This will stay with them. And that's good. It should. LA played exceptional baseball. The Brewers played some of their worst. It'll feel like the gap is massive, but the Crew isn't that far away. But it's gonna take some ruthlessness from the F.O. and some spending from the ownership to get them over the hump. -
Yep. Get what you can for him.
-
The payroll advantage doesn't buy wins but it sure gives you a lot more margin for error. It's gonna take 4 damn near perfect baseball games. Always was. Just hope the 9th helps them find a bit of their identity again at the dish.

I was born after 82 so my worst loss list would be as follows: 2018 Game 7 and Saturday's inevitable loss. Game 3 last year given how it went and Ueck's health 2018 NLCS Game 5. Honorable mention: Kotsay in Center
-
When you have a Game 7 loss in a World Series in your franchise history, nothing is gonna be worse than that. I think this would be on par with the 2018 loss.
-
That's the biggest misstep among several from Murphy since game 1 ended. I thought he got over his tendency to overmanage. But even though they won I didn't like the pen game in Game 2. You have the advantage. Line up your starters, pivot to the pen if it goes badly. Tinkering too much, unnecessarily using guys outside of the roles they've succeeded in, that's how you lose momentum. And probably get reverse swept.
-
Yep. Lotta playoff scar tissue. I am expecting the reverse sweep because it would be a new way to crush my spirit in October.
-
Wouldn't have bunted unless there was a pinch runner on second. Chourio can't really run.
-
I forgot how torturous this is. Got spoiled by the first two game.
-
And that it was the same hammy he injured this summer. Every. *******. Year.
-
Lost four games off the lead in the last seven. Trying to be optimistic, but it really seems like they're burning out after an amazing stretch. The amount of close games and high leverage innings the pen has had to absorb have taken a real toll. I hope they can hang on, but I'm not sure I see it.
-
I think it has to do with the way these games have gone down. Kinda reminiscent of past years in the playoffs where they had all sorts of traffic on the bases but couldn't get the big knock. I'll be honest, I'm concerned too. Woody is leaking oil a bit lately. Miz isn't ready for this yet. That pitching depth is starting to wear a bit thin. Double edged sword with this group... Entertaining as hell because they play a lot of close games, but eventually that check comes due when the pen has to cover this many innings. Get one tomorrow and let's get the home cooking going again.

Don't be ungrateful for the summers of entertainment and passion and a way for families to come together that Mark so generously provides.

BA signs extension with TNT
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I imagine Knicks fans probably feel some of this with Mike Breen being the lead for ESPN. But I think this is over the top. BA still gets into the calls when something good happens for the Crew. -
The difference being is the organization is elite at developing pitchers, The track record speaks for itself. Hitting, well, that hasn't been so great with the exception of Chourio. Turang and Frelick can be serviceable contact hitters who are great defenders. Mitchell showed flashes, we'll see what happens with Black.
-
Thanks for the explanation! There's a big space between 110M in payroll and the NY/LAs of the world. I'm not saying I want them to spend like a big market. I was totally okay with them not throwing a ton into this year. You had no idea what you had in the young guys and especially the starting pitching. It was a wonderful surprise and a fun ride. But now, you know these young dudes can play, The depth of pitching is really solid. You CAN compete at the top of the NL. But there are gaps looking forward. Who knows what Yelich will look like post-op. Willy's 32/112 RBI are gone. That run production is gonna have to come from somewhere. And we haven't even gotten to the bench, where you absolutely need to upgrade. My point is if there's a time to stretch some it's now, while the young core are cheap and controllable.
-
I'm in the same boat as you. I'll believe ownership cares when they pony the hell up to build a lineup that can win 4 playoff series. As constructed the Brewers are playing with no margin for error come October. If the pitching or defense falters the bats can't pick them up. You might win a series or two before it falls apart,
-
Disagree. After so many abrupt exits, where their strengths during the regular season end up causing their downfall, I kinda want to see some anger. I wasn't mad last night. Stiff upper lip and all that. Still super bummed this morning... and then I read the quotes. The small market spin was being aired by the manager 15 minutes after the final out. And it pissed me the hell off. To me, that says nothing is going to change. That we're the new Twins of the 2000s. Make the playoffs most years, won't do anything in them, but hey, we're a small market. Accept the October groin kick and be grateful for it.
-
Yep. And once these guys grow up a bit his style is gonna stop working. He is publicly critical of the players when they lose. It's garbage and it's gonna have an expiration date. As a tactician he's the worst I've seen in a long time.

My man! -
Apparently Payamps was all tuckered out after those four pitches...

2024 Divisional Rivals Thread
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
So... The Cubs. 29-18 since their low point on 7/3. Scoring a ton of runs. Not loving this. Still would take a pretty substantial collapse for the Brewers to lose the Central. But I'm not in love with the idea of a neutral site 3-6 matchup. -
Sal's a nice fourth OF to have. But anything more than that... nah. Also really nice strike 2 call on Ortiz. Robot umps, please.
-
It's not the decision to pull Myers. It's the decision to bring Peguero on in a situation where he has failed all year.
-
Pat Murphy is not good at this.
