    If finishing below .500 and making watered down playoffs in the COVID season is a success, and winning over 90 games and finishing several games away from a division title is a failure, then the last 6 years have been more successful.
  2. BruisedCrew
    Not entirely true. They were better in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
  3. BruisedCrew
    I agree, but your post referred only to the draft.
  4. BruisedCrew
    A team shouldn’t have to draft a first baseman to find a competent one. Draft the best players available regardless of position and build the major league roster with trades and free agents filling in what your system doesn’t provide.
  5. BruisedCrew
    Sure, but a major league first baseman helps prevent errors and the Brewers don’t have one.
  6. BruisedCrew
    I guess the Brewers record of being 14-5 in one run games wasn’t sustainable.
  7. BruisedCrew
    Not a good time to be playing the Reds 6 in a row.
  8. BruisedCrew
    The throw was not that far off and Miller’s footwork was messed up. Not having a major league first baseman is hurting the Brewers at the plate and in the field.
  9. BruisedCrew
    So now the Brewers go into tomorrow facing Stroman with the bullpen not in the greatest shape.
  10. BruisedCrew
    Another kick in the gut while the Reds cruise to another win.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Good thing no robots that inning.

    His pitch count wasn’t that high, but they finally put some on him in the 6th. They have let him throw over 100 pitches to complete 7 innings, and with only 67 pitches through 5, with two more quick innings I think they would have let him at least start the 8th. This is probably his last appearance before the All Star break, and with the heavy work in their bullpen the last few days I would have expected him to go into the 8th if his pitch count was around 90. But, the Brewers 6th took that off the table.
  13. BruisedCrew
    While Steele is looking like he might be able to go 8.
  14. BruisedCrew
    That’s the good news, but it’s taking Houser so many pitches to grind through these innings that he’ll be lucky if he makes it through five. More stress on an already overworked bullpen.
  15. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers starting pitching is starting to look pretty mediocre. Couldn’t afford to fall behind again tonight, but Houser wasn’t up to the task. A lot more innings for the bullpen to cover.
  16. BruisedCrew
    His throws from third always have an arc. Anderson is so much better I’m glad they now have some OF depth so he can play there regularly.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Don’t want to see Miller at third any more than necessary. His arm is weak and, as just shown, not that accurate.

    I did mean that the scalding took place on Friday not the mismanaging, but I can see how it might sound like that. I chose the wording the way I did (instead of “mismanaging the pen on Friday” ) because the comments are on the Friday game thread. I don’t remember anyone saying on Tuesday “Why is he bringing in Wilson (even though he hasn’t pitched in 6 days). This might come back to bite him in a few days if he has to use Wilson for multiple innings tomorrow if Miley only goes 4 innings and all of Milner, Peguero, Payamps and Williams each of the next two days to pull out wins.”
  19. BruisedCrew
    The second guessing on the board on Friday wasn’t so much that he made a mistake on Friday but that his mistake on Tuesday (using Wilson for an inning) put him in the position he got into on Friday.

    I was an avid Strat O Matic player back in my college and grad school days in the 70’s. The thing there is that, unlike real baseball, if you know what you’re doing, the precise mathematical probabilities are staring you in the face. But many times the dice and cards wouldn’t produce the desired result. At least there you knew you made the correct move and could just blame bad luck. Plus, there were no fans telling you how stupid you are.
  21. BruisedCrew
    You mean this one?

    Like I said, I don’t care much what they do, but it is certain that if just writers and the Commissioner’s office made the selections, there would still be plenty of controversy over who gets selected and who gets “snubbed”. When they took away the fan vote in 1957 after the Cincinnati ballot stuffing episode (which you may or may not know about) they found interest in the game waning. So, they put a fan voting system in place again in the 70’ s and there has been some form of it ever since. Take the vote away from fans and have a bunch of writers (who have their own biases) applying various standards to make selections probably wouldn’t make you any happier if a Brewer or some other player that you think is deserving isn’t selected. It’s not like fans are universally satisfied with writers’ selections on postseason awards.

    I have been thinking that as I listen to Rotino go on and on about how Counsell outwitted Ross by setting up the Kay vs Jones matchup. If Jones pops up the first pitch you’d be hearing “how can you put a guy like that up there in that spot, and then he swings at the first pitch”. This is the same manager that was.scalded on this board on Friday for mismanaging the bullpen.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Thank you for that strike 3 call. A surprising and great win made doubly good considering the opponent
  25. BruisedCrew
    For those of you who don’t remember Schoop’s one shining moment as a Brewer.
