    Sure... but wasn't it really just that 1st inning? He's been lights out almost all year, but I hear ya. I didn't feel great about pitching Miz in a 1-0 game... and he gave us 4 strong. It's all in front of them. Outside of Gasser and maybe giving Bauer an AB, I can't blame Murphy for this game. I think he's handled the series well, but Turang, Yelich, Frelick... gotta get better ABs from them.
  2. BrewerFan
    No... but... we can't ask the BP to hold them to 1, can we?
  3. BrewerFan
    Yelich is just watching Fastball's again...

    Would y'all really rather see Mears here? I'll be more puckered when/if he gets in. I DO kinda trust Koenig... but I think I'd run Patrick out there...(after we score 3 here).
  5. BrewerFan
    Oh... boy. I will be back... I have soiled myself...
  6. BrewerFan
    Patrick... keep this great post-season going... C'MON NOW!!
  7. BrewerFan
    Agreed. Tough when they hit a LD right there at the 2B.
  8. BrewerFan
    You bringing Mis back out? He looked like he was... maybe running out of gas(for a guy throwing 101). IDK... maybe start him, but have someone ready?
  9. BrewerFan
    I MIGHT have just fixed this for you...
  10. BrewerFan
    I mean... maybe a couple! But he has been pretty damn solid.
  11. BrewerFan
    We're acting like Bauers is 2009 Albert Pujols. I'd rather have 4-1 than 2-1 with Ortiz' defense, but... Ortiz put a good swing on it and now we have the top of the order up.
  12. BrewerFan
    Yes... he did. I was... a bit nervous when he came in, but he and Vaughn have been the MVPs of this series... through 4 games and 4 1/2 innings of Gm5. Now put some runs on the ***** board and make that stand up!
  13. BrewerFan
    IDK, I see the argument, but... that defense is pretty big. Would have been REAL bad if Vaughn hadn't picked that first GB after the AB.
  14. BrewerFan
    Vaughn has been... really solid defensively. Not terrible offensively either since the trade.
  15. BrewerFan
    Biggest IP for any Brewers pitcher all year. Miz has to come back and NOT let the Cubs answer... and keep attacking.
  16. BrewerFan
    We're not playing a gimpy Chourio in CF. That's like... Kotsay out there. When did we get this soft? Turang has been bad 3 games... coming off a 5.5 WAR season and it's 'there goes any shot of a good first inning!' LOL... c'mon.
  17. BrewerFan
    Well.. I don't object to Mis, but not to start. I'm curious why you'd be surprised to see Quintana? Threw the same day as Priester, threw just 9 more pitches. He was more effective and he's a lefty. I could see him going out there for the 1st and then if he has an easy inning, give him 2 or 3. I actually wouldn't be surprised by Ashby either. The Lefty opener isn't a bad idea. Ashby gave up 3, but they hit one way out of the zone for a HR(at least a few inches up) and I thought that inning turned on that 1-1 pitcher to Tucker. The strike right down the middle that was a ball. Not to make excuses, they won... but it caused Murphy to go away from the lefty opener IMO and we need that.

    Also, good to hear Watson is back. What did MLF say? He looked like a freak? He changes an offense more than any guy who gets ~600-700 a year possibly could. He's not Moss, but again, one of only 4 guys in NFL history to run in the 4.3s at his size. 3 since Pryor initially ran as a QB. But still... big+fast+strong... not this week, but he started practicing. I was thinking week 12 maybe. That'd be a fast recovery. I'll guess he'll get some snaps in 3 weeks, the long end. But, good news all the same.
  19. BrewerFan
    And Sean Rhyan still wouldn't start for them. It'd be nice if Belton would be back this week, but it sounds like he'll be out for a while yet. Tom is a tossup. Walker is banged up. They still need to put this game away early. If not by half, shortly thereafter. They've got Hendrickson and pretty good DTs(at least vs the run). But they play so much Cover1 Man, they should be able to get some big plays. If it's Morgan and Kinnard at the Tackles... Fitpatrick should be in a lot to block or play more Brooks. He was huge in the first few games in pass pro. There was one game vs Detroit, he chipped Hutchinson and then was still in position to get a blitzing LBer and stood him up. I like Wilson and Jacobs as backs, but until this OL either plays better as is or gets healthy, take a couple guys out of the routes and keep 6 or even 7 in to block. I don't actually think Carson was as bad as he looked. We had terrible snaps and Whelan was just learning how to hold. That hold against SF was.. brutal. Plus, we couldn't block. Great news Jenkins is going to be on FG block. Curious why he wasn't before. Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, they're on FG block on a much deeper OL... But, at least they're making that change. But sure, go for it. Give them something to work on.
  20. BrewerFan
    LOL... Cubs fans are just as pressed. They had one reprieve in '16, but they haven't exactly been clutch in the post-season the last 30 years themselves.
  21. BrewerFan
    That's asking a LOT to start the game. I wouldn't tell the kid until tomorrow. He's young enough, I don't think the whole "routine" matters. I probably wouldn't pitch him in the first. The best case scenario would be to get a couple early(obviously)... and then just drill it into Misiorowski's head that his stuff is so good, as long as he's attacking and NOT letting his front fly open(which you don't need to be an MLB pitching coach to see happens when he gets excited)... he could get rolling and give you a repeat. He could also just as easily walk 2 and then in an effort to NOT walk a 3rd, groove a FB to Tucker and they score early. It's the playoffs, so anyone can go, but... I probably would have not pitched Patrick last night when we were down because I wanted to see him in a potential Game 5.
  22. BrewerFan
    I think this is what I'd do. The Brewers are GOING to come out and hit the ball better. I just... may be inclined to give Quintana the ball to start the game. Let him face the lefties. Let him get a couple innings. He's got the approach that I think will work vs a Chicago team that's going to be pressing on the road. Koenig, Ashby... I'd be fine with them in the 1st inning. I wonder if Gasser after that elbow injury may be dealing with arm fatigue though? Just... talking out loud here. Tobias Myers has been throwing pretty good.
  23. BrewerFan
    I'm going with Priester tomorrow to start. I don't care what happened in Gm3... things happen. I trust him, he's been there all year. He gets ground balls and... I don't trust Misiorowski. With Miz, you have 3 batters. That can put you behind the 8 ball... as we've seen EVERY game this series. And I think whichever team finds themselves behind is going to be really pressing. Priester got smacked around... sucks. But he'll be at home, GB pitcher... and maybe Miz can get some outs with a 2-3 run lead and if he can, he can get rolling. If he can't... Chad Patrick has to fill in. The other option is Quintana in the first? Let that play out? See if the Cubs are going to be aggressive and if the savvy vet can make them a little overly aggressive?
  24. BrewerFan
    Yeah, that's... played up even more in the post-season. Plus, you have a guy in the BP who has really earned the right to start a game in the NLCS in Chad Patrick. I ALSO believe Priester is going to come through next time he's up.
  25. BrewerFan
    I do not trust Mis enough to do that. The way I'd use Mis at this point... in a close game would be with nobody on and I'd be ready with a VERY quick hook. But... I'm not throwing him ahead of Freddy. I will say... if we had Patrick fresh(maybe Myers, I don't like that decision) I could understand the logic behind going BP... but I wouldn't agree with it. The argument FOR would be to be able to come back with Freddy in Gm1 of the next round, but... can't be thinking like that. You have to put this Cubs team away. They have too good of a lineup to get too cute. That said, I was very wrong about Gm2 so I'll root for whatever they decide to do. But this seems like a really simple call. About as simple as Vaughn starting the game vs a LHP.
