  1. On the other hand, Wood is sitting out today and now Abrams has been scratched. So, the Nats best two hitters are both on the bench. Golden opportunity for Peralta to dominate.
  2. That lineup is pretty gross. Slumping Turang batting fifth followed by four scrubs.
  3. Looked like our undefeated streak for this season was coming to an end until that improbable ninth inning. Now 7-0 including 2 Durbin walkoffs and 7 Vaughn RBI. I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say that Vaughn has had the biggest hit in 4 of the 5 Brewers wins this week
  4. Nice for him, but I have mixed feelings about someone with that little track record getting in over a more experienced player who has never had the chance. I see it as MLB trying to publicize young players. Similar to Skenes being SP last year after about 10 starts.
  5. Rushing has a lot of gall being upset over that called third strike considering the calls his pitcher has been getting..
  6. With Edmon, Hernandez, and Muncy out injured and Smith having the night off the Dodgers lineup is not as potent as it can be. Have to keep the Hall of Famers at the top of the order (and Pages) from killing you.
  7. Back in March I exchanged the Cubs tickets in our 12 pack for tonight’s game. Now 6-0 for the season after a fun night at the ballpark
  8. Hopefully having Monasterio at SS won’t cost runs in the field. Can’t afford to give extra outs to the league’s most potent offense.
  9. The best thing the Brewers did in their hot streak from mid May through most of June is minimize those games of scoring 0-2 runs. But that offense has disappeared this week, with two games with 2 runs and two with 3. In one of those they scored only 2 runs in 9 innings.
  10. A lineup with Durbin batting 6th doesn’t look very imposing, especially against a quality SP. The offense has been struggling this week and runs may be hard to come by today.
  11. This is turning into a dangerous stretch for the Brewers. Don’t know what to expect from Woodruff tomorrow and then the Dodgers juggernaut comes to town. The offense is showing signs of sputtering.
  12. Some really feeble ABs since the last scoring chance. Not too confident that the Brewers will be scoring again today. At least if the Marlins score here it will save the rest of the bullpen. There might be a lot of them needed tomorrow.
  13. That was actually 1980. Ironically, after great years in 78 and 79, after that great Opening Day! Lezcano had a poor season in 1980 and never again produced the way he did those two years.. But, he was a valuable piece in the trade that landed Simmons, Vuckovich, and Fingers His
  14. Hurts to lose a series to a playoff competitor when it looked like the Brewers were getting them at a good time. Now they have to face two teams that are rolling on hot streaks with an offense that has been anemic in 3 of the last 4 games.
  15. Looking at the radar, I suspect that the start of the game is going to be delayed.
  16. Looks like Chourio could use some time off too. His bat is looking tired; when he makes contact it’s mostly to produce lazy fly balls
  17. Yes. The Mets are in the middle of a slide in which they have lost 13 of 16 and surrendered a 5.5 game division lead to the Phillies, who haven't exactly been tearing things up themselves. I'm sure their fans are very laid back about it. While the Mets did get swept by the Pirates and are now 2-4 against them for the season, they are also 8-1 against the Rockies and White Sox. The real sticking point for me is the historically bad Rockies, who will have a home and home series against every NL team, and 4 series against the 4 playoff contenders in the NL West. Games against the Rockies should be seen as a golden opportunity to stack up wins. The Brewers did not take maximum advantage of that opportunity the way most of the other contenders have and therefore dropped a couple of games in the standings that might have to be made up somewhere else. The record of the 10 NL playoff contenders against the Rockies so far is a combined 43-7. The Dodgers, Cubs, Phillies, Mets, and Reds are a combined 25-0, and the Cardinals haven't faced them yet.
  18. What makes this especially maddening is how the Brewers let the game get away and choked at the plate in the final innings. You can’t assume or even expect that the team will sweep a series against the worst teams in MLB. But the Brewers have now played five series against the worst teams (Rockies, White Sox, and Pirates) and haven’t swept any. Three times the Brewers have won the first two games in a series against these bottom feeders, but have failed to bring the bats to the final game A record of 10-6 against these teams isn’t horrible, but it will likely be worse than what the top playoff contenders will do.
