Let's Go Brandon!

Let's make the Reds Greene with envy!

I know it’s hard to sweep 3 games series let alone 4 gamers, but it almost seems like a must at this point. The Reds are awful and we’ve got Woody and Burnes both going in this series. Time to take care of business.

Probably more an indication that individual wins don't matter more than anything but with a victory today Brandon Woodruff will have his first 12 win season.

It's go time. The Phillies have 4 against the Braves while we have 4 against the Reds. It has to happen now.

Seriously?

I think the Brewers have to gain at least one game, if not two or more, this weekend to have a realistic chance of passing the Phillies.  
 

Although the Phils have 10 road games remaining after this weekend, the first 7 of those games are against the Cubs and Nats. Those aren’t teams you want to be looking to for help. The last 3 are against the Astros who are going to be more interested in getting ready for the playoffs than going all out for wins. 
 

If the Brewers don’t gain a game this weekend, the Phils magic number to eliminate them would be down to 7, and they could make a big dent in that in their games against the Cubs and Nats. The Brewers would almost have to win out to put pressure on them.

OK. I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that I’ve never seen you post “Let’s Go Corbin” or much of anything else that isn’t followed by a rhyme.

I think you're wishin' or fishin' here ... assume the best ... be at rest. 

[Brewcrew82]

Need the sweep here. Woody can hopefully start us out on a good note.

Look, we all get what you're referring to, but in this case, I think you're making big a deal out of nothing. 

And I'm pretty sure he has posted "Let's Go Corbin", or something along those lines in the past.

The Cardinals are now four innings into their 5th game without scoring a run in regulation. 

They won 1-0 in 11 innings on Saturday, followed that up with 3 straight shutouts, and are trailing 2-0 in the 4th today. 

Related to that, the Padres have gone through their whole rotation without a starter giving up a run

A sweep would (probably) make things a lot more favorable for the Brewers.

[Brewcrew82]

Funny how despite all of our frustrations and wanting to fire Stearns and Counsell, this will still end up being one of the better seasons in Brewers' history. But also really sad. Oh well, better days are ahead!

[Brewcrew82]

We sure know how to hit dingers against Greene.

I'm gonna let that slide in the interest of Brewer unity. ?

Also.... posts from my phone are likely to be incomprehensible or easily misconstrued due to various factors.

[Nola Beery]

Do we HAVE TO cheer for StL to beat the Padres?

Greene was giving up a lot of homers the first 2ish months of the season to everybody, but he's been much better since then averaging about 1.5 HR/9IP.
