Doesn't bother me at all. Get the enjoyment of listening to a Uecker called game while getting to watch and not just listen to the game. Best of both worlds.
-
I mean if it was the 5th or 6th I'm right there with you. Or maybe if the bases were loaded with no one out and we had a chance to blow it open. I doubt he'll get up again, but no one was even on. We have some long relief options but we can't really just never have our pitchers hit ever.

Update: 6 HR allowed through 69 2/3rds
-
That was before tonight Update: 5 homers through 69 2/3rds.

Don't know if I've seen Cain look that bad in an AB all season.
-
I don't think it's so much necessarily how good Carpenter is but that Gio is just not a great matchup for an extreme RH lineup. But we will see what they do.
-
My hunch is that unless Gio is especially sharp and efficient, the plan is tentatively that he gets removed shortly or immediately after the 2nd time he faces Carpenter. Then Woodruff and/or Anderson for some time, with the sharper one getting more work.

I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything. Just wondering if there's a protocol for neck spasms. I'd want to be there even if I couldn't pitch, personally, fwiw. I'm sure Jeremy would too, but the priority over that should be getting him back in a condition to pitch as soon as possible. If the medical staff would prefer he be resting, icing, whatever he was doing rather than sitting there for several hours in the pen, I'm all for it if it helps his recovery.

Heads up baserunning Eric!
-
Boy did Thames need that so badly. And I realize he had some help but still.
-
No tarp yet, they want to see if the Cards can grab the lead first.
-
Let's see if neck tats are baseball-proof... I dislike Molina as much as the next Brewer fan, but really, guys?
-
Or just, you know, do nothing, Craig.
-
Hard for Hader to pick a worse night not to have it.
-
Peralta has been buried at the bottom of the bullpen since August. You come up with this whole analytically based plan tonight and the guy who has been buried at the bottom of the pen suddenly becomes a better option based on looking good for one inning?
-
I just don't get it. You literally started Dan Jennings simply because of one guy and then you don't try to work around that guy next time and he hurts you. What was the point again?
-
Want to get totally nuts? Start Taylor Williams as your RF and bat him and Jennings 8th/9th. Flip/flop them every time the matchup changes. Go 2 innings with them if their spots don't come up in the 2nd.
-
I think Stearns and Counsell are both on the same page on decisions like this. Something like batting the pitcher 8th on a particular day if Counsell wanted to try it, I doubt Stearns is getting involved too much. Something fairly big like this I doubt happens without a conversation between the two where they are both in agreement that it's a good thing to try.

How critical is every single game this series? This critical: Get swept - You're basically out of the running for WC1, as you trail St Louis by 1, minus the tiebreaker, with the Cubs likely having nothing left to play for against the Cards. Depending on what the Rockies do, your playoff life may be at risk entirely. Take 1 of 3 - Still up a game on the Cards, but minus the tiebreaker. Need to match them in the last series to secure WC1, with again the Cubs likely having nothing to play for. Take 2 of 3 - Likely out of realistic division contention, but WC1 is secure. Can probably think about resting guys in the last series. Sweep - WC1 at minimum secure. May be in the division race, and have likely put pressure on both the Cubs and Cardinals to play out the last series.

2018 Standings and Playoff Race Discussion
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Can we just pass on the tie breaker game and go full strength into the wild card game? Of course you can. You can trot out a lineup of Broxton, Santana, Perez, Nottingham, Thames, Saladino, Schoop, and Granderson, start Freddy Peralta, call up Diplan and Houser, keep a few relievers who won't be in the playoffs, and keep everyone else home. When you have a chance to win the division and #1 overall seed in the NL by winning 1 game however I would not recommend doing that. -
Well, Wade Miley has been our stopper. (Wow that seems weird to say).
-
But you didn't stay away from it. You still had to interject one jab calling people out for their in-game reactions. Hot takes? Yeah, probably. Braun doesn't suck, but as I said early in the thread he could stand to see the bench for Santana a few games. I think a lot of the frustration with him stems from the whole hope with him among many who still believe in him as a big game player is that he would be a guy to step up in September in a pennant race. That has not happened. In any event, people were just disappointed to see the hope from Friday's games fade back to the reality of probably little chance of winning the division. We've all been there, as far as IGTs go.

I am so tired of hearing about idiots in football dropping the ball before the goalline. It is the absolute pinnacle of mental errors in sports. What in the world is wrong with you? You worked so hard to get into the endzone, it is literally the best possible accomplishment on a football play, and you throw it all away because -- why? What did you gain from dropping the football at the goalline? It is beyond comical and anyone guilty of it should be ejected from the game just on principal.
-
Chance to really make a serious run at the division and the offense lays a giant egg. This team has been shut out way too many times for the talent on offense.
-
When you score 0 runs, doesn't really matter if Jacob Barnes, Junior Guerra, or Miley Cyrus throws that inning. We were probably about 5% to win the game at the point Barnes was put in, so doesn't really matter much to me.
