BA would be so great. Probably the 2nd best option I could ever think of calling a Brewers post-season game...

Yeah, I was just talking to a friend who said that. He didn't understand the decision to switch it up and go with Ashby(or didn't agree rather) and he'd have let Mis and then Patrick go... and yet, 7-3.

I wonder if they let him have Tucker? He's faced 3, might as well have him face Tucker with Uribe ready... no?

Yeah... I remember we had the highest average FB velo in the Stat Cast era in that game... I'm thrilled with how Mis threw the ball... but he still makes me nervous as hell!

What a play by Vaughn and Koenig!

Again, it seems like he's more just "rooting" for a close finish, but... it's still annoying. On the other hand, that 100MPH heater from Koenig is not annoying.

I don't know that he's even "pro-Cubs," but he's rooting for the Cubs to come back right now. I'd be inclined to think that's due to him wanting good Baseball, but it's still annoying.

I hear ya... but sometimes people aren't... exactly genuine about their opinions. I've been on both sides of "The board." But in that ONE case... he's a clown. But I don't think he should be banned or anything. Hell, the Brewers take care of business and we won't see him again until.... next year(probably a new name).

Man... if Turang can come through here, you would have the luxury of going with Patrick the rest of the way.

Oh... my bad, I thought we played Game2 and 3 on back to back days...

You didn't see the whole thing then... they went out and put him on one of those body bag like stretchers to get him the rest of the way off the field. He may lose the leg.

He has... and he's even better out of the pen. Don't agree with taking Miz out there(espcially as I'd like to see Patrick available for tomorrow). On another note, I've NEVER been someone who says "___ announcer doesn't like the Brewers," or any of my teams, but it seems so blatant that Darling is rooting for the Cubs to shut down the Brewers AND score here...

No, you really didn't. They were bad opinions. Consistently wrong... on everything. A month ago, the Brewers weren't even going to be playing past the WC round, tonight... the series was over. He's just trolling.

Uribe more than Megill... but it's still just a 4 run game. I'm feeling good, but not quite at the "lets make sure we get___ innings," point just yet. Of course those are the two best high leverage arm we've got, so it's not like you're suggesting Gasser.

I'm really not seeing why we do anything until he gets tired or loses it... It feels like it's deeper than the bottom of 5 right now, but... you get to the 6th with Mis and still have Koenig ready for Bush or the 7th... maybe Miz just keeps on hitting his spots and he carries you deeper. IDK, but I'm not messing with what's working. This is the type of performance the Brewers desperately needed in one game with Woodruff on the shelf. The kid is coming through. Chourio and Mis, just a glimpse of what's to come...

I really don't see a reason to take Miz out. He's dealing. He's gonna be burned for tomorrow and I wouldn't really trust him on another night. It's kinda all or nothing with him. But when he's got that release point, he's unhittable. You have a LITTLE margin for error. Not much, but... maybe we'll add an insurance run or two here.

No, THAT Frelick catch was perfect! (They were both perfect).

I'm sticking with Mis until he walks someone else... unless it's with 2 outs, then I'd give him a walk and another hitter. If he gets on a roll... that's MASSIVE.

LOL!!! DAMN RIGHT!

