  1. Cubs have nothing to do with the Brewers at this point. If the Brewers don’t straighten out they will be fighting with everyone else in the division too.
  2. I was irritated in the off-season that the Brewers traded their best SP and did nothing to improve the offense. While other teams that think they are contenders make moves to improve themselves in the off-season, the Brewers make themselves worse while accumulating a strong minor league system. Maybe at some point they need to trade some of these great prospects to get some proven major league hitting. We hear about the great depth of pitching in the organization but most of them seem to be bottom of the rotation starters at best when they aren’t injured.And they are often injured. If the poster who responded to my post the other day with the comment that Chourio and Vaughn are not that much better than the players currently playing is correct, this is going to be a long season.
  3. How do you feel about the Brewers facing Griffin the way he’s been throwing and the Brewers have been hitting?
  4. So, it appears that the bullpen, and offense are both weaknesses right now.
  5. Two lousy hits since the first inning. With the bottom of the order coming up in the ninth, the bullpen is going to have to hold them for two innings and hope to pull one out with the free runner in the 10th
  6. The bottom of this order is really a black hole. It will be nice when Chourio is getting these at bats instead of Perkins.
  7. The TV coverage of that was spectacular. There was nothing like that for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in the 60s and early 70s.
  8. A significant part of my concern is that I don’t think several of the hitters who have carried the team in the first few games (Sanchez, Mitchell, Yelich, Hamilton) can or will continue the pace that they performed at in the first 10 games. The offense has been great in the games the Brewers have won and completely missing in the games they have lost. Going forward I’m concerned that there will be a lot more of those 0-2 run games if they have to keep putting out the lineups they have been using. I’d rather see guys like Mitchell and Bauers batting in the 6-8 spots than in the heart of the order.
  9. I think the biggest weakness is the everyday lineup, especially against left handed pitchers. The issue should be solved if Vaughn and Chourio can come back and no other significant injuries hit. That includes Turang’s ankle problem not turning into a bigger problem.
  10. The B Team lineups and inexperienced pitchers are going to catch up to the Brewers soon.
  11. I hope this team is not in a big hole before the end of May. So far, so good, but the injuries are really piling up for so early in the season.
  12. Anyone who knew that Chourio and Vaughn would be out. The Brewers aren’t a big HR team to start with, but with those two guys out they are laughably weak in RH power hitting. They are going to see as many LHP as teams can throw at them and it could be pretty ugly
  13. I’m withholding judgment until they face major league pitching.
  14. Good. Maybe Quero catching with Contreras as DH tomorrow.
  15. I might have to go back and revisit my preseason prediction. This could be one of those years.
  16. The item just says that Contreras isn’t the corresponding roster move, it doesn’t say he isn’t injured. Is this a Yelich type situation where he’s got an injury issue of some type that may not require a trip to the IL so they are bringing up Quero to catch in the short term? If Contreras isn’t catching or at DH tonight, we’ll know that something is going on. Maybe just some kind of personal situation.
  17. Except for that one incident Our American Cousin was a great play.
  18. Somebody must’ve clued him in because seconds later, he clarified that they can’t see it on their monitors, but the home audience can. That should also cut down on announcers harping on ball and strike calls.
  19. It was wrong on TV if that’s the same thing they show on the scoreboard. It said Brewers challenge call confirmed, but actually it was a Sox challenge call reversed.
  20. It also might reduce some of the constant ******** about ball and strike calls.
  21. What’s the record for most years in a row giving up a home run to the first opponent batter.
  22. Chourio on the IL to start the season, Priester down for a month or two if not the season, and Woodruff always a huge question mark does not sound like the start to a promising season. This looks like the year that the Brewers don't significantly outperform expectations. My guess is 85-77. In the running for a wildcard spot for most of the season but no playoffs.
