2025 Magic Number Thread
ReverendBrewmeister replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
A couple Brewers shortstops: -
The Frelick and Turang increase in power hitting has been a big boost to the offense this year.
-
Good inning with a cluster of runs to take the lead late in the game. Seems like the pattern of a good number of wins this season. Just need the shutdown relievers to hold the lead.

Ah, but is it Payamps proof?
-
Some good plate appearances in the 8th so far. Hang a big crooked number on the scoreboard and let Patrick finish it.
-
Squandered a chance to gain a game on Philadelphia.
-
Big FOX field crew not used to the Gatorade baths.
-
Durbin comes through! Big double.
-
Managed to do that after the mess to start the inning. If Bauers could park one......
-
Uribe with a Devin Williams impersonation to start. Basically need to strike out the side from bases loaded now.
-
Couldn't get the winning hit. On to extras. Need a dominant Uribe for the 10th.
-
Death by a thousand cuts here late in the game. Tons of small ball.
-
Chance for Turang to walk this off with a homer. Need at least to get the game tied.
-
Only got the smallest of crooked numbers after all that. Still a chance in the 9th. Gotta get the shutdown inning first.
-
Single and two walks loads them up for Contreras. Must have the big inning here in the 8th.

Concerning the #1 seed issue, I think the difference this year would potentially having home field advantage against Philadelphia for an NLCS might be significant. As expected, all of the NL playoff teams have better home records than road records. But the drop-off from home to away is much more pronounced for all the other NL contenders than for the Brewers, who have the best road record of all of them. That said, I'd much rather play a deciding game in American Family Field than Citizens Bank Park, which is a zoo in the playoffs. Concerning the last bit, it might be nothing that the team hasn't been playing well recently. But it does conjure up a few 2021 vibes where the team sort of stumbled toward the regular season finish line and couldn't get it in gear for the NLDS against Atlanta. Still a few series left to avoid that, but it would be good to see more than just a couple sparks of a better finish.

Cardinals pitching and defense opening up the door a little. Need to capitalize.

Miz hasn’t been good since the All Star Break. Yes, he had a good start at Pittsburgh last Sunday. But the numbers against more quality lineups (CIN, CHC, AZ, PHI) have been just good enough to keep a starting spot, but hardly a playoff rotation spot. Going into tonight’s game, he has the following stat line: 7 GS, 29.1 IP, 24 H, 17 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 44 SO. That’s a 5.22 ERA and a 1.261 WHIP. Remove that 7 IP, 3H, and 1 ER performance against the Pirates, and those numbers get much worse. Tonight doesn’t help either. It looks like Miz may have maxed out where he can be for 2025 against average to above average major league hitters. Perhaps he’s needed to fill out the rotation for a game against the Angels, but the Padres will likely be tough along with a Reds team possibly chasing the playoffs.

Win #90 secured. Good start to the home stand.
-
Yelich homer. Just what the doctor ordered.
-
Ashby managed to wriggle out of that with no runs, but not putting away batters with two strikes made it more difficult.
-
Huge at bat for Frelick with bases loaded and two outs.
-
The tradeoff of defense for offense between Perkins and Chourio is significant, but have to live with it to get the bat in the lineup.
