I don't understand why they are unable to post game times for the NLDS and ALDS yet? I understand that the outcomes of the wild card games may determine some of those game times (although, since they know who the home teams are regardless of the WC game results, not sure why that really matters). However, I'm sure they determined the game time already based on different scenarios of wild card results. Why not just share those possible scenarios with the public? For now, based on geography and national interest, I'm going to assume the Brewers/Braves game will be an afternoon game on Friday. Do we really have to wait until after the WC game on Wednesday to get this information?

That was a fun run for the Mariners this year. Jared Kelenic was 2 years behind my son at Waukesha West. My son played baseball at West, but never played with Kelenic as Kelenic chose to play travel baseball instead of playing for West. He played against my son once in a Fall Ball game (I believe Kelenic was in 8th grade at the time playing up for a HS varsity fall ball team). So it's been really fun to follow him this year and the impact he had on the Mariners September charge. We were really rooting hard for them Today.

Devin Williams to IL with hand injury
Patrick425 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Maybe this a sign that they are going to the WS like in 82 when Fingers was injured. -
I've been a Brewers fan since the mid 70s. I've seen a lot of meaningless September Brewers baseball. This final week of games will be some of the most enjoyable meaningless September Brewer games I have ever watched.

I think it's difficult to have a short leash with Peralta. His first inning is clearly his worst inning. 5.33 ERA in the first inning vs. 2.22 in all other innings. Not sure that changes if he comes out of the bullpen. Seems like it takes him an inning to get loose and/or into a rhythm. I'm guessing there is some site that might show this (not sure what site that is), but I would be curious as to what his average fastball velocity is in his first inning vs. all other innings.

Why is Williams in the dugout?
-
I really hope hope Houser was not whining about getting taken out there. He had some bad luck, but he was also not effective.

One collapse that people often point to is the 1969 Cubs (year of the Miracle Mets). Only ranks 13th on the link you provided. However, the crazy thing about that year was that the Cubs had a 7.5 game lead with 41 games to play and not only did they not make the playoffs, they finished 8 games in back of the Mets. So, they actually could have had a 15 game lead at that point and they still would have missed the playoffs. That’s why when I think about potential swings I also consider swings like that one, and ones experienced this August by the Red Sox, Mets, and Padres. Losing 11 games in the standings in the last 23 games, which is what the Brewers would have to do now to avoid winning the division, is extremely unusual, if not completely unprecedented, for a team that is in playoff contention in September. But, falling 7 games or more in the standings with 45-60 games remaining is much less uncommon. The 1995 Angels, who head this list, had an 8.5 game lead with 33 games left. But they lost the division not to the Rangers, who were in second place, but to the Mariners who were 13 games back on August 2 and still 11.5 games back on August 25. I did a little more digging on the 69 Cubs team. They were up by 4.5 games with 24 games to play (Sept. 5th, 1969) and then finished 8 games out. So, they could have had a 12 game lead at that point and still missed the playoffs. They went 6-16 from Sept 6th to the end of the season, Met's went 22-5.

Possibly no one left in this thread, but had to come on line to express my frustration with Bill Schroeder. My appreciation of him has really gone downhill this year. I'm really tired of his desire to eliminate the strike zone box. He states that it somehow shrinks the strike zone....please explain Bill. He's also tired of the umpires being scrutinized every game. They should be! And there is a handful that should be held accountable if their ball/strike calls are constantly proven to be incorrect game after game after game.

I was just glad when Keith Hernandez's name was cleared of that whole sorted mess!
-
ok, well, now looking at the radar it appears it might just be annoying rain the rest of the way. The way it looked before and the way they were projecting it going forward did not look good at all.
-
No, I just am not good at spelling.

I don't understand why the Brewers were not treating this as an extra inning game after the 5th. You don't have to be a weatherman to know that this game is not going to go 9 inning. Will be lucky to get the 7th in. Hauser should have never been back out there. That 3 pitch 5th was great, but it allowed Counsell to make the wrong decision of putting him back out in the 6th.

Interesting thought, but seems like you might as well go full DH if you are going to go this option. Pretty rare that a RP bats (although, I guess one position player would be burned by the original DH - so perhaps more possibility for a RP batting). One of the arguments for having the pitcher bat is that in a one or two run game in the 6th or 7th inning, your starter is pitching well with a relatively low pitch count, a rally going, pitcher's AB comes up - now there is a strategical decision to make that you don't have with the DH. The compromise you suggest would not keep that in place. But it would add the reverse... "If I remove my SP, I lose my DH." That becomes a factor in an interesting way. I dig this idea. It's fun. Ah, yes....did not consider that. I like it!

Looks like Arenado just mouthed "That's twice" sitting alone in the dugout. I think he's going to have nightmares about those ABs tonight.

Playoff tickets / season ticket renewal email
Patrick425 replied to Patrick425's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Just to clarify. When you clicked on "Invoice" it showed you your invoice? When you click on "PDF library" it worked? If so, what was that? I did not have any problems getting to the part that allowed me to renew and purchase playoff tix. Just had an issue with those two links on the initial page. -
DH discussion needs its own thread (which I'm pretty sure has happened more than once on this site). I would not be overly upset if they announced tomorrow that the DH will be added to the NL. However, I don't get the argument that it's bad for baseball, and any argument for the pitcher batting is wrong, end of story. Baseball has was pretty popular in America for many years prior to the DH being instituted. More offense does not make the game more interesting to me and arguments that it takes away offense are not ones that sway my opinion towards the DH. Mitigating pitcher injuries is a better argument.
-
Again, I not a never DH in NL guy, but if Peralta hurt his shoulder swinging the bat, I think it was just a matter of time before he got hurt throwing a baseball. His velocity was down tonight.
-
He probably fouls it off his shin.
-
It was Rock thought it was too close to take, but Rock believes 90% of pitches are strikes no matter where they are.

I received my playoff ticket / renewal email yesterday. It takes you to a link with a video. After you watch or skip the video it's a page with three options: "PDF library", "Invoice", and "Renew". If I click on PDF Library or Invoice it just gives me a blank screen. If I click on Renew it takes me to the log in page for my account. In my account is place to renew my season tickets and purchase playoff tickets - but no invoice (and nothing I could see that explains the perks you get if you opt to pay all up front vs using a payment plan). I've tried different computers and different browsers. Cleared cache / cookies, allowed pop-ups. Still can't get the PDF library or Invoice to work. I contacted my rep about this. He sent me a copy of the invoice and just said he uses Google Chrome (which I usually use as well). I always wondered why you can't view invoices (new and old) on the account web site - so I was really curious about the PDF library option. Anyways, yes, 1st world problems - but just curious if any other season seat holders are experiencing this?
-
His velocity was down. Not sure he threw a fastball greater than 93.
-
I'm not against the DH (could take it or leave it), but we don't know it was because of that swing for certain. Also, why is he taking such a wild hack? We does that a lot and it drives me nuts.
