Cubs, though I hate the thought of them eliminating the Brewers, but i want NO part of the Padres with the way they are playing and that bullpen. Nope, no thanks.

In a perfect world, the Crew somehow wins 2 of three in this series, the Dodgers lose two of three to the Padres, Brewers wrap up everything before the weekend and can do whatever the hell they want against the Cardinals then.

I never said that either. But I'm not good with Gasser I know that. Every freaking pitch he throws I feel like it's ripe to get hit out and at the absolute worst times too. It's not like he's lock down or anything(Though I'd love for him to prove me wrong). That's who I really wish they had for a game #3 starter, a lock down guy.

Yep, I wouldn't trust him either. He really fell off towards the end of the year.

Remember Gasser in last year's playoffs? If he's the game three starter and the Brewers are up 2-0 that series is going at least to a 4th game. Look, I'm not here to defend May by any stretch, but I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable with Gasser starting a game either. I'd rather start DL Hall, or Ashby.

So you think Miz and Henderson will only go 4-5 innings? I'd take Huge odds they will go deeper than that. What say you?

My freaking point is, by the time you get to the bullpen with him, you are likely already down 3 or 4 to nothing(after 3) and at that point you are just wasting the bullpen.

I'm not so sure the Dodgers from last year would agree with that, do you?

Sure he hasn't been good, but he can at least miss bats. Gasser, not so much. He literally has to be PERFECT with almost every pitch he throws. You can't live like that, especially the playoffs.

You also don't want your starters getting shelled(and he probably would). You also don't want to be using 3-4 bullpen arms every game either.

That's so gross. He has never given me confidence. He's a soft tosser, that's fine against lefties I suppose, but not against righties. He will cruise and then gives up a bomb at the worst time. He's a one time thru the order pitcher. That's not going to cut it. Imagine a 5 game series, Brewers win the first two, and then Gasser takes the hill to try for the sweep. Yeah I pretty much know how that's going to turn out..great thru 3 innings. In the 4th a Walk, a base hit, a bomb...ballgame, see you in game 4.

Who the hell else should it be? There are no good options.

Nope!! I can keep teaching you things if you want, but I at least hope you'll now understand that challenges do NOT cost ballgames(that doesn't take away from them being dumb challenges). How about this? How about the ump not miss obvious strikes and it's irrelevant anyway.

I'm right here, and it did NOT cost them the game. That would have only been two outs, Kelly still doubles next AB and it scores 1 instead of two. Brewers still trailing ta that point. Any questions?
