Playing close games with a bad bullpen and an offense that doesn't score after the 6th is not working very well lately -
Watching the pregame show...while it's kind of sad to celebrate a team that lost a World Series 35 years later, I can understand it because it's the best the franchise has ever done. But can we please stop talking about team streak? They started the season what, 13-0, then missed the playoffs? I get there were less playoff teams then, and the start of the season was memorable, but otherwise why do we keep talking about that team 30 years later?

I wonder if the scouting report for Broxton says to throw it down the middle

It's been just Sundays and holidays for years now

Has anyone been to Swanky's before a Brewers/Rockies game? I'd imagine any Brewers fans going to the game would likely congregate there?

And doesn't help when your first two steps are backwards on a bloop single in front of you

Anyone know the message board site that gets the most traffic from Colorado Rockies fans? The fan site listed on Brewerfan is old and looks to have gone pretty dormant, as have all the others I've found Google searching. Some friends and I are going to Colorado for the Brewers series in a couple weeks and just looking to pick the locals' brains about pre-game activities, Denver activities, etc. We'd take any suggestions from anyone here in the know as well!

Would be interesting to know how much it actually works. I mean, I've seen it work, but it seems like odds are much better to lay down a bunt than ask a pitcher to pull back, hit the ball, and hit a hole in the infield.

Man, some people just love to hate Bill Schroeder.

Let the Lucroy to the Brewers hot stove speculation begin! -
Rockies acquire Jonathan Lucroy

This is a case in point on why some fans want to make trades of good players. No it's not because we are afraid of success or think the farm system is more important than the MLB club. It's because we want to sell high and maximize value on what we have before that value is lost, with an ultimate plan for MLB success in mind. When you do it right, this is how it looks. When you do it wrong, it looks like Junior Guerra and Jonathan Villar. And to be clear, I'm not claiming I forsaw Guerra and Villar's drop offs coming. Recognizing when the time is right to maximize that value is certainly among the most difficult parts of a GM's job. -
Brewers acquire Swarzak from White Sox for Ryan Cordell

My exact thoughts -
That 2004 team was what made me a true Brewer fan. Growing up in Milwaukee, the Brewers were like a bad joke for as long as I could remember. I was 7 during their last decent season in '92 and my only happy memory of the team was Yount's 3,000th hit, and even that I don't think I truly understood at the time. Otherwise, my only memory was that they stunk, always had, and I heard stories about some team that didn't stink one time before I was even born. When I heard people talk about the Brewers growing up I'd almost scoff at them, like "Why are you wasting time watching the Brewers? Everyone knows they are hopeless, why bother?" Almost feel bad about it now, but it's all I ever knew. The concept of a competitive Brewers team made absolutely no sense to me. But then for once, they competed. I always loved baseball, and for the first time in my life I actually felt like I had a team to root for. As a lifetime sports fan, I had found a brand new passion. I listened to Uecker every day, I hung on every pitch, it was awesome. Then they finished the season 26-60. At least I knew from the start what I was getting myself into...

It's a bad stretch, but such is baseball. We will level off and even get hot again, and we are still in first place. There is no need to panic. I know the above is true and I do believe it...but as a lifelong Brewers fan I still can't help but feel this is the the inevitable collapse. This sucks, and the worst part is it came right after, for the first time all season, I actually let myself believe a little.

And rousing ovation for Marte, check.

Ryan Braun boos - check

The Pirates post-win firework show is much more impressive than ours
-
Too bad the rules are strict that your best bullpen pitchers can only pitch with a lead in the 8th or 9th inning.
-
Love that Pirates fans are booing Braun...I expect they'll do the same when Marte returns???
-
Maybe it's the years of Suppan, Wolf, Lohse, and Garza sticking in my mind...but Quintana is a 28 year-old pitcher (will be 31 by the end of his contract), with a rising FIP each of the past 3 years, and currently having the worst year of his career since his rookie season. This trade makes sense for the Cubs and it could certainly work out well for them as I do think Quintana has more left in the tank, but to me there's a ceiling to the potential payoff with a real chance Quintana is never again the pitcher he once was. As a Brewers fan I'm cautiously optimistic about this, because had we made this trade and given up a similar package I'd be very nervous for an outcome similar to those guys mentioned above.

Maybe your magic ball wasn't worth the money you paid for it. Lmao without the terrible ump he probably walks Gregorious and Sanchez. Only strike 3 to Sanchez was out of the zone, and certainly generous. Otherwise all the other strikes were in the zone or swing and misses. Gregorious' 3 strikes were one clearly in the zone (to the eye and K-zone) and two swinging. But yeah that was the ump.
-
Perfect timing for the break, team cooled off this weekend but still gutted out a couple wins. Terrible defense and Yankee baserunners like crazy, and still take 2 out of 3. Can regroup and soak in that glorious 5.5 game lead for the next 4 days.

This is like watching K-Rod all over again

Apparently the whistle is from some local retailer sponsorship. Pretty lame, especially for such a traditional franchise.
