It happens. Teams have bad games/stretches. Below average teams like the Brewers have less margin for error. Sure, other teams have been beating the Astros, but keep in mind one of those teams was the Brewers just a couple weeks ago. It's not like this team is any different than a few days ago when we were smiling about them sweeping the Reds. They've had a couple bad losses and it's not like they got whipped in either of them. Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, this season sucks. But there's nothing crazy going on. The Brewers relievers were bad in Game 1 and the hitters were bad in Game 2. Guess I just don't read too much into anything or get too upset about it. Our team isn't good. They lost to a bad team twice. -
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about his defense/speed for a few more years.

I haven't seen the last couple games, but unless something changed in the last few days, I beg to differ. Despite the disappointing season, I have really appreciated how hard the guys have played. A team that quits doesn't come back to tie games in the 9th.

Not sure what the point is about Gagne, Hoffman, and K-Rod. Is it that the Brewers killed them? If so, come on. Gagne was already done - he wasn't far removed from a whole bunch of injuries and couldn't take PED's anymore (he was actually ok in the second half of the season, too, for the most part). Hoffman was obviously done - he used what little he had left in the tank in his first season with the Brewers. And K-Rod hasn't been "K-Rod" for quite some time.

The Bullpen - Would You Make Henderson the Closer

I don't even care at this point. -
The answer to that has nothing to do with how great of a pitcher he was when he was with the Brewers. But it does. http://i.imgur.com/hNYt5.gif

I've been trying to explain this to people for years. Ted Williams wasn't NEARLY as good as people make him out to be. All you have to do is combine the stats of his replacement for those years he missed in the military and you don't come close to a legendary hitter.

I think he's basically using the "health is a skill" argument and trying to say that because he was hurt, the Brewers had to use a worse pitcher to cover his missed starts. This combined "Ben Sheets" pitcher was worse than the genuine article, so the fact that Ben Sheets got hurt made him a worse pitcher, even if his stats when healthy were still excellent. I know it doesn't make much sense - I had a lot of trouble even typing that. I think that's what Hoyt is trying to say, though. EDIT: Yup, that's what he's saying. I was still figuring out how to word it while he replied.

He ripped that last out. Good play by Rolen. He's also gotten totally jobbed on a K or two lately. Sometimes good players go hitless for a few games. Doesn't mean something is wrong with them.

Maybe I'm just giving Melvin too much credit, but I really don't think he's looking at 2013 as an "all-in" year or a year in which he truly believes the Brewers have an excellent shot at contending from the get-go. Thus, I don't see him doing anything silly like making some gigantic trade for a stud or making some dumb, long-term, expensive signing in the offseason (Greinke is the one I could see and we could debate that all day long). That's not to say that the Brewers can't contend or won't contend, but I think Melvin is smart enough to realize that they likely won't go into the offseason or come out of spring training has serious contenders. They should be good enough to be competitive and therefore if things fall the right way, they could contend, but I don't see any big moves coming until they are squarely in the race around next year's trade deadline. And even then I wouldn't assume Melvin would make a big move.

[sarcasm]Segura is on pace to be the worst SS of all-time.[/sarcasm]
-
He's still a pitcher on the team.

Roenicke and Kranitz look disgusted on a number of levels.
-
THE CURSE OF BRONSON ARROYO IS BROKEN. BREWERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!
-
I think that was a "welcome to the big leagues, kid" at-bat.
-
As others have said, if calling Segura up now has no effect on how long he's under team control, then gogogogogogo. Heck, even if it did, I wouldn't really care.
-
And I'll also never forget THE double play he turned with Weeks.
