When we’re getting slaughtered in a Harrison versus washed up Walker Buehler matchup, we are in deep trouble.

I was just looking over at yesterday's thread, and being that this could be a difficult, pivotal road trip, I thought you regular IGTers needed a playful poke, just to tease you a little bit... L

Surfing through an IGT is akin to shopping at Walmart at 2 a.m. Yes, you will eventually find what you are looking for, but to get there, you're going to have to push through a few drunks, a handful o

It’s just funny when you check the IGT and you see people say Brewers won’t make the playoffs, Cubs are gonna pass them, seasons over etc and it’s a 3-1 game in the 4th  Always the same few peopl

Durbin, Monasterio, and Seigler have a combined WAR of 5 this season, and Harrison, Drohan and Hamilton have a combined WAR of 4.8 this season, for those who wore themselves out running victory laps around Fenway earlier this season. 

I will still take victory laps for this trade.  Durbin, Monasterio and Seigler for a #1/2 type pitcher and a #4/5 type pitcher is a win every time even with adding in the pick.  

People were calling for Monasterio and Seigler to be DFA'd at points in time in the season last year.  Hamilton and Seigler have been about equal in terms of value so far this year.  Durbin has been a little bit more valuable than Ortiz so far this year.  

That means Harrison and Drohan have gotten the most value in that trade.  If you give up 3 players and one pick and two out of the three players who are starting pitchers are equaling the positional players you gave up that is an absolute win.  

The Brewers gave up one above average infielder, an average utility player, a wet sock and a draft pick for two rotational pieces and a wet sock.  That is always going to be a win you take a victory lap on.  The positional players should have a higher WAR as they have more opportunities to improve that number.  With them not having a higher WAR it is an absolute loss for the Red Sox.  The WAR says its about even but when you look at the players given up and where the positions they are playing it is an absolute win for the team that is getting this much WAR from starting pitchers.

Shouldn’t really be that hard to figure out, it’s not really a slight against Bauers, I said he was having a very nice season, but when your best hitter is an almost 31 year old journeyman with a career 94 OPS+, it means you had almost no one else among your core players that outperformed offensive expectations. You can’t be carried by one guy. 

I'm sorry but the idea things went poorly because the best hitter has a 140 wRC+ just doesn't make much sense. Who do you think should have a wRC+ better than 140? In the last 15 years the Brewers have only had 3 players have a qualified season with a wRC+ over 140.

Some of y'all better be careful. Those who don't watch the game will come back and make fun of you for being reactionary while this team is in 1st place. 

Maybe some of these people weren't alive in 2014.

Is the #1/#2 pitcher in the room with us?

Pitchers do have bad games from time to time.  Is this your first time watching baseball?

I'm sure the "adults" will chime in tomorrow to tell us how awful the IGT was after this wonderful game.

12th game in 12 days with still 5 more to go... these guys look gassed all around. 

Crazy to have two 17 in 17 stretches scheduled, plus a stretch of 16 and another 13.

I'd love to know how we got scheduled a 17 in 17 with a west coast road trip on both ends of it.

I feel bad for Bryse, he's probably going to throw 60 pitches and then get DFA'd again because he can't take up a roster spot while he's resting for 4 days.

No, just the first time I’ve heard someone refer to Kyle Harrison as a “#1”

So Murph can come out to the postgame presser tonight and say “I’m not making any excuses for the guys, but” and then follow it with this anecdote.

Serious question. How many wins do you think it will take to get to the playoffs even as a wild card?

I'd bet 13 more wins getting to 87 would be enough to make the postseason.
