  1. The odds are heavily against the Brewers facing the Phillies in a playoff series.
  2. They don’t have to harp on his slump, but I think it’s time for the announcers to stop talking about Yelich like he’s hitting well.
  3. We can say that he wouldn’t have gotten out of the inning with one pitch if he had started the inning. I didn’t say Uribe shouldn’t start an inning. I was just responding to a poster who said something to the effect of “why wouldn’t you have him start an inning”. I suspect that his outing last Sunday gave Counsell some pause about bringing him in today. I would have lifted Miley after the Bohm HR, but I can see why Counsell tried to squeeze more out of him with Milner and Williams presumably unavailable Just to be clear, what is your point? Are you saying that Uribe should ONLY be used to start innings and NEVER with runners on base. Or that he can be used either way? If it’s the latter you agree with me.
  4. His “hot” streaks haven’t been lasting too long.
  5. You’re just arguing in circles now. He certainly wouldn’t have gotten out of the inning in one pitch if he started the inning. But after that one pitch he ran into some problems. So, having him start the inning last week didn’t work out. Bringing him in today with a runner on base could have worked out. Those two outings together don’t suggest that he should only be used to start an inning. But, with a pitcher who can be wild there is going to be risk either way.
  6. I don’t necessarily prefer it, but he would have been out of this inning with one pitch if Turang turns the DP. So he can be used with runners in base.
  7. The games the last two Sundays say it is.
  8. His inning against the Padres with a 10-4 lead might be one reason to hesitate.
  9. And that’s what happens when you give them extra outs. Looks like this might be a Meatloaf series.
  10. Can’t give a good hitting team like this extra outs.
  11. Ugh. Sure DP ball if Turang can make the throw.
  12. 2 runs was never likely to be enough to win this game.
  13. Miley might be done. A lot of hard hit balls.
  14. They did change it to the correct error call.
  15. The fly balls are really flying today.
  16. That did not look like a HR swing. Looked he was a little out in front.
  17. IMHO, the best result from this series is the Reds winning 3 of 4 and the second best is the teams going 2-2 so that neither is on too much of a roll. So, with the Reds up 2-1 it’s a near wash, though I will be rooting against the Cubs, as I almost always do.
  18. Just to tie this up, here is a picture of that play just as Bohm is fielding the ball. We can agree to disagree whether Bohm would have beaten Santana to the bag.
  19. So, you think “everyone else’s” agrees with you? What is that based on? A couple of “likes” from predictable sources? You’ve made your point, and I have disagreed with it. I think I know better than you and your friends what I meant when I responded to edfunderburk’s post. Time to move on. I’m going to the game tonight so you won’t have to deal with my posts at least until I get home. Enjoy it.
  20. There are multiple posters on this board that band together and like each other’s posts almost reflexively. But that signature was in response to a specific incident two years ago. It was in August and the Brewers had a 7;game lead in the division and I posted something about the remaining schedules for the Brewers and second place Reds. I got a response telling me that there was no point in raising that because, in that poster’s opinion, the race was “statistically over” (whatever that even means). He cited the fact that the projections showed the Brewers with close to a 95% chance of winning the division, as if nobody has ever failed with those projections. He then said that even bringing up that point meant that I expected the Brewers to blow the division race, a total non sequitur). I recognize that I often take a more cautious or negative approach than some others . But just raising or recognizing something as a possibility is clearly different than expecting it to happen. IMHO that is an erroneous leap of logic, and that’s what Brewcrew82 did yesterday. When that happens I’m going to push back on it. The fact that you and several of the other usual posters patted him on the back doesn’t make him any more right.
  21. There was no implication. It was a simple statement that I’d rather be in Europe (for the first time in my life by the way) than worrying about Brewers-Cubs games. Sorry if you can’t comprehend that.
  22. Necessary? No. Was it necessary for them to interpret my comment the way they did instead of the way it was clearly written? Should I have interpreted this statement as assuming that the Brewers were going to lose and the Cubs were going to sweep? I didn’t. I note that your only posts this week have been to critique mine. Why not talk about the games and the team?
  23. I guess that’s where we disagree. I think Bohm starting on his heels can cover 10-15 feet faster than old Santana with a sore ankle can cover 60.
