Brewers getting to the playoffs and doing well would be quite the Cinderella story

Brewers getting to the playoffs and doing well would be quite the Cinderella story

 

[Underachiever]

Yelich's sustained excellence was holding the team back. Now the Brewers will be a lot more unpredictable. Other teams won't know who is going to beat them on a particular night. The ultimate mind game.

Moose back in lineup tonight, Hiura reinstated from IL. #DoItForYelli

[HarveysWBs]

This team sits one game back of wild card position. Even a wild card team only needs to go 12-8 to win a title. If you can get in, you can win. Just reel in the Cubs (again!) and let it ride!

Healthy suter rules

Moose baby!!!!

[pacopete4]

9 GAMES OVER .500!!

[torts]

No surgery needed!! Out 6 weeks! Just in time for a world series pinch hit Homer to win it for us!

Cardinals vs Cubs in WC game. Pretty cool, one of them guaranteed to lose.

Brent Suter. Not sure I need to say more but I will. This cat has been a pivotal component of our team’s heart since he’s been called up several years ago. He is our identity. All he does is go out and pitch amazing, wicked smart baseball IQ, while keeping everyone in the clubhouse in good spirits. Suter since coming back from his injury has been dominant. So fun to watch and I’m optimistic that his run of success will continue while bringing an with him the fun/energy/passion/heart into the clubhouse.

 

Suter y’all!

I don't know why, but I'm optimistic about the Brewers making a run and getting to the post-season . . . and then making another run. Counsell has always seemed to me like someone who manages best - and gets the best out of his players - as an underdog!

Well hello playoff spot. 17 to go

Since the sweep by the Cubs the first weekend in August the Brewers have actually been playing good baseball and mostly against good teams. 19-11 over that stretch with only 2 series against bad team - Pirates and Marlins (who they have went 6-0 against).

 

6 wins (including the Cubs twice, Dbacks and a decent Rangers team) - 15-5

2 splits (against Twins and Astros) - 2-2

3 losses (twice to Cards and once to the Nationals) - 2-4

 

With playing bad teams better lately maybe that means the Brewers can really take advantage of this schedule coming up. They have one more game against the worst record in the NL, then series against the next 4 worst records in the NL with the Cards mixed in.

This is so fun! Finish off the sweep today Crew! Let's goooooo!

[pacopete4]

Ten games over .500!!

[torts]

I love this team

[Pugger]

Bravo to the guys for gutting out these wins after Yeli went down! It says a lot about the makeup of this group for them to keep winning after such a gut punch. The Marlins aren't very good but they do have some hitters on that roster and it isn't easy to sweep a team in a 4 game series.

[bjkrautk]

The Brewers have won 7 straight, and should be just a half game back from the Division lead when that streak hits 10 games this weekend.

 

EDIT: Since the Cardinals are playing right now, it'll either be a tie or a full game back by the end of the weekend. Still worth talking about!

RYAN BRAUN FOREVER

[pacopete4]

11 games over .500

11 games over .500

 

And suddenly, with the two series between the cubs and cards and playing teams that have given up- we control our own destiny. Wow

[torts]

ITS HAPPENING GUYS

[torts]

Never lose hope!!!!

[jjfanec]

This team has so much heart. If the make the playoffs CC deserves quite a few votes for manager of the year. Look at who we are throwing out there each days. This is crazy.
