Any other guys sprinting towards the wall I don't worry about because of normal human tendencies.... But when Sal is running towards one I just assume he is about to knock himself out.
-
I don't think it is wild to say that Collins should be our #3 hitter and Vaughn should be our #4 hitter permanently.
-
It's crazy. When Chourio returns... How do you sit Sal? But how do you sit Perkins? But how do you sit Collins?
-
Why does he not qualify?
-
That's a great question. I don't see why not, he was on our opening day roster.
-
Oh my gosh what is going on in Washington? They've given up 70 runs in their last 6 games.
-
I mean I get watching him can be eye rolling... but big deep breath here friends. Freddy is top 20 in the league in ERA (which is now flirting to go below 3). He is top 20 in SO. He is top 20 in opponents BA against. He definitely walks guys (11th) but because no one hits him his WHIP is still top 20 in baseball. Wins are a whatever stat but he leads the league in them and has an outside chance of being the first 20 game winner for Milwaukee since the Raegan administration... ... and he is making $8 million dollars a year... .. and he doesn't get hurt. Where else are you going to find a pitcher under 30 who will put up that stat line and only cost you that much who will take the ball every 5th day? (BTW, tied for 23rd in MLB in innings pitched coming into tonight) We have been blessed this year with such great pitching that we are allowing ourselves to pick him apart when he has been a rock for us. He was the MVP of the team through the first two months outside of MAYBE Sal. Monster truck type haul for him in the off season only ... otherwise he is here to try for the repeat and we trade him during or give him a QO after the year. Freddy is frustrating but he is awesome.
-
That was a hall of fame at bat from Vaughn. Goodness gracious.
-
To be fair they have been really good this year in those spots. The name "Team Sac Fly" hasn't been given to them without reason...
-
You know... I thought of this during the Washington series and I was just reminded watching Collins AB right there (for the wrong reason this time)... The Brewers have so FEW at bats that are not competitive, Ortiz aside. Yelich oddly enough seems like he has the most after Joey. I have no idea how to quantify or qualify this observation but we just don't seem overwhelmed at the plate by anyone, ever. Even Siegler, who isn't picking up hits .... it feels like he battles himself into a 2-2 count all the time and then makes decent contact. I dunno, I could be wrong.
-
winning in multiple ways. the confidence in this club just slowly builds and builds..
-
Feels like Megill hasn't pitched in a month.
-
Priester is a dawg man.
-
Collins. My goodness.
-
Vaughn picking up infield hits now? He has bought in completely..
-
Holy buckets. The Brewers are 43-16 when Collins starts in left field. Woof.
-
Ooh, I like this a lot. Give us an appetizer for today's game.

Trade deadline day thread
liveforoctober replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's not the opinion that is the issue, it is everyone else "knowing better" than a successful FO that is the issue. I've been on record and I remain on record hoping we would have/will upgrade both Bauers and Mona. But the Brewers have earned the right to be right, imho. So if Arnold didn't think the price to get a backup IF was worth the ask and/or was an upgrade to Mona, etc ... then I believe him! We have no idea how the negotiations went... so how can we all be sure we did it wrong? We will see how it pans out and who ends up being right in the end. Since the deadline has passed Mona has made us all look silly. Just really funny to me how many people already know the answers to questions that have not yet been asked. Not getting Castro might end up costing us a World Series, who knows. Maybe not getting him ends up winning us a World Series. Who knows. "Man I wish we had gotten another infielder" is worlds away from "Arnold failed and doesn't care". -
Yeah but the Giants are going for it obviously so I'm sure their fans are cool with it.

Trade deadline day thread
liveforoctober replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
"We had a chance to improve" = "we had a chance to add a name I have heard of" Imagine walking up on an artist painting a stunning mural in your town. Something bigger and more beautiful than anything your town had ever seen up to that point... and having the irrational confidence to go tap them on the shoulder to suggest some edits because you use to do water colors in the 6th grade. -
Folks in the Fox Valley - just a note, the TRats only have 12 remaining home games on the season as hard as that is to believe. If Made and Pena show out at all, they have a good chance to start next year in AA ... so you have 2 remaining six game home stands to get out and see them!
-
Truly, there will be a point pretty soon where an opposing GM will call us asking about a trade just to hear the names that we are interested in so that they can lock those guys up to long-term deals.
-
Wait so Lockridge is a ballplayer? Who would have thunk it. Where are all of our friends from deadline day anyway? I miss them.
-
Orioles tied it up.
