Padres (King) vs Brewers (Henderson): 10/4/26, 3:00pm
Team Canada replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Archived Game Threads
Welcome!! -
I'm surprised the game thread kept going so long after the game was declared over after it was 2-0.
-
Yes, but it highlights others: Logan Henderson threw 46% four-seamers and struck out 59 batters with them. Kyle Harrison threw 57% four-seamers and struck out 86. Even Robert Gasser and Shane Drohan kicked in 30-plus four-seamer K's each.
-
I think you meant these to be in the postseason thread. :)
-
I grabbed 4 (Section 429) for Game 2 in one of the mini drops earlier this week, but not sure if I'll be able to use them. PM me if you're interested in 2-4.
-
C'mon Murph, you can't keep using that. Most experts are actually picking the Brewers this year. You're the best team in MLB. It's totally expected that you continue to win.
-
His comments did indicate it was a possibility. Basically he wanted to get Duran in as early as possible and play it by ear from there. That's the questionable part for me. It absolutely made sense to me to have him face the top of the lineup. And it's reasonable to try to get some more outs from him given general BP unreliability, but it would have been more defensible to just use him for the 7th against their best hitters, then move on. Completely diverging from normal process just because it's October isn't necessarily going to work out well. Obviously hindsight is 20/20.
-
Well not in jeopardy after all.
-
King is rolling and the BP looms - they're in serious jeopardy of getting no hit.
-
Of course. That was a 3 game sample size, vs the Padres being on fire for months.

Brewers Name Christian Yelich First Team Captain
Team Canada replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Sorry, I completely read that backwards, as Braun wasn't a great person and Yelich thinking he is is a sign he's not great either. I understand now what you were saying! -
As is often the case, it's dangerous to jump to conclusions (not a shot at you, more the culture and commentators that posted outraged takes).
-
Right. But the question isn't can we beat the Padres, it's would you rather face the other white hot team, or a different team that's definitely NOT white hot right now?

Brewers Name Christian Yelich First Team Captain
Team Canada replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
People make unethical decisions for varying amounts of money. I strongly suspect the spectrum of ethical standards across athletes isn't that different from the rest of humanity. It seems a pretty harsh take on Yelich regardless. -
Correct.
-
I am curious what the actual story is. My reaction was somewhere in between, but I do think there's a world where he wanted to make that statement himself on his own terms, and as usual people jump to the hottest take possible.
-
To be fair, the choice isn't would you rather face the Brewers pen or the Padres pen, but yes I think we forget that we are the best team in the league for a reason, and we're going to be better than most teams at most things.
-
The morning of the first game.
-
I get why people might choose the Padres, but if you're asking "who is the team you are more likely to beat," it's 100% the Cubs. Neither's starting staff is great, but the Cubs BP remains a disaster, and we've shown we can keep PCA in check. We're not trying to get by on the fumes of Freddy Peralta and prayers, we have two legit aces and a darn good team. We shouldn't be afraid of either of those teams.
-
Yeah, good call. I meant <long man du jour> isn't listed. :)
-
Yeah, he's done it with Freddy before (was it just the Mets in 2024 and not at all last year?). That's what's so fun about postseason baseball. You're not planning for a whole season, it's literally Win Tonight and all options are on the table. Especially if you make it to the WS, can you imagine an elimination game where you have Miz, Henderson, and all the bullpen A guys just throwing max effort for an inning? It'd be amazing.
-
Yeah, I would like to see them drop down to 6 and play the Braves, then either the winner takes out the Dodgers and we get to try against someone new, or we don't have to face them.
-
Wilson's not listed.
-
See the thing is, Vladdy, you already got paid for those years. A contract isn't a lifetime achievement award. He's obviously not wrong in the sense that that's why most large free agent contracts are just insanely stupid, but that's not literally true.
-
Given that the plan seems to be for Miz to have more of a normal outing on Sat, I'll guess 4-5. He has a bunch of days off.
