July Predictions

[Baldkin]

I hate to do this but...

 

 

at Arizona (1-2)

Pittsburgh (2-1)

Colorado (2-2)

Cincinnati (2-1)

at San Francisco (1-2)

at St. Louis (0-4)

Houston (1-2)

Chi Cubs (2-2)

 

That gives me 11-16. The wheels come off.

[tigerbrew]

17-10

[tdeggie]

I'd say 15-12, we gain a game on the Cards for the WC and we DO NOT get CC

[TooLiveBrew]

at St. Louis (0-4)

Houston (1-2)

 

This is not baiting or 'flaming' you... I'd just really love to hear the thinking behind this part.

[eanelson4]

16-11. Simply based off of our current winning % on the road and at home multiplied by the number of games we have at both home and on the road.

[jhart05]

No record, I'm sticking with my original prediction from May...

 

Cubs come to town for that last series of the month up by two games in the standings.

 

It's a tied Central Division when they leave town.

[olliegjw]

To put things in perspective, a 15-12 record is equal to a 90 win pace. That being said, I predict 15-12.

[Oldcity]

It's going to be a great month. 17-10 with a new pitcher coming in within a couple weeks. Also, I can't believe the Cubs have any games left against Pittsburgh.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

A lot of optimistic predictions. I hope you guys are right.

[Ennder]

14-13 is my guess, I don't like this month.

[Blindcheck]

I think 15-12 is about what they will be...

 

I would be happy with anything above 15 wins.

[Schlitz001]

They can't go 0-27 anymore, so that's a start.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but did you get a chance to try that new Schlitz beer? Everywhere I check it's not there. I bet it's really good.

[rluzinski]

You guys are really predicting less than 10 losses? I know the Brewers have been playing better in the last month, but the odds of them continuing to win at above a .600 clip is pretty unlikely.

 

When things are going well, predictions are widely optimistic. When things are bad, everyone predicts death and famine. Just the way it is, I guess.

[owbc]

I'm a little late into this since we are already 2-0 in July but I can see us going 7-3 on the big homestand, 2-5 on the post-ASB roat trip, and hitting a rough stretch at the end of the month. That looks like about 15-12 or 16-11, which means they play about 1-2 over .500 from here to the end of the month.

 

Assuming things don't go terribly wrong, I can see why people are calling for 8-9 losses. This looks like our month to make a move on the Cubs. Hopefully we can have a shot at passing the Cubs when they come to MP.

[RightFieldCoder]

I'm a little late to the thread, but here is my prediction of a typical Yost led July:

 

2-1 @ Arizona

2-1 vs. Pittsburgh

1-3 vs. Colorado

1-2 vs. Cincinatti

(All Star Break)

1-2 @ San Fransisco

1-3 @ St. Louis

2-1 vs. Houston

1-3 vs. Chicago

 

That should give us a record of 11-16 in July. And we're already 2-0, so there are only 9 more wins left in the month.

I think the schedule is as big of a reason for the optimism as anything. With 17 of the 27 games at home, there is little to indicate that they would have to do much out of the ordinary to go 17-10. Less than 10 losses would obviously require an extra win or two, but perhaps it is not all that unlikley. I don't necessarily think it will happen, but does 12-5 at home, and 6-4 on the road really sound that out of line?

[NeedMoreFans]

I'll hop on a bit late...

 

2-1 @ Arizona

2-1 vs. Pittsburgh

3-1 vs. Colorado

2-1 vs. Cincinatti

(All Star Break)

2-1 @ San Fransisco

1-3 @ St. Louis

2-1 vs. Houston

2-2 vs. Chicago

 

That would be 16-11 for the month. I could also see 14-13 pretty easily, however.

[cwolf2012]

My totally legitimate and honest prediction of 27-0 is still on the cards.

[Team Canada]

11-5 so far, but the last 11 will be the real test..

[TooLiveBrew]

I had them at 9-7 to this point, so a 15-12 mark at this point would be a let-down. For a 're-guess', 17-10, only combining 11-5 with my initial guess.

[Ennder]

11-5 so far, but the last 11 will be the real test..

 

The 3-8 they have to go to make my 14-13 accurate is going to be very painful to watch if it comes true!

[Nottso]

They'll lose 2 in San Francisco, which will spawn a lovely round of "This season is over, Melvin stinks, Yost stinks, Prince stinks, the parking attendants stink, my mother never loved me, and my dog ran away."

 

They'll close the month taking three of four from the Cubs, which will lead to a board filled with, "Cubs stink, Piniella stinks, I knew they were a fluke, extend Melvin's deal, keep Ned forever, Counsell is the glue of this team, I knew Dillon would become a power threat, I've just changed my son's name to Rickie."

Best post of all time. Well done, sir. Well done.

[brewcrew00]

I need an 8-3 mark over the next 11 days... I hope my prediction is right!

[zzzmanwitz]

11-5 so far... I'd be a little disappointed if my 17-10 prediction were correct. But only a little. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
