Thank you for the tutorial, but I know it’s baseball and I know that bad teams win games against good teams, I did not say that I demand, or even expect a sweep, just that I will be disappointed if they don’t get it. I’m sorry if that’s considered unreasonable. I am enjoying the last part of the season. It’s fun having games that you can look forward to every day that have a bearing on reaching goals all teams have. There have been many, many years where that wasn’t the case. But, when the team is in prime, position to get a first round bye it would be pretty upsetting to cough it up, and over to the Cubs no less. BTW, your arithmetic is wrong. If the Brewers finish 6-6 the Cubs only have to go 11-1 to win the division. I’m probably more concerned about the Brewers part of that equation. If they don’t win the Angels series they would have to make that up against better teams.

5 game lead with 12 games to go. I’m going to be disappointed if the Brewers don’t sweep this series. This will be the first time since the Pirates provided the last 3 wins to secure the George Webb burgers that the Brewers will be playing a team at home that has no playoff possibilities at all. It’s also the most favorable series they have left. If they don’t at least win the series some alarm bells might be going off.
-
Now 9-2 with one more the final day of the season.
-
Monasterio doesn’t have enough of a track record to tell you what he would be like as a hitter if he played full time.
-
No. I’m telling you that the Bauers and Monasterio situations are not the same. Bauers has been hitting well, so against a RHP he’s a logical choice because he provides as much of a chance as Hoskins or Vaughn to have success at the plate AND he’s better than either of them defensively. With Monasterio over Ortiz you are accepting a clear downgrade defensively in exchange for what you hope might be an upgrade offensively.
-
I would say he’s collecting a lot of money looking forward to the playoffs and planning for free agency. .
-
Bauers is the best defensive 1B on the team. Monasteries is not the best defensive SS
-
Hopefully Monasterio won’t display his defensive weakness like he did in the last game we went to, the only loss we’ve seen this season.
-
Jansen and Monasterio both in the lineup today with Bauers at 1B and Contreras completely off.
-
To be accurate, though, the “Sunday lineups” don’t show up every Sunday and sometimes appear randomly or on weekday afternoons. At a glance it looks the Cards might be going with a Sunday lineup today to face The Nibbler.
-
We’re going tomorrow and I do expect a Sunday lineup. Though maybe with the Monday off day it won’t be too bad.

I know it’s Thomson, but on this ad bloated site the words I type or dictate often don’t come up until a minute or so later so I might not notice typos or auto corrects.. Bobby Thomson went to the same high school as my Dad on Staten Island, though Bobby was a few years younger. My Dad had a contract to start spring training in the Yankees minor league camp in 1942, but he got called into service and by the time he got out it was too late to start a professional baseball career. But he got a job in Milwaukee after getting married and played in the old industrial league. His name is on the Old Time Ballpayers Association Sandlot Hall of Fame that is on display at Am Fam Field. Anyway, there are a lot of other and more recent examples of dramatic late turnarounds, like the Tigers overtaking the Twins in the wild card race last year, the Cardinals, winning like 17 in a row in September of 2021 to come from nowhere to get a playoff spot, and many more. I just focused on the old ones because they planted in my head that it isn’t over until it’s over.
-
Hard to complain about the tie, but feel like they missed a golden opportunity to win it. Now hopefully Uribe isn’t too rusty.
-
Turang’s failure really hurts with a double play king coming up. Now we could use a sac fly..
-
The Cubs had this situation this afternoon and didn’t even get the tie.
-
Middle of the order gets one more chance.
-
Just need to get another man on and can get a sacrifice fly to lose 7 to 5.
-
No shut down inning from Myers.
-
Still no big hits. Letting Bauers hit against a lefty instead of Vaughn against a righty is a head scratcher.
-
The big hits just haven’t been there much lately. Needed the center fielder to throw that sac fly off someone’s head and into the stands like, last night to get more than 1 run.

In my old age I have seen enough teams blow 6 game leads in the last two weeks to not take anything for granted. When I went to college I met Phillies fans who were still traumatized by 1964 (6 years earlier) when the Phillies led by 6 with 12 games to play and lost 10 in a row to be passed by the Cardinals. And when I was first old enough to follow baseball my Dad talked about the 1951 Giants who trailed the Dodgers by 13 games in mid August and were still down by 6 with 10 games to play. But they forced a playoff and won on Bobby Thomason’s famous “shot heard round the world. “ Those early experiences shaped me, and I’ve seen several more like them over the years. Catastrophic collapses and heroic comebacks happen and they have to start somewhere I don’t like seeing them get started .
-
Yep. Even with that they have been gaining on the Brewers. Don’t want to see them get into a long winning streak. Most long winning streaks start with 3 or 4 in a row.

To put it after their college football coverage

The Mets loss to the Rangers officially puts the Brewers in the playoffs
