    3-2?

    The Braves lose 2 out of 3 in Oakland and they are so upset that they have a team meeting and come out winning again. The Brewers get swept by the A’s at home (adding to their increasing list of dismal series) and the reaction is that “all teams go through rough patches”. Not all teams are at or near the bottom of virtually every offensive statistic.

    The bizarre thing is that Perkins and Monasterio produced two of the biggest hits the Brewers had in two of their wins over the Reds. It’s the players who were supposed to lead the team that are letting them down the most.
  4. BruisedCrew
    The A’s came into this series with an ERA over 6. The Brewers have managed 6 runs against them in 26 innings, including one inning where they had a gift runner at second and still couldn’t score.

    You have to realize that disappointment and frustration are a function of expectation and hope. After 2021 expectations were high and the results the last two years have not come close to meeting them.

    At least we have the memory of the three months in 2021 when Adames produced like an elite hitter. I don’t think we’ll ever see anything close to that again.

    It would be hard for Tellez to be any more useless than he’s been for the last month.

    Break out the brooms. And while you’re at it, scratch Peralta off the list of ace pitchers.

    In the 11 games that the Brewers have played against teams that weee billed in some fashion as truly terrible teams, they are discouraging 4-7. That’s 0-3 against the Rockies, 1-2 against the Tigers, 3-0 against the Royals (who must really be terrible), and now 0-2 against the A’s. The team they have played with the next worst record is the Cardinals, against whom they have gone 3-3. No further comment is needed because these results speak for themselves.

    Another series against a crappy team where the Brewers go into the finale trying to salvage a game.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Unless they fall behind by 2 runs, the Brewers will have to pinch run for Caratini and give up the DH, which wouldn’t really be an issue for an inning or two.
  12. BruisedCrew
    There’s a run.
  13. BruisedCrew
    At least this dreary game, unlike last night’s, is moving quickly.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Monasterio having a bad day in the field.
  15. BruisedCrew
    That has been proven as surely as it has been proven that the A’s are a terrible team.
  16. BruisedCrew
    I read it. You originally asked why comments like that would bother anyone and I offered my opinion.
  17. BruisedCrew
    That little bobble on what should have been a DP could decide the game.
  18. BruisedCrew
    But why not let people vent without a response that adds nothing?
  19. BruisedCrew
    The A’s are that horrible. I think what drives people crazy is when a poster expresses frustration when the team lays an egg like that and someone feels the need to come along with a comment like that. Everybody knows that even the worst teams win games and series on occasion, but that doesn’t make the dreary losses easier to take. Comments like that come across as pretty insulting and condescending like “I’m a better and smarter fan than you are because I know that good teams can lose to bad teams.” Why not just let people vent?

    We were at the game last night and it was about as dreary a performance as you can imagine. It started with Houser putting the team in a hole and continued through the game. No hits after the second inning and double digit strikeouts against pitchers who shouldn’t be doing that. Even against the worst teams and pitchers in MLB you have to score runs to win, and with this offense that is always a challenge.

    I think the title of the article is a little misleading. If the top 10 payroll teams are 51 games over 500 and the bottom 10 teams are 47 games under 500, it’s hard to say that the high payroll teams are “worse”. There is no question that the expanded playoff system has made it more possible for the small market teams to get into them. But, we will see how this plays out as the large market teams are usually better positioned to make deadline moves to improve their playoff position.

    I believe in regression to the mean when it comes to statistics relating to truly random events. But, I believe in it less when it comes to baseball projections, in part because the mean isn't a certainty and also because there are factors other than randomness that affect performance. In baseball, I believe in players having bad seasons and players having breakout seasons that present a significant deviation from their previous performances. In the first part of the season it's hard to tell if a player is having one of those, or is just going through a hot or cold spell. Coming into the season I thought the Brewers offense would be close to league average because of the large number of question marks. Of course, they have been significantly worse than that. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that the rest of the season will be much different. This collection of players might just be showing who they really are at this stage of their careers.

    Just a brutal game to attend in person. It defied the pitch clock to drag on despite very little happening. We left after the seventh inning figuring (correctly) we wouldn’t miss anything. With this pathetic offense, I think it’s time to consider the Pirates the Brewers equals until proven otherwise.

    A’s carrying their momentum from Pittsburgh.

    Here’s my nominee for the “misuse of statistics” award for today. Steven Watson “ Good news, the Brewers are 10-3 in one run games so maybe some hope for the Crew to come back”. Tuesday’s game notwithstanding, the vast majority of those one run wins come from protecting or hanging on to leads, not coming from behind. At least this game won’t tarnish that one run game stat.
