So, in 6 games against the Cardinals, the Brewers scored a grand total of 14 runs. Against the supposedly horrible Cardinals SP, the Brewers scored 8 runs in 34 innings, giving them an ERA of 2.11. The Cardinals dealt the Brewers 2 shutouts and one de facto shutout in the 18-1 game where the Brewers only run came long after the game was decided
-
That is my point. The Rays are beating everyone, especially at home. A Brewers team that is having trouble scoring runs going into a series against a team that is scoring in buckets is tough enough. Going in with only one of their top four SP makes it that much tougher.
-
A much needed win with the bullpen covering so many innings and runs still hard to come by.
-
Any complaints on that strike 2 call to Donovan? Brewers better win this one because there’s not going to be much of a bullpen tomorrow.
-
The Brewers are starting to get to Montgomery. No strikeouts that inning. He still needs 3 more to reach his season high of 9. Guess who that was against?
-
Good thing a guy hauling a piano was running on that one. Why wouldn’t you walk Arenado here?
-
You can’t resist those LOL’s can you? Is that what makes you feel superior? I hadn’t seen probables for the weekend but figured it would be Houser, Peralta, and Miley. But, if they’re planning on starting Lauer or some other minor leaguer that’s not any better.
-
Colin Rea should be back soon. The Rays sweeping the Brewers this weekend just got that much more likel
-
I don’t think any Brewers fans are buying laments by Cardinals fans that their team is no good.
-
I was going to post that one key for the Brewers tonight was to score at least as many runs as the Cardinals get on HRs by Arenado and Goldschmidt. Now they’re tied 1-1.
-
I think it’s a valid concern that the Brewers offense has been trending downward since their good start, especially that opening home stand against the Mets. In their first six games, the Brewers scored 38 runs despite being shut out on opening day. Since then they’ve scored barely 4 runs a game. They have been especially quiet on the road. My guess is that the Phillies, Mets, and Padres, are all projected to score more than the Brewers, given that they have more reliable weapons in their lineups. For the Phillies and Padres, getting Harper and Tatis back in their lineups is likely to pay off over the long haul.

So much for my hope yesterday that Yelich might be free of some of the back problems that have plagued him in the past. Might make sense to sit him today and tomorrow and see how he is after the off day.
-
I can if I want. And you can disagree if you want (and you have). The Rays are 19-3 at home and the losses are to the Yankees and Astros. The Brewers will be going in there without Burnes as one of their starters. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb to say that the over-under on Brewers wins in that series would be .5 and under would get its share of the action.
-
I don’t feel any different about last night’s game because of the 10 meaningless runs in the 8th inning than I would have felt without them. For all intents and purposes the Brewers lost that game in the first inning when they failed to score with the bases loaded and one out and one of their top pitchers surrendered a 3 run HR 4 batters in. After that it was just another of the all too frequent non competitive games from the dysfunctional Brewers offense. The Brewers have to find a way to scrape out a win today or tomorrow or an 0-6 week is looking likely with the Rays coming up next.
-
In this dumpster fire division they don’t have that far to go.
-
This has the makings of a classic series where the Cardinals slap the Brewers around for 3 days.
-
They were already revived when they swept the Red Sox over the weekend to make it 6 wins in 7 games. Apparently everyone who wrote them off in April didn’t notice.
-
Same old Cardinals.
-
What’s different about this one is that the Brewers seem to be the consensus choice as the team to beat in the division. If they can sweep this series they will not only pull within a manageable 4.5 games of the Brewers after being 10 games out of first a little over a week ago, but show that they don’t take a back seat to anyone in the division.
-
I didn’t vote in the poll because none of the choices reflect what I think. My benchmark for Yelich is first half of 2018, which statistically looked pretty similar to his last couple of years with the Marlins. But it was really our first chance to see him in action on a regular basis, and I was impressed with how he sprayed the ball around the field and flashed some power. At the All Star break I think he had about 12 HR and an OPS in the low .800s.. Nobody could have predicted what he did for the next year and a half, which might have been aided by what appeared to be a lively ball. Because he had a stretch right about this time last year that made it look like he was returning to form, I’m at best hopefully optimistic that he’s going to return to something close to that benchmark. I recall that even in his best years Yelich had some issues with upper body injuries, like back spasms and maybe an oblique issue that put him on the IL . Maybe some of the numbers about his throwing indicate that he is healthier than he has been for a few years. 🤞🏻Fingers crossed

The Cards have gained some traction in the last week, winning 6 of 7 while scoring lots of runs. They have to be looking at this series as a chance to show that reports of their demise were premature and greatly exaggerated.

Very typically condescending of you. Maybe a better idea to consider the entire context of the comment. It seems to me that results are numbers too, and in many cases can be just as reliable, if not more so, than some of the advanced metrics. If nothing else, things that only consider batted ball events, thereby ignoring strikeouts, can really be misleading. -

Nice to pull that one out after the rough start from Houser and not much offense except for the Yelich HRs until the 9th. -

I don’t know what to make of a stat like “average launch angle”. Is that a median or mean average or what? If it’s a mean, you’d get the same result with a bunch of groundouts and pop ups as you would with a bunch of line drives. Nobody is going to convince me with numbers that Yelich has been hitting the ball the same as he did in 2018, even in the first half of the season before his blistering second half. He didn’t hit that many HRs, but he hit a lot of line drives to left, left center, and straight away. Hopefully his recent performance, including the two bombs tonight, is the start of some extended production and not just a flash in the pan like he showed briefly in May last year.
