It is a brutally effective system that few teams have the wherewithal to match, and the Brewers can only dream about it. If I were a gambler, I'd scarcely put my money anywhere else besides LA. It would be foolish to do otherwise. But I don't gamble. I watch a funny little game with round balls and round sticks that yields some funny results. And these Brewers have quite a system to them as well. Probably wouldn't be enough to beat the Dodgers at their best in a twenty or thirty game series, but that isn't what we're doing here. Juggernauts never live forever, and the ball doesn't bounce away from you every single time. Bring us the pennant: Brewers in seven.

    Poor Coop doesn’t drink and is desperately trying to keep the booze out of his Fanta, haha. Good luck, my man.
  16. HarveysWBs
    That’ll do, Crew. Now get some rest. Goliath awaits.

    Get that RBI monkey off his back!

    I can virtually guarantee you that the Brewers brass are aware of the sunk cost fallacy and are not trotting May out there because they put sizable resources into his acquisition. You are mixing up the causal links here: the Brewers are starting May because they believe in his stuff, which is what caused them to trade for him in the first place. Now, that being said, I'll acknowledge that their belief may prove to be misplaced. The issue has been litigated enough around here that I have nothing really to add to that discussion apart from to say that I think tonight (and any subsequent playoff appearance May is able to see) will be the real test of the wisdom or folly of that trade. I also think the leash will be short. Nobody is going to be asked to simply wear a clunker and eat innings in the playoffs, so if May struggles, I think we can count on Murphy for the hook.
  22. HarveysWBs
    I’m not sure how a team comes back from this: and frankly, I don’t want to find out. So I hope we have good May, and that the lefty bats are cooking, and we extinguish their flickering flame tonight.
  23. HarveysWBs
    No. Hard pass. No one from Chicago.
  24. HarveysWBs
    Do other teams’ victories get dissected like this, or is it mostly because this is the Brewers and so there has to be some fluke or “one weird trick” explanation for why the team has been overperforming every national media or fan’s expectations for years? I don’t care about this either. It just seems so obviously desperate in light of roof cable-gate and projections routinely underestimating the Brewers and hardly any pregame analysts picking the Brewers to win. Pathetic.

    Put me down in the “no Braun” camp. I get the votes in favor of him, and he was my favorite Brewer growing up. And yes, one can make a very sound case that the real Mount Rushmore is a testament to the fact that greatness does not preclude moral controversy. But if I’m making the call, Braun is out. His decisions and behavior were an absolute outrage. I can’t even begin to comprehend how I would have made sense of the Brewers winning the title in 2011 and then the scandal tarnishing all of it. I very well might have given up on baseball after that. So to me, he is persona non grata. So assuming we’re considering only players, and that Yount/Molly are up there in whatever order you like, and Braun is out in disgrace, I’d put Sabbathia on for his role in rescuing the team from obscurity through a transcendent run in 2008, the likes of which we will probably never see again. And Yelich holds the last spot for now owing to his contributions as a whole. He’s a bubble guy, but hoisting a trophy would pretty much cement him for me.
