  1. He’d be eligible to come off the IL a little before that. Remember that the IL for pitchers is 15 days. But the Brewers have said that he is on a schedule to hopefully return by September 16. I’d be surprised if he’s back that soon.
  2. The Brewers best offense tonight was the Pirates defense. Now need Uribe to finish this out without walks or other drama.
  3. Not to be greedy but needed more there with a struggling pitcher. This game isn’t ending 3-2 and that was a big chance to add on.
  4. I’m not advocating for Bauers. Just pointing that nobody has delivered a big hit or RBI the last couple,of days.
  5. The Brewers have one freaking hit in 4 innings, but if it makes everyone feel better to pile on Bauers go ahead.
  6. The Pirates are well on their way to 10.
  7. After the 5 run 1st on Wednesday the offense has been AWOL for 18 innings. Can’t afford a hitting slump now with the pitching staff in tatters.
  8. Like it or not the Brewers keep Bauers because he provides things Hoskins and Vaughn don’t. Besides being a left handed bat he has more speed and is a better defender. Hoskins and Vaughn are redundant players who they would likely never play at the same time except possibly if Yelich goes on the IL and opens up the DH spot
  9. Trying to navigate the season with SP who struggle to cover 5 innings and not adding depth in the bullpen at the deadline like most playoff contenders did?
  10. When the games are on Apple TY I opt for the Brewers radio feed in place of their announcers who seem to treat the game as a sideshow while they chat about things.
  11. Probably not today as the Cubs already have a quick 5 against the pitching staff the Brewers padded their stats against last month.
  12. Too many awful series in PNC Park against bad Pirates teams to take anything for granted there. And this team has been playing better since they shed some of the veterans. Unfortunately they still have Brian Reynolds The Brewers had to come from behind in the final game to salvage a split there in May. I would be happy winning 2 of 3 and getting out of town.
  13. If the Brewers lost their last 22 in a row it would accomplish a few things: 1. The team would be remembered forever for the greatest collapse of all time 2.We would never again declare a division race over in mid August because the projections show a team has a 95% chance of prevailing. 3. We could expect pigs to fly.
  14. Pirates complete sweep over the Dodgers and will be ready for the Brewers as they limp in.
  15. Maybe Mears? he has looked pretty bad lately and that’s often a symptom of wearing down from overuse.
  16. Very disappointing loss. With the problems with the pitching staff it really hurts to,lose one that could have been won with just a couple, of runs. But the lineup the Brewers put out there today is going to have trouble scoring against decent pitching. So, , the Brewers finish a difficult stretch of their schedule losing 11 of their last 19 after the 14 game winning streak. They lost 4 games in the standings to the Phillies and 3 1/2 games to the Cubs. When we looked at the schedule a few weeks ago it looked like the games would get a little easier after the Phillies series. But now, the Pirates and Rangers are two of the hotter teams in MLB. The Pirates have won 11 of their last 16 and the Rangers (still fighting for a playoff spot) have won 11 of 17. The Brewers have had some success at PNC Park, but it has also been the scene of some epic Brewer disasters. This road trip is going to be interesting and telling.
  17. With this bottom of the order I thought “If Durbin doesn’t drive in a run they aren’t scoring.”. He didn’t and they didn’t.
  18. Going all out on avoiding LH hitters against Suarez. Both Turang and Frelick on the bench.
  19. I think the shakiest thought or assumption in these if/then scenarios is that the Brewers playing a mere .500 the rest of the way is a floor or worst case scenario. I’m not predicting that the Brewers will play worse than .500 the rest of the way, but I think that if the Cubs catch or make a strong run at the Brewers it will involve the Brewers playing under .500, not the Cubs winning almost 80% of their remaining games Something like the Brewers finishing 9-13 while the Cubs finish 15-7 to create a tie at 95-67 Most of the most notorious collapses in MLB history involve a team that was sailing along suddenly running into a rough spot that turns into a significant slump. I don’t think the Brewers are immune to that kind of rough patch, especially given the state of their pitching staff.
  20. That’s an amusing brain teaser but I have an opinion. The Brewers magic number to ensure finishing ahead of each of the teams is 17 so, from that standpoint, the leads are equal. But, because the Phillies have one more game left to play, than the Cubs, there is one more game in which the Brewers can pick up one of those 17, so the lead over the Phillies is very slightly more comfortable. As a rule of thumb, now that the Brewers have clinched the tiebreaker over the Phillies, a lead of X games over the Phillies is equivalent to a lead of X+1 games over the Cubs I know there is some sentiment that strength of schedule is largely irrelevant, but the Phillies have a tougher remaining schedule with upcoming series against the Mets, Royals, and Dodgers, all teams fighting for playoff positions.
  21. They're more stressful when the team has surrendered several big leads in recent weeks, including some they’ve held on to.
  22. If past history is any indication Yelich will be out for 4 or 5 days while the Brewers play down a man and then he’ll go on the IL.
  23. So it sounds like both Chourio and Yelich are dealing with something. No reason to have Yelich out against a very hittable RHP.
  24. The story I saw is that Chourio felt some “cramping” in his hamstring after Monday’s game. No matter how you slice it that isn’t good news.
