2025 MLB Season

[tower912]

The 107 pitches Skubal threw against Cleveland was a career high.  115 after 107 in his previous start?  Nope.


Detroit has 10 hits in 20 innings and somehow came out of Seattle with a split.  The problem is the same one that has bedeviled them since the All Star break.   Hitting.

Playoffs, 5 games.   32 hits, 59 strikeouts, team batting average of .186.

Did not expect Chourio batting lead off tonight and playing the outfield.

Don't worry, ICE will detain him in Chicago as a favor to Matt Shaw

Hopefully ICE is all over AmFam Field tonight. Only US citizens should enjoy playoff baseball.

Is the staging area in Mequon?

[MuggsyB]

Chourio is playing.  Is this a risk?

[MuggsyB]

Philly fan does not look particularly happy.

Look for the largest dental office.

What in the freaking world was tbe Phillies runner on 2nd doing there?  That was a great bunt.

The idea of bunting there was terrible. Especially after Bader's single in the next at bat.

Maybe, but the runner hesitated and then ran to 3rd.  He would have been safe easily if he was running on tbe pitch.

It was a terrible decision to bunt there. Jeez you had all the momentum in the world.

Why is Priester not starting? This is way more baffling than Boyd starting Saturday.

[MuggsyB]

Staring Ashby was apparently a disaster.

I don't get it at all.

Just allowed the Cubs to stack their line up and get off to a quick start.

[MuggsyB]

Has the Brewers manager done this before?  Inexcusable?

Brewers and Cubs managers taking turns making galaxy brained decisions

[Jockey]

Using an opener is always stupid unless you're doing an all reliever game when a starter is hurt.

[MuggsyB]

Hello!

[MuggsyB]

Darling is a tool btw.  Openly rooting for the Cubs. 

[GB Warrior]

Thank you Jerry

At least there's some logic to Counsel's decision. It was dumb, but you can talk yourself into, "Yeah it's 3 days rest, but the last outing was only 58 pitches and this gives us Boyd and Iminaga pitching 4 of 5 potential games." Murphy having Ashby as your "opener?" Zero logic whatsoever. You're set up perfectly to have Freddy and Priester start 4 of 5 potential games. Ashby can play the 2018 Hader role and come in in an early jam and get you out of it, and then give you 2 innings after. Now you use that bullet in a spot he's not used to and have a starter coming out of the pen. Like zero logic at all.

It'd make way more sense to do an "opener" for game 3. Quintana had been struggling lately, wasn't throwing strikes, and is coming off the IR. If you don't have confidence in that, okay maybe you go bullpen day.

"Brewers are just looking to make contact here"
"Harmless single"
"Cubbies need a 0 here, gotta have it"

[MuggsyB]

That wasn't close to a ball.

Like I said.  Colossal tool.
