What a time. 10/10 would recommend

If you say you have issues with pitch com, you should have to stay in for the batter

Yeah it was the one time they actually hit a ball hard to the outfield all night and it was right at a guy. Deserved after all the dink and dunk stuff they did to score 2 off Miz.

The Padres were lucky to be in that game. Don’t let anyone tell you anything else

Padres bullshitting their way on base all night on soft contact and the Brewers winning on two tanks is quite poetic.

49 degree launch angle. That wasn’t getting out of the park

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

6 of the 7 hardest hit balls now. Top 4 xBA

142

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Brewers currently have the three hardest hit balls and 4 of the top 5 in xBA in this game. The Padres are still outhitting them.

I am ready for the end of the William Contreras experience behind the plate

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The padres offense is looking like how people think the Brewers offense operates. Weak contact finding holes

020

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Unsure why Ray was allowed to face Chourio a second time with a guy on base imo

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

William needs to be benched for his game calling

Since it is dunking on the Cubs and Counsell day, here’s a fact that I discovered today. Craig Counsell has lost 12 straight games on the road as a manager (0-5 with Cubs, lost last 7 with Brewers after winning first 2). His last road win was at LA in game 3 of the 2018 NLDS

110

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Here's the full list from 2022-26. Hall and 2023 Sims with six more walks than hits but Sims hit 10 batters to Hall's two this year.

011

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Hall and Yuki Matsui were the only two pitchers this year (min 60 innings) with more walks (including IBB) allowed than hits. If you don't include IBB, Hall is the only one with more walks than hits.

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Reminder that they were picked 18th in the team fun draft this spring. They won 103 games and it was the most fun 6 months of baseball I've ever experienced.

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Wisconsin had a 96% post game win expectancy yesterday. They throughly dominated PSU and only had to comeback because of the picks that lead to 10 points.

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Dry humped for the second time. Weird! I’m fine with throwing Abner/Megill both tonight and then Sunday for one last tuneup. But the score should not dictate that. No reason to have Harrison warming

100

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Pretty sure he was up in the 7th when Wilson was struggling but might have misheard BA

100

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yeah mostly agreed on Uribe pitching. It’s just weird they haven’t thrown Harrison out there the last two games when they have said they want to see him out again

100

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yeah I bet they try to get 3 innings or so out of each tomorrow. That is perfectly acceptable

010

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Agreed on that. Probably a bigger issue than Uribe pitching. Wilson is not gonna be on the postseason roster and not a long term piece you want to get right

000

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh i am quite confident Uribe is pitching again this series if it’s close and late

000

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yeah it’s fine if they have given up on him being a playoff piece. But Murphy said recently that they are going to continue to run him out there to see and they simply haven’t the last two days

110

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

And the point is Harrison can obviously pitch twice in three days so pitch him tonight and then on Sunday to get as much data as possible. If they choose for an extended outing tomorrow that’s fine too

000

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Abner is nearing 60 innings and has pitched 5 times in 9 games. He doesn’t need work

200

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

If they are certain in either direction, I guess it’s fine. But if they have any inkling that they want more to see more game action, it’s malpractice not to pitch him multiple times in the last 4 or 5 games

110

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

He pitched Sunday and then Tuesday. He can obviously go on one day rest out of the pen where he would be in the playoffs. Not pitching him in three straight meaningless games is silly imo

200

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Harrison has not pitched since Tuesday. You need to get him as much action this weekend as possible. Why are we going to high leverage guys in a game that literally doesn’t matter

200

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Miz looking sharp pitching on four days rest is very encouraging

020

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Give MLF a three point deficit and great field position and he’ll still somehow play for the tie

000

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

In fact, if you break the 2011 season into three "seasons"(games 1-4, games 5-8, games 9-12), they outscored the 2025 team in all three sets of four games.

102

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The 2011 Badgers scored 40 more points in their 4 non-con games than the 2025 Badgers did the whole season

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

This was back from May’s near no hitter for the Cardinals against the Brewers. Once one thing went wrong, he spiraled. Have seen this at times with the Brewers too. If he doesn’t have his best stuff, he doesn’t battle and gets rocked

120

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

All four Orioles hits have come on May’s cutter. Contreras needs to be stopped

130

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Wonder if Miz will go on 4 days rest this Sunday or the following Sunday. If he pitches on that final day of regular season, he would be on normal five days rest for G1 of NLDS

000

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Four hardest hit balls so far have been by Brewers. They are 0/4 in those batted balls.

James Vandenberg @jamesvandy3.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Chourio AB's are starting to feel like 2018-19 Yeli AB's. Gotta be seated for them and you are almost upset if it's just a single or a walk.

@rdtopp.bsky.social @jaymesl.bsky.social @badgernoonan.bsky.social forget who said it on this week’s MKE Tailgate. But someone said that PCA probably wasn’t getting to 40/40 this year (33 SB entering today) and I immediately thought “well now he’s stealing 5+ bases this series alone.”
