    You have no idea how a robot would have called that. It might have touched the TV strike zone which might or might not be the correct strike zone.
  2. BruisedCrew
    That was my point. The Brewers don’t beat teams (including the Reds) by bludgeoning.
  3. BruisedCrew
    But I can hate on their fans when they pull out the insipid Tomahawk Chop.
  4. BruisedCrew
    Not really. The Brewers beat the Reds by shutting them down and eking out a couple of runs. The Braves are bludgeoning the Brewers this weekend.

    Most of what you're saying is talking around the point I was making. I should have made it clearer that the 3 series I mentioned are not just any random series that took place this season, but are the Braves 3 most recent series other than the two Brewers series. So, it isn't like the Brewers are catching the Braves when they are exceptionally hot. The historical summary of teams winning the World Series has nothing to do with my comment about what the Brewers (even with a few roster changes) would face if they played the Braves in a 7 game series. I never said that underdogs can’t win short series, and don’t need to be reminded that they do win them. . I don't think anyone has said anything that suggests that they think the Brewers would be anything other than heavy underdogs if they faced the Braves in a 7 game series, and probably wouldn't win. My point never was that the Braves are inevitably going to win the World Series. When the favorites to win the series have probabilities of winning in the 15-20% range, it should be expected that the top favorite, or even one of the top 2 favorites will not win half the time or more. And, occasionally a team farther back in the field will get hot and win. If it comes down to the favorite to win the World Series vs "The Field", a record of 3-4 is actually pretty high.

    For the record I did not say “impossible”. But your summary highlights that the Brewers would need a lot of “ifs” to go their way to win a 7 game series against the Braves.
  7. BruisedCrew
    The Braves have lost series to the White Sox, DBacks (who aren’t beating anyone else), and Red Sox, but they are pounding on the Brewers. Haven’t seen Strider, Fried, or Morton either. Kind of a sobering reminder of what the Brewers would be up against if they had to face the Braves in a 7 game series.

    The Cubs are only 4 games out and keep adding to their positive run differential.🤮
  9. BruisedCrew
    That wouldn’t be anywhere near enough anyway.
  10. BruisedCrew
    Might have to reconsider whether Houser is the best candidate to be removed from the rotation.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Movie night.
  12. BruisedCrew
    No, it’s just an observation and opinion. When a player who has been out as long as he has goes down writhing in pain while warming up to come into a game it looks like he’ll be out for awhile. With only two months left in the season I would doubt that he will have time to recover and rehab.
  13. BruisedCrew
    Look,out for the Cubs. Tauchman pulled what would have been a game winning homer for the Cardinals back in and the Cubs hot streak continues.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Not nearly as bad as the Brewers may be the understatement of the year. The Brewers are currently 14th in the NL in runs per game, and have scored just 1 run more than the Marlins. The 5 World Champion Cardinals and Giants teams you mentioned were: 06 Cardinals 6th 10 Giants- 9th 11 Cardinals- 1st 12 Giants- 6th 14 Giants- 5th So, 4 of those 5 teams were above league average in offense and the fifth was barely below league average in R/G.
  15. BruisedCrew
    One disappointing thing here is that the Braves have lost 6 of their last 7 games against teams other than the Brewers (White Sox, DBacks, and Red Sox. With Strider missing both series this would seem to be a good time to be facing them, but the Brewers haven’t been able to take advantage.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Looks,like Justin Wilson is done for the season.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I don’t think swapping Frelick and Adames would make much, if any, difference as long as Adames keeps hitting the way he has been.
  18. BruisedCrew
    I’m usually one who thinks discussion about the batting order is overdone because it generally doesn’t make a lot of difference as long as your better hitters are near the top so they get as many ABs as possible. But, I really feel like batting Frelick first instead of fourth makes more sense. His HR notwithstanding, my impression is that Frelick’s strength is going to be more getting on base than hitting for power and XBHs. I think it’s as simple as thinking that I’d rather have Yelich up with Frelick on first than the other way around because of Yelich’s greater XBH potential. So, put Frelick first and Yelich second and hope at least one of them gets on base.

    Guess I haven’t followed Bush’s exploits since he went on the IL after that fateful night in Pittsburgh.
  20. BruisedCrew
    I like the deal, but the Brewers should have thrown in Matt Bush, in hopes that the Pirates would use him against Santana.
  21. BruisedCrew
    I suspect the shuttle will still be in heavy use to fill the bullpen.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Big win in the last “”two game swing” game of the season with the Reds. When I saw Mejia throwing next to Williams after Montaserio’s RBI double, I was actually hoping Miller wouldn’t drive in the run. Especially with a day off tomorrow I’d rather see Williams with a 3 run lead and some margin for error over Mejia with a 4 run lead.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Not anywhere near as many times as the hitter can’t get the ball out of the infield. If only they hadn’t used the contact play Adames could have had two men in scoring position when he struck out.
  24. BruisedCrew
    I would add a third guarantee: C. if Monasterio had been held, and Jones struck out, a lot of the same people criticizing the send would be saying “Had to send Monasterio”
  25. BruisedCrew
    After he delivered a hit last night it might have been good to send a lefty up there.
