    Murphy’s postgame justification on not pulling Devin after 5th run walked in: “Devin still had the chance for the save there, so you don’t want to pull him in that situation.” If that is his full and honest opinion, I don’t like it at all. You have to have a feel for what is going on. You can’t just say that as long as your closer is in a save situation, he has the ball, full stop. I choose to believe Murph is smarter than that, and is saying this to cover Devin’s pride and not dog him in public, or just cover his own rear end on the decision. Time will tell.

    Hey, we got off on the wrong foot. I’m not trying to pick a fight or anything, and when the all caps come out, that’s usually my cue to leave. You’re right, and I’m just talking about one game here, too. I said earlier one game doesn’t make a trend and I mean it. I’m not critically concerned yet. But this one game will look much worse if Devin Williams (a player already coming back from injury this year) has to get shut down again for any stretch of time, or shows signs of overuse down the stretch. I’m a Brewers fan, I have to worry about something—I’d be just as happy as anyone else if this is just a bump in the road, and it probably is. Cheers.

    1) If the sky rained beer my grocery budget would be lighter. 2) If Devin keeps getting used like this, and started losing it down the stretch, these arguments would be back. The point is, we shouldn’t have to lean on Devin this hard. No one would second-guess Murphy for saying Devin was down tonight, even if Mevill came in and blew the save.

    Then again, it’s not like Megill was terribly effective either. If the team knew he wasn’t ready and activated him hoping they wouldn’t have to use him, I’m just at a loss. Something doesn’t add up. Either roster management or in-game management failed horrifically. One game does not a trend make. But now we’re on trend watch.
  5. HarveysWBs
    Thanks, Murph. Go get em tomorrow.

    Every inning, every pitch matters. Wear and tear adds up, and if we can save guys, I’d certainly like to do it. And also:

    And now we have to play extras and burn up more bullpen—the bullpen which, by the way, is the essential piece to the playoff puzzle for us. Nice.

    Worst managing I’ve seen from Murphy all year. Murphy has been fine as far as I’m concerned, but this one was DUMB.
  9. HarveysWBs
    Good grief, man

    Clown show behind the plate
  11. HarveysWBs
    Is Megill dead? Devin doesn’t have it, let’s not burn him up too much in August.
  12. HarveysWBs
    Cool, ump. That’s cool.
  13. HarveysWBs
    Oh yeah, it’s been a great ending. But unlike Gack, I was really sure I was going to win that bet…
  14. HarveysWBs
    Sure, but that kind of illustrates the point that what you are on August 18th does not exactly indicate where you’ll be a month and a half later. On October 2nd, the Cards’ run diff was down to +19, and their putrid 83-win campaign actually exceeded their Pythagorean W/L by a single game. The existence of that championship team is an abomination, made all the more galling by the fact that the Brewers have met or exceeded that win total ten times (about to become eleven) since 2006 and haven’t even won a pennant. So yeah, I want to see the Cardinals lose and go ahead and keep on losing forever.
  15. HarveysWBs
    The ‘06 Cardinals were absolute trash. I still get mad thinking about that team. But I bet a girl that they’d lose the World Series against the Tigers. Lost the bet, took her on a date, and the rest is history, so not all bad I guess.
  16. HarveysWBs
    You never stop worrying about the horror villain until the lights go up in the theater. This is NL Central 101 stuff.
  17. HarveysWBs
    On a more serious note, I hope this is the last favor we do the Twins for a while. Can’t stand those guys…
  18. HarveysWBs
    20 wins over and we’re not even fully clicking yet. Right where you want to be at this point. Get the bats going in a few weeks and look out.
  19. HarveysWBs
    Honestly, a no-no is one of the last things we need right now. Rea hurling 120+ pitches in late August is not exactly how I’d like us to utilize our finite pitching resources.
  20. HarveysWBs
    Attended the game last night—can confirm, if the panels are also closed. The first few innings had roof AND panels closed, and it was brutal. But when the panels opened up it made a huge difference
  21. HarveysWBs
    Seriously. If this team rosters a kicker that can only muster a low-80s make percentage and we go out in the playoffs because of a missed field goal(s), so help me Gute... It isn't the 1990's anymore, no one should have to live this way. UPDATE: And then I go look up Crosby's career percentage and it was... *pause for dramatic effect* 81.3%! What do I know? Apparently very little.

    I know that in a sense, the weight of the entire franchise was already on his shoulders, but after today, the weight of the franchise is really on his shoulders. It is not fair to expect him to be ready for this moment. But as Ra’s al Ghul said, “death does not wait for you to be ready.” The playoffs are calling, and it will be do or die time.
  24. HarveysWBs
    I couldn’t agree more. Humans, and maybe especially baseball players, are such creatures of the story. Even when we want to deny that the past bears any weight on our present and future, we fall back on literary metaphors like “we’re going to turn the page.” If they get swept or lose the season series by like a 1-7 margin, the story is the same old Brewers can’t hang with the big boys. Now they know they can do it, not just intellectually (everyone always knows sports is an any given day proposition) but if they have a narrative in their favor, that means belief. That’s huge.

    Unbelievable series. Way to get off the mat, boys! Let’s roll!
