replace bad with tired - basically the same either way and generally agreed. Sounds weird to say since you always want to play to win every day - but in the grand scheme of things this ballgame feels like one the Brewers would almost be better off punting/getting pasted if it means saving their key pen arms. Who do they have in the pen today that can wear 4ish innings before Seigler comes in to mop up on the mound?

I am going to be thrilled not having to face this Dbacks squad anymore this season/postseason - just feels like a pain in the butt lineup to face. Getting them towards the end of this crazy consecutive games/one fewer day stretch just sucks
-
Totally agree - ive long since felt like no matter what the Brewers do now, it will have no bearing on postseason outcomes - with the exception of winning the division/avoiding the WC round to limit how many series they need to win. At the moment its hard to argue the Brewers could be in a better position in that regard. And regardless of their regular season, the Brewers will likely be considered underdogs in any postseason series against the likely NL field - who all happen to be huge markets with plenty of star power on their rosters. I can separate the two and just enjoy this ride at the moment, though - it is a special run this team is on once again!

2025 Magic Number Thread
Fear The Chorizo replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Absolutely love this thread for two reasons: 1. It's become an annual routine thread started in late summer because the Brewers keep finding themselves in playoff contention atop their division. 2. Its a great way to go back in time and remember players you forgot ever donned a brewer uniform. I loved Abbott growing up and completely lost the fact he was a Brewer at the end of his career. That said, almost a 7 ERA in 1999 probably had alot to do with my recall, lol. -
Amazing to me all the hand wringing over a team that is currently 5 games better than anyone else in MLB, 6.5 games better than anyone else in the NL. Basically not losing a game through the 1st 2.5 weeks of August spoiled alot of people
-
Cubs only pick up 1.5 games in the standings after the Brewers lucked into another win and the Giants beat them.
-
That wont be an issue once they get a few off days in the schedule
-
This is what happens when you play everyday, constantly. Myers not being able to get any length from the pen had Murphy trying to squeeze a couple more outs from Koenig than he should have. This pitching staff is completely gassed right now.
-
He's only had 4 starts since then, and is obviously being very pitch count limited. no runs in just under 4IP in Seattle, 3 runs in an error-filled 4 innings against the Cubs, the 1.1 IP debacle in Cincy full of walks and blooper singles, and the 4 IP start in Chicago when he gave up 3 runs on 1 hit due to walks. When he's giving up hits, it's not like they're HR or hard contact - he's just walking too many guys and it's obvious his schedule post IL stint hasn't allowed him to get into any rhythm. Kind of an unintended consequence of this innings - limit approach is his workload is so uneven it's really hard for Miz to find consistency. When he throws strikes and is aggressive in the zone, he's going to mow through 5-6 IP in 80 pitches - but when he's not you can cut the innings pitched in half and it's a tax on the bullpen. He is basically at his IP amount from last season right now, so it's tough to see the Brewers pushing him extra hard the next few weeks if they have any intent of using him in the postseason. But, the trouble is if you don't pitch him now, you can't just dust him off in October for a playoff start or long reliever role with that amount of downtime. If he's healthy, you pitch him.

2025 Season Win Predictions
Fear The Chorizo replied to Underachiever's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Bumping this thread - seeing that there's a decent chance the Brewers may run right past many of the season long win predictions on here by Labor Day!! -
This team is 4 wins better than anyone else in MLB, 6 more wins than anyone else in the NL. I take it you are more of the glass 5 percent empty sort - even if filling it even more would cause it to overflow and be a different reason for doom and gloom
-
Thank goodness the Brewers found a way to salvage their fading hopes to finish the season with a winning record by getting win #82, with a week to go in August, and only lost 2.5 games in the standings tonight against an idle Cub juggernaut by lucking into this win.
-
Holy high strike to Collins
-
I get Hader vibes from him, and wonder if that multi inning fireman reliever is his best role longterm. He has been exceptional
-
Nobody even within a foot of that hook
-
I dont know how Ashby gets hit ever when his stuff looks like this. 99 with sink and tail and that filth of a hook?
-
Am I missing something? We are still winning, right? I'd be willing to bet most of the people now acting like the Brewers will never win again while Cubs go undefeated the last 5ish weeks of the season didnt have the Brewers winning 81 games for the full season when the calendar said march. Calm down already

over the course of a 162 game season, all teams are going to go through stretches where they go 4-6 and teams chasing them go 7-3 or 8-2. Not all teams are going to do that after playing the equivalent of better than 0.700 winning percentage baseball for 3 solid months of the schedule. The Brewers weren't going to maintain a 110+ win pace, that's just baseball. They are far from burning out after a tough week that saw them lose a couple of very winnable games that would otherwise have their division lead closer to 10 games than 5. This stretch of consecutive days with games is absolutely brutal, though. Hoping they can beat on the Dbacks to start the week to close out August on the high note it's been!

Giants (Ray) vs Brewers (TBD): 8/24/25, 1:10pm
Fear The Chorizo replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
This team looks like it just played its 11th game in 10 days...and it's only the middle of this brutal stretch of their schedule. Megill has to pitch better - should have been a W today. -
Despite all the hand-wringing, a couple of hard hit balls find holes at certain times and this could've easily been a 4-1 Brewer series win on the road against a team desperate to try and make up ground. Close August out strong and get Chourio back innthis lineup!
-
It feels like the slew of minor injuries and paternity leaves coming during and on the back end of this crazy hot streak make this stretch a natural time for a tough week, and that is bearing out. Pisses us as fans off because a chunk of it is coming against the Cubs, but its part of a 162 game grind the players are accustomed to. Hoping they find a way to win yet tonight and tomorrow, but also not going to burn any Brewers gear if they leave Chicago with only a 5 game lead and zero head to heads left against this team trying to catch us
-
All day long, rockets right at people for outs
-
Every hard hit ball is right at a defender for an out....baseball being baseball
-
Get through this inning unscathed and go to the pen Taffy pull of a start for Woody tonight
-
The book on Cassie should be hard stuff inside and up in the zone until he proves he can turn on a pitch
