Guys - I'm terrified of this series.

 

Any word on Shaw yet - has anyone heard?

[pacopete4]

Say they go 1-3, are we knocked out of the playoffs? Bad stretches occur for every team. Just gotta fight through them if you want to find yourself in the playoffs.

Oh I agree... I just hope we aren't regressing back to where we "should" be. Sucks that when the Cubs slump, so do we. Would love to build a cushion up!!!

I think we've had .500 weeks three weeks in a row now. If they play .500 rest of the year they're still going to win 88 or 89 games. Obviously should strive for better but if your bad weeks are .500 you're doing ok. Just get the first 2/3 and play with house money on Sunday.

The good news is, though the Reds have been hotter recently, the Brewers have had their number pretty much every game this year. We'll see which wins out this series.

Mathematically, no. But who knows. Wasn't it a sweep by the Reds last year that pretty much put this team in the dumps.

[tmwiese55]

Cubs play Kershaw today. Hopefully he's back to his old self. Crazy that with his rough and injured year his ERA is still below 3.

[BrewCrewBlueDevil]

Try this?

 

Villar 2B

Braun RF

Yelich CF

Aguilar 1B

Thames LF

Perez 3B

Miller SS

Pina C

Guerra

[pacopete4]

I’d go:

 

Yelich- CF

Braun- RF

Thames- LF

Aguilar- 1B

Miller- SS

Villar- 2B

Perez- 3B

Pina- C

Guerra- P

Houser was sent out after yesterday's game. I wonder where the ball will fall on the "reliever roulette" wheel for tonight's game? Lopez again? There is a spot open on the 40-man. Could we see Burnes?

Not even close. No Cain and maybe no Shaw; that's a pretty big part of this teams offense. Who knows what happens before the trade deadline. Also, the Cubs are a team with their own issues. If this was the end of July, I would be a bit more worried.

Cool seeing Miller at 2B, but I think I'd rather see him at SS. Nice to see Shaw back in the lineup.

I hope Travis is really good to go for the game. I think he is a ballplayer who is tough and wants to play. When he was hit in the head by a ball on second base he was only out a couple of days. I respect his toughness and hope he does well tonight to prove that he is okay because the team needs him.

He's from Ohio too. Hope that has nothing to do with him being in the lineup tonight.

I have it on good authority that Shaw will hit 2 home runs to prove he's really ready to come back today.

 

[brewerswinNLcentral]

If we split the next 4 games, it would be ok.

The brewers have went 10-12 this month.

Lets just say they go 16-14 for each of the next 3 months.

That should put us in great shape.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

thames,yelich, aguilar, shaw, braun, miller,kratz and arcis is what they are putting out per haudricorts tweet

[brewerswinNLcentral]

I say thames and shaw homer and brauny gets a 2 run double and we win 6-4

[KeithStone53151]

I'm hoping for the best with shaw, but I'll be super critical if he has bad at bats right away... and even more critical if he injures himself. I do hope I'm wrong and he does well today.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

I think shaw is whisker from being on the 10 day DL.

Hopefully he works thru it and gets healthy.

Or, isn't it awesome that our slump is not affecting us negatively because of the Cubs' slump?
