Nope. Better be at least swinging a good bat if you're going to get yourself picked off 2nd with 2 out. Nearing his .725 OPS sweet spot again. Thames needs to be starting over Braun for the next few games. I get starting Braun with a lefty on the mound but when a righty is pitching Braun needs a rest. I would start broxton over Braun at this point when Cain gets back -
Braun really isn't bringing much to the table right now.
-
Is there a reason Braun should start over thames when Cain gets back? I trust thames to have a better at bat that braun right now.

Teams on schedule that Crew haven't played yet

You play the Twins and Tigers who are two of the worst teams in baseball right now Well that and you have a bunch of guys who can hit all over your lineup. -
Something to make everyone take a moment ...

Without CC we don't make the playoffs With Brantley I don't think we make the playoffs anymore than we did. Thus I am happy -
What ss beside Machado are available for trade? Would love Miller to be our starting 2b going forward
-
Anderson at just 81 pitches. Very needed outing with hader going 3 yesterday. Jeffress is available for sure. Is knebel? Let's get a few more runs so we don't need him
-
Chase has been a lot better his last 3 starts and 4 of his last 5 now. I think he is key to the stretch run. Barring a trade we need him to be our ace
-
Trying to take my son to his first Brewer game in Milwaukee (we live in Minnesota). Figured I would check here before getting them from one of the online sites. Looking at the July 2nd game vs the Twins
-
Yeah. In the world series he pitched 7 innings and gave up 7 base runners with 11 ks. He gave up 3 runs and what 2 were in that one game. He was bad that game but great outside that
-
It won a world series and they still have a very good team so I don't think they are losing too much sleep. But you are right they gave up a ton for that series and then in subsequent trades. They will have a very expensive lineup and very old rotation in a couple years.
-
Thought I read that Kershaw was going to remain out for a while Kershaw pitched last night or the night before but did have to leave with back tightness. When I posted this he was ain't returning. Will be interesting to see what happens with his back
-
Yeah maybe he had nothing. I didn't have a lot of Stearns Moves I haven't liked though so I went with that
-
Interesting to have the Brewers losing 4 series and only winning 2. They have only lost 2 series since April 15th.
-
The Astros trade was amazing. Such a huge move for our team obviously. At the same time getting a 3b, 1b, and corner of who are all under contract for a while for Thornburg, brinson, Harrison etc is pretty huge. The top 4 of the lineup (right now the only good part) are all Stearns Moves.
-
I love Stearns as a GM. He has done this rebuild way faster than I could have hoped. I was thinking over his record as a GM and was wondering what others thought his best and worst moves were Best 1. Yelich trade. Just love the value they got. They sold high on guys and got a cornerstone player 2. Travis Shaw and Dubon for Thornburg. Shaw is underrated by many. Again another great sell high 3. Aguilar and Thames pick ups and signing. I cheated and put these together but they were the kind of under the radar moves that have solidified 1b for us while Braun struggles 4. Adam Lind trade. Loved the fliers and they have shown potential for sure. Worst 1. Gennett and pretty much all things 2b (love for Villar and so hard). Hard to find a worse move than this. I wasn't a huge Scooter fan but to get nothing for a guy who has aged as well as him is rough 2. Not trading high on Santana. This may be cheating too but Santana was ripe to be traded. He doesn't have a set role in this team and his production wouldn't be super hard to replace
-
What about Odorizzi instead. Twins are falling apart. Odorizzi wouldn't cost much. Cons are how much he struggles giving up home runs and what that might look like in Miller Park
-
If the Cubs go 19-9 I tip my cap to them. They have 7 against a Dodgers team that has been playing better and is getting Kershaw back. That have 3 on the road against the Brewers, Cards and Mets who are all above ,500. They have 3 against the Phillies who have a better record than them right now. They have 3 against an ok Pirates team and then 6 against the reds and twins who are bad. 4-3 vs Rodgers 5-4 vs tough road stretch 2-1 vs Phillies 2-1 vs pirates 4-2 vs twins 17-11 seems generous. I would say anywhere from 14-14 bottom end to 17-11 top seem likely. Their starting pitching is too inconsistent with Darvish being out and pitching poorly, Chatswood unable to throw strikes, and quintana struggling. They also have a bullpen that is pitching way over its head - probably .ore so that the Brewers. So if the Brewers bullpen is likely to come back to earth so is the Cubs. I think it does but their lineup gets more consistent. Brewers I would say 15-11 but anywhere from 13-13 to 17-9 wouldn't shock me
-
This team has 4 relievers who could close games. We have had years where it was hard to find one
-
Thames doesn't have to be a world beater in the of to be close to Braun and with who we have in the of now it would be even easier for him. It isn't like Santana or Braun are very good out there
-
Thames better get a lot of playing time when he gets back just not at the expense of Aguilar. Thames had an ops almost identical to where Thames was at coming into today. Can Thames play of with yelich and Cain? Braun and Santana are the guys who don't deserve the playing time when Thames gets back
-
I think there are reasons to think their rotation won't be as good as some thought. If it produces anywhere close to this throughout the year the Brewers are in good shape. No bullpen can to 3 plus every night without falling apart
-
What has been good about the Cubs rotation? One guy with an era under 4.4 and that is hendriks. Quintana and Darvish both have struggled. No starter has gone more than 6 innings. Their lineup is really good but their rotation has not started well.
-
Lance Lynn gives up a grand slam in his first inning as a twin. Didnt want him as a Brewer. He may shut the Pirates out the rest of the game and be great all year but I feel alright seeing him struggle right away
-
Twins look really bad with this in my opinion. It didnt break up a no-hitter. They ended up loading the bases - albeit not scoring. And like stout dude said they were implementing a shift! How is that any different?
