Sure looked like it. Even accounting for the ball being hit in front of the plate and hooking.
-
I think being able to slide into a base in a way that allows the runner to hold the base is a skill. Oversliding like that suggests to me that he was a little out of control, not just a victim of bad luck.
-
Most likely neither.

In some important ways it’s not even the same team the Brewers faced a few weeks ago. They have added Abbott (who, of course, shut down the Brewers) de la Cruz, and Votto, who may be well past his prime but can still add a veteran presence. I’m not saying that they will, or should, run away with the division. But I won’t be surprised if, after they come down from this torrid streak, they still have enough weapons to at least stay with the Brewers. They remind me in a general way of teams like the Cubs and Royals in the 2014-15 period when they made a dramatic jump from doormat to winning team. Or like the Brewers in 2007 and 2017.

Rookies, unproven players, and players well past their prime. Who does that remind you of? Maybe BA isn’t a good measure of offense in 2023, but runs scored should be and the Brewers are among the worst in MLB, and the very worst over the last 54 games. Maybe the Reds will collapse, but it isn’t going to take much to win this division, and they have a significant number of weapons.

You have a different definition of “inconsistent” than I do when it comes to the Brewers offense. In my book an offense that has scored the fewest runs in MLB over the last 54 games (a quarter of a season) is bad, not inconsistent. “Inconsistent” is a word that homer announcers often use to describe their teams.
-
And about the Brewers when they started 15-6.
-
Hopefully this is the start of something good from Adames and not just one hot game.
-
When we expected a team to go on a long winning streak to take control of the division we thought of the wrong team in red.
-
De La Cruz completes his cycle and the Reds lead 11-7. Good thing they aren’t to be taken seriously as contenders.
-
Wiemer was lucky he was safe at third because Urias was hobbling toward the plate.
-
Two HBP, a de la Cruz single (now just needs a triple for the cycle) and Votto’s second HR and it’s 9-7 Reds.
-
Finally, a big hit from Willie. Now the pitchers have a rare cushion.
-
Olson HR puts Braves back on top 7-5.
-
Brewers are getting to Bieber. No Ks that inning.
-
Reds tie it on a Votto HR. How come it doesn’t take everyone a minor league rehab and then a few weeks in MLB before becoming productive?
-
For the next week they’ll be talking about how Winker got the monkey off his back with a HR while he goes right back to striking out on 4 of 5 ABs.
-
Levering loves to make excuses for the Brewers.
-
5-4 now in the third as de la Cruz homers after an earlier double.
-
Bieber might not have been striking out many, but the Brewers are the antidote to whatever ails a pitcher in that department.
-
Jose Ramirez has been smoking hot for the last two weeks (OPS 1.307) after a relatively tepid first two months. He’s the type of star who can carry a team; the Brewers have to do their best to neutralize him.
-
The hitting is very consistent What the Brewers need is BETTER hitting.
-
I thought this article was going to be one word.

Expecting to win a game 1-0 against a powerful hitting team is pretty unrealistic. The Diamondbacks had base runners left and right, and they were going to score some eventually.
-
As compared to the offense?
