I'll take 6-0. Was trying not to get greedy. But, hell, why not get greedy? 75 wins was greedy in March! -
Back in it! 19 to go. What's it going to take to win the division? 88? Next 6 for the Cubs is Mets and then Cards. Crew has Pittsburgh and Miami. 4-2 probably keeps the Crew in it. Would love a 5-1 run, though. Great win today. Great series.
-
What a weird day for Perez. He misplays a fly ball leading to a run. Then gets a bunt down to help the Brewers get it back. Hustles out a routine ground ball. Gets picked off. Big things wrong. Little things right.
-
Yup. Not much to be done on that throw to second. And Thames makes some hard contact too. Tough inning. Hope Davies can keep it going.
-
I get it. Player dislike is one of those to each their own things. Does Vogt really hit more than Pina? Of all the lineup decisions the past week, this catcher platoon is the one that makes me scratch my head in the direction of CC. Maybe Manny's still hurt, I guess...
-
Just curious...why Hendricks? He doesn't seem to me to be nearly as annoying as Lackey and Arrieta. Not asking for justification just interested in why different guys rub different people the wrong way.
-
Can definitely see a case for starting Phillips in RF today, but then you'd get the "of course Hernan dominates at the plate and then has to sit" crowd. I actually like Hernan better than Santana as a defender, so I think this comes down more to a player just failing than a lineup mistake, though...
-
I think 13-8 gives them a pretty good shot at getting into some sort of postseason fun. 6 vs. Cubs, 6 vs. Pirates, 3 vs. Reds, 3 vs. Cardinals, 3 vs. Marlins. I'll say this. All those series are winnable. Offense will need to wake up, but this team is right in it!
-
Feel bad for Jimmy given the year he's had. I'm more concerned about the impact on his progress in 2018 and beyond than the 4-10 additional starts he'd get this year depending on postseason stuff, so let's hope for a successful rehab. As for the rotation moving forward, you have to think it's Davies, Anderson, and Woodruff getting regular looks with some combo of Suter/Garza/Guerra/Call-up going on days 4 and 5. My guess is Brewers will eliminate 5th starter as off days allow down the stretch. We'll see.
-
Where is Nyjer Morgan these days? If the Brewers do play the D-Backs in a do or die game, he should be the ceremonial anchor of the gauntlet. Maybe they could let him and Gomez sit atop the dugout. Geez, just typing that makes me ask myself if even thinking about the Brewers getting one extra game is the biggest jinx ever. I'm genuinely nervous just typing. Just another instance of who'd have thought on September 3rd... Great series. Nearly pulled out all four. Here's hoping for a 4-2 week at least!

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Matt Garza. Making a decision about where he needed to be relative to baseball last year isn't one of them. If Shaw made the choice to leave, there's no way I would fault him for it. Same thing with Segura a few years ago. In situations like that, some abstract notion of "duty" or "team loyalty" does not trump an individual's right to make their own choices about what to prioritize. If it hurts the team, it hurts the team. Not the most important thing in that moment. I'm on board with Garza not being set in stone as a starter. Seems like nobody trusted him after 5 anyway, even in generally good outings. Trotting him out there to begin a game, when you have basically no choice but to have a relatively long leash, doesn't seem like the best approach. With expanded rosters, call up some pitchers and have no patience for guys that don't get outs.
-
Do you think Mark Prior has flashbacks every time he watches Dusty Baker manage a game? Gio just out there tossing to 115 with the Nationals basically a guarantee for the playoffs. Guess they're just stretching him out. What's the over/under for Scherzer in his 2nd start back? 105?
-
Broxton should get 1 WAR for that catch. Sort of blue. What a fun way to win against the Cardinals.
-
Trying not to be too big of a homer. But that's one of the best shortstop plays I've seen.
-
For me, the thing about Garza is that he just isn't any fun to watch pitch. He's always got runners on base, he nibbles a lot, and he's not a quick worker. Plus, he's a horrible fielder and I don't trust him to throw to any base at all. He had a good first half, and he's had some good starts in the second. At 5 million on an option for next year, I get it. Part of me is hoping they fill out the 2018 rotation with young guys, though, or maybe see if Garza's willing to give the bullpen a shot. He probably adds value to the rotation next year, but there just isn't a lot of upset or joy in it. At least not for me.
-
Always feels good to win going into a day off. I'm pumped about this series. Enjoying the fact that this team is right in it on the edge of September.
-
And probably should have taken 5 of 6 from LA on the year. This team has played the Dodgers really tough. Good to see them overcome some mistakes. Hope the offense comes alive at Miller Park. Let's get hot and win this division!
-
Wow! Huge win. Successful road trip. The Brew Crew is alive and in it!
-
The Dodgers must really trust Jansen. I mean, wow. Just giving Pina a base? Make 'em pay.
-
I think Keon Broxton is a useful MLB player. I'm glad he's a Brewer. But pitches like that last one are my biggest source of frustration. That's not one of Jansen's best. It's 92, middle of the zone, and hanging up a bit. Got to do something with it. Can't keep coming up empty on pitches in the middle of the zone. Edit: Yikes, another one from Arcia.
-
Josh Hader is young. Josh Hader can be frustrating. But Josh Hader is fun to watch pitch. That fastball is so electric. I'm giddy about the damage he could be able to do once he improves command of and confidence in that slider. However they use him next year, I'm excited that he'll start the year on the roster. Stay healthy, Josh!
-
Maybe Hader getting ready for Seager? Geez, Sunday. Lots of mistakes from him today.
-
Whoa! Sogard. A throw Scooter could never have made. Great play!
-
True. I guess the better way to say it is hope Swarzak comes through despite my hesitation.
-
Think I would've stuck with Jimmy. Hope I'm wrong.
