Series Thread: Rox vs Crew

OK, Brewers. Don't waste this opportunity.

 

[Montalban]

Milwaukee is 1-0 and leading in this one. They have 3 guys who are closers for most teams.

Maybe you are right. I haven't followed the Brewers much but I've not seen anyone as dominant as Hader in a long time

Burnes and Woodruff have putaway numbers. Hader is not even the closer. Knebel was. He isn't even close now. That team is sick with pitching.

 

[kburjr]

Can Moose do it again?

 

[kburjr]

Yes!!!

 

[redseat]

Moose on the loose again

Relief pitching...they're short on starters...well...good ones... but that pen is nasty

 

[JohnU]

I just realized Eric Thames isn't on the MB roster.
What a shame.

 

[Moab]

That pair above the NL in NLDS is just spectacular

Yeah, the starters are a tad shaky but I think most teams like that can get 100 pitches out of a starter and mix-match the rest of the way. They are in position to go after a starter.

I must've distracted Shaw with that comment

They usually only use them for 70 to 80...and that pen works it's butt off

Shows how much I know. I thought Hader was the closer. He was on the All Star Team, was he not?

I assume they get Nelson back next year and it looks like they have a player or two they can deal for a starter. Santana maybe is worth a pitcher.

I like Counsell's managing. He could turn one of those bullpen guys into a starter. I think Woodruff has some background there.

The guy's numbers are off the charts but he was never their closer. That was Knebel early on. Now it's Jeffress.

These days the pen has become so important. All the best teams are looking for relievers.

 

[Montalban]

Its nice to see a different team's fans get to enjoy the post season. They get to experience what we Giants fans did between 2010 and 2014. Go Brewers

Yes, and their rookie, Peralta did ok for them and you would hope would get better...you just never know though

I never expect much from pitchers now. The elbows and shoulders are the worst of it. Now they all pull oblique muscles from working out too much.

Honestly, that's why I don't mind bullpenning... if a guy is throwing 15 to 30 pitches 4 out of 6 days, it's probably better than throwing 90 to 110 every 5 days... just my opinion...but when you tire you compensate and that's usually when bad stuff happens
