    Yep. Game times for these telecasts are not set for the convenience of ticket buying fans wanting to attend in person. Being home watching on TV I don’t mind the early start. But I’ll bet the stands are going to be pretty empty.

    He’s 100% a Badger guy who IMHO has an annoying sing song approach to talking. And he could never seem to be able to go too long without bringing up something relating to the Badgers. If you’re a Badger fan (which I’m not) you probably like him on Brewers telecasts. If you aren’t you’d probably be inclined to turn the sound down or not.

    Don’t forget that the Cubs are now just 2.5 games back of the Brewers. So, while the Brewers have stayed just a half game behind by beating up on the Reds, the Cubs have gone on a tear to move from 8.5 games out of first place just two weeks ago to 3 games out now. This is now undeniably a 3 team race, and just jogging in place may not be good enough to get and stay ahead of both of the other teams. The way I look at it, anything less than 5 wins in these 7 home games against two last place teams will represent a step backward in the division race.

    Candelario is 6 for 7 in his first two games for the Cubs as they follow up their 20 run performance of last night by coming back from a 5-2 deficit to,lead the Reds 8-5 in the 6th. It takes over a week for the Brewers to score 28 runs and it might take that long for Santana and Canha combined to get 6 hits.

    I made the comment during the game that a 7 inning start from the best starters occasionally would help reduce the load on the bullpen. After the response that 7 inning starts don’t happen that often any more, I found something from earlier this season that 12% of all starts were 7 innings or more. My guess would be that the “elite” starters would account for a high percentage of that 12%. Burnes has had 4 starts of 7+ innings, but Peralta has had none. His inefficiency is one of the things that keeps him from being elite. Maybe Woodruff can get built up and be defective enough to help with this down the road.

    The double whammy is that now they go to the Pirates series with the bullpen short tomorrow after heavy use the last two days.

    Anderson is generally good but we can’t forget the bad throw he made that contributed to a bad loss against the Cubs. No guarantee he doesn’t do the same thing today.
  8. BruisedCrew
    Bad loss, bad series loss, terrible road trip.
  9. BruisedCrew
    The danger of needing 5 relievers to all be perfect to pull out a 2-1 win.

    With Levering’s comment about Wiemer I had a Ted Lasso flash: ”He’s here, he’s there, he’s every f****** where…Joey Wiemer”.

    The Brewers could use some robot hitters who recognize the strike zone.
  12. BruisedCrew
    I was thinking that REALLY good baserunnjng would have been to break to third when the SS let the throw go to first. With the throw coming from deep in the hole he likely could have made it to third before the first baseman could field the throw and send a return throw back to third. That would have earned extra credit.

    Not saying I expect it every time, but when almost every game is close and there are no off days in the near future it can be a big help to do,it once in a while. With Miley only going 4 today it’s going to take 4 or 5 relievers to get a win today. Even one more inning from Peralta last night would have helped a little.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Still have to deal with the transition as Miley and Woodruff work their way back in. The bullpen is going to be busy, especially if Burnes and Peralta can’t go past the 6th inning.
  15. BruisedCrew
    At least until the Cubs knocked him out of the game in the fourth inning on Monday. And they did it in their first try.

    Or in a tiebreaker situation. I think it’s most common in the NFL where the tiebreaker procedures can be so convoluted. A team could be behind one team in the standings and out of the playoffs in one of those “If the season ended today” presentations. But, if the trailing team has a game remaining against a team with a better record, and would hold the tiebreaker over them, they could still “control their own destiny”. We could hear it this year with the Brewers and Reds or other teams, but probably not until much later in the season, like the final week.
  17. BruisedCrew
    That’s it. in my experience the phrase isn’t used in baseball (or really any sport) until later in the season when winning out is realistically possible.
  18. BruisedCrew
    I have literally only heard the phrase “control your own destiny” in sports to mean that a team can accomplish something by winning its own games regardless of the results of any other games.

    The Cubs apparently didn’t find him to be as mystifying as the Brewers did as they scored 9 total runs against him in 4 starts.
  20. BruisedCrew
    So, all they have to do is win out.

    I actually did go to a Brewers-Cubs game at Wrigley a few years ago and I wasn’t that amused by the guy next to me who thought it was OK to reach over me and my daughter to high five the Cubs fans on the other side of us whenever the Cubs did anything.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Just go to a Cubs-Brewers game at AFF and you might change your mind. Be sure to sit directly in front of Cubs fans.

    I have been wondering how long Frelick is going to last the way he charges around and leaps wildly into walls and other fielders.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Back to back great ABs from Turang and Wiemer.

    Players will need a few weeks to get over the Urias trade.
