Re: 2018 Playoffs
Please don't end up Boston versus LA. There literally isn't a world series you can put together where I can't find a way to root for a team less. (note: IF a Yankees Sox world series was possible, it would be worse)

Re: 2018 Playoffs
with 2 games in Milwaukee I wouldnt be sounding too confident... That being said, the brewers offense needs to get their head out of their collective ass.

Re: 2018 Playoffs
It's definitely far from over, but I feel like they've got a good shot of winning 1 of 2 instead of having to win 2 in a row, despite MIL being at home.

Re: 2018 Playoffs
Someone is going to pay this guy a few hundred million next season... shame

This guy so doesn’t deserve that god given talent. Maybe he grows up and realises what blessing he has to be where he is.
What a game last night. Who would have thought playing your best players might a great idea.
Insane Dave Roberts had Bellenger benched in games 1 & 2. Even Muncy...
I don’t think Sabermetrics is as effective during the playoffs as it seems to be in the regular season.

Re: 2018 Playoffs
I mean, even if Bellenger struggles against Sale or Price, at least he’s in there, seeing pitches and getting swings. Expecting him to perform in a single AB late in the game cold as a pinch hitter against a flame throwing reliever is too much.
Sometimes you have to have faith in your guys.

Re: 2018 Playoffs
Sabermetrics is just as useful in the playoffs as it is in the regular season. It's just knowing the odds. A poker player wants to make the same bet in crunch time as they do in a social game...but the visibility is higher in the crunch, and when it doesn't work its harder. I mean, if you actually know the odds of one bet over the other is 52%/48%, you'd best go with the 52%. But 52% still loses pretty often.
That said, I'm a believer also in the idea that the game is played by human beings, too.
Of course, you can't win either way. I mean, Grady Little was pilloried for leaving a Hall of Fame pitcher in the game in the 8th to blow a three-run lead. Sabermetrics says that was a dumb decision. Was it a 52% decision? A 40% decision? Who knows. All you can say is that it blew up.
So either way you roll the dice and take your chances.
