The offense sucks.  It always has sucked. Thankfully it got hot for a couple week stretch

I don't know what's more sad. The fact your panties are in a bunch from me calling out your nonsense or the fact you're trying to fight me in person because of it. Either way it's absolutely sad.

I'm guessing your grandma isn't going to let you out of her basement. Like you said you have no problem meeting up so let's just do it. No big deal. You can go all Buster Olney on me with your stats.

Get 'em tomorrow, I guess. That was disappointing.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

Losing games with the Top 3 pitchers starting is bad. Turn around the next two games and take the series win, and tonight is just a bit of a blip on the radar. 

[willie key]

The only thing I ask for the rest of the year is no more

 

”we have burnes going today” posts like it’s an advantage before the game.       I think we’ve seen enough that it’s a 50/50 proposition this year

[JefferyLeonard]

Cubs-32-17 since the ASB They have lost only two freaking series in that time...2!! The real stretch that has kept them in this though is winning 10-11(8 in a row) after the first series back against the Red Sox which was one of two that they have lost. I mean the two biggest series that they won that I assumed they would likely get swept in, The Braves and @ Toronto. That shouldn't happen.

The Brewers are 27-19 since the ASB  and have lost 5 series.

Just one loss ! Come back and win the series ! 

At least on the positive side , we didn't burn our bullpen ! 

[Bulldogboy]

Burnes is no longer our game one starter. He has fallen down the ladder.

Another in a long list of blips on the radar

I'd move him down to 3 but he would  probably throw a fit.

[willie key]

Do we have games on the schedule where the third baseman makes three run errors anymore

At the moment it's even.

Brewers are 47-35 since June 1st. 7th best in the MLB in that time.

Brewers are 33-22 since July 1st. 6th best in the MLB in that time.

Brewers are 19-11 since August 1st. 6th best in the MLB in that time. 

Maybe we don't need to have meltdowns every single time this team loses a game. This isn't a 17 game NFL season or 12 game college football season. The Brewers are 2.5 games up in the division and 6 games up over the first team out of the WC race. The sky is not falling.

For me, im just tired of winning a game or two and being this close to putting any doubt out the window of making the playoffs,  and then,  lose two in a row to the cubs,  and then lose the last two games now.   I would love to just have a cruise to the finish line, and not have to wonder if a bad stretch is right around the corner.

Owen Miller forced that error and should definitely be on this roster over Hiura.

When the offense is as bad as this teams is nothing will ever be easy.

We are less than 7 days removed from a 9 game win streak.

We have played far too many games like tonight 

Those stats don’t change the reality of a bland team that has one of the worst offenses in MLB

We also have an ace who often pitches like a league average pitcher 

I’m very comfortable expressing my frustration on these in game threads

No amount of “get perspective - the sky isn’t falling” will alter my posts

Your positivity doesn’t change the fact that this team is not good enough to win anything if it sneaks into the expanded playoffs

The pressure is on the pitching staff every game! The metal gymnastics for the pitchers knowing that if the give 3 , 4 runs you probably will have a loss ! Makes for a very long season for these guys. If we didn't have this pitching we would be well under .500.

Yes sorry 9 game winning streak. But hey we lost to the Pirates so the sky is falling and they are trash and will miss the playoffs.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers say Hiura is a one demintional bat so there is really no room for him yet Rowdy is here and Anderson has gone into witness protection. I want to know more about this situation when season is done. There has to be more to it.
