For the second night in a row the Mets starting pitcher left with an injury. Carrasco last night (put on IL with oblique strain, expected out 3-4 weeks) and Walker tonight.
-
Quintana gave up his first hit on comebacker that bounced off him. Then he gave up 3 more singles and 2 runs before leaving.
-
That was a bolt out of the blue.
-
Gallo is off to a good start with the Dodgers. That’s his 3rd HR in 9 games.
-
Quintana is continuing the near perfect pitching from the Cardinals deadline pickups. No hits through 5 innings against the Rockies as the Cards lead 1-0.
-
There’s a start.

I’ve covered this in the thread about the offense. The gap between the Brewers RPG against the five most generous teams in the NL (Pirates, Reds, Cubs, Nats, and Rockies) and their RPG against everyone else is significantly larger than the gap for other NL playoff contenders. The Brewers overall offensive numbers are skewed by the games against those 5 teams, and their numbers against those 5 teams are padded by some of those exceptionally high scoring games, most of which came early in the year.

DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE 2022 SEASON!!!
BruisedCrew replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I really don’t know why anyone cares if some fans or posters express their frustration by declaring the season over or saying that they are done with this team. Don’t you notice that those posters are back day after day, so they obviously haven’t really given up? I think the vast majority of the frustration comes from having elevated expectations after last season that the Brewers could take advantage of a weak division to open up a division lead and maybe contend for one of the playoff spots that bypasses the wild card round. Watching the last 3 months of mediocre play that has forced a lowering of hopes and expectations that is understandably disappointing. What the team needs now to rekindle spirits is a stretch of winning some series In succession that isn’t followed quickly by giving back all of the ground gained. The three series after the break sparked some enthusiasm but that was quickly extinguished by the deadline moves (and non moves) and the dreadful series against the Pirates and Reds. The next 10 days are more of a survival mode to try to stay within touch of the Cards, Phillies, and Padres. The last 4 days of impotent offense have done nothing to help. Maybe tonight will be the start of something. -
DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE 2022 SEASON!!!
BruisedCrew replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We really don’t need political comments here, but I don’t consider 71% to be a near lock. As of today, Fangraphs has the Brewers playoff chances at 54% and 538 has them at 53%. Is the cited Vegas bet for the Brewers winning the division, which would make more sense? -
I don’t think that’s true, but when they don’t put up a total of 10 runs in 5 games (not counting runs aided by free runners in extra innings) the fans aren’t likely to be happy. These last 4 games are a pretty good preview of what I would expect from the Brewers offense in a playoff series. 5 runs in 4 games, plus 2 in extra innings if the pitching can get a game there. Basically a repeat of last year’s Braves series.
-
Interesting, but I’m sure that if you factored in the number of ABs against RHP vs LHP that spread (while still significant) wouldn’t be quite so dramatic.
-
You can believe that, but I think a deeper dive of how the Brewers runs have been distributed would refute it. It’s not as if they score more when their best pitchers are on the mound shutting down an opponent for 6 innings, allowing the offense to relax knowing they don’t need too many runs.
-
There’s going to be some stiff competition in the NL playoffs. The records of the teams since June 1 presents a pretty telling story. On that date the Brewers at 32-19 were only 2 games behind the Dodgers and Mets for the best record in the NL. The Brewers were 8.5 games ahead of the Braves. Since then the records are: Dodgers 46-18 Braves 47-19 Phillies 42-22 Mets 41-23 Cardinals 35-30 Padres 35-33 Brewers 29-33 I think the fact that the Brewers were in first place in the division for much of this time while they and the Cardinals were treading water distracted some people from realizing how the cream was rising to the top and the Brewers weren’t cream. If Scherzer and deGrom can stay healthy the Mets are going to present a serious challenge to the Dodgers. The Dodgers might have an advantage by playing the survivor of the 3/6 wild card series in the division round.
-
Maybe it’s easier to pitch when you know you don’t have to pitch perfectly and hope for a run to back you up.
-
Of course, the lineup matchup greatly favors the Dodgers over the Brewers in every game, and in most cases that advantage will be much greater than any pitching advantage the Brewers might have. The Dodgers rotation is excellent, but not what it could be with Kershaw and Buehler injured, not to mention Bauer’s long term suspension. That having been said, baseball being what it is, the Brewers have a chance in every game, and a split in the series is far from out of the question and would be a decent outcome. But, it’s going to take more offense than they got against the Cardinals and/or some outstanding pitching. The Dodgers will be throwing a couple of tough lefties, starting with Urias tonight. My hope is that after winning 34 of their last 40 games and out scoring their opponents 242-120 (basically winning by an average of 6-3), but having their 12 game winning streak stopped yesterday, the Dodgers are due for a little dry spell.
-
He has been a closer before. He is not just a LOOGY. Letting him pitch to Goldschmidt, Arenado, and Pujols did not make sense though after he’s already served up a gopher ball.
-
He was warmed up and ready to go and they have an off day tomorrow. Might as well use him.
-
I hope for his sake that Rogers has a thick skin. Brewers fans are not inclined to be booers, but Rogers might be in for the Schoop treatment.
-
Looks like we’ll have to hope for that another day. There goes Rogers streak of 1 scoreless outing in a row.
-
Rasmussen has 8 perfect innings against the Orioles on just 79 pitches.
-
Thank heaven for the free runner in extra innings. In their last 4 games, in 9 innings the Brewers have scored 3, 1, 1, and (so far today) 2 runs. Extra innings have been the savior; have to hope they can get there again today.
-
Even fewer weapons in the lineup than usual today with Davis and Feliciano. I think the magic of the Yelich toe tap has worn off.
-
That’s true for critiquing the whole deal, but my discussions about this have been limited to whether the Brewers of 2022 are better off with Hader or Rogers. The Bush and Rosenthal deals could both have been made without the Hader deal. i still feel pretty strongly that the Brewers did less to help themselves at the deadline than any other NL playoff contender, except for maybe the Dodgers, who are so strong already that they didn’t need to help,themselves.
-
It didn’t take you long to jump off the Hader bandwagon.
-
Big one to pull out with a minimum of offense. Take the sweep off the table.
