2018-08-18: Brewers (Miley) at Cardinals (Mikolas) 6:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-2]

[YelichPosse]

The Brewers won the NL Central in 2011 by 6 games. It was never lower than 4.5 in the past few weeks. They were tied for the lead at the All-Star game. The season does not fit the they always start strong and then fade narrative that seems so common here.

 

I stand corrected what the heck am I thinking about . 2008. That’s what it was lol. Every year seems the same now days. My apologies.

No but '98, '99, '01, '06, '07, '08, '09, '14, '17, '18 do. All either leading the division or within striking distance around the all star break or later.

 

Of course they've also had a couple of years of the opposite where they fell behind so far early on that their late season run came up short '12, '13

08 is what I was thinking about. And 07 was a horrible collapse... so was 14 if I recall. My gosh this is depressing to think about lol

[PinaMadness]

About time.

Hey, CC taking one for the team. I'm impressed.

[Guest]

Nice to see CC with some fire. I have to admit I love it.

[rcc]

CC showing some fire!

 

Same post almost just a coincidence.

[Eye Black]

I don’t think there is any chance Miley was trying to hit him. This has the feeling of a long night already with the score still 0-0.

[monkeyman343434]

What an awful decision by the ump to issue a warning there. Good on CC for getting fired up with such a stupid call.

[YelichPosse]

CC getting tossed - will that be he catalyst for this team now?

 

Hasn’t things like this fired teams up in the past ? Can we please please please be that team for once!!!!?!?

Well, it fired up Shaw at least.

'06 is the second worst in my mind behind '07. The "Turnblow" season, 84 wins was all it took to win that division too...

That's why it just makes me laugh when people bemoan the Packers not winning a Super Bowl in a few years. Every recent "playoff failure" would be parade worthy if the Brewers did it.

[rcc]

Shaw crushed one out of there!

Exception that proves the rule?

Production from 2nd base and shortstop? Turning the corner!

It helps to have a certain middle infielder out of the lineup today.

Runs are tough to come by against Mikolas, but getting his pitch count up to 39 through 2 innings is a minor victory. Also really quality contact by both Shaw and Arcia on the first go around.

[PinaMadness]

Aaaaand the lead is gone.

[SomewhereInTime]

It's a very small sample, but Arcia is having a very nice month of August, he should be playing a lot more.

[82brewcrew82]

Eh, he barley got a hold of that one.

[Eye Black]

I could go for a barley pop, right now.
