    Yeah we thought we were looking really good Wednesday night with Priester lined up to pitch, and then Freddy last night. It all sounds great on paper...but it didn't happen. Need the bats tomorrow.

    I think this game depends on the offense. We can't expect the pen to keep being so perfect (except for Gasser late last night) or close to perfect and need our bats to start doing what they do and get on base, steal, create havok on the basepaths, maybe get into one and put pressure on the other team. If we do that, I think we win.

    Oh man I hear you. Last night was brutal. Even when it started and was 0-0 I was watching with the sound off. Something about hearing those national broadcasters favor the Cubs drives me insane when we are losing and playing poorly. I had to be doing something else in the basement while watching it was too painful.

    Up 2-0, had both our ideal starters going in game 3 and game 4 and they beat us...just goes to show you in baseball why you play the games. Sometimes not everything works out like you want or planned. This is one of those situations. I feel like it's our duty to fill hat place up, you know those Cubs fans will be comin in hot we gotta pack that place and get the team jacked again.

    I'm interested! PM me details

    Feel like this thread needs some support today and tomorrow... Feels similar to 2011 with Arizona, right? Win both home games, lose both road games. Game 5 was a dogfight and we won. That's what I'm hoping for here.
  7. kestrel79
    Good takes, and I like how you don't go on this site for the games. I think that's a great idea.
  8. kestrel79
    Yep easy call, go with your Ace. Ride or die with him, go for the kill and avoid game 5 best you can. Sure he's a flyball pitcher and the wind is blowing out a bit, who else do we have available that isn't a flyball pitcher that can go 5-6 innings and is fresh? Most of our guys available tonight can give up the long ball...and the wind is blowing out for our offense too. How about we just score a ton of runs and win it that way. My anxiety would appreciate that.

    Yep I think we all remember 2011 NLDS and NLCS I believe we won early games in those series too. It's not over by a long shot. Going to be a fight today.

    I was at the game, foul territory by the left field foul pole. Man the Vaughn homer was awesome. It got almost kinda quiet over by us, people just watching that ball hang up there wondering where it's going to land and come down. Man was it loud during all 3 homers. All over the stadium it felt like over 9/10 Brewers to Cubs fans around by me.

    They've done the opener thing for Priester in the past this year and it worked good, so I get it. It's one of those moves that if it backfires you look bad, and if it works out you look good. As long as we don't get crazy, wild Ashby when he has so much movement he can't throw strikes I think we'll be ok. I see the strategy behind it as others have explained above. Jackson my guess they will rest him tonight with the other off day tomorrow but we'll see here.

    Craigers in the dugout giving signs for the Cubs D to shift to Spyder 2 Y Banana.

    Not here, but hearing lots of pouting from "fans" complaining our home field advantage is now gone that we are playing the Cubs...how did it help us in 2021? 2023? Game 7 2018? Last year? How did it help? We lost. It doesn't matter. Brewers players are used to Cubs fans in our stadium, it's just a fact of life. And I bet they feed off that energy a little bit rooting against them. Bring it on. Let's do this. One of these times we have to win a couple playoff series here and get hot at the right time. How sweet would it be to be right now for these next couple weeks.

    Very cool thanks! I love following Random Brewers on Twitter/X to find random players this is great.
  15. kestrel79
    Man just watched the gm 6 2018 NLDS highlights to get me pumped for the playoffs and feeling positive, man those are some great memories unlocked I was at that game. All I can feel still is game 7 :(
  16. kestrel79
    What's worse the Reds or the 2020 Brewers that snuck into the Playoffs with a losing record and looked completely overmatched against LA. The Ryon Healy battling cleanup game :) Excited for today's game 3s. Not excited that I can feel my playoff anxiety creeping...
  17. kestrel79
    So what ex Brewers are currently playing on playoff teams right now? So far in watching the last couple games I've spotted: Trent Grisham -low avg lots of homers for the Yankees this year. I'm sure that ballpark helps him out. Cubs have Collin Rea, Drew Pomeranz, and might have the guy we got in the Hader trade Taylor Rodgers but he has a brother too I think and I always confuse them. Anyone else?

    Another amazing game to be at, backs against the wall had to win to force game 7 and it was a very good W. Man left that stadium so amped for game 7. We had the momentum.
  19. kestrel79
    Amazing game to be at. The crowd was cheering so loud for every pitch. I waited my whole life to experience a Brewers playoff game, and a W at that from Dave Bush pitching a gem. It did not disappoint.

    I'm trying to remember did Kotsay play CF for us alot during the regular season that year? I don't think he did, which is why the move was so odd. Ugh that was such a bad call.
  21. kestrel79
    Now Chris Carpenter on the other hand... :)
  22. kestrel79
    So I got an email the other day saying it was a mistake. But just now I got another email basically saying the same thing I am auto renewed for next year?
  23. kestrel79
    I'm excited to give my Brewers Playoff anxiety a little break here and watch some other teams duke it out for a couple days. For me I'm always rooting for the underdog teams like us. Jays, Det, Cle, Sea if any of those teams go far count me in. SD and Cubs have both played us well this year so either way it's gonna be a dogfight.
  24. kestrel79
    Great data love reading this stuff!

    Our guys look a little tired, a little banged up this past month...maybe the bye will actually help them this year and we come back rested and with a mental reset to return to our winning ways just in time. It has to happen one of these years.
