If a Braun comeback was about helping the Brewers win games it would have already happened. Not to say a brief comeback still might happen, but it won't be to plug any roster gaps.

2021 ECF. Bucks vs Hawks: UPDATE - - - BUCKS IN SIX
owbc replied to DuWayne Steurer's topic in Other Sports
When you show the game for free outside and price the tickets at $170 a pop that's gonna happen. Sad but true. Reminds me of how much worse the crowd got for Game 7 of the NLCS in 2018. I was at every playoff game aside from Game 2 of the NLCS, and it was shocking how much noticeably older and quieter the Game 7 crowd was. It was like going from hooligans at Game 6 to a bunch of retirees for 7. You could see it an hour before the game started, the kind of people who were filing in. I don't know, I think that game 7 Brewers crowd was just nervous and then was taken out of it by the Dodgers' pitching being ridiculously dominant. The people I sat around in game 6 didn't really care about the game, but I was in a different spot for game 7. As for the Bucks, it's bound to be a bit of a letdown when you just had a wild 7-game series vs. what might have been the best team in the NBA and suddenly it's game one on Wednesday night against the Hawks. -
The reason to go to 12 is pretty simple. Nobody wants the smaller schools to have money/influence and the 4 team system was perfect for locking them out. With a 6-team playoff it would be way too easy for one of those non-power 5 schools to pull an upset and get into the semifinal or NC game which are worth serious $$$. However, the weaker power-5 conferences don’t like being left out of the playoff and the fans keep complaining that undefeated teams are being left out. So you expand to a bigger playoff which will give the fans an occasional first round upset and allow the top-4 to have an easy victory in the quarterfinals against a tired opponent. It does seem to more or less finish off the new year’s bowls if they take all of the good teams and put them in this playoff. So it might not pencil out for someone like the Citrus bowl to get rescheduled to mid-December and lose the guarantee of two power-5 teams. Maybe that’s what the hesitation is. I do think going to 12 will make college football more interesting without watering down the regular season too much.

Meh...sucks to drop the first one but similar to the last series it's good to get the wake up call early. Young isn't going to score 48 every night. #bucksinsix -
2021 ECF. Bucks vs Hawks: UPDATE - - - BUCKS IN SIX

This series is a huge mismatch on paper. If the Sixers were even remotely competent they would have beaten the Hawks in 6 or less. Did you know Ben Simmons attempted 3 shots in the 4th quarter in the entire Hawks series? He made all 3 The Hawks will take one of their two home games but that's it. The Bucks will wrap this up in 5. This is a Hawks team that won two games against Philly shooting under 40%. That will not cut it against Milwaukee. -
It’s funny you bring up that game because it’s probably the closest WI sports parallel to tonight...blown late lead, game nearly lost, and then pulling it out in extras. But...I can’t think of any true parallel to tonight, an elimination game against all odds that they pulled out. At least not from the professional teams. Maybe a couple of Wisconsin NCAA games would count, the first Arizona elite 8 game or the win over Kentucky the following year.

The sports deities were smiling down on Wisconsin fans today.
-
10 years from now we’ll remember this as the series where KD nearly beat the Bucks by himself.
-
It worked!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That was an appropriate ending to this series. Unreal. On to the next series.
-
They are all exhausted
-
I’m about to quit as a Wisconsin sports fan, this is just so so cruel.
-
Thanks for that rally for letting me briefly unclench before the 4th.
-
Bit of adversity — great response.
-
4th quarter intensity in Q1
-
I stand by my original comment—not Giannis himself but this era of Bucks teams needs this win tonight for their legacy. Will a new coach help??? It could, or it couldn’t. Hard for the #1 defense to get better with a new coach. You don’t let this opportunity slip away and as nervous as I am, the Bucks have gotten better as the series has gone on and I believe they have what it takes to win tonight. If they don’t, it will definitely be a stain on the legacy of this group
-
We’re not going to need this thread tonight, are we??? /reverse jinx
-
7 pitches, maybe Hader gets the 10th?
-
This Bard guy needs some spider tack.
-
Get Hader throwing
-
It feels like the legacy of the entire Giannis era comes down to this game.
-
That was fun.

I’m pretty sure that Grandal and Muncy are actively trying to avoid putting the ball in play. It’s kind of an extreme version of 3TO that only a handful of guys with elite pitch selection ability can pull off. Maybe that’s the end stage of the analytics revolution if everyone just tries to draw walks because putting the ball in play is considered undesirable. If you have Grandal’s .132 BABIP it certainly makes way more sense to just foul off every strike that the pitcher throws you. Maybe we’ll see an MLB team win a game with zero hits at some point LOL.

Sounds more like a Slow Trip than a Kwik Trip amirite?
-
But as 10 HR and and OBP of .386. I'd definitely take that over about half of our lineup Thank you. This is Brewerfan.net, we stopped using slash lines in 2005. Grandal is a top-10 catcher in baseball offensively this year. His wRC+ is 127 and that’s despite being one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball this year. On top of that, if you’re going to use stats that aren’t weighted you can’t compare one position to another.
