Coming into tonight Brewers relievers were 20th by FIP based WAR (0.7), 14th by runs allowed based WAR (1.0) & 9th in Win Probability Added (+1.67). Their 55 shutdown outings rank 10th among MLB bullpens, while their 33 meltdown outings rank 19th. Only nine bullpens have more wins (13) & only two have fewer losses (6). They've given up most of their runs in low leverage situations & haven't blown very many games they should have won so far, I'd say that's holding up. Counting on continuing to give up your runs in low leverage situations is partly luck based and not really a sustainable strategy. They've stayed really healthy at the back end of the pen and it's still early. The depth will be tested at some point, and high leverage innings will be needed out of lesser relievers once load management becomes more of an issue in the pen. They're also down 2 guys who were part of their success in higher leverage situations. I'd be shocked if they don't make some additions.

Prospective trade deadline targets?

I mean they're in the bottom third of the league in ERA despite Josh Hader. I would say more just not very deep rather than worn out. That I could understand. The worn out part I just don’t see. They’ve done a pretty good job managing innings. No I agree with you on that. I don't quite share Counsell's philosophies on everything but I think he is very aware that load management of our pitchers is going to be absolutely crucial to managing a 162 game season. -
This is a lot better opponent than that Celtics team was. I guess maybe things turn if Harden is out awhile, but that didn't help any today. Budd didn't coach a good game today. That has to change. I agree with everything you said. I'm just not going to get down after one bad loss. Recent history of playoff disappointments is definitely starting to get to me. Starts to be a bit of a "here we go again" feeling.

Middleton seems to either be really good or really bad in the playoffs. Not much in between.

I would not put your house on them going 4-1 in their next 5.

I said this somewhere many pages ago, that getting the 2 was a big deal. That said, this has been such a dud I don't think it would matter where it is. Hopefully this is some Game 1 farting. Really disappointing though. Yeah, it's been a dud for sure. Maybe a different result in Milwaukee though. We'll never know.
-
I don't think the Bucks can beat the Nets in a 7 game series and I don't think the Bucks think they can either.
-
I remember that ugly loss to the Spurs the last week of the season thinking that would come back to bite us. Not having the 2 seed in this series is a big deal.
-
54% from the free throw line and 18% from behind the arc. That isn't going to get you wins in the playoffs against good trams.
-
Mike James has "the no name scrub who will give us fits in this series" written all over him.
-
Such a frustrating game because it does feel like we're better than this team, but we're not showing it today. If we're not competitive in this series I think Bud is in serious jeopardy.
-
Middleton is really playing poorly.
-
On replay I thought it looked pretty clear when they froze the image that there was contact first initiated with 0.1 still shown on the clock.
-
The foul happened at 0.1 therefore the clock stops on the foul and the basket counts. I didn't hear the explanation when I posted that, I still think they got a break on that honestly. I mean it's a big break that Durant fouled him because we would have gotten 0 otherwise. But he clearly did and it was clearly before time expired.
-
I think it can be rationalized by assuming on a shooting foul the foul affects the timing of the shot, so if continuation is given you would time the foul and the shot simultaneously. But I am obviously biased on this one.
-
So even if the shot comes after the buzzer, if the shooting foul occurred prior, the shot is considered off at the same time as the foul. Interesting, never knew that.
-
We get it TNT, Blake Griffin like most NBA players tries to get to loose balls.
-
Not going to be much of a game left by then if they can't start finding the bottom of the net on some of these.
-
Really sloppy pass.
-
Make. A. Shot.
-
Jrue misses both free throws, the 2nd miss bounces back to him and he misses again.
-
15% from 3 isn't going to cut the mustard against Brooklyn. Need some of these jumpers to start falling. We'd be in pretty good shape.
-
I'm not sure how we're winning. That was not a great quarter.
