Why not 10-0 then?

A roadtrip to remember.

[Brewcrew82]

Sad thing is now we need the White Sox to start winning again. Hopefully Robert is back on Tuesday.

Both clubs are 9-1 in their last 10.  A little cooldown isn't a crazy prediction.  Heck, maybe we take a series!

Let us hope they are overconfident.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not a terrible pitch, low and away. Just golfed it into the gap.

[Joseph Zarr]

Contreras is really really good horizontally. I continue to be pleasantly surprised, almost on a game-by-game basis, how he plucks those balls in the dirt. Mejía loses the chance for the Crew to take the League lead with 13 shutouts. Boooooo.😭

[82brewcrew82]

Jeepers, killing the pythag.

[willie key]

Everytime with these scrub relievers.    Everytime

[willie key]

Well.     That was interesting.     Thank god monasterio was in the right place 

[folly412]

At least it's over.  Mejia stinks.  Next AAAA reliever please.  

[RobertCrawley]

SWEEP for the first place Brewers! Life is good.

You gents have a wonderful evening.

[Matt Breen]

Glad it's done. 

Good win.

 

[Joseph Zarr]

I can't tell you the number of outings I saw Mejía suffer those ridiculous dribbler hits in Nashville. AND, the problem with those is he would do what he just did...give up several runs. It is often harder than it needs to be in his appearances.

[HarveysWBs]

It's good to be reminded who should not be even sniffing high-leverage situations...

[Brewcrew82]

With Mejia doing this, who ya got for us next in that last bullpen spot @Joseph Zarr?

I mean, would they be scrubs if they didn't?

[Brewcrew82]

Brewers back to having the third best record in the NL, too. 

[willie key]

Brewers took care of business for once.     Acting like they want to be in the postseason.     

[willie key]

All the wild card hopefuls have some tough series coming up too next week

Great ? I am at the odd place where I don't actually have a ton of confidence in the Sounds bullpen at present. Even their best arms have scuffled some in the past month. IF I were the Brewers, I'd be looking at some type of Lauer/Gasser thing as a multi-tool multi-inning or short-inning arm. Naturally, you could always swap out LHP Clayton Andrews in Mejía's current role but he hasn't been as sharp as he was earlier in the season - he has been better recently but I am unsure how his recent call-ups sit with the brass. RHP Thyago Vieira has taken the closer role back and, tho effective, still puts too many men on base for my liking. Lower on that 'throw them in the fire and see where they land' would obviously be Megill or Small (who has thrown very well recently). But, again, the options are not as primo as they were earlier this season...which is unfortunate.

What about the ladies in the forum?

[Underachiever]

I think I heard earlier in the week that no team had more than a 2.5 game lead in the Central at any point this season.

Yeah. I think they need to decide soon if they want Gasser stretched out through the end of the season as the 6th rotation option or if they'd rather go Lauer/Rea/Teheran. If the former, then they should start getting Gasser some relief work in AAA. Would be a way to manage his innings, too.

The way these postseason rules work who really cares if your the third division winner or a wild card
