Who Starts Game 1 of the postseason?


I personally think Tobias should but Murph will probably start Freddy first

  1. Freddy for sure, but he’ll be on a super short leach. Everyone will be. Clearly the strength of this team is not starting pitching so any sign of struggle should be end of the road. I think several of the starters will make long relief appearances until they can get through 6 then they’ll go to their traditional relief pitchers. They’re fortunate to have a bunch of guys that can eat multiple innings.

  2. BAH GAWD KING, THAT’S BRANDON WOODRUFF’S MUSIC!!!

    Wishful thinking, but it’s probably going to be Freddy just based on tenure.

  3. Freddy as he has more experience. I would pull starters before the third at bat by the other team. That seems to always be the toughest round and we have a great bullpen

  4. No starting pitcher should throw more than 4 innings regardless of who it is. With how off-day heavy the playoffs are, ride the bullpen as long as you can. Don’t leave it to chance, especially with how homer-prone almost all of the SP options are.

  5. I’m not sure Tobias is even on the postseason roster for the best of 3 series. He’s a rookie and he’s been a little shaky lately. You really only need 3 starters for a 3 game series so it’s likely gonna be Freddy, Montas, and Rea/Civale with one of the latter going to the pen. You get 13 pitchers max and I’d imagine the brewers strategy will be to have a bunch of relievers for those 3 games. Maybe Tobias gets one of those relief spots but they do have a ton of options. Williams, Megill, Koenig, Ashby, Payamps, Hall, Ross, Hudson probably making it. That leaves the last spot for one of Myers, Paredes, Hoby, Pegeuro, and maybe Bryse or Mears if they are healthy by then.

  6. Freddy has done much better in the last 2 months. But Myers has been better for longer. However I think Freddy gets it because he’s the veteran

  7. They will use some combo of Ashby and the Megabullpen (likely with a different opener) for one of the games. And will win it.
