are the brewers that much better than the rays this series? the 1st two games were 1 run games that the brew won at hone. other than the blowout in game 3, this seems like two evenly matched teams just based on the scoreline, but i havent been watching closely. |

similar style of play but brewers lineup is deeper and bullpen is stacked |

Date: October 28th, 2026 12:31 PM Author: Historical American (Counter-Abraxian) A bunch of grifters took over the sport with a different wrong kind of strategy called Drive Line. These guys went to every team and said we hacked batting entirely, it's all about something called Launch Angle. We're going to teach everyone on your team to hit way more home runs if they use the drive line system and they figure out the best launch angle of the ball your home runs will go way up. A lot of big clubs thought these guys were geniuses and started looking for guys who came up in the system on drive line. Turns out they were totally wrong and small ball was undervalued and driveline is fucking stupid. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5914817&forum_id=2#50209531) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 12:43 PM Author: Historical American (Counter-Abraxian) They have the best nerds. Their nerds are better than your nerds. Dodgers and Yankees cover up problems with money. You have a problem, buy more players. Big clubs throw money around.
Tampa is tiny and Milwaukee is the poorest major city in the US. They don't have that kind of revenue. They don't have the Dodgers TV contract which covers an area of like 20 million people. They don't have 7 owners with fat pockets writing the checks. They have to do small ball. They can't do big free agent signings. They can't just pay Shohei Ohtani out the ass. They don't have the dough. So yes they try and solve their problems a different way. They hire lots of nerds. They have a front office that's full of the best nerds. They have huge staffs of nerds who are all small ball gurus trying to squeeze every last drop of performance out of every dollar.
The Dodgers and Yankees have shit nerds. Their nerds suck. They don't have the best nerds because they are focused as an organization of spending shitloads of money on superstars. They can't get in the mind of Tampa and Milwaukee because they're not Tampa and Milwaukee. What's funny is that they do have nerds — every team has nerds — but their nerds aren't any good. Because to be good at nerds, nerds have to be your only option in life. It's like how America can't copy Taiwan Semiconductor. Our life doesn't depend on therefore we're not any good at it. Taiwan needs to be the best at semiconductors because their whole economy and sovereignty depend on it being the best. That's how it is. |

Date: October 28th, 2026 12:50 PM Author: richard clock their nerds are truly better. but the rays arent always into smallball, they keep themselves nimble by rarely signing long term contracts and can adapt to market weaknesses. when low average with power was undervalued, they'd go there. they've exploited undervalue and underuse of bullpen arms. they pitch the shit out of their guys while under team control and leave the dumb larger teams to sign them for big contracts when their arm blows up. theyve exploited undervalue of defense and platoon effects. actually makes for a pretty boring baseball product, and their fan base sucks, but they are way ahead of everyone. brewers started catching on more recently.

Date: October 28th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: Historical American (Counter-Abraxian) Every small market team has an amazing bullpen lol
And the Brewers have been coming on strong for like 5-10 years. They didn't come out of nowhere.
The Rays would do well to push their chips in the middle one of these days instead of accumulating World Series losses. The live to fight another day mentality gets you exactly where they are. Heading for an 0-3 record in the Big Dance. At some point you have to say fuck it and go all in. |

Date: October 28th, 2026 1:05 PM Author: zarathustra it’s much better and more entertaining baseball except for the bullpen use but that’s not even abnormal in the playoffs anymore. it’s just that nobody gives a shit about these franchises. 3 runs on 12 hits is much better baseball than 4 runs on 4 hits with a lineup full of .220 hitters (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5914817&forum_id=2#50209626) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: Historical American (Counter-Abraxian) They need to limit this challenge replay bullshit. There were 6 million pitches last night autistically reviewed. Disrupts the flow. You should realistically get 2 challenges per game. You shouldn't get to keep them even if you win. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5914817&forum_id=2#50209638) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 1:22 PM Author: Historical American (Counter-Abraxian) I don't care if you would have gotten 6 right in a row they need to pull the plug after 2.

|
Date: October 28th, 2026 1:09 PM Author: zarathustra besides above commentary on good analytics departments they are optimized for playoff baseball which prioritizes run manufacturing because frequent pitching changes disfavor reliance on power against fresh arms. if you look at runs produced by power vs small ball in the regular season it’s mostly the former and in the playoffs it flips.

|
Date: October 28th, 2026 1:16 PM Author: zarathustra velocity drops, breaking balls hang, pitches miss spots. in the regular season season you’re managing for 162 games with an off day once a week at most, in the playoffs you’re managing a series with two off days and gaps between series. more changes and arms stay fresher and you can dip into the rotation in relief if needed.

Plenty of teams have won the World Series largely built on power hitting. |
