  1. Whew. too close for comfort. Would be nice to have an insurance run boys, just to give Megill something to work with besides a 1 run lead.
  2. Great job Shelby! Heart of the order coming up
  3. I just get the impression that Durbin's confidence and rhythm gets undermined if he's not playing almost every day
  4. Not trying to argue. I enjoy your posts.... I've just developed an irrational dislike for Seigler, not because of anything he does, but because sometimes Murphy doesn't treat him as he should (like the 26th man). Losing sucks... and when some less endowed players cost you games, they probably get an unreasonable amount of scrutiny, but it is what it is. Darn... that would have been a big run if Lockridge or Frelick could have come through there
  5. Cubs in an early 1-0 hole... Washington couldn't quite pull it together versus Philly
  6. Agreed. Outstanding. Patrick, way to step up big time when we needed you. Alright, let's get some badger mutual insurance runs and hope the bullpen can ice this away
  7. I can appreciate the guy tries hard, but he's not a good defender. His versatility is throwing the ball into the dugout or into right field. Seigler and Mona singlehandedly cost us the game yesterday. If he gets 2-3 starts a month, I can live with it, especially if he's working the count and trying to put up 7-8 pitch at-bats, but there is no platoon with him and Durbin. The only reason he should ever be in there for Durbin is if Durbin is hurt or needs an occasional rest. Defense is so important to this team, and yesterday shows why we need our best players on the field as much as possible.
  8. Dear Brewers Management: Caleb Durbin is an everyday player, period. I get he might need a day or two a month off, but otherwise he should be playing. Anthony Seigler on the other hand is terrible. He provides nothing. I'm sick of hearing about his "approach at the plate". The guy is a terrible defender and has ZERO extra base hits in 60 plate appearances. He brings nothing. Honestly have no idea why is is on the roster. DFA him, send him to the minors, don't care. The guy brings nothing. It is a complete joke he was taking some of Durbin's playing time (which really underminded the quality play Durbin has been giving us since Spring). Thank you, Brewers Fans Everywhere
  9. I wonder if Miz's thoughts about signing a contract maybe be different now than a month ago... 5 starts in and you're headed to super-stardom... a month later maybe expectations (from both sides) are a little more realistic and sustainable. I still think the kid is special, but as others have mentioned in the in-game thread, "he's learning how to pitch now" Unlikely that he's in the top-2 for ROY, so we should have 6 years of control remaining. Perhaps a contract that buys out his arby years with an opportunity for 2 team options in 32 and 33 would be in everybody's best interests... Shows the club is committed and believes in the kid, gives him financial security for life, and still gives him the opportunity to cash in at 31 on a mega deal if he becomes the superstar we all hope he does
  10. I'm not a fan of Lockridge, but wow, what an at-bat. Both Collins and Lockridge helping to drive up Boyd's pitch count this inning. Would be lovely to get him out of there after 5
  11. That is crazy. Seems like yesterday he was being traded to us
  12. Yeah, sign me up for that Marte contract. 6/100 (I think what is left) of that 7/115 deal seems very reasonable to me with elite production. Anyone know his surplus value on that contract?
  13. Sign me up. No mercy. We've got them on the run and I want a 10 game lead by the end of the night Would hate to see CC get fired by years end after the Cubs implode to a losing record for the season
  14. Came here to say this... the silver lining (if there is one), is that we have three more days with the Cubs... so we could end up with back to back double headers Tuesday and Wednesday. A day of rest today wouldn't hurt, though that makes the next two days a bit hairy
  15. Looking ahead to tomorrow, we do we have on the hill? Myers (afternoon game) Peralta (evening game)
  16. Maybe once we get Perkins and Collins back, we can get him one? Our offense sure clicks when he's up top, but I agree that he's really battling through it right now.
  17. This looks about right. Given the tough lefty, I figured they would try and get Yelich and Turang a day off... Would be nice to give Frelick and Vaughn a day off as well, but not sure what options they really have since we're down so many outfielders. We should have a solid bench if we need a late PH though Yelich Turang Seigler Time to find some luck in unlikely places again. Here's to 15 in a row!
  18. I definitely don't miss the LOOGY days. That made games really long. Side note- took my wife and kids to a game last week for the first time in a couple years. Normally, my wife hates baseball and compares it to watching paint dry. That said: - she was "refreshed" by the style of play and newcomer/hustle guys on our roster - she commented several times about how the new "speed" rules (pitch clock, MVR, limited throws to 1st) has made the game much more watchable - The comeback and then Collins with the walkoff didn't hurt Both my oldest daughter and wife have indicated the desire to attend another game soon This Brewers team is darn fun!
  19. Fair point... I just think in previous seasons (maybe this was the old CC regime that is now tanking in Chicago), we would play "not to lose" and were more worried about resting guys and avoiding injuries in the late stages of the season with a big division lead rather than giving it our regular go
  20. Unpopular take here.... Probably because I've been demoralized most of the past 35 years as a fan (since 1991 for the TC crew & for my entire life as a Brewers fan (save a couple weeks in 2018) Anyone else worried that we are peaking too early? Loved Yeli's comment yesterday about the streak saying that the crew hasn't accomplished anything yet, and what happens in October will be what counts. When you're coming back from 5-0 and 8-1 during the recent 24-1 stretch, hard not to feel invincible, but we've been red hot before, only to struggle when it counts in the playoffs. It still doesn't compute that we've gone from catching the Cubs from way back, to almost now a 10 game lead. Our team culture will hopefully make the difference this go-around, but I'm wondering if a little adversity over the next couple of weeks that takes things back a notch a bit maybe would be for the best so we can rediscover a hot streak going into the postseason like 2018, and so we stay hungry the whole way. With the tougher schedule coming up, maybe this will align perfectly My biggest fear as a fan remains that we'll clinch "too early", and having in essence the ability to coast the last 10-15 games of the year (and then some time off during the wildcard) might cost us that edge. Constantly amazed (through the injuries) how just about everyone has stepped up when it was their turn to be the difference. Let's go crew!
  21. That could be a huge weapon for us if he could do that... With likely only needing 3 starters in the playoffs, that seems right. I'd prefer Woody, Peralta, Priester, but we'll probably get Peralta, Woody, Priester. Not sure what Q's role would be?
