    To be fair, it was the Reds. It was obvious that they were the team that snuck in and didn't belong. Mets likely would have looked the same.
  2. Team Canada
    Agreed, the crowd just exploded. Also, the sustained boos for Machado were hilarious.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  4. Team Canada
    This may be the only time I approve of a Machado homer.
  5. Team Canada
    I wasn't at that one to compare, but 2018 NLCS Game 6 was by far the best sporting experience I've had.
  6. Team Canada
    Although it didn't work out at all. Kittredge gives up hits to the lefties (and a run) and Imanaga has no problem with them in the 3rd.

    This was an interesting nugget when I first read about the challenge system that I hadn't appreciated before. Well, to go back even further, I hadn't realized until the whole robot discussion started that the actual strike zone was if it crossed the plate anywhere in the 3D space of the plate. Growing up I'd always assumed it was as it crosses home plate - and maybe that's practically how it's going to work in most cases except for extreme backdoor pitches from the side or top. In any case, it makes sense that they're just taking a cross-section in the middle of the plate as a sort of average/midpoint compromise, but it's still not going to be 100% perfect. Still, nearly everything will be correct.

    That seems like just a wee bit of an overreaction. Wainright, especially, as far as I know, is a pretty great human being, regardless of what uniform he put on.

    That's the beauty of the challenge system. It's not really about the balls that are painting the edge. I think we can all live with those calls going either way, and it's amazing that they're called correctly as often as they are. But calls like those above will never happen again.

    Sure, you could say that for any team. If you're scoring 5+ runs a game, it largely won't matter. But that's usually not how the playoffs work, and I would be surprised if they make it to the WS because of how unreliable their bullpen is.
  11. Team Canada
    Ugh. Makes sense with Philly the other game, they're going to go first. At least on Wed. you'd think that Seattle will be the late game, I'd guess Brewers will be one of the afternoon games and Philly will be 5-6pm. They should be the early game on Thurs as well assuming it's Philly@LA.

    This is why the Dodgers are going to have issues winning 2 more series.
  13. Team Canada
    Interesting move by Counsell bringing in Palencia in the 5th, but I like it. If someone else comes in and gives up runs, you may not use him at all. And back-to-back HRs validate that decision.
  14. Team Canada
    No kidding. Strikes a guy out on a 101mph sinker to end the 7th. 13k, dominant performance.
  15. Team Canada
    Yes, exactly. These are clearly two separate statements: I think Kim is one of the only guys to target in free agency. Maybe a Bellinger type bat that goes unnoticed in free agency later if something like that were to happen to him, Naylor, Suarez, etc
  16. Team Canada
    That's not what he said at all.
  17. Team Canada
    I haven't seen any direct quotes about the lineup change (although I don't subscribe to MJS so don't see Hogg's material) - I'm interested in more rationale on why he would move Frelick from the top. It seems like his move to leadoff coincided with their on fire stretch, and he also seems like a good fit. Let Yelich slug behind other runners.
  18. Team Canada
    Yeah, seems like Mis pitched himself off the roster tonight.
  19. Team Canada
    Hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse, but if we're talking about the NLDS (and let's not get ahead of ourselves), there are only 3 starters. Given how emphatic Murph has been about Quintana having a role in this postseason, my guess is if he's feeling ok it'll be Quintana, with Patrick starting if he can't go. Depending on the score it could be a piggyback with the two of them (or Myers), otherwise with the off days we can easily throw the BP A team out there to lock it down. Re status, latest I heard was Hall and Q are both throwing, so they would likely be physically able to pitch, it's just they may have had no real work before the playoffs.
  20. Team Canada
    I hear what you're saying in general, but I just can't agree this year. We require no additional luck this year than any other team trying to navigate 3 series.
  21. Team Canada
    We're talking about the same Dodgers team that has beaten the Brewers a total of... ZERO times this year? We need to stop underselling this team. They are the best team in baseball. Could anything happen next month? Of course! But we're the team that others don't want to play. Sure, the Phillies are feeling great about their chances as well, and that'll be a great NLCS if it ends up that way, but the Dodgers bullpen is an absolute dumpster fire and their offense is not the '27 Yankees, even if they do have a bunch of HOFers in it.
  22. Team Canada
    Welcome! Also, "you must be kidding" isn't a productive response. Presumably the post and thought was serious, so treat it as such and avoid the condescending remark. It's a valid debate to have.
  23. Team Canada
    How is that an actual concern "by far"? What are you actually suggesting would happen?
  24. Team Canada
    Not mentioned is a 99mph FB hits Fry in the face, then the WP and balk. Skubal was visibly shaken and understandably had trouble pulling it back together after that.
  25. Team Canada
    I hadn't really thought about this aspect, but ESPN's article noted: Adding the robot umps is likely to cut down on ejections. MLB said 61.5% of ejections among players, managers and coaches last year were related to balls and strikes, as were 60.3% this season through Sunday. The figures include ejections for derogatory comments, throwing equipment while protesting calls and inappropriate conduct. That is a benefit for umpires - people can't complain about calls when they can get them overruled.
