The Cardinals have been scuffling just as much as the Brewers. Aside from Goldschmidt and Brad Miller (lol), they don't have anybody doing anything of note.

 

The Cubs aren't getting any offense from Baez, Rizzo, or Bryant.

 

The Brewers aren't the only team with struggling superstars.

In Stearns We Trust
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

We need a "Has anyone gained confidence in Stearns" thread.

Brewers are 18-6 in the last 8 games of the season the last three years. 6-2 to continue the trend should easily carry us to the playoffs.

 

Edit to add: To further our optimism, in the garbage that is ESPN's power rankings, Brewers actually went down a spot from 17 to 18 this week.

The "this team is terrible" posts (and the posters who regularly type them) have gone silent. That might be the most optimistic thing that's happened in the past week ;)

 

The Hader haters still seem to trickle thru. LOL

I actually admit I have to eat some crow on the Vogelbach move. I didn't like it at the time, I said more or less one random bad dude is just as likely as another to get hot at a random time, it felt very much like shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. I still think it feels random, I don't think Stearns had any kind of an inkling of an idea that chunk from the Goonies was going to get hot suddenly in September, but I guess you have to give him credit when its due. :laughing

 

All that being said, if we keep the DH in the national league next year, I'll be happy to at least give the guy a chance to show that his first part of this season was the aberration. Maybe he's figured something out. I doubt he's a 300 hitter but we already know he's got power and the ability to draw walks. If Stearns truly has mined a nugget, I hope the DH sticks around and gives us a roster spot to give him some bats next year.

Obviously having a guy the shape and size of an Ewok playing 1B is not ideal, but I thought Vogelbach looked fine there on defense yesterday.

9th chance of the season to get over .500 upcoming. I think they do it this time. Even with Houser on the mound.

Yes! We have achieved peak optimism. :)

 

BTW I agree, the 9th time’s the charm!

I believe the Brewers are a better baseball team than the Cardinals, and for the next four days that should be all that matters.

The Brewers did it, they thread the ultimate MLB needle!

 

They made the playoffs AND earned a top 15 pick in next year’s MLB Draft!

You’re damn right we do!
