Alvarez catching. Get on base and create havoc!

Hope you are right. The way the Brewers have talked about Mears and they situations they have used him in at times in the regular season does not match this line of thought. I never thought they would use Winker in a clutch situation in the playoffs last year.......

Completely agree.

Not happy about Mears being on the roster. Not sure what the Brewers see in him, but it seems like they really like him for some reason and I'm worried they are going to use him in some high leverage situation. Would be more than happy to eat my words if he shines.

Don't think that's a fair comparison. NFL playoffs are all elimination games and Fiserv has less than half the capacity of AmFam (also NBA tends to lend itself to corporate entertainment more than MLB does).

Considering how many Mets fans were at the weekend series, I'm a bit surprised that tickets are not going for at least a little closer to original cost. Agree with owbc regarding Brewer fan playoff "fatigue". Same thing started happening to the 90's Braves.

I found it a bit surprising that both teams had champagne celebrations and did interviews after the 2nd game yesterday. I get that its a long season and the players want to enjoy the accomplishment of making the playoffs. But priorities. More important to be as well rested as possible. I don't think a team like the Yankees or Dodgers would have done that in that situation.

Fantastic 😐

R.I.P. Pete. Just read "Charlie Hustle" a few weeks ago. I recommend it. Whether you were a fan or not, can't argue that he wasn't entertaining.

There is actually a time out there for the Thursday game as well if necessary (on MLB.com).

FYI- in case anyone is wondering about game times. I found this (and it appears to line up with the guide I see on Spectrum Cable). Does not show which teams are playing in each slot, but shows the time / network for each game. Was really hoping for night games. Not looking like that is a good possibility for Tuesday (if this info is correct) https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/mlb-playoff-schedule-2024-bracket-dates-times-tv-channels/a16b8921796b3a68f794ff80 MLB playoff schedule, results 2024 Wild Card Series schedule Tuesday, Oct. 1 Game Time (ET) TV/Live stream Game 1: TBD 1 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 1: TBD 2 p.m. ABC, Fubo Game 1: TBD 4 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 1: TBD 8 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Wednesday, Oct. 2 Game Time (ET) TV/Live stream Game 2: TBD 4 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 2: TBD 7 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 2: TBD 7 p.m. ESPN2, Fubo Game 2: TBD 10 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Thursday, Oct. 3 Game Time (ET) TV/Live stream Game 3*: TBD 2 p.m. ABC, Fubo Game 3*: TBD 4 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 3*: TBD 7 p.m. ESPN, Fubo Game 3*: TBD 10 p.m. ESPN, Fubo

Actually, I think the commissioner would just step in and say that, in the best interest of the baseball, forfeits are not allowed for these games.

Wow... that was like a walk off defensive play!

Maile just balked there. Cmon umps!

Someone inform B.A. that Real Chili in Milwaukee is similar to Skyline in Cincy. Spaghetti noodle base.

The "Bringing a fruit platter to a party as an adult takes on a whole new meaning" ad has to be one of the dumbest commercials. When does a child ever bring a fruit platter to a party?

Koenig or anybody else. Don't understand how much they like Mears. Not seeing it.

Then why activate him today?? Seems likes a wasted roster spot.

I missed the pre game. Megill was activated today right? Is Williams hurt again or something? How is Mears the best option in the 8th of a 3-0 game with those guys available?

Hard to fault Murph and the job he has done with this team, but I'm not getting how often he has chosen to use Mears in close games. Brewers had the day off yesterday, right?

Seems like whenever there is renegotiating of the bargaining agreement players like to view it as one big pie that they never get enough of. I have a problem with more than one. And...I don't really have a "problem" with the pay...its the constant position that the owners are the greedy ones. Everyone seems to be making plenty of money. Owners and players. Sorry, didn't mean to steer the topic off course. Last I'll say about it in this thread.

Explain how it works then. You can be crappy at your job, make $14M in guaranteed money and still complain that the owners are taking advantage of you?

I understood that the Brewers did not have to pay Montas the full $14M. I just don't understand how he got that contract in the 1st place based on his past performance. Players have zero ground to complain any more that they are not getting their fair share of the pie.

Hope he pitches well, but $20M?? I hope they don't think about that at all. Has not done anything so far to deserve that kind of money and two months of good pitching does not change that. He's not worth the $14M he is currently making.
