    Not so fast The other side has a lot of potent bats.
  2. BruisedCrew
    Hard to remember the last time the Brewers strung together hits like that.
  3. BruisedCrew
    Now THATS a robbery. Not like the ones where the fielder is parked at the wall and times his leap

    Hunter Goodman slam puts Rockies up 9-5 over Cubs in 8th.

    The DBacks have been kind of slithering under the radar this season because they got off to a terrible start and have been in the Dodgers shadow all season. At the end of May they were 25-32, 10 games behind the Dodgers and 9 games worse than the Brewers. Since then they are 57-32, 3 games better than anyone else in MLB. They have scored 543 runs in those games, an average of 6.1 runs per game, more than enough to offset giving up 4.8 runs per game. By comparison, since May 31 the Brewers have gone 50-39, averaging 4.5 RPG while allowing 3.8. So, on paper anyway, the challenge for the Brewers against this team will be to contain the high powered offense while finding a way to score some runs themselves, something that hasn’t been coming easy.

    I don’t see it as “dooming”because the scenario includes clinching the division title with at least a week to play. And winning 90 games is not exactly a significant goal in and of itself. I am not ignoring the Brewers offense. They haven’t been remotely as potent as the DBacks for several months. You seem to be ignoring that my comment included a reference to the offense not picking up.

    Considering the total circumstances, including the remaining schedule and the Brewers current offensive struggles, a 6-11 (now 5-11) finish is not that far fetched. The Brewers next 10 games are against two teams with potent offenses that are still playing to cement their playoff positions. If the hitting doesn't pick up it isn't hard to see the Brewers going 3-7 in those games. But, it's also possible that that could be good enough to clinch the division. If the Brewers do clinch the division during the upcoming homestand, who knows what their strategy and motivation would be the final week. Just look at what the Brewers did in 2021. With 18 games remaining they had a record of 89-55 and had a 14 game lead in the division. They went 6-12 the rest of the way, and lost 5 of 6 after clinching the division title.

    Doesn’t that make him one of the team’s hottest hitters?
  9. BruisedCrew
    Montas looks horrible. He’s going to get shelled soon.
  10. BruisedCrew
    What’s Plan B?
  11. BruisedCrew
    This is the start of a very difficult stretch of 13 games. The Giants park is not a good spot for a team that depends heavily on HRs to score runs as the Brewers have in recent weeks. Then 10 games against playoff teams still playing for position. I want the Brewers to have the division clinched before our next game on Sunday the 22nd..

    I think there’s a good chance the Braves would be favored over the Brewers now that some of their injured players are back. I think the Braves superior veteran talent would be the biggest factor.
  13. BruisedCrew
    That doesn’t necessarily follow mathematically. The Brewers have a virtually 100% chance of reaching the playoffs. The Braves and Mets have the additional hurdle of reaching the playoffs which lowers their chances of reaching or winning the World Series. My question is who do we think,would be favored in a series between the Brewers and Mets or Brewers and Braves.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Do you think the Brewers would be betting favorites against any of the likely wild card teams, even with the home field?
  15. BruisedCrew
    Let me be perfectly clear. Just because I am not excited about the playoffs at this point does not mean that I think it would be better if they weren't in the playoffs or that I do not enjoy seasons in which they make the playoffs. But, compared to seasons like 1981, 1982, 2011, 2018, 2019, and 2021, when I thought the Brewers had a real chance to make a deep run in the playoffs, I am not seeing that chance this year. My outlook would change if the Brewers could win the first series instead of bowing out meekly like they have in their last few playoff appearances. Apparently some people think the two are incompatible, but I absolutely can enjoy a ride without expressing some less than rosy expectations for how that ride will end up. BTW, I intentionally left out 2008 above because, while I was very excited about the Brewers making the playoffs for the first time in 26 years, it was apparent the way the Brewers slogged through September that they weren't going far in the playoffs. They were struggling to score runs, were playing so tight that Yost was fired, and squeezed every last ounce of juice out of Sabbathia just to nose into the wild card spot, taking advantage of the Mets collapse in the last week. It was great to be able to accompany my daughters to see their first playoff game (which the Brewers won) but having to use Jeff Suppan in an elimination game against the Phillies pretty much highlights how bad the Brewers situation was after Sheets was injured.

    I definitely wouldn’t call it a failure. But I am probably less excited about the Brewers being in the playoffs than I have ever been, not counting 2020, which wasn’t a real season and the Brewers were a pretty bad team.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I remember hearing the same things in 2021 as the Brewers staggered to the finish, losing 12 of their last 18 games. That slump continued right into the playoff series against the Braves. The difficult schedule the next two weeks will be an interesting test.
  18. BruisedCrew
    After sitting through today's snoozefest, I think I should be excused for not having confidence that this Brewers team can score enough runs to win a playoff series. The Brewers now have the distinction of being only the third team this season to lose a home series to the Rockies. I'll bet the other two haven't gone 0-4 in series against the Marlins and Nationals too. This team sure does have a knack for coming up with stinkers against terrible teams. It's surprising they managed to sweep 3 hard fought games against the White Sox

    From the trailer, it looks like the documentary is as much about the impact.the team had on the community as it is about the team itself.
  20. BruisedCrew
    I guess it depends on what you expected from the Packers in the first place. For anyone who expected the Packers to go 13-4 there’s probably a lot of #1. But I think #2 is clearly true..Having to go to a backup QB with NfL experience who has been with the team through camp is one thing, But the Packers don’t have that. They have someone who came in late and has to develop chemistry with the team on the fly.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Huge difference between a losing a QB on a team with no credible backup and losing a running back.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Obviously, an MCL sprain is a lot better than an ACL tear, but it’s still probably enough to torpedo this season. The situation would not look quite as dire if the Packers had a real back up quarterback that had worked with them through training camp instead of someone they picked up off the scrap heap just before the season started.
  23. BruisedCrew
    I think no news is no news.
  24. BruisedCrew
    It was a frustrating game with the penalties, red zone failures, and too porous defense. But I also recognize it as a first game on a field that had a significant impact on both teams. So, for me it all comes down to Love’s status. If he has to miss any significant time the Packers aren’t making the playoffs. Period. No medical experience but a lot of time observing sports injuries. The fact that Love was walking after the game gives me no comfort. I’ve seen many players with torn ACL’s walk off the field (Jordy Nelson) or even continue playing (remember Gallardo in 2008?). So, I can’t rule that out, and almost expect it. Best case is probably a ligament strain that keeps him out a few weeks. If it’s no worse than that the season could be saved. If they have to play 4 games without Love they’ll be lucky to win one.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Might not be much more to talk about with the Packers anyway if Love tore his ACL.
