    This is no more cherry picking than what is frequently. done on these boards and in baseball analysis everywhere. Over the course of a long season, you will often hear a commentary about a team or player start with “Since date XYZ..” or “In his last X games…” When the point is to illustrate a positive trend, the commentator is going to start from a low point, and when it’s a negative trend they will start from a high point. If you want to reject my comments out of hand because you have a knee jerk reaction to anything I post, I would direct you to Tim Muma’s recent article which breaks down the decline in the Brewers offense in much more detail. He broke down his analysis by starting one day later than I did. I’m not sure why he chose that date, but the trend he is describing is just what I’m talking about. I don’t see you and your friends accusing him of cherry picking. If you need to know what has fundamentally changed about the Brewers offense, and aren’t swayed by huge drops in production from several every day players, maybe you could consider the loss of the team’s most productive veteran hitter indefinitely, if not for the rest of the season.

    This is affected significantly by exactly when you start the clock. When I commented on this in another thread I started after June 2 because that came at the end of the 6-1 homestand against the Cubs and White Sox in which the Brewers scored a ton of runs to rise to 2nd in MLB in runs scored. By starting on May 30 you pick up an additional 4 wins and 32 runs. They may have risen slightly by scoring 14 runs on Sunday and yesterday, but the last time I looked they were 12th in the NL in runs scored since June 2. I guess instead of 2 months I should have said 8 weeks. If you change that start date from May 30 to June 3 I think you’ll find that the Brewers fall a few places.

    Not really. 6 of the 16 hits he’s had since his return have come in the last 4 games. After Friday his slash line was.222/.327/.356. He has few enough ABs that his stats can fluctuate pretty wildly with a couple of good games.

    I’m interested to see how they plan to score enough runs to win games in the postseason with a lineup that has been one of the lowest run producers in the NL over the last two months and might be without its best hitter for the rest of the season.

    Hader gave up a 3 run HR in the 9th and the Pirates are a couple,of outs away from tying the Cardinals for second place.
  6. BruisedCrew
    Still another example of why I didn’t waste much time pondering what the Brewers would do with Williams and Megill when Williams was available.
  7. BruisedCrew
    Why? He’s turned into a decent hitter and was one of the Brewers better playoff hitters. He’s always had the potential and tapped into it as he matured.

    Always excited to see Frelick swinging for the fences.
  9. BruisedCrew
    The heavy use of the bullpen seems to be coming home to roost.

    I would be concerned that a trade of Adames at this stage of the season would produce a collapse similar to the one after the Hader trade. It sends a signal to the players that the front office doesn’t think the team can win and also sheds a player who is probably the team’s biggest mentor and emotional leader.

    The good news is that the Brewers improved their runs per game average for the week.
  12. BruisedCrew
    Another out on the bases.
  13. BruisedCrew
    Really can’t afford that.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Can’t afford that when you have a questionable offense behind you.

    Since June 1, the Brewers are 4th in the division (ahead of only the Cubs) and 12th in the NL in runs scored. It is clearly the run prevention unit (2nd best in the NL) that is keeping them on target. With Yelich now out indefinitely, the pressure on run prevention is likely to ramp up. Going 3-1 on the road trip in games in which the offense produced 1, 1, 1, and 3 runs in 9 innings highlights that.
  16. BruisedCrew
    That’s pretty common for home teams because there is no longer a chance for a save situation.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I thought they needed a decent LH bat with some power before Yelich got hurt unless Mitchell showed he could provide that. Now that Yelich is out it becomes more important.
  18. BruisedCrew
    Even when the Brewers have scored today they leave you with a bad taste. In both cases they still had the bases loaded and one out and couldn’t add more.
  19. BruisedCrew
    I really don’t count force outs at home the same as other runners thrown out at the plate.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Where are you getting that from? I wasn’t suggesting anything close to that. Today the opener gave up a run on 2 hits in the first inning and put 2 men on to start the second and forced Wilson to inherit a tough situation. Even you said at about the same time I posted that it was probably a mistake trying to squeeze another inning out of the opener.
  21. BruisedCrew
    When you’re scoring one run a game you can’t afford to be giving one right back. But my post came after the opener put 2 men on to start the second They got away with trying to squeeze another few hitters out of the “starter” after he threw so many pitches in the first. Wilson got out of it, but I don’t think it’s ideal to have the guy you’re counting on to throw 4-6 innings have to come right in to a high leverage situation. I’m not a fan of the opener strategy in the first place, and in my book today was a fail.
  22. BruisedCrew
    The opener strategy is a big fail today.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Big opportunity missed, but I suppose we should be ecstatic about scoring one run against a Cubs starter.
  24. BruisedCrew
    What was Steele thinking? He had all day to pick that ball up and still get Hoskins.
  25. BruisedCrew
    2 wins on this trip when scoring one run in 9 innings. Good to clinch the season series tonight with a bad pitching matchup and a stressed bullpen tomorrow.