That kinda makes it sound as if he's going to be a LF in the AZFL and then they'll gauge his positional versatility moving forward, but with who we have ahead of him in the OF... my takeaway from that is he's going to be a utility player. A guy who can play SS/LF... presumably RF and I wouldn't be surprised if he plays some SS/3B if there's a chance to get him some reps there in the future. Clearly neither are his future position, but he could really be a super-utility player for us. This team is going to have SO much talent coming up the next 2-3 years. OF-Chourio, Perkins, Frelick, Collins(A ROY candidate who is behind 3 OFers on the roster who are better players and have at least 4 years of team control left). Prospects= Pena(potential CFer with his 70 speed and Turang at 2B), Payne(1 year at A+, AA, AAA), Black-Don't think he'll be around, but he can play LF, Luis Lara-another elite defender and a guy who should hit for a high average, steal bases... though limited SLG). 1B/3B-Durbin is pretty much it looking down the road. Prospects 3B-Fischer, Boeve, Wilkin, Adams, Made(?) 1B-Burke, Bitonti, Black...the 4 players from above SS-Ortiz(I believe he'll settle in more as a .730-.750 type hitter with a plus glove, but that it also won't matter). Pratt, Made, Pena 2B-Turang Again, a lot of repeats here, but Pena, Made seem like the most obvious C-Contreras will be gone, so...in so much as there is a "need" it's here Prospects- Quero's got the floor of a very good defensive C who carries a ~680 OPS, upside is GG catcher and a .780 OPS with ~15 HRs and 25 2B. Dinges-Elite arm, great bat. I think this most likely ends up as a good balance for Quero DH-Yelich And then... we need 3 of the 1B/3B to hit or Dinges could be among them. Hopefully it'll be Burke as he just looks like an outstanding pure hitter but a pretty questionable fielder. Also, a nice LHed bat. Adams is pretty athletic, but so is Yelich Utility-Adamczewski-2B/LF/DH and if everyone else is lining up or at least every other position(we all know there will be several guys who flame out) but I think based on how he's played 2B, he could be a... passable 3B/SS in a utility role. It's already a little off-topic for just the AZFL or Adamczewski, but looking at this collection of talent that a lot of fans who aren't on sites like this or nerding out on prospects, it's why they didn't care about what the cost was, they just wanted to get Suarez, but this is like the '82 team, but you've got Yount, Molitor and... Cooper all on their way up or just starting rather than in their prime. A 2028 lineup *COULD* look like (lefties in italics, Switch Hitters underlined) 1-CF Luis Pena 2-2B Turang 3-LF Chourio 4-3B Made 5-DH-Yelich 6-1B-Fischer 7-SS Pratt 8-RF Frelick 9-C Quero Bench-Durbin 3B/2B, Adamczewski 2B/OF/3B/SS, Adams-1B/3B/LF, Burke 1B/DH, Collins 2B/LF/RF, Lara-CF, Perkins CF... and Joey Ortiz if he's still around, 3B, SS, 2B. Clearly we're not going to have 15 position players, and guys like Perkins will likely be dealt or non-tendered by now as Lara should be able to provide everything he does but cheaper. I think Pena, Turang, Chourio, Made, Pratt, Frelick could be GG caliber defenders. Turang, Pratt 15-20 HRs, Chourio, Made, Fischer 25-40(or more for Chourio) .280+ hitters 1-4, Fischer, Frelick And you're REALLY protected against injury with all the versatility not just in terms of finding a capable hitter, but in the field. Pratt struggles, you have Made to slide over and several 3B options... like Durbin. Turang gets banged up, Pena plays 2B...or Adamczewski and Lara plays CF or Chourio plays CF and you have several guys who can play LF... like Adamczewski. The Golden Age of Milwaukee Baseball. Brewers get their first in franchise History this year and then in the next couple years, they won't be able to say they're a team of "every day Joes." It's a Jesus Made type team!

I really thought they should have gotten Uribe in Gm1. He's the type of guy who is so emotional... in the best way, but I would have liked his first outing to be in a 6 run game. Megill... I was encouraged by his outing on the last day, but I'm still nervous about him. He's also an emotional guy, but he seems a bit more mature. I trust him in a high leverage spot without getting an inning, it's just the elbow.

What clip? This presumably from today just doing some work? I pulled mine good once in College just screwing around before the season started playing intramural flag Football and my entire leg was black and blue. Treatment 3X a day, rest, rehab, stretching, treatment, stretching... and then as soon as it felt good again... it'd go. So I guess you must just get really good at feeling when it's tight and you have a very minor pull, but he looked good hauling down to 1B and he didn't grab it or anything(that was another thing, I felt like I'd been shot in the leg and went down). Vs a lefty, really hope he's good! He's one of the guys who can hit a pitchers best pitches. Those guys are rare. Most guys on this team hit mistakes... and that's the case with most good hitters. Chourio, when he's locked in, he can rifle it to RF, he can drill it to CF, he can hit it anywhere.

I'd like this even more if we had Hall on the roster... but I'm still good with it. What is up with Hall though? He was supposed to be ahead of a couple of the injured pitchers and they were going to see where Henderson and Hall were at, but... I never really heard an update.
