    Got out of the ump-assisted jam scoreless, thankfully.
  2. ReverendBrewmeister
    Complete two-out rally for all three runs. Gotta love that ability to get runs across from nothing. Seems to be something happening more this season than in past years.
  3. ReverendBrewmeister
    Well, it's an 8 inning game now.
  4. ReverendBrewmeister
    VAUGHN!!!!!!! That's how you fight back!
  5. ReverendBrewmeister
    Set up for Vaughn against the lefty. Need some clutch two-out RBIs.
  6. ReverendBrewmeister
    9 innings of offense available. But getting burned by a Cubs homer with two men on base hurts. Feels like an answer with at least a run in the bottom of the 1st is necessary.
  7. ReverendBrewmeister
    That is the Ashby start that needed to be avoided.
  8. ReverendBrewmeister
    That is some pleasantly surprising news about Chourio.
  9. ReverendBrewmeister
    Chourio not playing tonight would be my assumption also. Sitting him for Game 2 and then evaluating after another day off before Game 3 can make sense. Being up 1-0 in the series makes playing Game 2 short-handed on the bench a risk that the team is willing to take, if there is a significant possibility that Chourio could be healthy enough to play later in the NLDS or in the NLCS. That math would change depending on the results of Game 2, as well as what is learned about Chourio's health: If the Brewers win Game 2, they could go the rest of the NLDS carrying Chourio on the bench, essentially playing with a 24-man roster. If the Brewers lose Game 2, they probably need to replace Chourio to try to ensure advancing to the NLCS, though it would make him ineligible for that series.

    One aspect of playoff bullpen usage that isn't considered as much in the regular season is seeing pitchers multiple times. It's a topic brought up on podcasts and other discussions about playoff baseball. In the regular season, a reliever might typically face the same team twice in a three game series, maybe three times in a four game series. The question arises whether seeing a reliever with frequency in a five game or seven game series might give batters just a little bit more of an advantage than typical in the regular season. How much of an advantage is unknown, likely dependent on the skills of both the batter and pitcher. If any advantage is gained by seeing pitchers multiple times, then not showing any of their top tier relievers in Game 1 might have been beneficial--even slightly--to the Cubs. The Brewers gave the Cubs a look at Ashby for just one batter in the 6th (Crow-Armstrong) and the 7th (Swanson, Shaw, Busch) and Koenig for the 8th (Hoerner, Tucker, Suzuki, Happ). That wasn't much, but could the game have been finished without bringing in any of the Brewers "A Bullpen"? Maybe it won't amount to anything, but the thought crossed my mind.

    Always big to get a Game 1 win in a five-gamer. Peralta did the #1 Starter job today. Offense scored early and often, but then almost ran away to hide. Gave up three homers, but they were all solo shots; two of them with the big lead. Can't ask for much more, though the Chourio injury does cast a bit of a pall over the day.
  12. ReverendBrewmeister
    The Brewers offense going nearly dormant for their last five offensive innings lends to that feeling of weirdness.
  13. ReverendBrewmeister
    Civale is saving the rest of the Cubs bullpen with that performance so far.
  14. ReverendBrewmeister
    Being able to finish the game out without giving the Cubs any bonus looks at the top tier relievers could be helpful for the remainder of the series. Could use a few more tack-on runs in the 6th inning to put the game well out of reach.
  15. ReverendBrewmeister
    Seems like getting 17 outs is the cap for Brewers pitchers in the playoffs. Would've liked a full six innings, but a good start from Peralta.
  16. ReverendBrewmeister
    Another zero for Peralta. One walk and three strikeouts in the 5th.
  17. ReverendBrewmeister
    Certainly hate to lose Chourio for any extended time in the playoffs, if that's what turns out to be the case with the injury. The vibes are bad. It's another of those post-season experiences for the Brewers. But this same team did go on a heater immediately after Chourio's injury at the end of July and had a solid month of baseball when he was on the IL. Maybe they can do so again.
  18. ReverendBrewmeister
    Got another scoreless inning from Peralta. With the big lead it could be a chance to get an extended start out of him, if he is a bit more efficient and limits the walks.

  20. ReverendBrewmeister
    Some of the Brewers podcasters were talking about that topic earlier this week. Apparently a replacement on the roster in the Division Series makes that player ineligible for the League Championship Series, but could return for the World Series.
  21. ReverendBrewmeister
    Turang can't come up with the big 2-out hit again. Two K's in that spot. About the only complaint with offensive performance so far. (Chourio injury is another matter.)
  22. ReverendBrewmeister
    Look at those batting eyes on Ortiz. Another walk.
  23. ReverendBrewmeister
    Durbin with a fine piece of 2025 Brewers hitting. More runs.
  24. ReverendBrewmeister
    Time to hang another crooked number.
  25. ReverendBrewmeister
    That's fairly tidy from Freddy. Will do just fine.
