  1. Not sure who you put in that category, but given their performances against some of the bad, bad teams last year, maybe that’s a good thing. I specifically remember series against the Rockies and A’s
  2. Nope, but his recent history, including nagging injuries, suggests that he isn’t going to sustain an OPS over 1.100 either. He’s played a lot of games the last two years but his OPS those two years have been .738 and .818 They had Bauers and Dunn hitting in the middle of the order even when Yelich was playing, and to me that’s a sign of a questionable offense.
  3. Despite their stats to date I continue to be bearish on the Brewers offense. Since their hot streak last month they have had an alarming number of low run games (3 runs or less) and that’s not going to cut it with the pitching staff they have. It seems to me that the hot streak was fueled by some unsustainable performances and that is starting to show through.
  4. Should probably just come back to the game after 3:00 and see if the Cubs bullpen is in. Can’t expect anything from the Brewers offense before that.
  5. Brewers have 0 runs on 5 hits this series against the Cubs starters. Need to be better today.
  6. Someone did post that. I think they said that the Cubs opponents had a winning percentage of .450 and the Brewers opponents were at .550. I would caution that this early in the season that difference may not be that significant. A difference of .100 over 30 games is just 3 games. So you’re talking about a record of 16.5-13.5 vs 13.5-16.5. After the teams have played 120 games or more and you are looking at the difficulty of the remaining schedules, a difference like that would be much more significant. A difference of .100 would be a difference of 12 games Plus, some undeniably good teams are off to so so starts. Even though their records are about the same, I would still say that playing the Rangers is tougher than playing the Mets. Judging schedule difficulty based just on opponents won loss records also doesn’t factor in home games vs road games. Before this series the Cubs had played 19 away games (including a road trip to San Diego, Seattle, and Arizona) and 13 home games. They were 10-3 in those games, including 5-1 against the Dodgers and Astros. I think it would be wrong to attribute the Cubs record to an easy schedule. Like the Brewers, they have done well despite some significant adversity.
  7. Winning in the major leagues with minor league pitchers is hard.
  8. Throwing too many strikes isn’t a problem for Myers today. Bauers should be keeping his arm loose.
  9. Brewers 3 Cubs 1 At Wrigley. Game ends on flyout to RF. Brings back a wonderful memory.
  10. Dinking and dunking is the way to do it when the wind is blowing in.
  11. Seems like the Brewers average about 0.2 runs per game playing at Wrigley Field with the wind blowing in. Wesneski is taking on the role usually played by Hendricks.
  12. I saw Peralta listed as the probable starter for Sunday. Are they planning to start Peralta against the Cubs on 4 days rest and then have him drop his appeal, “sit out” 5 games and come back to face the Cardinals next Saturday?
  13. You’re going a long way to apparently try to “refute” a point I haven’t made. Of course the Brewers have been good so far with a record of 19-11. And within that they’ve had some high points and some not so high points. They were great against the Orioles, but not so great against the Yankees. That kind of up and down is inevitable. Only time will tell if the Brewers can continue to be one of the top scoring teams in MLB (I’m guessing they won’t) and if the pounding the Yankees put on the Brewers pitching staff was an aberration or a warning sign of what might be a problem down the road given the fragile state of the starting rotation.
  14. They certainly were good that week when they were scoring almost 10 runs a game.
  15. The powerhouse Yankees lineup that scored 30 runs in 2 games against the Brewers managed 6 total runs while losing 3 of 4 to the Orioles.
  16. The only thing that would make sense here is that the whiter color wasn’t as noticeable under the lights as in the sunlight so the umpires didn’’t react to it at night.
  17. That’s what I thought too but it appears that the latest collective bargaining agreement changed that.
  18. The Rays runner on first on that DP just peeled off instead of trying to block the relay throw
  19. I think they used to take longer but I see now that the process has to be done within 48 hours. So, maybe what they’ll do is get it reduced a day or two and it will net out the same with Peralta starting next Tuesday.
  20. Is it just me or are they missing some cameras on today’s telecast. It seems like there have been a lot of wide range shots, especially on balls hit to the outfield.
  21. They do have an off day tomorrow so the 5 games would take it through next Monday. I would have him make his normal start Monday (or maybe Sunday against the Cubs) then drop the appeal and have him start again 6 days later.
  22. They’re talking about this now and saying Peralta will just miss one start and Levering is saying that for the Brewers that would be a big deal. But all they would have to do is have him start a game, then drop the appeal and have him start 6 games later.
  23. Ramirez of the Mets got 3 games for throwing behind Hoskins, but he’s a RP. I think 5 games is pretty much a minimum for a starter.
