    Not looking like the start of a Brewers sweep.
  2. BruisedCrew
    It seems like they are trying to give him a chance to show that he can be a significant contributor, but he really hasn’t done that yet.

    It’s not a hallucination. Since the ASB the Nats are 29-28, which is better than all of the 4 teams fighting for the last wild card spot. But, after winning 25 of their first 40 games after the break (very competent) they have now lost 13 of 17. Without being greedy, looking at the state of the teams and the pitching matchups, this looks like a golden opportunity for a sweep. Anything less than 2 of 3 would be a major disappointment. It would be helpful to get Yelich and Canha back and producing ASAP. I was at yesterday’s game and that lineup (missing what should be their 1, 3, and 4 hitters) was not too encouraging. Yelich, Santana, and Canha replacing Wiemer, Tellez, and Turang (at least against LHP) would look a lot better. I would be looking for a way to keep Taylor in the lineup in the short term. Has anyone had more big hits than he has this month?

    OK, make it 3 out of 4 and one game where the SP started handing out walks like Trick or Treat candy.
  5. BruisedCrew
    I wonder if they will just use 5 starters over the next 10 games before the off day or if they will still go with 6. If they go with 5 and then use the off day they would have some options of how to handle the last 6 games depending on how the standings look.

    When you look at the games the Brewers have lost since they left LA, they have been in all of them. They are 16-7 in that stretch and the scores of the games they’ve lost have been 1-0, 3-2, 4-2, 4-2, 5-4, 4-3, and 2-0. So, in those 7 games they have given up only 23 runs, but have scored only 13, an average of just under 2 a game. And the 3 runs in extra innings on Sunday with the free runner come with an asterisk, especially because they failed to score in two innings even with the runner in second to start. In the 16 wins they have scored 117 runs or 7.3 per game. Until Tuesday’s 3-1 game they had not scored fewer than 5 runs in any win. Because of this pattern, whenever I sit down to watch a Brewer game these days (as I will be at the stadium this afternoon) my first question is “will the Brewers score more than a run or two today” It’s also why some Brewers fans get a little antsy when they show signs of a hitting slump like they have in their last 3 games against major league caliber SP.

    I’ll probably be accused of being a Cardinal lover or something else, but the Cardinals have been looking better recently, winning 7 of their last 10 including series wins over the Braves, Reds, and Orioles, all on the road. Can’t take anything for granted.

    While the end was glorious, it was one of the most stressful games ever watched. I don’t want to think about what would have happened if Ben Oglivie hasn’t come up with that sliding catch to protect the 5-2 lead in the last of the 8th. The 5 runs the Brewers added in the top of the ninth were truly glorious.

    As was covered in yesterday’s game thread, though a 4 game lead with 17 games left is a nice spot to be in, that lead can be more perilous because of the final 3 game series against the Cubs. From the Cubs’ perspective all they have to do is gain one game in the next two weeks and they will then control their own destiny in the final series. Brewers fans who were around in 1982 know how stressful those final weekends can be when a 4 game lead with 5 games to play turns into a winner take all struggle on the last day.

    I did not go back and look at the game by game results, so wasn’t referring specifically to September 13. One big difference between this year and 2018 was that the Brewers were done playing the Cubs by mid September so they needed more help to make up ground. I did go back and look at the results now, and am reminded that the Brewers followed up their final series against the Cubs by losing 3 of 5 to fall 3.5 games back with just 10 games to play and no head to head games to help. I know that at that time the focus was much more on the wild card spots.
  11. BruisedCrew
    It’s hard to say what Mitchell would be like after almost 5 months of inactivity.
  12. BruisedCrew
    Maybe at this precise time, but I remember them being a little farther back at other times in the month and the focus was much more on getting a wild card spot than winning the division. Especially once the Brewers had no games left against the Cubs.
  13. BruisedCrew
    But he won’t be solving any problems coming in that late.
  14. BruisedCrew
    The Cubs loss today makes me feel better about the Brewers having to play the next two days with the bottom of their pitching staff and a little shorthanded in the lineup. A golden opportunity to open up a real cushion.
  15. BruisedCrew
    Exactly how Brewers fans felt around this time in 2018.
  16. BruisedCrew
    He would not be back until the last week at the earliest.
  17. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers have plenty of ticket discounts if you check them out.
  18. BruisedCrew
    The Phillies are in a much bigger market and are playing a much more attractive opponent that will bring in some fans of their own and some Phillies fans who want to see the best team in MLB. Milwaukee has always been a tough place for attendance on September weekdays.
  19. BruisedCrew
    It was great that the Rockies beat the Cubs last night. I have a feeling that will be their only win of the series. Any games they win in Wrigley Field next week should be considered a bonus.
  20. BruisedCrew
    I assume you mean Rea, but I think you’re on the right track. My read on it is that Rea doesn’t go more than 5 innings anyway, so have Megill face the top of the order and to treat it like a late game situation and possibly pitch into the second. Then have Rea ready and hope he can get to the seventh.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Yes. With their pitching they probably need 10 to outscore the Cubs.
  22. BruisedCrew
    I suspect Rea will be in early enough tomorrow Houser is going on Thursday.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Donaldson can still hit them a long way when he connects.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Your job is to interview people off camera and then tell the audience what they said. I’m not sure how else you do that. I can honestly say I never thought anything about it until people here brought it up, and it still doesn’t bother me.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Oh,oh. What’s wrong with Canha?
