April Prediction Thread

[splitterpfj]

OK, let's hear it...what will the Brewers' record be in the month of April?

 

They play...

 

at SF - 3

Chi - 3

Cin - 3

at NY- 3

at Phi - 3

at Hou - 3

Pit - 3

AZ- 1

 

Only two off-days in April...I don't think I've ever seen that. 10 at home, 12 on the road...the Giants' top pitchers, the Cubs, Mets and Phillies...the guys had better be ready to go!

 

I say 11-11

[razzzorsharp]

10-12, though I don't ever want to jinx the Brewers by predicting they will do good.

[tigerbrew]

13 - 9. I'm confident of the 2009 Brewers.

[pitchleague]

at SF - 3 games-- I think they'll go 2-1

Chi - 3 game-- I think they'll go 1-2

Cin - 3 games-- I think they'll go 3-0

at NY- 3 games-- I think they'll go 1-2

at Phi - 3 games-- I think they'll go 1-2

at Hou - 3 games-- I think they'll go 3-0

Pit - 3 games-- I think they'll go 3-0

AZ- 1 game-- I think they'll go 1-0

 

so that makes a 15-7 start. I'd take that.

[DHonks]

I'm guessing 14-8 should suffice.

[brewcrew00]

Tough clip to start, but put me down for 12-10. Possibly adding another win or two, but pitching scares me. I see the Brewers losing a couple in slugfest fashion.

[Oldcity]

at SF 1-2 Chi 2-1 Cin 2-1 at NY 0-3 at PHI 2-1 at HOU 2-1 PIT 3-0 AZ 0-1 12-10

[Ennder]

12-10, the start is ugly but then we beat up on the Pirates and Astros to pull back over .500.

[owbc]

They're swinging the bats well right now, I expect them to get off to a big start. 13-9.

[RightFieldCoder]

I'm predicting 9-13.

[theavrock]

Mark me down for 13-9

[bensheeps]

12-10. An ok start especially figuring games against tough competition in the Cubs, Mets and Phils.

[slack00]

I'll say 10-12. The 9 game road trip is going to be tough. The Mets and the Phillies are damn good, and I've read an article from a sportswriter who believes that the Astros don't have any holes. (This is going to be funny all year long, especially when they're struggling towards the end of the year.)

That puts me at 12-10

We may only have 2 off days, but it is effectively a 24 day month.

13-9 for me.

[berniebrewer4life]

12-10.

[DonMoney4Mgr]

10 and 12, including being shutout twice. Once by Lincecom and others on opening day. And the second by Z against the Cubs.

[DougJones43]

at SF - 3 games-- I think they'll go 1-2

Chi - 3 game-- I think they'll go 1-2

Cin - 3 games-- I think they'll go 2-1

at NY- 3 games-- I think they'll go 1-2

at Phi - 3 games-- I think they'll go 0-3

at Hou - 3 games-- I think they'll go 2-1

Pit - 3 games-- I think they'll go 2-1

AZ- 1 game-- I think they'll go 1-0

 

Total: 10-12

[thablingster]

at SF - 1-2

Chi - 1-2

Cin - 2-1

at NY- 1-2

at Phi - 0-3

at Hou - 2-1

Pit - 3-0

AZ- 1-0

 

I'll go with an even .500, 11-11 heading into May. The pitching will struggle early and probably blow some late leads without Hoffman in the bullpen, but we'll start to see the team come together by the end of the month and right the ship.

[bucks2281]

@ SF: 2-1

CHC: 2-1

CIN: 1-2

@ NYM: 1-2

@ PHI: 0-3

@ HOU: 2-1

PIT: 3-0

ARZ: 0-1

 

11-11. Mid-April will be rough (Villanueva will blow two saves), but ending the month against the Astros and Pirates will help to right the ship.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I don't think the Cincinnati series is going to be as easy as some the predictions above make it look. I'll take an 11-11 start and bank it because the schedule has to get easier than that as the season goes on.

[phxMILWfan]

at SF - 3 2-1

Chi - 3 1-2

Cin - 3 2-1

at NY- 3 1-2

at Phi - 3 1-2

at Hou - 3 1-2

Pit - 3 2-1

AZ- 1 1-0

 

11-11 and I'd be thrilled with that record after a tough first month. Having opening day as an off day really hurts. None of the guys want that day off and it doesn't allow them to rest when they need it. Anything better than a .500 month would be awesome.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Tom Handricourt actually discusses that in a recent blog post. He said basically that the Giants were being greedy trying to get an extra exhibition game in. That's kind of crappy that another team can affect our schedule like that. I guess it's pretty minor though and money comes first.

[phxMILWfan]

I don't mean to steer the thread in a different direction but after reading TH's blog I really hope the Brewers take the first chance they have to screw over the Giants with a scheduling decision. Late game on get away day or something along those lines.

[bucks2281]

Not mention the Giants scheduling a late game on Thursday, forcing the Brewers to push back our Friday game to 3:05 pm.
