    Tradionally managed baseball games still require runs to win, and we haven’t been scoring any. I don’t think it shows any lack of confidence or incompetence. It’s nothing more than trying to get a better matchup out of the gate against their two best hitters. Quintana will probably start tonight, and they’ll probably go the more traditional route, but more because he happens to be lefty.

    Man it’s crazy that Mitchell is 27.

    So his next step is to see Christian Watson’s hamstring doctor who can help redirect his ailments to his ACL.

    One thing that really surprised me is how much they pushed Miz this year and how much he responded late. 142 innings (minors plus majors, including playoffs) was a huge increase for him, I think 98 was his last year. So he’s definitely a big part of their plans in 2026 and I’m sure they plan to stretch him out further. I sadly don’t expect Woodruff back, but hope to be wrong. Peralta could go either way, I can see a trade if the offer is right or I can see him staying for his last year. Quintana being back would be nice. There will be probably be some veteran scrap heap/reclamation project regardless like him, Miley, etc.

    We need a shortstop, I really do believe that. Ortiz just isn’t it and Made just is too far away. We need like a 2 year stopgap. The needs aren’t much besides that, depending on what happens with Peralta and maybe Woodruff. I’m excited to see if Quero makes the big league roster next year.

    No matter what happens tomorrow, this years playoff was better than hearing a heartbroken Uek call the 9th inning of Game 3 of last years’ Wild Card. As a matter of personal pride, I hope we can at least win a game tomorrow and not get swept.

    Can’t believe how much this series swung when Brice got out of the way. It’d likely be 2-1 even with everything gone wrong with a chance to even it up tomorrow and guarantee Game 6.

    As it turns out the MLB ranking of us at #4 of the final 4 teams was more just an accurate ranking of the final 4 teams rather than a disrespectful slight.

    Yeah I mean, I guess it depends on the long-term risks. He’s got 6 months to recover soon, regardless .

    Hard to say. I didn’t honestly think after Game 1 of the NLDS that we’d see him again til 2026.
  11. adambr2
    I’m disappointed that it hasn’t been a competitive series. I didn’t think the odds of winning were great, but I thought we could maybe push it to 6. Still could, but it looks like a sweep or gentleman’s sweep incoming. I really am disappointed that the “Brewers will get swept” narrative looks like to be coming to fruition.

    The 21 year old hitter and 23 year old pitcher were the best players on our team in October. Experience isn’t everything.
  13. adambr2
    Or whatever treats the quivering lip that results from seeing the Cubs’ ripped on.
  14. adambr2
    Honestly, we rode him harder this year than I ever thought we would. 141+ innings between AAA and MLB including postseason. Huge step up.
  15. adambr2
    Well I would venture to say it’s a must win.
  16. adambr2
    Toronto is getting back in their series. I don’t know why that makes it hurt worse, but it does.
  17. adambr2
    I think he gave us 7 once in September.
  18. adambr2
    I get the idea behind the opener, it just wasn’t particularly successful. I thought Koenig might be a consideration. Miz gained a lot of really fantastic experience in October that should serve him well going forward. He’s going to be our number 2 at worst next year.
  19. adambr2
    I hope we can at least build on this for the future. We’ll be back — this has been massively disappointing — pulling out Game 5 against the Cubs was a step though, and felt good. Hopefully we can take another next year.
  20. adambr2
    Yeah, that’s brutal for sure. I’m just not sure much would have changed no matter how much you mixed and matched the lineup.
  21. adambr2
    My only criticism of Murphy — quit with this “underdog” and “average Joe’s” crap. It comes off as disparaging to your own players more than anything else. Yes, you’re a scrappy underdog. We get it. You won 97 games. Act like it.
  22. adambr2
    I feel it bears repeating — we have scored 1 run every game. Woodruff would have been nice, but he can’t help this offense. The series would still be 3-0.
  23. adambr2
    Can you elaborate? I’m not saying you’re totally wrong but playoff baseball is a little different, you kind of have to play things a little differently. I felt that he actually played things fairly the same, still valued defense and speed and was reluctant to take bigger swings offensively. To me it felt like the real problem was that we didn’t swing the bats at all and there’s not much else to it.
  24. adambr2
    The Dodgers have scored 3.3 runs per game in this series. If you had told me that, I would have liked our chances and definitely wouldn’t have expected us to be down 3-0. This is, purely, on the ineptitude of the lineup. I don’t want to hear about the pitching choices. They did their job other than Tuesday. This lineup did not, any day. 1 run per game. That will not win.
  25. adambr2
    Murphy will never do it, but Yelich should be benched for Game 4. Not that it will matter.
