Yeah, if a guy from the 40MR doesn't get added to the NLDS roster they just go into limbo for the time being. They can get rostered in a subsequent postseason round or not, but there's no need to "assign" them to anything.

I thought Fedde looked pretty good Wednesday at SD, he was locating well and his low 90s fastball wasn't getting torched. I would not be surprised to see him make the NLDS roster and get some innings, even if some of the rehabbing guys make the roster.

No, I was actually referring to Riverfront/GABP, comparing those to what another poster said about PNC.
-
Nice! Riverfront (I can't bring myself to call it by its corporate sponsor name) has also been good that way, usually clears out by end of sixth. So did you give the second ball back to dude in front after you came up with two?
-
Crap, just saw post about Palencia injury. Hard to feel as happy about it now.
-
Cubbie meltdowns are almost as pleasurable as Brewer wins. It is really, really close.
-
Nats put up four on Palencia in 9th featuring three run bomb by former Pirate Josh Bell!!!

I posted after the game and based on my recollection of those two ABs (Yelich and Contreras in fourth with one on). I remembered them as being too passive early in the count. Went back and looked at them just now and they didn't go down quite as I remembered. Yelich swung at two fastballs in the zone and fouled them both off, in between was the splitter in the dirt that moved Chourio up to second. Then, down 1-2, he struck out on a splitter that dipped below the zone. Contreras took one fastball for a high strike, then fouled one off and then whiffed. So I guess I need to amend my complaint: the only approach I can find fault with is Contreras's, and even that is a little picky, the called strike was at top of zone and if he had swung there's a pretty good chance he wouldn't have caught up to it or would have fouled it off. My revised take is that Gausman was really dealing and made Brewers hitters look bad. Tip my hat to Gausman and move on.

This is maybe going to sound picky and ungrateful, but I did not like the passive approaches by Yelich and Contreras after Churio gets on and advances in the fourth. Gausman pitched a great game today, and when the opp pitcher is that on, you have to capitalize on opportunities. Both of them took passive approaches early in the count, let fastballs go by or fouled them off and then looked horrible on the inevitable two strike diving splitter. With a runner on second and nobody out, back to back non-competitive ABs ending in whiffs is a killer. I get that the Brewers approach is to make the opposing pitcher work, drive up pitch counts, but when the guy on the mound is as on as Gausman was, you need to be ready to go early in the AB. Yelich looked more passive, Contreras just couldn't time him up. I am glad Priester was able to keep them in the game after Turang's errant throw led to a run, and happy with the outcome. But for a while I was expecting the top of the fourth to be the story within the story.

I feel a little bit divided on this one. On one hand, success in the postseason involves a lot of good fortune and can easily hinge on one or two things going right or breaking bad. You can certainly have a good or even great season that ends in disappointment. Last year's WC game 3 is a great example: it came down to just one pitch. This team has already vastly exceeded expectations--those of the pundits but also my own--and that alone is reason to feel good about this season, regardless of what October brings. On the other hand, I have been following this team since 1978 and have seen plenty of good teams come and go, and none of the really good ones have ended the season with a win in October. This team has come together unlike any other iteration I've ever seen, and a loss in October to end the season would be a big disappointment.

I am peeking at game via ESPN Gamecast. Really glad I am not watching, looks unbearable.

Great take, thanks for the careful and thoughtful writeup!

Giants (Ray) vs Brewers (TBD): 8/24/25, 1:10pm

Playing the platoon splits, Walker has more success against righties by the tune of about 100 OPS. But in this case I woulda stuck with Durbin, who puts a better swing on heat and is more of a threat to do real damage. Until last week, 2025 was a tale of two seasons for the Brewers. Now it's starting to look like it might be at least three. -

Murph clearly thinks Durbin's growth as a player will be enhanced by sticking with the soft platoon for the time being. I am as frustrated as anyone by Seigler's limitations, but I also understand Murphy's approach. We will see his management of the third base situation a lot differently if, come October, we are looking at a fresh Durbin who is getting back to hitting the ball the way he was in July. -
Well that was a nice finish
-
Lots of self inflicted garbage in this game. Frelick's probably cost them a run, as did Lockridge.
-
Meh, you can hate him during the game, just remember after that it was a game.
-
Way too many backwards Ks in this game
-
Jeez, runner on third with one out, hate to give that away.
-
Crap. And definitely not the guy I was hoping to see take his place if he had to miss extended time.
-
Nope, my bad, was somehow misremembering his outing as Tuesday not Weds.
-
Sounds like a Mizz Rodriguez piggy back on Sunday. Better that than Miss Piggy, I suppose.
