Marlins back up 6-5 -
5-5 now.
-
Yeah, that was supposed to be a joke, but your thoughts are pretty rational. Unfortunately the Brewers probably need some pretty miraculous recoveries by the division series.
-
Yep. They've got a few games to try to break out. Chourio is pressing but he's not that far from a break out imo. No idea if any of the rest of these guys will hit again this year.
-
Are we 100% sure that the Brewers and Phillies actually want to win the #1 seed?
-
Just use the ignore button. Put him in the ether.
-
So can't say I predicted first inning grand slam but not surprised to see that Zimmerman isn't competitive at the MLB level. Not really upset with the Brewers for starting him because they're in a bad way right now. Just frustrating.
-
Maybe. I'm old. I've seen enough goat rodeos with the Brewers over the last 50 years to prefer they get every advantage it's humanly possible to get.
-
Pretty much agree. I'd be completely cool with that if they'd clinched the #1 spot already.
-
I am not confident tonight.
-
well I gave it a shot but I'm not catching the end of this one... Go Brewers!
-
Yeah. He's 21. It'll come. Sure would have been nice to see this year though.
-
That was awful. And unsurprising.
-
At this point I hope Ortiz gets hot so the people convinced they're the only ones who realize how bad his bat is can eat it.
-
Had to hit the ignore button again tonight. *sigh
-
Yeah, none of that is actually responsive to your assertion that his hits came when games were decided. No one said Ortiz is a great offensive player. Scroll up and read instead of creating straw man arguments. Bye.
-
Especially when they follow it up by giving up hits. Although to be fair, Mears got squeezed on the first of those walks.
-
I wouldn't let Yuni play SS on a rec softball league.
-
Man, that sure looked like a strike.
-
I mean, I'm a casual fan, but that first sentence.... do you have stats to back that up that his hits are in games that were already decided? As for the latter, over large samples "clutch" doesn't exist. The playoffs don't permit large samples; I'll give you that. I happen to accept as likely true that in the playoffs players have to figure out how to relax enough to let their talent play and if they can't/don't then they're less likely to play to their talent. Ortiz is a limited hitter. I suspect he won't be great at the plate in the playoffs. We agree on that. But there is no one else for them to play at SS who provides a net improvement over him. It is, as they say, what it is at this point. And anyway, his sample of ineptitude with the bases loaded is big enough that regression is going to occur at some point and probably soon if those chances keep coming. Why not the first week of October? lol
-
I agree on 2026. I'm not sure they do though.
-
I don't think anything changed. They're a small market team. The front office didn't give him anyone else better (and no, Mona isn't better than Ortiz). So he played him because he's a plus defender and the only other SS on the roster who can play the position as well is playing 2B and experienced shoulder soreness when he played SS earlier this year. I don't think Murphy had much in the way of viable alternatives. Front office is worthy of criticism for not addressing the position but I don't think Murphy is for using him.
-
It's not deceiving at all. It's data. You can say you're unpersuaded by it and that's fine. But you can't rationally point at facts say their "of course deceiving" because he "seems" to be a guy who will fail in the playoffs. I don't have a problem with wishing they had someone at SS who could hit for power and take more walks but that doesn't mean his actual results aren't real.
