If Chourio can ever figure out how to hit fastballs well he's going to really take off. 

He's only 22. He's only going to get better.

It feels sacrilegious to compare the Cubs to Team Streak.

Now the lineup is Jenga with Yelich leading off? Chourio is not a two and of course k. Murphy will never get this right.

Since Murphy took over in 2024 the Brewers have scored the 4th most runs in MLB despite being 24th in home runs.

Going back to May 18th of last year the Brewers have scored thee most runs in MLB despite being 27th in home runs.

You don't think Murphy is getting the most out of his mostly powerless lineup? There's a lot more room for downward mobility than upward from where they're sitting.

Chourio has a 128 wRC+ over 528 PA batting second in his career (his most PA of any lineup spot). How is that not a two?

That was quite a year. Also had the Rob Deer 9th inning game tying home run off Mark Clear  in that 13 game streak.

And nieves no hitter

I love when someone gives an unresearched hot take and Sveum comes in and detonates it with a bucketload of data. It's the most polite "you are wrong" we have here and it's my favorite thing.

He's not a dick about it either.

Yes for sure. I'm just saying he's been like 15th percentile hitter in run value against FB as a pro and has been like 98th percentile against offspeed and breaking pitches. If he can figure out how to hit FB, he's going to be a mega star.

Meh.  It's mostly because it's not June and they've already had double digit winning streaks (twice already) and now losing streaks.

Yup and there tied in the cellar with the Pirates. 

Tied with the Pirates who just spanked them & have a superior run differential

100% convinced it's going to happen.

Yeah I think so as well. There's really no reason he shouldn't be able to hit fastballs well. He has really quick hands and has great all fields power. We've seen him hit fastballs really well just a matter of doing it consistently.  Maybe just a pitch recognition thing? 

[Bulldogboy]

Counsell on a some what hot seat and so is David Stearns. Those guys helped build something here but got greedy. Shame

Yeah, I knew where you were going with it. I almost put my comment in blue, but 1987 was the year I was locked in as a Brewer fan.  And certainly the funnest non-playoff team in Brewer history.  Plus my therapist says that I'm almost worked out my issues with the Twins winning the WS that year with a worse regular season record than the Brewers, while the Brewers finished third... Nope, not bitter at all!

I'm a fan of using Uribe here

[willie key]

At some point you have to root for some of these guys Arnold traded away to be good.    Or no one is ever going to trade with us.     I’m only half joking too

[wiguy94]

Uribe is definitely going to get an earful in the dugout for that

[sdbrewfan]

We're not even mentioning Teddy's 32 game scoreless inning streak in '87. 

[folly412]

I only learned a few days ago that pitchers were allowed to challenge since it seems it's both rare and for us, never happened before that.  Not sure why they wouldn't just let the catcher handle it.

They sure did, they gambled  and not as happy as they once were. 

[HarryDoyle]

Seems silly to challenge with a 6-0 lead in the eighth.

Top five starter in brewers history imo

Both Arnold & Murphy are better than these two greedy ex-Brewers

He is struggling is my guess.

As he should.  Biggest obstacle to his success is between his ears.  Ironically, it's also what helps make him, as is true for a lot of us.  He's better at harnessing it than he once was, but there's still some growth to undergo.
