    Yes but the games against the Yankees are far more important than the games against the Reds. One extra day is not going to make a difference, it's actually a shocking decision to me. I guess they can still adjust but what if the lead is down to one or two games do you really not want Bieber for one of those three? It's crazy.
  2. Masterbather
    According to ESPN Bieber is set to face the Reds instead of the Yankees. Is ESPN just assuming based on recent schedule? I have to assume Bieber faces the Yankees given the enormity of that series compared to the Reds. I didn't watch the whole game today did they mention anything about upcoming pitching matchups?

    Yep. It's all about flexing.

    I'm pretty sure it was a universal opinion on here that this team was going to have to be very lucky just to be a wild card contender. They've exceeded expectations, sometimes you have these magical years. Even then, you know the one thing that has been consistent? The pitching largely has been poor. The pitching is still a problem. It's still the thing most likely to kill this team.

    Of all the playoff teams, in both leagues, I'm least impressed by the Tigers. They have that one ace, the ace of aces, they have some power bats. Of course anything can happen in a short series but, I don't know I don't find them all that imposing.

    I remember being concerned that we didn't do nearly enough for our bullpen in 2021 and waited too long to address it. I was overreacting they said, we're on a roll and doing great, right up until we missed the playoffs by one game. Was concerned about our bullpen again in 2022. Calm down you're overreacting they said. People actually liked that pen. We know what happened there. Concerned about the offense in 2023, well in fairness everybody was, even the most staunch supporters of this team knew it was a problem.

    I really wish people would stop projecting on here. Just because somebody mentions concerns with the team, which a lot of people do on here, that doesn't mean they're hyperventilating or panicking or even depressed. It just means they're pointing out concerns with the team. Which is what a message board is for. Is that okay? Is that allowed?

    Happy to get to win today, kind of amazing we didn't lose more ground but this team is leaking oil right now. It seems every game we have to use too many arms out of the bullpen because a lot of guys are failing to get the job done. Scherzer is a concern and was always going to be a concern. We don't know what we're going to get from him. It will be infuriating if they don't call up Yesavage with an opportunity to make the postseason roster. We have one silver bullet and we desperately need to try to use it. A lot of things had to happen for us to be in this position this year and who knows when we'll get a chance again, especially with how wide open the American League is compared to a killer National League.

    I'm old enough to remember when they were division rivals. But I didn't hate them like I hated other rivals. I respected them. Awesome small market team. Great atmosphere. Bernie Brewer and his slide. The sausage race. Bob freaking Uecker! Front Row Amy!! How can anyone not like them? Edit: I also love the logo. Very clever design.

    Game one was good pitching? Seven runs isn't good.
  11. Masterbather
    Easy peasy.

    “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!” I guess they've fallen upon hard times since Laverne and Shirley.

    I love the Brewers everything. It's hard to hate the Brewers.
  14. Masterbather
    Well at least we "ruffed" up Woodruff
  15. Masterbather
    Nance, the bullpen ace.
  16. Masterbather
    I think it was obvious to everybody that the league had adjusted to Little. I think he can still be useful if he throws enough in the zone. But hitters are not going to do him the favours they were doing before.
  17. Masterbather
    That entire outing was unintentionally hilarious by Little.
  18. Masterbather
    I was always taught to think about the possibilities before the pitch happens so that I'm not caught off guard. I guess major league players aren't taught that.
  19. Masterbather
    What the f*** was he doing? It amazes me how major league pitchers look worse than high schoolers Fielding simple plays.
  20. Masterbather
    I'm not sure if we're better off with Scherzer who really doesn't seem to be fooling anybody or our bullpen right now.
  21. Masterbather
    Well that was stupid lol
  22. Masterbather
    We miss nothing defensively with Straw over Varsho.
  23. Masterbather
    Scherzer just keeps giving up home runs at a high rate. Lots of deep fly balls.
  24. Masterbather
    Barger's swing decisions are killing him early in the count. He swings at junk in on his hands or high and then takes cookies over the plate.
  25. Masterbather
    If all six are at their best it's not close because Scherzer's best is relative. He'll never be the pitcher he was several years ago, he can only be the best version of his 41 year old self, which is a couple of notches below.
