Sir they literally lead the #2 team in Major League Baseball by 5.5 games
-
At least we aren’t the only ones who had a tough time solving the Giants in this last week. Nice performance by Justin Verlander tonight. He struck out PCA, and fun fact, has also struck out Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr, Craig Biggio, Gary Sheffield.
-
For all the crap he gets, Freddy Peralta is the closest thing this staff has to a workhorse. He checked it just short of 175 IP last year and should finish around the same this year.
-
You’re comparing across two very different eras, though. Nobody, absolutely nobody is throwing 270 innings a year anymore, or even close to it, on the Brewers or anyone else. Usage patterns have totally changed. Even if Dave Stewart were playing today, he wouldn’t be used that way. The workhorse starter is basically dead. There’s only a very small handful left even crossing 200.
-
Yeah, the reliever win is so random and bizarre. Ok, if you’re a starter you can’t win if you recorded 14 outs to start the game and left with a huge lead even though you got the majority of team outs? So some reliever who takes over is randomly assigned the win. Or maybe you pitched well like Miller did tonight and your team walked it off. Or maybe you pitched poorly and blew a save and then your team walked it off. The reliever win doesn’t know and doesn’t care.

Not that there is anything wrong with this comment but I often wonder if any pitcher gives a crap about their W/L record anymore. It’s so antiquated I’m surprised they even still track it as an official stat, except I guess for the purposes of tradition and a fun talking point for the likes of guys like Peralta and Skenes.

I kind of see Melvin’s point a little, it’s a little unbalanced, our rosters from 26-40 were not the same as a team like the Dodgers with tremendous resources and depth, it really kind of changed the whole playing field in September compared to April-August baseball. Nonetheless, 28 is too restrictive.
-
40 was too many. 28 is not enough. I don’t know why they went from one extreme to the other. I miss being able to see some young players get their feet wet in September, most contenders just don’t have that luxury anymore with the 28 limit. I’d like to see 30-32.

Huge spots in the 8th and 9th. Both getting Marte to strand the go-ahead runs in the 8th, and getting out of the leadoff single+misplay by Sal to put the lead runner at 2nd to start the 9th, were crucial to both getting out of here with a win and not burning more of the pen.
-
I’m not known as Mr. Positivity around here and I often come to the defense of GTs being a sacred ground where a lot of different ranges of instant emotional reactions should be expected and welcomed, and I thought some of the reactions tonight were wayyyy over the top. I'm not convinced that some of the newer posters aren’t just other teams’ fans trolling, however.
-
I don’t think I’ve ever had such a feeling of relief after an August regular season game before.
-
Frelick has had a 9th to forget.
-
Someone in the heart of the Brewer lineup needs to step up and walk this thing off in this inning. The last thing this pitching staff can afford right now is a 12 inning marathon.
-
I cannot believe that Mona got that out.
-
Big out. Gotta keep that 9th run off the board.
-
Awesome job, Sal. Really, masterful glove work.
-
That was not the offensive output that we needed in the 8th.
-
Right, but 34 pitches, especially when he’s been hit hard, is too long to leave him hanging.
-
That was a really, really good job by Miller with a really, really tough hitter and the game probably on the line.
-
That last one is on Murphy. I know he got the 2 K’s, but just stuck with Koenig way, way too long.
-
12 posts has been plenty to see that you aren’t a Brewer fan.
-
Go cry, Alexander. That had plenty of the plate.
-
My gosh, Koenig. Just awful.
-
Who you going to have close? Uribe can’t pitch every night.
