I can't be too upset about that. It was a great bunt. -
I've watched a quarter more preseason than I ever intended but my God, is this uninspired. This staff really can't get this team to stop committing idiotic penalties.
-
Agree. I was pretty surprised looking at his numbers.
-
I never enjoyed it, but I do wish they would let the starting offense play for an entire quarter, then maybe a half in the final game. It's very obvious they're out of sorts at the start of every season. I don't know why it's become kosher to just punt your first 2 games. The entire season is a mess of guys getting constantly hurt anyway. The idea that you're preventing that by not having them play a couple series in the preseason is a bit overzealous for me.

This team is unbelievable
-
That's probably very unlikely to happen too. The Dodgers and Padres still play each other 6 times and probably have a race to the end. The Brewers falling behind BOTH division leaders at this point would require a faceplant. I think the Brewers could play the final 42 under .500 and still end up #1. An 8 game lead is a big lead. It's not out of the question just yet, but it basically is if they leave the 5 game set next week in the same spot.

Phillies are at home. The Cubs have playing .500 ball on that supposed cupcake schedule for quite some time now. They actually have to start beating cupcakes, which they have not done. It's going to take a lot more than the Brewers going like 2-4 against the Jays and Phils to make up 8 games in 42. The Brewers are 97-65 if they go .500 the rest of the year. Not that that is a guarantee, but the Cubs won't get there.
-
Call me a dope or say that I'm asking for it, but the division race is over. The Cubs just are not a very good team. They are about .500 over the last 2 months, played offense at an unsustainable clip in April and May and all season, got randomly lucky pitching to an awful lot of contact. They'll probably make the playoffs, but I'm not even certain of that at this point. I am just not worried about a matchup with them at all.

I used to go a lot. My Dad would take my younger brother and I for breakfast every Saturday for like a couple years when we were probably around 12 and 10. I went a couple times drunk in college after hours. I've never had the burgers. Only the breakfast, which was standard diner breakfast, definitely not terrible food, not spectacular, but good. It's been 20 years, maybe it's not even as good as I remember? But I do remember liking it enough that we went every week.
-
Trying to remember the last time I went to Webb's. I want to say like 2006?
-
I do think they will be a better team this year than last but I worry it's just the fan in me being hopeful. There is a lot of young talent on the team that should develop. But fans never account for regression either. I think they'll win 11 games. I would +/- 2 wins depending on how Love plays. They'll ultimately sink or swim with the season he has. Their schedule isn't easy but they get a lot of tougher games at home or earlier in the year or both, it seems favorable. To be a real contender they need more than they got last year.
-
Careful. Going to make some people here very upset by just stating reality. We were so close to winning the Super Bowl. We only lost to the Eagles by 10.
-
Indeed and I see why he wasn't swinging a bat lol. That was honestly a great event though and I was very surprised they televised it. Most stuff like that is such a dud, and yes they didn't do much with their bats, but I was shocked by how many fans stayed there for it, how many guys they got to show up and the overall energy. It was just refreshing. The players all seemed to be so grateful and really enjoyed being there and seeing their old teammates. It was awesome.
-
Pretty cool that all these guys wanted to do this. I wish Jenkins came though,

When does Arnold start to receive some criticism
OldSchoolSnapper replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
His son is on the U13 Whitefish Bay team that will be on ESPN this weekend. I am sure that team is getting some analytics done and facility access that doesn't seem fair. That's all I got ;) On a serious note, I think the consensus will be this season was disappointing if we lose our first playoff series again. I think that's more than fair. This is looking like it could be the best pitching staff we've ever had. Sure, the offense lacks some firepower here and there, and the World Series is just such an incredibly difficult thing to do, that I would never make that the bar regardless of how good the team is, baseball is just a brutal game of chance sometimes. It's completely fair to be disappointed and point out there isn't enough talent offensively IF that happens again. Thing with MLB though, is that I don't know what else there is to do. The disparity of resources makes it very clear to me that your best bet is exactly what they're doing. Make it every year and hope you get lucky eventually. The criticism of what GB has done in the postseason is much more fair than this. I don't see it as settling. I think with MLB, it's just being realistic. -
I absolutely love the alternate uniform. The helmet is awesome.
-
Greedy, but this is almost a bummer. Likely we take 12 of our last 13 and missed the Webb special by a 1-0 loss. Ouch.
-
I've been meaning to whine about this for over a year, but you shouldn't be able to consult a video to determine whether or not you're challenging. You should have to make that call on the naked eye alone.
-
2x sweep of LAD. Best record in baseball!
-
That was an unbelievable throw from Ortiz. It really should have been it.
-
Typically they'll come out around 11 wins and say they'll do it if they get to the magic number. They did it a few years back. 2018 maybe?
-
As painful as it's been he's a 2WAR catcher this year. That's why he isn't sitting. He got the ASB off. I would have preferred they sent him home a few days before that and given him an extended break.
-
I won't complain but thank God that 6th run crossed in time because that runner at 3rd was hosed and moving like a sloth.
-
That hurts. That'll be the one that stings if we're in second place in a couple hours.
