@lambeausouth posted:One player after another in the Brewers lineup with a sub 100 OPS+ is incredibly frustrating.
We’re seeing the results of parity right now.
The Mets have a $305 million payroll.
The Brewers $105.8 million, and $26 million is in Christian Yelich, who is out for the season.
We’re effectively seeing a Mets team with four times the payroll of the Brewers. This is baseball in the year 2024, and it sucks for small market team fans.
And Miley is another 7 million of that
Marte looks safe,on the review. Called out on the field. Overturned. Safe at 2nd.
Megill warming up.
Megill relieving Montas. 2 down, in the 4th.

Rhys Hoskins 98 OPS+
Brice Turang 85 OPS+
Blake Perkins 81 OPS+
Sal Frekick 83 OPS+and
Joey Ortiz 101 OPS+
Ortiz is a rat hair better than league average where park adjusted OPS is concerned, and five of our nine hitters are below league average.
You can’t win a World Series with this lineup.
Their starting pitching isn’t that good either.

And what about Bauers and Monasterio as their pinch hitters off the bench?
This is the 4th time this year that Megill has pitched multiple innings.
Megill balks!
Please God. Can we please get this run home, make it 3-2? Pretty please?

That part worked.
I just watched a clip from a Mark Attanasio interview on October 1st where he was talking about the decisions the team had to make this year, the changes and opportunities that were presented.
“It was a real challenge to decide whether or not to trade Corbin Burnes, but the opportunity to get Joey Ortiz and DL Hall is the other side of that.”

Payamps relieving Megill.
We get it back to a one run deficit, and Payamps appears on the mound again.
Heaven help us.
Payamps goes from 0-2 to walking Martinez
Sigh…
Marte singles. Runners at 1st and 2nd. Nobody out.
First and second one out, Payamps on the mound. What could possibly go wrong here?
Taylor pops out. 1 down. Alvarez grounds out to Payamps. 2 down. Lindor up.
Murphy gets in on the fun. Jeez!
Payamps?
Joe Ross has only
given up 6 runs in his last 26 innings since coming back and he’s fresh and you go to Payamps?
PAYAMPS STRIKES OUT IGLESIAS!
Okay, let’s go offense. We need some runs.
Mitchell caught stealing 2nd. 2 down.
He’s out. I don’t agree with stealing there.
And just like that, the inning is over.
Sigh. I’m not a drinker, but I’m thinking about changing that.
Need base runners, and they run themselves out of the inning.
Hoskins has not been clutch.
I’m ready for the Kelces’ 15 minutes of fame to be up.
Koenig relieves Payamps.

Exactly.
This team just continues to shoot itself in the foot.
Ross relieving Koenig. 2 outs with a runner on 1st.
Man, that could have been disastrous. Martinez nutted that thing. Thank God it was right at Ortiz.
Stanek has given up 8 home runs in 55 innings this year, and walks 4+ per 9. This is where we need to strike. Now!
Mets with the third highest walk rate as a pitching staff in baseball, and the Brewers have drawn two walks in almost 16 innings.
The Brewers haven’t come from behind after the 6th inning to win a playoff game in 42 years.
unfortunately Frelics, Ortiz and Turang aren’t a threat to add to the HR total that Stanley has given up.
The last time the Brewers came back to win a playoff game when trailing after 7 innings...game 4 of the 1982 World Series.
Geez.

A reverse Sabathia trade.
