    To me, the goal is playoffs simply because you can't make/win the World Series without getting to the playoffs first. Baseball is much more of a crapshoot in the playoffs than other "major" sports, so once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen. As someone above said, the teams that are good enough to make the playoffs are good enough to win it all.

    As others have said, I think Bill's REAL problem is the Brewers' poor OBP and BA. These result in not getting enough runners on base to take advantage of the homers, as well as not being able to score runs consistently when not hitting homers. We're very similar to Florida in this sense. Both teams have low OBP (.325 for MIL, .322 for FLA), low BA (.254 vs. .253), high K's (FLA has the most in MLB, way ahead of MIL, which is 5th), and despite being 3rd (FLA) and 4th (MIL) in MLB in homers, the teams are smack dab in the middle of the MLB pack in runs scored. EDIT: I just realized I probably should've compared them to just the NL.

    Seriously, if I were to read every IGT without checking the game status, I'd think the Brewers hadn't won a single game.

    If MLB.com Gameday is correct, the home plate umpire is randomly choosing between ball and strike.

    It actually hasn't been bad here in Atlanta. It's been raining relatively lightly, but steadily, since late afternoon, but it's supposed to keep going through the night with possible thunderstorms. They probably canceled because it would simply suck to make fans sit through bad weather the entire game. There was a nice tribute to Skip Carey on TBS, though.

    I think one thing fans need to realize is that unfavorable outcomes for the Brewers (whether it is the outcome of a single at-bat, pitch, or game as a whole) are just as often the result of success by the other team as they are "failure" by our guys.

    I can't believe the Brewers are even able to board a plane to San Diego with Counsell on the team.

    Prince should beat up Parra again for this.

    It would be nice if Zambrano would serve pitches up to us, too.

    That Make-a-Wish kid is pretty good in the booth.

    But what happens if the Brewers win the 4th game in the Washington series? What then? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Seriously. I got home from running an errand, saw it was 4-1 with DeRosa coming up and bases loaded, put my daughter down for a nap, and now it's 9-4.

    For those of us not watching, what was the deal with the Votto AB?
  14. dlk9s
    Don't look now, but Weeks' BA is up to .230.
  15. dlk9s
    That hit wasn't with RISP.
  16. dlk9s
    NL average: .260/.352/.405/.757 (BA/OBP/SLG/OPS) Brewers: .237/.330/.397/.727

    Oh, come on. Give it a rest. I'm only listening to the game, but it sounds like Braun had a nice AB and ended up striking out on a very tough pitch by Bailey (shocking that a K can be the result of good pitching rather than bad hitting) and Fielder got robbed of an RBI. Obviously, the Brewers have not done well at all with RISP lately, but sometimes the approach and process are good, but the results are just bad.

    "One flap down" would have been the most appropriate way to round the bases, if you ask me.
  19. dlk9s
    Single, BB, pop-out, FC that would've been a DP had JJ fielded it cleanly, HBP, infield single (RBI), out.
  20. dlk9s
    I expect Bush to get Encarnacion out because Encarnacion is NOT CLUTCH.

    Cherish this moment, everybody. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    LOL at Uecker's call of Braun's double: "Get up, get up [oh crap, it's not going out], get off that wall...it's off the wall!"

    Nice avatar, you nerd. And yes, I understand that knowing where that avatar is from makes me a little bit of a nerd, too.

    The fight was officially over once Kapler got in between them. He didn't even need to do anything except stand there for a second.
  25. dlk9s
    Maybe Campillo is actually good? Shocking thought, I know.
