Hoskins and Black fill out this roster so much more than Bauers and Seigler
-
There are reasons a plenty, actually He just cant be playing in front of Durbin right now
-
If they no show their way to getting 9 more outs, ill take it
-
The Brewers are 2-2 against two of the best teams in MLB over their last 4 games m, which have come at the end of a brutal stretch of their schedule. They still find themselves 5.5 games up, with two games left against the Phils before their schedule starts looking a heckuva lot lighter. These games happen - it stinks, but its ⚾️
-
Exhaustion - it just is what it is - cant get through entire games using 6 pitchers every night and not have at least one spring leaks when you've played games 3 weeks straight without a day off
-
Turang should get MVP votes this season - that is how damn good he has been.
-
MLB needs to address their scheduling issues leaguewide. The gradual start to the regular season with extra off days in April makes sense - but then the rainouts early sap up sparser off days in late summer when teams are already grinding. I get the want to play on labor day, its a traditional baseball gameday. I think they need to start the regular season a week earlier, and then sprinkle in an extra week of days off from July-september.
-
Largely to do with very few draft picks thanks to a bunch of trades made by a front office that I think is actually quite overrated. They still are going to struggle to block people, which is a big problem with a young quarterback...and yeah their depth is suspect. I can see the Vikings being much worse than many assume they are, and they are my pick to finish in the NFC North cellar.
-
Nobody else in baseball yet with 80 wins - Brewers rounding to 90. They have broken MLB
-
Just wait until the Brewers have to play the tough part of their schedule... (Checks notes) Oh yeah, this is the tough part of their schedule 😀
-
truth is we don't know, because injuries are the wildcard. If Parsons stays healthy, this is a no brainer win trade for the Packers - they get an elite pass rusher who can line up all over the front 7 in his prime. The odds of the Cowboys picking a player anywhere close to Parsons' ability on the field with either of these 1st round picks is incredibly low. Clark is a really good interior lineman, but he's not a game disruptor that warrants concerns about how his loss impacts the defense overall. Since career-debilitating injuries are impossible to predict in football, at the moment this is a great trade for the Packers.
-
Packer front 7 is now officially loaded with athletic freaks, too
-
Losing Clark stings, but there's alot of tread on those tires and i think the impact Parsons can bring off the edge is more than worth the cost... Let's go!!
-
I sure hope not - this isn't summer legion baseball for highschoolers...my preference would be for pitching to reinvent itself and get back more to pitching to contact. If that means altering field dimensions, I'm much more for that than altering the rules of the game being 27 outs over 9 innings. I do think MLB could dramatically reduce these stresses by doing nothing different besides starting its 162 game regular season one week earlier with a focus on warm climate ballparks or teams with domes hosting the first games - that way you can more readily bake in an extra week's worth of off days from April through September. Spring training is already kind of a joke and probably a bit too long for the actual MLB players ramping up for the regular season.
-
Not really - pitchers aren't developed/trained anymore to be able to get outs with 80% effort in order to log 250+ innings a season while pitching 120+ pitches a start. Nowadays I'd say over 90% of MLB pitchers go max effort, all the time - and they are expendable. And It's not that the Brewers' staff is any more shot than their competitors, either - guys like Hall, Henderson going down really do hurt depth to avoid blowup innings. The issue is there has been zero days off for this staff for way beyond what the schedule typically provides, which gives these guys an extra day collectively to refresh. MLB has a scheduling problem with how frequent the early season off days are (to help avoid too many weather issues in April/May) compared to summer/down the stretch, and what having to schedule double headers or eliminate some of those late season off days does to teams in August / September.
-
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.
