Brewers control their own faith

[brewmann04]

OK Last week and the Crew controls it own destiny. It all we could ask for at this point and its time for the Crew to step up and earn a playoff spot. All Hands on Deck we can't afford to give away any late leads in any of these series.

I laughed too hard at this. But in all seriousness it's no more excuse time for the crew. Doesn't matter what happened over the first 50+ games, now is all that matters.

They've won four in a row. Who's going for free burgers with me on Sunday?

Getting game 1 here would be huge with Woodruff. Top of my head I think his last start was just so-so, so he's due for a good one tonight. Gray pitches tomorrow fresh off a DL stint I think for back issues, so who knows what you're getting there but its a good bet they're not getting last year or earlier this year level Gray.

 

Sure would be nice to dump on the Cards over the weekend and make the playoffs while eliminating them. I know in history it's usually the opposite, so it would be great to do it to them. Preferably with Braun delivering some kind of game winner on them.

 

I've been somewhat not into it this year with the weird year and the team being not great, plus NBA playoffs, but I think I'll be dialed in this week to see what happens

I have no doubt they will give it their best effort...........it will either be good enough or it won't.......hopefully Brewers can sneak in but if they don't I will still be grateful for the baseball we've had in 2020.

In 2017, it took all 162 games for the Brewers to miss the playoff by one game (when everyone was hoping for another top 10 pick coming into the season).

 

In 2018, they needed to play a 163rd game to figure out who won the division & who was a wild card.

 

In 2019, the Brewers did not punch their postseason ticket until the 158th game.

 

Four straight falls of compelling baseball with postseason implications sure has been a wild ride.

I laughed way too hard at this for an adult man

May the baseball gods smile down on the Brew Crew.

I could care less but the OP really should've done his do diligence before hitting submit.

you forgot to put this in blue as well, as it's as much a typo as saying "controlling their own faith."

Seven games left to find out if the 2020 Brewers truly are a team of density.

well day one of their Destiny did not go well

Brewers offense needs to show up this week. Way too many strikeouts again last night, and unproductive outs with men on base. The pitching will be there, consistent offensive production has been a question pretty much all year.

Another 3 Ks for Hiura last night. I know he occasionally runs into one, and it typically goes a long way, but for the most part, his at-bats have been disgusting this season. It's gotten to the point where I get up and leave the room during his at-bats, because it's so disappointing watching a player who has so much skill and talent, but evidently has no clue how to use it. I believe that Hiura has tremendous upside, but he's gotta get on top of his swing-and-miss tendencies, or I fear he's not going to have a long career. Thankfully he is very young, and there's still a lot of time for him to figure it out.

For all of the "contact hitters" Stearns brought in this year, here we are tied for 3rd most strikeouts in the league again this year.

Look no further than Yelich and Hiura for a big helping hand with that.

I'm honestly surprised we aren't 1st by a wide margin.

[Eye Black]

I hope they’re destined to either win 4 or more of their last 7 games, or else lose them all.

He's played below replacement level for sure this year. Makes me wonder how bad the hitters in our minor league system are when our stars are worse then what a random AAA guy would supposedly put up.
