Sheesh Buehler is on. We are fortunate to have the one run.
-
I know they don't like doing it, but definitely the right call to IBB Hernandez to get to Buehler. Keeping every run off the board at all costs is key againt Buehler, and there just isn't a hole in this Dodger lineup 1-8. Grandal's a hole. He had a .815 regular season OPS. He's a good hitter.

Puig was bound to get going eventually.

We got a run and Buehler threw 20+ pitches. I'll take that.

I'm sorry, I know Uecker is an icon, and he is still great to listen to, but for actually trying to follow the game, it is brutal. He said "high and in" on the 0-2 pitch to Shaw as I heard the crowd roar and knew he was mistaken.

Winning today comes first yes but if that starts to look unlikely tomorrow becomes the priority. Somehow, have to win one of the next 2. Cannot go down 3-1. If you can just go into Wednesday at 2-2 you're in a decent spot. So if L.A. gets up 3-4 runs early on, you'd probably need to ask Chacin to eat what he can and get at least 3 from Peralta.

Adding and deleting pitching
adambr2 replied to ebmackenzie's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Any time you need to outlet like reading to calm yourself, I consider that a baseball mental health issue. Either way, your post was rude and we can agree to disagree because I really have no need to further post back to you. Thames has openly talked about being extremely hard on himself mentally, and that he's his own worst enemy at times. It's not a secret, it's not false, and I think it would make success for him in New York nearly impossible. Don't think he has much trade value right now, like none maybe... Gray doesn't really either. He's a nice reclamation project but still won't be that cheap in arbitration to the point where I'm not sure if he really has any surplus value at all. Point taken that New York may not be the best fit for Thames, though. -
I don't know, why are you destined to be negative? Destined to suck? Best record in NL, celebrated in the Cardinals locker room, beat the Cubs and celebrated there. Swept the Rockies and now even 1-1 in the NLCS. You really cant just sit back and enjoy that? By the way, even if they DO drop 2/3 in LA I'm fine with that. Win two games at home yo make it the WS? Yea, I'll take it. I think you misunderstood his message. It was anything but negative.

Not sure this really fits for either team to be honest. For Goldy you're talking a one year rental, so you're definitely all-in on 2020 and likely losing him after. I think Stearns would probably prefer a model of sustainability. For the Diamondbacks if they're selling Goldy they're definitely going full fire sale. They're going to want a prospect laden return, not something centered around a 28 year old 1B coming off a career year. Probably matches them up better with someone like the Yankees, IMO.

Really telling stat in this series: Brewers w /RISP: 2 for 14 (.143) Dodgers w / RISP: 4 for 9 (.444), 3 BB Say what you want about the pen, but at some point if you want to play with the big boys, you have to be able to come up with that big hit in that key moment. The Dodgers have. We have not. We're putting together far more threats. But we're not finishing. It's frustrating, because frankly, we've been the better team so far. But they've been the more mature team.

Attanasio: my kids can take this over some day
adambr2 replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I remember seeing something about George Steinbrenner's heirs being able to avoid the estate tax completely when George died, but I don't remember how or why. -
It's long overdue anyway for arbitration panels to emerge from the 1970s and start figuring out ways to pay guys based on performance measures that are actually relevant in the 21st century.

Joey, I agree with you 90% of the time which is why I have to say I just don't understand these positions. Energize? They were playing in the NLCS against the defending NL champs on their home field in front of a pumped up home crowd. If that doesn't energize them, I don't know how going to L.A. is going to change that. It's not like they haven't been trying the last 2 games and now will. That said, I obviously hope I am 100% wrong about this and you are 100% right. They need to have a good offensive road trip, certainly.
-
It's obvious, but Game 3 is really pivotal. Win, and you really put the pressure back on the Dodgers, really put the screws to them and put them in real tough spot needing to take the next 2 at home. Lose, and you may see some panic start to set in and get the feeling things may be slipping away. I fully expect the Game 3 winner to end up in the World Series.
-
He was absolutely the guy you want up there in the 9th, but after you watched him foul off Jansen the first time it was hard to feel that anything good was going to happen. Jansen's cutter really ate him up 3 times. It's hard to ask him to continue carrying this team. Other guys have to step up. Cain has somewhat, and Arcia has somewhat. Everyone else for the most part has been just okay. Not great. Someone needs to really step up offensively in L.A. whether it be Yelich or someone else.
-
Yep. This should be a 2-0 series and now it's a 0-0 road series. Both games have gone exactly the way we wanted to and played right into our hands and we nearly lost both.
-
"If I’m going to give up a hit, it’s going to be a hit like that," Jeffress said of the homer. "They hit a home run, something that’s left up, you can’t take nothing away from those guys over there. They’re professionals like everybody else. "Just make a pitch. That’s all I’ve got to do." Did I miss a quote other than this? Don't really see anything idiotic here. Just standard stuff.
-
People are just discussing. Don't see a whole lot of screaming and gnashing of teeth going on. Not a big deal. Not really sure how anyone can say people are handling it that poorly. Obviously there will be some frustration.
-
Broxton would really be useful in these tight games. With as much as Schoop is being used it really makes no sense to me why Broxton isn't here.
-
I've never had them winning this series. The Dodgers just have a better 25 and at some point it's tough to overcome that. But...I've been wrong before. Maybe they get right back on the horse and take the next 2 and surprise us. I never had them making it this far and they did. So, who knows.
-
Yeah I was fine with pulling Miley when they did. Like someone said it was how they got here. Burnes simply didn't get the job done. Other guys too but going in expecting a couple innings out of Burnes and getting one loud out and a couple runs really started to unravel things.
-
They're in a tough spot now, no doubt, and they're not the favorites in this series at this point. Have to win 2 out of 3 in L.A. to avoid an elimination game back in Milwaukee for Game 6.

Walking Barnes was a killer. I get that it was a "good pitch", but thats only a good pitch on 2-2, not 3-2. You cannot rely on a chase with the bases loaded and nowhere to put him.
