  1. The Brewers can’t go for a series win tonight, but they can at least keep the Giants from clinching the season series with 2 more games to play.
  2. I’m certainly not saying that every player on the roster is performing as well as they can. But as a group I’m not sure that sitting back and waiting for them to produce more runs than they have in the first 50 games (and especially the last 44 games) is going to be successful. While there are some hitters that have clearly underperformed (with Adames topping the list) there are some who have produced as much or more than should be expected from them, like Miller, Tellez, and Anderson. There are a lot of question marks, like whether Yelich can maintain his pace of the last month, whether Contreras is going to labor some in his first year as a full time number one catcher, whether the rookies can figure out MLB pitching, etc. While the team is 27-23, they are also 13-18 in their last 31 games as the injuries to the SP have piled up. If Woodruff and Miley don’t return until after the All Star break (a definite possibility) the next 40 games might look more like the last 31 than the first 19. They certainly won’t be close to “full strength” before then even if they are fortunate enough to not have any more major injuries.
  3. I recognize the injuries, but I don’t think they have had a huge impact on the offense, and I don’t see Urias coming back or adding another rookie as adding much to that. The injuries to the pitchers have had a bigger impact, but they are also much longer term. The only thing keeping the Brewers afloat is the expanded playoffs and the weak division because 85 wins (or even less) could be enough to make the playoffs. I have a hard time lowering my standards to the point of accepting a team this flawed as a playoff contender after watching some of the Brewers teams of the Yount-Molitor era that were much stronger and much more fun to watch that couldn’t come close to the playoffs.
  4. Now that the game is out of reach I’m expecting a meaningless solo homer to break up the shutout.
  5. They are. Unless they score a meaningless run in the late innings (as they often do) this would be their 7th shut out. The Mets have 7. In the AL, KC and Oakland (2 really awful teams) have 8 and.7.
  6. A good portion of that overachievement came in the first week.
  7. Woodruff having to take a few days off on his throwing rehab doesn’t seem to bode well for a return before the All Star break.
  8. The Brewers offense has really returned to the “home run or nothing” mode. In the nine games starting with the Cardinals series last week they have scored 26 runs, which is already pretty weak. By my count 18 of those 26 runs have come home on 15 home runs. It’s pretty amazing that they have been able to win 4 games with that kind of production.
  9. How often are home games over at 2:20?
  10. The percentage of Brewers runs on HR the last few series continues to grow.
  11. Adames didn’t “just miss” that one on the bat.
  12. The Rays run differential took a hit tonight. Trailing 10-1 going into the 8th they went to the position players and ended up losing 20-1.
  13. If you can’t get a hit with RISP you just keep running until they throw you out. That was a nice gift run.
  14. Brewers not too frustrated. Anderson and Turang both break their bats slamming them into the ground after failing to hit meatballs.
  15. There’s the Brewers offense. Solo HR.
  16. Way to have your head in the game Rowdy. 🙄
  17. This is pretty scary when you think about who the starting pitchers are going to be the next 3 or 4 days.
