I don’t want him chasing down more than a run for sure. Not today. But if it’s close late you do gotta try and keep it there. 1 you go for it. 2 is kinda a feel thing. If we see good RP down 3+ runs, I will complain.

Do you ever think about how bad a Brewers/Rays WS would screw over MLB's whole lockout marketing strategy this winter? I go between loving and fearing it myself.

The Rays and Brewers now both have 3 chances to advance to their LCS, the Dodgers are tied 1-1 heading on the road the next two games and have to face one of the top 3 SP in the NL, but at least MLB marketing execs have....the Chicago White Sox?

I used to be Ben Rice. I still am Ben Rice, but I used to be too. I'm also perfect if you want to eat 2,000 of something.

If you had asked me 10 (or even 3-4) years ago if May's 3 good starts against SD this year should earn him game 3 of a playoff series despite otherwise struggling the last few months, I would have said hell no. But at this point, I kinda think it's pretty likely to work?

LORD YES I'm over here looking at umpire rankings, Curt, throw a guy a bone!

Nick Mahrley is 44, first worked in MLB in 2017 and got a permanent gig in 2023. He got the plate in game one.

In terms of "expected accuracy" where 0 is perfectly average only Wolcott is above average at +0.02%, everyone else is expected to be below average.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 15h
We don't have an umpire working this series even if the top quartile in terms of accuarcy behind the plate and we have two basically in the bottom quartile. What the absolute hell is MLB thinking with this?

I was curious about the #Brewers ump assignments and I think #ForTheFaithful Padres fans might be interested in this as well... 91 umps worked behind the plate this year, our umps ranked by accuracy: Game #1 N Mahrley 80th #2 L Barrett 59th #3 A Marquez 67th #4 N Lentz 35th #5 Quinn Wolcott 26th

A lot more plays at 1B than RF tho!

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I wonder if instead of benching Yelich if they have Bauers play in right and have Vaughn start at 1B. It’s not like Bauers has been any good at 1B!

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Yeah, it’s not an insignificant drop.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I think this is a very fair point about Yelich and whether or not he should start against LHP going forward.

I think this is right.

Turns out that “something” was Christian Yelich. Credit where credit is due.

I have so many questions! Was the play really that close at the plate? Why is William even out there?

In all excitement I forgot to post these two I saw on the way into the park. Personally I like the Made number-to-be-added-later a bit more, but the Hiulara jersey has its charms.

Ashby in the day after going 3 ups. Surely nothing bad could come of this.

They would have instantly replaced Matsui with Rodriguez. I’m not mad about that at all. OTOH, Murph leaning himself without a RHP to replace a clearly gassed Abner against France in the top of the inning was really stupid.

I wonder if there’s a “fake a pitch com malfunction” button catchers can push on pitch com?

The thing is, the Brewers are playing some truly shitty baseball so far in this series, so far below their standards, and they lead the series 1-0 and trail by a pair of runs in the 5th inning of Game 2. If they wake up, they’ve got this. Need something to change the mojo.

Third base umpire Quinn Wolcott is having a putrid performance today. That's hard to do as a third base ump!

Yeah, what they need is a nice long AB where they foul him off like 6-8 times. That shit always seems get teams back into the groove

They’re right around the zone, the padres just aren’t offering at anything close with two strikes. They’re just not giving us anything to work with.

These Padres batters are just super comfortable in the batters box right now. It’s extremely irritating.

This is like when my dad was getting deeper into Alzheimer's. He had no filter. He would increasingly say things like this and my mother and I decided we could no longer take him out in public. However, this is the President of the United States and there is no one to keep him away from a mic.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I mean, they had like 8 of the 10 best hit balls of the game. That it was close was an abomination!

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.
