oof 5 K's for Garcia
-
Just a normal strike out the side
-
Even holding them to one will seem like a miracle
-
Well they had to go with someone. Even if they were going to let Hader go 2, that would be 4 innings in 4 days which seems like the kind of overuse they want to avoid. I'm not even totally sure he gets the 9th. I think he will but I wouldn't be 100% on it. He threw 13 Sunday afternoon and 15 Monday, nothing excessive. I guess I always think after a day off a reliever is good to go and with tomorrow off why not. I don't really expect it to happen though. Lets get some insurance and make it moot..
-
If we get through the 7th with the lead why not hand the game to Hader? The sweep would be huge and a day off tomorrow. I know Counsell just said he is a one inning guy now but man I want this one. Here comes Williams in the tight game, I guess his demotion was brief.

Burnes/Woodruff Extension Proposal
OldHeidelberg replied to Greenleaf1's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I could see that especially if Ashby and/or Small turn out to be good. That is probably what is going to happen. I doubt Burnes is too interested in an extension but I would think buying out Woodruff's age 32 and 33 season might work. He is a big guy who throws gas with a pretty solid track record now so I would think those years could still be prime and he might like the security. I don't know that he would go with a couple of team option years though, if they don't pick them up it means he isn't going to hit the jackpot in FA so we would have to guarantee those years. I sure hope the team doesn't blow it because of financial constaints if we have a 3-4 year window with these guys. Not much we can do with the offense this year other than a a Story type rental but we can't go into seasons with hope for the best lineups like we did this season if we want to compete with the Dodgers. -
Didn’t pitch yesterday You are right, thought it was like 4 in a row
-
Seems like boxberger pitches every day now
-
If Woody is our third best starter we are going to cruise in this division. Freddy still walks too many, he has had short stints of brilliance before.
-
Nice bounce back to win series after that depressing opener. 5-4 with tough early schedule, hopefully the hitters can keep it going now that they have showed some life.
-
Pina sporting the 1.033 OPS. Not bad
-
Anderson got through 5, didn't see that coming after like 50 pitched through 2.
-
Glad they let Oviedo bat so he can walk some guys
-
Looks like we are going to need a long man today and Suter and Lindblom pitched yesterday.
-
Only a week in and I am already feeling like we could really use Braun in the lineup 4 times a week...
-
4th start where Woody has only given up 1 hit, off the top of my head two 8 inning starts, one 7, and an early 6 2/3 innings last season.
-
Over-managing nonsense that has been rampant in baseball for a good 20 years. All I can think of is getting Williams work in a tight situation. No way I'd have taken Woody out with how he looked and his counts. But managers have their guys for their cute situations and circumstances be damned. Well, Counsel seems more guilty of it than most others. He can't wait to bring in his relievers. Too bad for Woody but lets not forget the offense left him hanging with just a 1 run lead after that gem.
-
Totally. If you are moving is so late I don't see why it matters much where and no risk of rain out either. It would be a great gesture to the Hammer and the Milwaukee fans.

No Cash, No Paper Tickets, No Carry-ins..... No Problems?
OldHeidelberg replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Overhead. No mailing costs. No printers to print tickets. No people running those printers. Etc. Right, I'm talking about printing tickets at home. Not printed tickets that get mailed out. I went to a Packer game in Miami a few years that probably had about 20,000 unsold tickets as that stadium is huge. Some friends who came to tailgate and hope for ticket bought $50 paper tickets from scalpers right before the game. Only one worked when they tried to go in but for whatever reason they let the other one through too, my guess is a decision was made with so many unsold seats to let people in to buy more concessions, etc. It was a mess, lots of people around our seats had tickets for the same seats. That was a weird situation but I have always thought the paper printed tickets was an issue because of scalpers. Pretty hard to stop it as long as you wanted to sell tickets online right up until the day of the game though. I tend to agree with whoever said above that the 10% of people who can't get it together in line now won't change that much with mobile device tickets. I don't really like the idea of buying concessions that way but it's just because I think things go quicker with cash, that may not be true anymore. -
Agreed, I could be wrong but the change made for Houser to throw more sinkers so he could get ground balls was prior to last year. So we have the short covid season and this spring to go on, not really a head scratcher that they are sticking with it for now to me. Like has already been brought up they improved the infield defense with Wong so not surprising they want to stick with a guy that pitches to grounders, it's angles like that a money limited team like the Brewers need to try to find. Plus I had high hopes for Houser as a starter just like I do for Peralta so lets give it a little more time.

Packer 2021 Team Discussion (Rodgers Out Vs. Chiefs)
OldHeidelberg replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
While I suppose he could be cut in camp if they gave him a $2.1 million signing bonus his first year base is essentially guaranteed as well so maybe that is the discrepancy in the numbers we have heard. Glad to have him back, I don't mind the bringing most of the same team back, we were close, but like others have said we could do that and bring in Watt(or another need FA) if we were willing to sell out the future a bit. But the Packers don't do this, and the cap reduction further reduced their options this offseason. We need a great draft and hopefully some guys from last years to step up as we probably won't be so healthy again. Is the Adams extension a given now that Rodgers doesn't seem like he will be restructured? Have to free up room for these contracts and the rookies somehow. -
Packer 2021 Team Discussion (Rodgers Out Vs. Chiefs)
OldHeidelberg replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
LTBE incentives count against the cap so hopefully these are not them but he still hits them. They sure love their own players/draft picks, that doesn't seem to have changed under Gutes. I don't mind bringing him back, at least it is a position where we didn't have a replacement like we do with RB. But the $6 million amount floored me, hope it is about half that. -
OT Breaking Bad.......Cubs style
OldHeidelberg replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That's enough for me, the entire Cubs organization needs to be investigated for cartel connections and possibly have any recent WS titles vacated. I would probably look for Cardinals connections as well although that wasn't stated in the article.
