    So... what would you have done then? Play Chourio in CF with his hamstring? That's a pretty obvious reason to change things. It's the playoffs. That's why you have to do some different things sometimes. You don't manage the same way in October as you do over 162 games for obvious reasons. Over 162 games, you don't have your starters throw out of the pen... because you're worried about the next 5-10-20 games. You're worried about winning ONE game at a time and just getting through that game. He's an excellent RFer. He's ALSO a good enough CFer to get through the last part of the game with him out there given... again, the only other option would have been Chourio. Chourio also has a pretty strong arm and can play RF well and Bauers is... not a scub in LF.

    I do not trust Miz and you might only get 3 batters out of him. Patrick is the guy I trust and I don't think you can ask him to go 3-4 innings tomorrow after the last two games. I say go with Freddy. And I wouldn't be scared to come back with Priester in Milwaukee in Gm5... but we're not going to get that 3rd home game revenue this year. Although... according to ChatGTP, that's worth about 5M in revenue... could mean we could add a FA, so... maybe that's Rick Schlsinger's plan? I know that's not how it's spelled... I don't care enough to spell it right.

    ... is this supposed to be in blue? LOL... I don't always put things in blue because it's sometimes SO obvious, but... please tell me this is one of those cases...

    Ok... that doesn't mean we should lose 3 games in a row in the playoffs to the Cubs. We won 97 games and we've shut the Cubs down for the most part. They scored 4 in the first and our BP DOMINATED them again. Hell, have Bauers start the game on the mound and bring Peralta in after one batter... given our BP's performance this series... Peralta is guaranteed to throw 7 shutout!

    I would say it's.. pretty hard to imagine they'll have a better opportunity anytime past the Chourio era... but I thought Priester was the obvious move here. We're the Brewers. We rely on and expect young players to be able to adapt to the post-season quickly. But even with Priester's struggles, we had chances. The Cubs tried to choke the game away and we just couldn't get that bit hit in 3 different innings. Durbin just goes for it and forces that throw home and I think he has a 50/50 chance of getting in under the tag. He was...7-8 feet away. I suppose he was thinking about getting men on 2nd and 3rd, but...

    He's played plenty of CF and he's a good enough fielder that... it really doesn't make sense to me that we're SO resistant to play him out there. Though.. Collins had a TERRIBLE at bat as well. That gets forgotten, but got up 3-0, two strikes, then swing at a ball in the dirt... I believe that was the inning that we had 1st and 3rd and 1 out.
  7. BrewerFan
    We also really didn't "waste" the BP. We threw Quintana, Koenig threw a bit, Patrick and Anderson. Didn't use Ashby, Uribe, Megill. We're good to go.
  8. BrewerFan
    You've said that every game. After the first inning yesterday, you said the series was over...
  9. BrewerFan
    Cubs had ONE good inning vs the Brewers. Priester was due a loss and... they couldn't get anything else going vs the Brewers pitching... and we blew this one. That's it. We're going to be fine. No fatalistic BS now. We're still up 2-1 and this series isn't gonna make it back to Milwaukee. I'm just hoping the Phillies can take a couple games so Philly comes to Milwaukee on October 13th!!!!
  10. BrewerFan
    Alright... That took everything for the Cubs. Pressure is still on them tomorrow at home with Gm5 back in Milwaukee and Freddy on the Mound.
  11. BrewerFan
    I think Frelick probably would. Bauers to the OF. Lets just hope we have to figure that out.
  12. BrewerFan
    It only made sense to me earlier because... Lockridge is really not a good hitter. But here... with hindsight, it's impossible to argue. If they would have, I certainly wouldn't have argued...
  13. BrewerFan
    This is a chance for Vaughn to really vault himself into Brewers lore...and he flies out to RF...
  14. BrewerFan
    I mean... who do you hit there? It's a toss up and he has been as good as anyone this year. If he's not hitting 3rd, he's hitting 1st or 2nd. It's been a brutal series since his first AB, but he finished the year having a big Sept, he had a big 2nd half. And again, a RHP started for the Cubs...
  15. BrewerFan
    Gonna need an unsung hero to come through. Mona...and then Perkins before Yelly and one gets on, it's the 21-year-old star. This feels a bit like a Miguel Cabrera type moment for him. I hope you're right.
  16. BrewerFan
    That's... a 50/50 call I think. I get the argument, but... he's your #3 hitter.
  17. BrewerFan
    He was so good in the playoffs last year and then starts this year with the double and just has NOT been competitive since then. Just bad at bats. Can't have that from your #3 hitter. Also... kinda feel like you should be saving Patrick here. Going with Uribe and Megill. He's one of the few I trust to give us multiple innings right now.
  18. BrewerFan
    It's...miserable. Not as bad as it's been in the past watching the game slowly slip away in the deciding game, but.. that hurts. I jumped the gun, I thought Vaughn was up 5th(Bauers and that Vaughn would hit for him)... but it ain't always about splits. You've got a guy who has been a legit middle of the order horse and... Guess he'll get his chance next inning, but that was your best chance. Leadoff #####ing double and it's stranded.
  19. BrewerFan
    They... came close. Cant' say I feel GREAT about Bauers, but Keller is wild and at least Bauers has a good eye...
  20. BrewerFan
    It just feels like it since it's been since the first AB of this series... but what a terrible AB. Changes the inning. Get the guy to 3rd... with 0 outs. That's what WS teams HAVE to do on the road, down a run.
  21. BrewerFan
    Frelick has to be on the run here...even with Vaughn coming up(and it has to be Vaughn, right)...
  22. BrewerFan
    What is going on Turang? I get it's Lefty on lefty, but that was not competitive. Contreras NEEDS to come through here!
  23. BrewerFan
    Maybe. It's kinda been a toss up vs righties. They're both have a ~.580 OPS vs RHP. Offense has to put some pressure on the Cubs and Tallion this inning.
  24. BrewerFan
    Ortiz HAS been on twice in each of the first two games. I'm not confusing him with Derek Jeter, but... he's battling and looks alright. We really need Turang and company to throw well.
  25. BrewerFan
    Yeah, I don't know... that one I don't really get at all. I'd rather see Collins in RF and Frelick in CF if you want to get a RHed bat in there. But I guess we're not comfortable with Frelick in RF?
