    Sometimes they’ve bounced back after having the wheels come off just before or just after the break, and sometimes they haven’t (2007, 2014, 2017 for example). The early and mid 70’s also had some colossally bad second halfs that revealed the truth about the teams that had flirted near the top of the standings, Most of the posters here are probably not old enough to remember those We’re going to find out if this is actually a good team or if most of the first half was a mirage.

    Actually 2 hits in the last 8 innings but who’s counting .

    The problem seems to be that so many of his fastballs are missing by a foot so the hitters are sitting on off speed pitches.

    I guess you don’t see the difference between being disappointed with a homestand or two week period and being disappointed with the whole season. I have said more than once that for me this season so far has been an unexpected surprise, and I hope it continues this way. Saying you rarely remember anything positive that I posted just shows that you have a very biased and selective memory. I’m not sure what you mean by “going after posters”, unless maybe you are referring to calling into question the relevance of stats that someone uses to make a point. There is a big difference between going after a poster (which is exactly what you are doing here) and challenging a position that a poster is taking or the stats they are using to support that position.

    I’m not miserable at all. I guess some people can’t distinguish between being disappointed when something doesn’t go as well as hoped or expected and being miserable. There are also some that like to get critical and judgmental when someone doesn’t look at things exactly the way that they do.
  6. BruisedCrew
    And I’m sure others will be able to comb through the massive arsenal of advanced statistics to come up with ones that show that there is nothing to be disappointed about, even if the Brewers get swept this weekend.
  7. BruisedCrew
    Anything short of a sweep this weekend is going to mean a disappointing homestand capping off a mediocre at best two weeks.

    I am a big anti bunt guy, I only favor bunting in very limited situations and today wasn’t one of those situations for me. IMHO those stats about bunt success rates are very misleading. It is my understanding that they only count bunt attempts if a bunt is actually put in play or the batter strikes out attempting to bunt. So, Monasterio’s K today would not count as a failed sacrifice attempt. If you factor in ABs wasted by a hitter failing to bunt and falling in a hole, the probability of actually advancing a runner with a sacrifice are lower than that 67%. What I wanted to see in that spot was putting in one of the team’s better hitters (Chourio) and giving him a shot at swinging away. I had very little confidence that Monasterio could either lay down a successful sacrifice or do anything positive swinging away.

    The Cubs are putting another whipping on the Orioles as they move to pin down a sweep of that series.
  10. BruisedCrew
    The ASB is 3 games away. Go for length when one run won’t lose the game.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Got greedy and paid for it Now the good hitters will put it out of reach.
  12. BruisedCrew
    Trying to squeeze another inning out of Civale seems like a mistake.

    It’s hard for fans who have followed the Brewers closely for 20-54 years to ignore the similarities between this season and years like 2014 and several,others in which Brewers teams with low preseason expectations started strong and opened up nice leads in the division but ultimately stumbled and fell out of the playoff picture. Those stumbles often seem to start just before or just after the All Star break. Hopefully this won’t be another one of those years.
  14. BruisedCrew
    The Freddy Peralta inning. 2 strikes, 3 non competitive pitches and then a hit.
  15. BruisedCrew
    Capra just turned a 1 run inning into a potential game changing big inning.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Rea’s command is way off. Got away with a couple of hangers following uncompetitive pitches.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Fleming was only expected to be an “opener”. Between that and the Pirates starting a “Sunday lineup” this is a game the Brewers should win, and might need to win to win the series with Skenes looming on Thursday. But not off to a good start.
  18. BruisedCrew
    There’s no reason to face that question until it arises. Williams still has to face live hitters before going on rehab. Then he’ll have to pitch a few games there before being brought back. And that’s if everything goes well, which is never guaranteed. When he is brought back, it would make sense to have his first appearance or two for the Brewers be in lower leverage situations. After all of that is done, then see where things are. Maybe the best thing will be to not have a designated closer. I certainly wouldn’t assume that Williams will be ready to go on consecutive days or 3 times in 4 or 5 days immediately or that he will be as sharp as he has been in the past.

    Got one of those illogical baseball results.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Do you have Megill pitch the 9th because he hasn’t pitched since Wednesday and has tomorrow off, or do you wait to see if there’s a save situation
  21. BruisedCrew
    Don’t want to see Ohtani come up with 2 or 3 men on base this inning. Let him lead off the 9th.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Michigan has a home and home against Texas coming up. I assume Fox is forking over huge money to get those games on their TV schedule. But with the teams being added to the B10 it’s going to take a great team to navigate the conference schedule and a big OOC game and still qualify for the expanded playoffs. I can see a lot of injuries with young players playing so many games against strong teams.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Hey, isn’t Alabama playing Wisconsin next year? They can be beaten by a Big 10 team The Cardinals have a wraparound game against the Nats tomorrow then come home for 2 against the fading Royals and 3 against the mighty Cubs.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Especially when he’s hitting negative 150.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Now for the elusive shutdown inning.
