Lotsa pairs and 3s in Loge Bleachers and Terrace for Games 1 and 3… didn’t check Game 2. Thought they were all sold out!

Still bothered Burnes couldnt go Game 4 in 2021 on short rest only to not pitch the not necessary Game 5. Wasn’t hurt, though.

Yep.. that’s why the “normal” is in quotes. Agreed. But perhaps we say extra rest was given so they can pitch now with less rest between starts. How about suck it up….we need you. We have question marks with Games 3 and 4. Throwing Henderson light (twice thru lineup) in Game 1 could save him a bit for Game 4. And that frees Game 3 up to be more for Gasser/Ray and bullpen. It’s pulling me more lately to flip flop the rotation, especially to get Henderson a possible two games seeing how well he is throwing. Risky, yes. But so is the other way.

I know we all are assuming Miz Game 1 and Henderson Game 2. But how about the other way around? Why? Well, I am not crazy about our starting options on the road, whether it’s Gasser, Ray, and/or bullpen. Pitching Miz Game 1, he isn’t going again until Game 5. He’d have his typical 5 days rest this way. Henderson goes Game 2 and would likely only be available out of the pen maybe for Game 5, if needed. If it’s Henderson Game 1, could he go short rest and pitch Game 4? Then Miz could still go Game 2 and 5 on “normal” 4 day rest. This way our top two pitchers pitch 4/5 of the series. And if we win in 3 or 4, we still could go Miz/Henderson Games 1/2 of the NLCS on regular rest for Henderson and extra rest for Miz. Is this a possibility yet?

How limited?

How in the world COULD a team trade for William this winter NOT KNOWING how much of a season they would be getting him for? Give up good prospects on top of it all? And how could the Brewers trade him when a whole young staff relies upon him? I just can’t see a move coming. He’ll walk ala Adames with his best catching years being played in Milwaukee.

1903 Pirates have overall record of 37 runs scored straight over a span of 7 games, 6 being shoutouts. This year the Cubs scored 30 straight for the modern team record.

Always someone better it seems… But I have gone to three consecutive games at AMFAM where the Brewers have now scored 45 consecutive runs…. 8/6/2026- last 3 runs of game (W 5-2) 8/18/2026- 22 runs (W 22-0) 9/11/2026- 20 runs (W20-0) I’m guessing a few others have had or currently have a better streak going. But I cannot believe it can be much more than that. And if you think about the fact that no other MLB team in history has had two in season games of 20+ run shutouts, I’m feeling pretty good. Even if you incredibly went to three or four consecutive shutouts in a random season, that is likely only 20-30 runs of offense.

Skip a turn... probably overblown a bit. Getting hit hard away vs Cubs/Reds is not that unusual by any pitcher.

Murphy loves Hamilton as much as he despises Black and Yoho.

When finances are a variable in all this, it is one of the most impressive things in sports. LIke a John elway career, this run jumps up to legend status with a WSchampionship.

If Made doesn’t cut it defensively, are we going to keep him? On the other end of the spectrum, we have two great defenders with lighter bats that are regulars in the infield of a 100 win team. And we know defense is highly valued on the infield, especially. Also, I still believe that the Pratt deal is not viewed favorably by Made’s people…..if Pratt is the SS of the present and future, where does Made fit? And if it’s 3B or 2B, who gets traded? And can he actually play well enough there for the Brewers standards defensively? Lots of ifs to go through if he’s worth the hassle. It may be better to look for a trade now that fits our weaknesses better. His perceived value in the league is off the charts now as the best prospect in baseball. You’d think we could get a haul and a half of lessor known minor league targeted arms and bats that our top notch talent evaluators and scouts love……..like writing a blank check to go out and get what we want.

More impressive run than the Dodgers over the last ten years….Dodgers more successful with championships sure, but Goliath should be that good. More impressive when rarely favored early in season and always a middling to bottom third payroll. Besides Indiana’s Cignetti, not sure what is currently more impressive in all of sports. And MA/MA/Murphy might top Cignetti with a World Series Championship. Just the most unexpected thing….almost yearly.

Should be interesting how they play this next stretch out. I’ll be surprised if Crow and Sproat aren’t recalled at some point. Has to happen to keep some of these inning numbers down…and/or start Wilson once or twice.

Keep Bauers? He’s a top 5 in the MVP! He’s gone. Vaughn…I hope they keep him at 10 per next season and bring up a lefty to fill Bauers’ shoes a bit. They have Burke as a prime candidate. Seems almost ideal to have a guy like Vaughn stay in house and have a rookie share some at bats.
