Predictions for June

[TheCrew]

1 @ Reds

4 @ Marlins

3 v Mets

3 v Cardinals

4 @ Cubs

3 @ Red Sox

3 v Twins

3 v Rays

3 @ Yankees

 

12 Home / 15 Road

 

Hopes are high after this home stand but that is a tough road schedule (Marlins have been flying under the radar a bit).

 

My prediction: 14-13

[jjgott]

My Prediction: 15-12

[ilovebeer]

i will say 15-12

[craigharmann]

17-10

[thablingster]

I'll go 14-13, but I could easily see higher with a break here or there.

[paul253]

With the way they've been playing on the road and the fact that they are playing some darn good teams, I have to be a downer and say 12-15. Until they start winning away from Miller Park I just don't see them reaching that next level. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

[dlk9s]

Probably undefeated, but maybe one loss. Maybe.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'll continue being optimistic. 16-11 despite the tough schedule. 9-3 or 8-4 at home and 8-7 or 7-8 on the road. Something like that seems doable. Just gotta get things together on the road.

[Ennder]

I'll go with 13-14.

[Baldkin]

I have completely unrealistic optimism for the month of June.

 

20-7.

[NievesNoNO]

Yikes, that's a tough schedule. We should have a good barring on where we stand after June. 8-4 at home and 5-10 on the road. 13-14 looks about right. I'd like to give them more credit after the home stand but that's an awfully tough schedule. At least it's broken up some without an overly lengthy road trip.

[Funketown]

Ouch. Count me in at 13-14. Never mind, call it 19-8. Rationality is for suckers.

[YoungGeezy]

Tough month, I think if they can finish over .500 this month they will be in ver good shape...Red Soxs, Rays, Yankees, and Cards are all very good teams. Marlins are pretty good then the rival games in Twins and Cubs. Low end 12-15, high 16-11, be very happy with a 14-13 month. Anything lower than 12-15 will be big trouble dropping us 5+ games

[And That]

The Brewers play 20 in a row from June 3rd-22nd. That's a tough stretch. June will be a potentially much bigger grind than May should have been. I'd be happy with 14-13, though if they can carry their current momentum into Florida, 15-16 wins is possible.

[DocBrewPack]

21-6

[DHonks]

17-10, higher if we add Gamel to dh those 6 games

[PrinceEatMeat]

17-10, higher if we add Gamel to dh those 6 games

It's 9 games, but yes it would have an impact.

[DatHoser]

16-11 - no rhyme or reason, other than an uneducated guess when looking at the schedule. It doesn't hurt that the team is on a roll. Good things happen when pitching and hitting work together.

 

If they really go 16-11 or better, I see a playoff appearance as this is the toughest month of the year.

[bani1717]

11-16 due to the fact that we're hitting the road and due to the streaky nature of baseball

[DHonks]

17-10, higher if we add Gamel to dh those 6 games

It's 9 games, but yes it would have an impact.

only 6 that we're talking about in June, though. Still would be nice to have:

Weeks

Hart

Braun

Fielder

McGehee

Gamel

Lucroy

Morgan

Betancourt

 

Suddenly that's a solid lineup with even Betancourt being a solid 9th hitter in that he drives the ball.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yeah good point, forgot those last 3 were in July. But yeah, I'm loving that lineup.

[Oxy]

I'll be very surprised if Kotsay isn't the DH for most of those games, or perhaps Prince while Kotsay plays first. I'd rather give Gamel a crack at it, but I just don't think it's likely.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

12-15...I sure hope I'm wrong. Witnessing the '08 Boston Massacre in person has scarred my view of our ability to make it through interleague unscathed. I also think the Cards cool off a little so we'll be within 5 games at the end of the month.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'll be very surprised if Kotsay isn't the DH for most of those games, or perhaps Prince while Kotsay plays first. I'd rather give Gamel a crack at it, but I just don't think it's likely.

Yeah, it's sad, but probably true. Only thing that gives me hope is that Melvin said it was a good possibility before the season started.

[TheCrew]

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'd rather leave Gamel alone right now - bringing him up for 24-30 AB's probably isn't going to make a difference anyhow. My guess is that we'll see Kotsay and possibly Hart DH with Morgan drawing some starts, not saying I like it but that's my guess on what Roenicke will do.
