that's a penalty??

rodgers is not a blocker.

what was runyan doing there?!?! lolol

Rumors that he's interested in the Mets job are just that. Rumors The Mets have also repeatedly stated that they're pleased with the job of their current GM, BIlly Eppler, and why wouldn't they be, after a 100 win season? Playoff failure aside, a short series loss happens, and the playoffs are a crapshoot, as the Dodgers suffered the same fate, and the Braves (another 100 win team) are also now on the outside looking in. I think also, a lot of the shine on Stearns wore off this season. I'm not entirely sure the Mets (or any team coming off a successful season) is going to be quick to can their GM to hire a guy who seemingly botched the trade deadline with a 3 game division lead. I'm 100% sure Attanasio has his finger on the pulse of what he feels and knows is going on with his guys here. It's absolutely interesting for us to discuss the ins and outs and what-ifs (and that's what a message board is for, if nothing else), but at the end of the day, I'm absolutely sure the ownership group knows where they're at with this situation.

I don't have a lot of interest in seeing them get mauled by Ohio st again. get 7-8 wins, get a condiment bowl and let Leonhard settle into the role.

I like the fire from our Coach.

how is that confirmed ?!?!

I don't want to derail Brock's thread too much, but I want to take a sec to provide an alternative viewpoint to this, and be open to discussion on this. I'm going to first tackle the bolded point. I don't think it's ever been decided that game threads are meant for "burning off steam". Game threads are for discussing games. Somewhere along the line, posters decided that "burning off steam" and posting constant stream-of-thought anger about what was going on in the sport-at-hand was what game threads were about. Game threads are about a group of like-minded fans discussing a game. Now, I (and hopefully we) agree that there should be an open, honest discussion and agreement and disagreement about how we all view and interpret events. Admins have stated that there's nothing wrong with negative posts to a degree in the game threads, but when it gets repetitive, when the same poster complains about a certain batter being in the lineup (yes....even if it's an admin!) 18 days in a row, or when someone is complaining about Stearns 3 weeks in a row daily, in the game thread, it carries with it not just "blowing off steam", but a degree of negativity that removes any of the fun from the whole *idea* of even posting in the thread. There are posters who haven't/don't/won't post in the game threads because of a small handful of posters who post the same three to five complaints about the Brewers daily (Counsell sucks, the lineup sucks, this offense sucks, McCutchen sucks), to the point that it makes it practically a chore to sift past those posts. I'd like to think there's a better middle ground between a constant stream of negativity and people being attacked for posting their thoughts and frustrations on what's eating them up during a baseball game than where we're at right now.

maybe?

he had a guy draped on him with the safety coming over.

3rd and 2 throw deep into double coverage again. what the actual.... heck

put in Love good lord lol

lol this line is trash

wow. how nice is it to have timeouts during the 2 minute drill

why does thid offense predicate it's entire strategy on dunking short of the sticks. and then when it's all or nothing, tossing it 39 yards down field into coverage?

this game sucks

well. that's a thing

this oline is bad. by extension, the offense is bad.

Servais intentionally walks Alvarez with a man on first. Bregman lines an rbi single on the very next pitch. there's no way of knowing what Alvarez would have done, but walking guys into scoring position is just dumb.

While the Brewers fell short of the playoffs for the first time in five seasons, there were still noteworthy performances on the diamond to talk about. Congratulations to the Brewer Fanatic Most Improved Player for 2022, Hoby Milner! While the Brewers fell short of the playoffs for the first time in five seasons, there were still noteworthy performances on the diamond to talk about. Congratulations to the Brewer Fanatic Most Improved Player for 2022, Hoby Milner! The Brewers came into 2022 with high hopes, riding the wave of four consecutive playoff appearances. However, by the end of the year, despite tallying 86 wins, the Crew fell just short of the Phillies for the final wild-card spot. Amid injuries, and at times inconsistent offense, and a pitching staff that just didn't perform up to the very high standards that were set for them in 2021, the team just wasn't able to put together long stretches of wins after a 32-18 start that was the best fifty game season opening in franchise history. Despite the failure to reach the playoffs, there's still more than a handful of positives to take from an eighty-six-win team and in this article, we're going to look at the most improved players on the 2022 Brewers. 3rd place SP Eric Lauer On the surface, Lauer's statistics look pretty similar from 2021 to 2022. He posted a 3.69 ERA and a 4.50 FIP in 2022, compared to a 3.19 ERA and a 4.04 FIP in 2021. His WHIP, walk, and K rates are almost all the same from season to season. His home run rate took a slight bump up, unfortunately. Lauer did stay on the field for the '22 Brewers, making 29 starts and throwing 158 2/3 innings. Lauer had stretches in 2022 where he looked close to becoming the "fourth ace" for the Brewers, joining Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta at the top of the rotation. He carried an ERA in the low twos until mid-June when he got blown up for eight earned runs in a single start. Lauer's last start of the season he pitched six hitless innings and was removed for pitch count. More so for those stretches where he flashed "ace" material and not necessarily the raw numbers, and coming into his age twenty-eight season, Lauer earned a few "most improved" votes from the panel. 2nd place DH/UTIL Keston Hiura For the time that Hiura was in the lineup in 2022, he didn't return to his rookie form, but definitely added some punch to the lineup, with a .765 OPS and fourteen home runs in 266 plate appearances. After his disastrous 2021 campaign, getting any kind of offensive production out of Hiura had to be looked at as a bonus for the Crew. Hiura's reverse splits (.866 ops vs RHP, .619 OPS vs LHP) were a hindering factor, as he saw 109 of his 266 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. While it's heartening to see him providing offense, he'll probably have to continue to work on his reverse splits and cut down the strikeout rate (41.7% in 2022) for him to find a full-time job in 2023. 1st place RP Hoby Milner Hoby Milner entered 2022 with a total of 77 1/3 innings pitched for four teams over five seasons, and they had been best described as "bad" at best, and that could be considered generous. Over his previous two seasons, Milner had surrendered a ghastly thirteen home runs over just 35 innings. Coming into 2022, it's hard to know what the Brewers expected from Milner. A sidearm lefty who barely hits ninety, who's historically been really bad against righties, who will now have to face a minimum of three batters? That sounded like a recipe for disaster. I'm not here to tell you Hoby Milner is suddenly a Cy Young candidate, or reliever of the year candidate, or even that he's going to be great next year. Relievers, by nature, are pretty volatile from year to year. But in 2022 Milner caught proverbial lightning in a bottle and had a solid season from the front to the back. Throwing 64 2/3 innings, Milner posted a respectable 3.76 ERA/3.16 FIP, while lowering his home runs allowed to just five over those 64 2/3 innings. On top of that, Milner's splits were much better than they had been historical allowing just a .704 OPS against right-handers, against a .655 OPS vs. left-handed batters. With the Brewers bullpen going from a strength in 2021 to a sudden (and inexplicable) weakness in 2022, having Milner become a reliable middle-inning option was one of the few things that seemed to go right for the Brewers pen this year. Certainly, the role of the LOOGY has changed, and it appeared that there wouldn't be a place in the game for soft-tossing left-handers that struggle to get out right-handed batters. Milner certainly adjusted last year, and if he finds his way onto the Brewers in 2023, we'll hope he continues having success. Congratulations to Hoby Milner. Now let us know who you think was the Most Improved Brewers player in 2022? View full article

luckily badgers have some depth there. guerendo and j. Davis. an both move up a spot on the depth chart and they should be ok. obviously sucks for mellusi.

baaaaaarf. at least it's over before noon and I have the rest of my Sunday.
