I know this is a foreign concept to you but I cheer for two baseball teams and I like them equally.
-
Half of the teams in the postseason don’t seem to have enough pitching to go anywhere. Although someone has to advance in the Yankees/Blue Jays slugfest of a series.

These type of ideas likely have the buy in of a dozen or more senior people that are directly involved with game strategy. Murphy certainly has a seat at that table but the unique part is that he's the one that has to sell it to the players involved. Almost every team has an analytics department and surely many of them are coming up with interesting strategies, but few organizations have the buy in that the Brewers do to actually execute a high risk/high reward strategy in a series that they already have the upper hand in. Nobody in their right mind would use their clear #2 starter as a decoy in game 2 of a playoff series, while filling his space with the literal human manifestation of Ricky 'Wild Thing' Vaughn. So even though the strategy was a success we're still debating it.
-
Too early to say if it was a "master class" move or not. We're playing the long game as others have noted. Maybe we win game 3 because Priester has a couple deep fly balls knocked down by the wind blowing in? Or maybe we end up with bullpen fatigue by game 4. Who knows. Right now it looks pretty brilliant though. Even if the alternate plan went well and Priester had won game 2, we'd be sitting here right now worrying about how the bullpen would cover game 3. Instead we're in ridiculously good shape.

If you told me we gave up 3 total runs in a bullpen game and got 3 innings out of Miz I would be over the moon. Just don’t tell me any other details.
-
Feels like we’re living in a dream. I never want this season to end. With any luck we can ride it for a few more weeks.
-
The first half of this game borrowed extensively from the plot of Major League.
-
He’s too busy questioning pitches that are clearly strikes.
-
I thought this series would be the death of me, and it still might be, but right now I’m having as much or more fun than the big winning streak.
-
55 years to get one postseason 3 run hr…a little over an hour to get another
-
Im glad Miz is having fun because he’s taking the rest of us for an emotional rollercoaster ride.
-
-
Love the enthusiasm. He got it done. Don’t think he knew where any of his pitches were going to end up.
-
I didn’t watch. I didn’t even know who they were playing this week until I happened to be checking college football scores. I’m completely checked out as a fan.
-
I thought extra innings sucked in the 3TO era. Just a race to see who can hit a solo HR first, and sometimes it took forever. The Mariners had back-to-back 12 inning games in September and I just wanted the second one to be over so I could go to bed. Eventually there will be a change but with both owners/players happy with the current situation it will take a fan lead initiative. Ideally they would at least play the 10th with regular rules. I haven't seen anyone suggest a change that is clearly better than the zombie runner. Maybe you put the runner at 1st instead of second so you can't lose on a blooper. Two outfielders instead of three?. Three ball walks? There are a lot of ways to manipulate the rules without putting auto runners on, but are any of them actually better?

West coast Brewers fans rejoice! Especially since I'm still recovering from the Mariners game last night.

Too bad we can’t score in the postseason because we don’t hit home runs. -

A single solo HR is no biggie, glad he settled in -
I was 3/4 in the WC round…thought the Padres would advance but no luck. Phi/LA: Dodgers in 5. LA is firing on all cylinders but their pitching depth will cost them a few games. A must watch series. Chc/Mil: Brewers in 4. Please. NYY/Tor: Yankees in 4. Im torn on this one. Likely going to be an offense heavy series, in the end I think the Yankees steal a game in Toronto and close it out at home. Det/Sea: Mariners in 4. The Mariners fit the formula of a team built for postseason success with their power hitting lineup and rotation depth. With Skubal not available in game 1 it feels like Detroit will be playing from behind from the start and won’t recover the momentum.
-
He got the double play ball, the defense just botched it.
-
I didn't think the Cubs pitching would pull them through in a short series against that top-heavy SD bullpen, but you have to get enough out of your starting pitching to get to your high leverage arms.
-
Such a waste of time to even start him. One more hit and this game is blown open.
-
Feels like we're due for some reverse sweeps this year.
-
I can't find it documented but I know I read it somewhere. It makes sense because many stadiums have TVs in the club seats right behind home plate. It wouldn't be that hard for the fans to start calling out when to challenge. It will definitely make the TV watching experience different, we're so used to the instant feedback of that box that it will be difficult to judge borderline balls/strikes without it.
