Dodgers verse Brewers- money ball.

[sikeston bulldog2]

Good morning.

Possible that this match up happens. Both lead two games to none.

Classic. Big money team and small money team. Couldn’t get a better disparaging comparison.

The Brewers continue their model of efficiency. Year after year. A very simple model.

The Dodgers continue their model, money money money.

Both are working. Brewers have no HoFers. Dodgers have 3? Maybe 4.

Great opportunity to see the results of two seperate models.

Brewers figured out what works for them and their market/ revenue. We need to do the same. We could start by not having those big black holes in the lineup. And 5+ era starting pitchers.

Good write. They certainly found a comfort zone. And it’s consistent. Can they take the next step. Couldn’t be a better measuring stick than a HOF ridden opponent.

For what ever reason the Brewers have become a very good team offensively. They aren't in the top 10 in slugging though they score a lot of runs. The odd things is that while their pitching is very good they are miserable in quality starts. Are these sustainable traits? So far they have been. With all this being said, the Dodgers are better offensively, but the Dodgers are worse pitching. We know the Dodger model is sustainable because they go out and buy what they want. To me it seems that the Brewers are more than the sum of their parts. A very interesting situation. The Phillies are number 1 in quality starts but are slightly worse than the other teams in offense. Very much feel that the Brewers are a team of destiny but momentum as they say is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher.

Nice response. Seems you are hinting at a Phillie demise.

Teams that are 2-0 in five game series, win 89 percent of time.

It's kind of looking that way but they still have a chance. They were number 1 in quality starts and it wouldn't be unheard of for them to string together 3 gems. Unlikely though.

Game two was an opportunity to win and tie series. Their starter was stellar. But they didn’t score.

Yep, they're competitive but slightly worse in scoring which is weird since they slug more. Who knows, they might come back and sweep the remaining games. They certainly have the talent level to do it.

Yes as you mentioned earlier momentum is a mother. Once it shifts it’s a force to be reckoned with. They have the potential to.

Being in LA doesn’t help.

Yep, that's got to hurt.

Good morning.

Possible that this match up happens. Both lead two games to none.

Classic. Big money team and small money team. Couldn’t get a better disparaging comparison.

The Brewers continue their model of efficiency. Year after year. A very simple model.

The Dodgers continue their model, money money money.

Both are working. Brewers have no HoFers. Dodgers have 3? Maybe 4.

Great opportunity to see the results of two seperate models.

Tough topic for me because the Brewers are my least favorite team. My favorite NLCS was 2011 knocking them and the loudmouth Nyjer Morgan out of it after all the stupid smack talk.

Unfortunately, if the Dodgers remain successful in buying the trophy, it is bad for the game overall and all other rivalries will mean nothing.

I know it’s best if Brewers take them down so maybe it will be sweeter to see their dreams get crushed in the World Series, preferably by the Jays.

Brewers bullpen has been the key. They have been extremely stingy in allowing runs. Give them a lead and it has been tough on other teams to bounce back . Last night was another example ... Brewers had a bullpen game and other than that 1st inning 3-run homer, the Cubs offense did nothing vs. the Brewer relievers.

Good morning to you too. A Dodgers /Brewers NLCS would be a rematch of the 2018 NLCS . IN that series, the Brewers also had the home field advantage as the Brew Crew did the last time. In that series, it was tied 3-3 with the Series returning to Milwaukee for Game 7. Dodgers won it on the road by a score of 5-1 with Walker Buehler the starter and Kershaw closing out the game. Red Sox won the WS in 5 games .

The Brewers stole 217 bases while the Cardinals stole 134. That's a lot more telling than just stolen bases.

By the numbers the Brewers are nearly interchangeable with the Dodgers in run scoring. Brewers - 4.98 R/G, Dodgers - 5.09. Brewers have a higher OBP & BA… they get on base, and make up for the lack of slugging by running the bases well.
