  1. Love the way this team fights (literally and metaphorically, I suppose). Looking at the pitching matchups, I was very worried coming in. They might still lose two of three, there's something good happening with this team.
  2. Kind of feel like maybe this is not where you want Viera. Honestly surprised he started the inning...hope they can keep it from hurting.
  3. I was thinking about that game a lot today. Probably my favorite Brewer win of my lifetime. Game 5 in 2011 was great, but beating the Cubs at Wrigley to clinch a division, after ripping off like 8 in a row, was just awesome. Never felt a regular season like that, and game 163s are now a thing of the past. Those, along with the '82 pennant clincher, have to be the top 3.
  4. I am thrilled to be 19-11. Seriously, this start has been way more than I expected. It's 30 games, but I would have jumped at that record if you'd offered it to me in February. That it's been achieved even with all the injuries and the thin pitching staff is incredible.
  5. When I was umping (mostly youth baseball, U-14, U-16, etc.), I always found it pretty simple to line up your angle and get a view of the ball and the foot. It was a little trickier from the runner-on-first, behind-the-mound position, but still pretty easy. I also think the usual default call is out. Past a certain point, your eye has no idea anyway, and the sound never much helped me.
  6. Saw Chafin is pitching well this year so far. Does not compute. ;)
  7. I wonder if maybe we're getting to the point where the pitchers peripherals love are also going to be the ones more likely to get hurt... I have always liked Rea. The Kyle Hendricks, really solid number 3 starter kind of guys always seem undervalued.
  8. I think it'll be mid-May. Hopefully he can get his timing back quickly. Last McCalvy tweet I saw had Yelich saying something about "usually this would be the time I'd rush back, but I've learned not to do that." Or something like that. I have faith.
  9. It always seemed pretty weird to me, so makes sense. Also makes me realize the Brewers don't seem to have a suspension thing happening much recently. Maybe that was one area where Murphy and CC disagreed (partly blue).
  10. My recollection is that these things usually take a while. Am I making this up, or are appeals often heard when the team is NY or Philly or Boston or something? I feel like I remember guys getting appeals heard when their teams travel near the league office. Obviously, Zoom changes all that, but I'm not sure it's actually expedited things...
  11. Three days in a row where pretty egregiously bad calls have gone against the Brewers. That's some rough luck.
  12. Well, I guess Freddy will be rested for his next start? What a ridiculous situation. It is very frustrating when people are bad at their jobs and then compound the situation by pretending not to be.
  13. Hoping Peralta can continue this level of efficiency. A deep start would be fantastic.
  14. String of good ABs this inning. Solid singles, stolen bases, sac flies. Love it.
  15. Love to see Jackson with a solid basehit. He's such a threat to steal every time.
  16. You know, I think this place is still pretty cool. It's the best place to follow Brewers baseball. I don't have any ideas, other than keep up the good work.
  17. What happened on the Sanchez injury? I am listening tonight and was tending to the child.
  18. Man, I thought that was a great AB by Chourio. He K'd, but fouled off some tough pitches.
  19. Wilson has been pitching so well tonight. I mean, I don't know how good the peripherals are, but the results have been awesome. Big time help to this team.
  20. This is part of the Chourio ride. He's got to fight through these stretches. Obviously, it's might get to a point where you have to protect his confidence and give him a reset of some sort, but the other thing is that we don't really have many better options at the moment. When Mitchell is back healthy, I could maybe see Chourio as a 4th outfielder for stretches. Things would have to get really bad for him to go down to AAA. If we have another OFer we want up, he's gotta come up for Weimer.
  21. I believe in Hall. Others may not. That's cool. Even as a bullpen piece, though, Hall adds multi-inning depth. We need that. We've also played like 80% of our games against teams over .500. This has been a hard April, and we've weathered it well. I have to think we'll cool off on the road and start playing better at home. This next schedule stretch isn't quite so bad. It's baseball, so you never know, but there's definitely a chance to go 15-10 over these next 25. 30-20 through 50 would be an excellent start.
  22. They need Hall and Junis healthy. At the very least, that eats innings. Williams return will help too, but that's still two months away. You just need guys like Ashby and Gasser to contribute. Koenig has. Myers has. I am thrilled to be 17-10 after this schedule.
  23. I will be glad to be done with the Yankees. Not sure about their pen, but they look like World Series favorites to me. Imagine that lineup when Judge starts hitting.
  24. Today kind of felt like one they'd have to punt.
