    Ashby with inherited runners. 🙄

    I tuned in a little late today and am just now realizing that I am instead watching a replay of Monday’s game. Spoiler alert. The Brewers lose 3 to 2.
  3. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers have their daily quota of 2 runs. If Murphy and the pitchers can’t find a way to win with that it’s on them.

    September 1983 was rough. The difference that year was that the Brewers had drifted around for much of the season and only nosed into first place for a few days in mid August. They never led by more than about a game before falling back dramatically. I think of 2014 because the Brewers were in first place for most of the season, at times by as much as 7 or 8 games. They were still in good shape before the west coast trip sent them on a death spiral. I dont want to see that repeated. No time like today to get back on the winning track.

    I’m having flashbacks to the disastrous West Coast road trip late in 2014 that dropped the Brewers out of first place in the division for good.

    I think you have to recognize the possibility that there are trolls who post outlandish things to get a rise out of the posters who come in to make fun of outlandish statements or anyone else who might be inclined to respond.

    When a team is perennially bad the fans don’t care and when they don’t care, they don’t complain much.

    On another subject, the Cubs figure to be padding their run totals against the Nats pitching. Maybe the Nats can pull out a 9-8 win. I wish Wood was available. His IL stint is hurting my fantasy team too.
  9. BruisedCrew
    Who do you recommend?

    When you have a team loaded with slumping hitters there is no ideal lead off man. I think his recent performances should put an end, at least temporarily, to calls for Lara to lead off.

    If you scroll past the extremely emotional, ignorant, and irrational posts that appear every game, and the no more useful posts from those who feel compelled to comment about those irrational posts every day, you might detect that some posters who insisted that the numbers proved that the Brewers offense was one of the best in MLB might be starting to recognize that that might not be the case. 35 runs in 10 games in August does not inspire confidence that the mediocre offense from the previous 6 weeks is ready to break out. The Brewers have been able to keep winning at a good pace, and have only given up 3 games from the high point of their division lead. But there is some question that that lead might be in jeopardy as the Brewers continue the necessary load management for their exteremely young starting rotation. Maybe some off days and the extra pitcher that can be added in September will help. But more runs would definitely take some of the burden off the pitchers.

    I came back to this thread because I was thinking about adding something to it, so I'm seeing this comment for the first time. I couldn't disagree more strongly (almost to the point of saying "you must be kidding" ) that OSU could beat the Browns in "many years". I think you are dramatically underestimating how much an NFL player with several more years of maturity and physical development would overpower a college team, even one of the stronger ones.

    I have Tatis on a fantasy team and I am aware of how his production has come around over the last several weeks. My comment was made in jest because I have gotten some flak (and accused of cherry picking) for observing that the Brewers have been scoring significantly below their full season RPG over the last several weeks. It seems to me that comments about players and teams that start “Since (a certain date)..” or “in their last X games…” are made all the time to emphasize more recent performance. I never consider that to be “cherry picking” or controversial. Anyone hearing the comments should be able to decide for themselves how relevant they are.
  14. BruisedCrew
    I could use a clarification on what use of stats for a period other than the full season is considered "cherry picking", and what is considered relevant and useful for purposes of highlighting more recent production.

    The downside to the trailing runner charging to the plate is that if he is noticed he could be tagged out, and then if the original safe call on the leading runner is reversed you would have completely run yourself out of the inning. I wouldn’t be telling my runners that if they anticipate a close play at the plate with less than two outs in a game ending situation they should keep running just in case. The catcher who just made the first tag is right there to tag that runner too.

    This is inevitable in all sports. It also happens outside of sports with respect to statutes passed by a legislature, regulations adopted by regulatory agencies charged with enforcing the statutes, and interpretations issued by those agencies to address specific situations. Eventually a court might have to resolve a dispute over a specific situation. Anyone who has played golf at any competitive level would be familiar with this. The Rules of Golf are pretty specific, but there is also a much larger “Decisions on the Rules of Golf” that addresses specific situations that have come up. The hypothetical situation we’re talking about here is one of those unusual situations that is only going to be dealt with when it comes up. A perfect example of this is the “backward steal” situation that came up in a Brewers game a few years ago. Common sense should have told the umpires that a runner who starts a play on second base shouldn’t be able to retreat to first on a rundown on a subsequent play. But it took a ruling from the league office a few days later to clarify that that shouldn’t have been allowed.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I don’t think you’re going to find anything specifically addressing something that bizarre. A theoretically possible (though extremely unlikely) scenario could involve something like.a long fly ball on which the runner on second stays close to the base to tag up, but the runner on first goes most of the way to second. When the ball isn’t caught, both runners take off and the trailing runner is right behind the lead runner. They both round third and head home. The throw comes in and the catcher swipes to tag the lead runner. While he’s doing that the trail runner continues to the plate and isn’t tagged. The lead runner is called safe so the umpire doesn’t make a call on the trailing runner. If the defensive team challenges and the lead runner is called out, I would think the trailing runner would still score. I don’t think the game “automatically pauses” with the first call. The general principle that the runners are placed where they would have been if the correct call had been made should apply. If you ever see a play like that in a game ending situation, let me know how it came out,

    Salvador Perez had some pretty good hitting years after turning 30, even while he was still catching half or more of the Royals games.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Big win. A loss would have made for a pretty disappointing weekend when you add in the new injuries and emptying the bullpen to pull this one out.
  20. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers used up their bullpen bullets and the offense couldn’t deliver. Its going to be tough now.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Maybe if it had been 3-2. Jeffers is a dangerous hitter so you might regret giving him another swing even if you win the challenge.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Didn’t take long for the SS injuries to bite. This situation illustrates one reason why you can’t take anything for granted with 40 or 50 games left in the season. You never know when injuries are going to affect a team in a significant way.
  23. BruisedCrew
    I’ve been out of touch for much of the day until now and I’m just seeing this news. So, suddenly the infield defense that is supposed to be a strength has become a question mark, especially if Ortiz is going to be unavailable for an extended period.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Maybe the Astros will trade him to the Brewers again. 😊
  25. BruisedCrew
    I had already edited my post to include the top 2 seeds. But you can’t get one of those without winning the division.
