    I'm already mentally preparing for the backlash in game 2 of the NLDS when Ortiz is on the bench because Michael King is starting.
  2. Lucas O.
    Oh I think the second inning was totally fine. I was more talking about the play it by ear potentially sending him out for the 9th inning as well.
  3. Lucas O.
    Yeah that just seems silly especially because he's largely been a single inning guy this year. It's one thing for the White Sox to do that with Grant Taylor who has been used in a multi-inning role this year and it's a totally different thing to do it with a single inning guy. Definitely a sign of Mattingly being an old school by the gut type of guy.
  4. Lucas O.
    I don't think Mattingly had any intention of having Duran getting a three inning save. Maybe he said differently after the game and if he did I agree he definitely was out of his mind. Pretty sure Boylan was warming in the 8th but this is a guy who hasn't pitched in a game since 9/17 because of a groin injury so who knows if he is truly 100%. It didn't work out and unfortunately for the Phillies that's the type of move that can essentially kill your chances of winning the series considering you need to win the next two games now and it feels unlikely that Duran is going to be able to pitch in both of those games.
  5. Lucas O.
    Yeah if you can't beat the Padres then you were going to stand no chance against the Dodgers so it never really meant much to me.
  6. Lucas O.
    This is a solid point. Brewers offense looked pretty good against the Cubs pitching last year and then had a rough transition to the Dodgers pitching.
  7. Lucas O.
    He did hit 2 HR in the game in Tampa but this is his first night game since he got hit.
  8. Lucas O.
    Yeah I think the writing was on the wall for Black when a 1B went on the IL with 3 games left in the year and the Brewers recalled Lockridge over Black
  9. Lucas O.
    I do feel bad for the teams that get stuck with the short end of the stick with the earliest start time. Even for the playoffs it's tough to sell out a 2pm local start on a Tuesday on two days notice.
  10. Lucas O.
    Petco is absolutely rocking. If the Padres advance, feels crucial on the road against them to get off to early leads. Don't let that crowd get rocking.
  11. Lucas O.
    Venable with the sneaky vet move there to go out and complain about something to the ump getting Taylor who was clearly gassing out a bit of a breather.
  12. Lucas O.
    I really don't understand what Houston is doing with these pitching decisions. Why are they using their 8th and 9th inning relievers when losing by 4 and 3 runs when barring a miraculous comeback they will need to win the next two nights.
  13. Lucas O.
    Yeah I agree. Thought it was smart strategy considering the state of the Phillies bullpen. Just didn't work out. Mattingly is getting roasted online but I'm sure the same people roasting him would have also roasted him if he went to Bowlan or Mayza in the 7th and they gave up runs. Such is the life of a manager with a bad bullpen.
  14. Lucas O.
    If the Cubs beat said white hot team while on the road, would you want to face them?
  15. Lucas O.
    I'm not sure the Dodgers odds should be as high as Fangraphs has them but I do think they are the clear on paper favorite to win the WS again. Nobody really compares to them on paper. Best postseason SP group, super deep RP group (and Edwin Diaz unfortunately looks back in form), super deep postseason lineup, and they have the most experience as well. Also feel like they have an easier path to the NLCS than the Brewers do as I think the Cubs and Padres are both better than the Braves and Phillies.
  16. Lucas O.
    He was the unofficial captain. It's just official now with a C on his jersey
  17. Lucas O.
    Do I trust him? Heck no lol but I also didn't trust Misiorowski (didn't even want him on the postseason roster) last year so my trust doesn't mean much for how much success a pitcher will or won't have in the postseason.
  18. Lucas O.
    Meanwhile the furthest west the Padres have been since September 3rd is Denver.
  19. Lucas O.
    I'd say no if he doesn't get recalled before the postseason but I guess you can never know.
  20. Lucas O.
    Curious how you're getting there. They have 14 pitchers on the current roster and one is Bryse Wilson who will not be on the postseason roster. If they carry 13 wouldn't it just be the non-Wilson pitchers on the current roster?
  21. Lucas O.
    Well I whiffed on this one though he's at 1.7 bWAR (don't look at the fWAR)
  22. Lucas O.
    No Cubs and Padres have already clinched a playoff spot. The only way the Dbacks can only be the 6 seed and can only pass the Phillies. Their magic number is 3 with 2 games to go so need either 2 wins and 1 Phillies loss or 1 win and 2 Phillies losses.
  23. Lucas O.
    I've always thought they look good. I just don't like that it's not Milwaukee branding.
  24. Lucas O.
    It was a weapon last year in Milwaukee. It was his highest run value pitch. Hitters had a .173 BA and .271 SLG against his changeup
  25. Lucas O.
    He threw changeups in Milwaukee as well. It was his second most used pitch last year.
