He’s starting tomorrow -
That was the greatest half inning I’ve ever witnessed, hands down.
-
All the people who said you need home runs to win can shove it!!!!
-
Folks, we’re gonna win it all!!!!!!’

Feels wrong to have Freddy on the other team
-
That's exactly why Cash went with Vilade in the starting lineup. I would have done the same.
-
I feel a little bad for Rays fans. Their crowds looked great in the championship series and their fanbase has some momentum with the new ownership and new stadium. This isn't going to help their reputation but people just need to chalk it up as Wisconsin fans going crazy for this team.

Aranda out is the same platoon debate we've been having this whole postseason. You're getting 2 ABs of a favorable Vilade-Gasser matchup but then the third time through we will bring in a righty and they will PH Aranda. That sets up the Aranda-Ashby matchup late which we were ready for in G2. The strategy matches Cash's "see the A relievers over and over" gameplan, as it tips the scale in favor of Ashby seeing an appearance again tonight and facing the same part of the Rays lineup.

Caminero bats 4th like it's 1995. Did they not see us win a playoff game because Chourio bats 1st? And then they found themselves in the exact same situation against Ashby where it could have been Caminero up with the game on the line.

At this point you let it ride, same lineup. Would like to see a Vaughn PH at the right time though.

How do you think David Stearns' day is going?

I'm with Turbo, it's well known that Counsell is a fierce competitor and that the perceived higher odds of winning a WS in Chicago was a major factor in him leaving. -
Yeah the deserve-to-win meter had us at like 75% for G1 and 85% for G2. The second game in particular was a sneaky domination that the Rays were lucky to keep close. We had an absurd amount of hard contact in that one. Tonight could be like G3 of the Padres series where a great pitching performance finally beats us, or it could be like G3 of the Dodgers series where we broke them early and walked away with an easy win. It's hard not to like our odds of winning the series since it's basically must-win territory for the Rays tonight. It's easy to imagine them buckling down at home and getting the series back to Milwaukee. But I could also see the opposite scenario where they come out to a pro-Brewers crowd, fall behind early, and that's essentially it.

I remain undecided but it would only be if we win tonight.

How do you think David Stearns' day is going?

If I had to speculate, I would guess that a number of individuals in the Brewers org must have done a huge amount of organizational building legwork in the 2010s (or even prior to that) to get us where we are now. I wish someone would ask Mark A the question and see what he says. If I had to guess, I bet he would say that it's not something you can do in just a couple of years. It took Doug Melvin 6 years to get the Brewers to the playoffs and I'm pretty sure when Mark A bought the team it was Melvin coaching Mark on how to run baseball ops for quite a while. When it was time for Doug to retire, at that point Mark knew what he was doing, had the organization running smoothy, and he had figured out that he had to go get an analytically-minded GM to put the last piece of the puzzle together. That's where Stearns came in and I don't think it's a coincidence that our drafting and player development took huge strides around that time. In retrospect it looks like Stearns brought some critical pieces to our org but maybe he wasn't a "organizational builder" guy which is what the Mets really need. Or, maybe it's only been 3 years and it's going to take the Mets 10+ years to actually turn things around (even with their budgetary advantages). Or, the fan/media pressure is just too strong in NY for anyone to have the patience to make deep changes. -
Interestingly, the bat angle that was tested in the PCL is 45 degrees past home plate, or parallel with the base line. So by the new rule (coming soon to a MLB stadium near you), this will be ruled a non-swing. I’m behind that definition — ABS is favoring pitchers so they need the next set of rule changes to be more hitter friendly.
-
Similar to Miz, one wonders about cumulative innings count. They didn’t give him an extra day of rest for kicks and giggles.
-
I gotta wait until the result of G3 to make a call but interested if I decide to go. I’m hoping a G3 win triggers another ticket price drop
-
I’m thinking the same. If we win game 3 I’m probably gonna pull the trigger. It helps that I’m not coming from Milwaukee so it’s cheap to fly there. I might go solo so we may need a BF meetup…
-
I know the final score was 5-4 but they got beat bad this game, after the first 15 minutes it was a complete dominating performance by Milwaukee while they played poorly and were lucky it wasn’t 10-4 by the end of it. We had a lot of discussion about how the game 1 bullpen decisions would look pretty dumb if they lost game 2 and sure enough they did, but for this game in particular it was quietly a beatdown and what they really needed was another timely hit or two and it didn’t come because our bullpen is on absolute fire.
-
Now that I’ve calmed down, I think that may have been my favorite Brewers game of all time. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen such a compete and methodical weardown of an opponent that was spotted a 4-0 lead. We probably had like 25+ at bats that were superb and maybe 5 that were subpar. We saw 184 pitches. I have never in my life seen any team in any sport have such universal buy in to a coaching system. It’s phenomenal. I don’t know how to explain it. They are playing really good opponents in this postseason and they are 9-1 in what have all been close games. We all know what Brewers ball is but teams get away from their identities all the time. Opponents try to break you and they often succeed. Momentum fades. Bad bounces happen. This team overcomes it all.

I should probably check myself into a hospital, my heart is still beating out of my chest, I’m uncontrollably sweating, and I can’t keep my hands steady
-
Clean up the 7-8-9 and keep the big bats on the bench
-
I don’t think it was close enough to overturn but if the call on the field was safe it might have held
-
This team is so freaking relentless
-
They did say the best pitcher in the postseason was going tonight, right? I think we just saw him.
