  1. It always interesting to see how different people can see the exact same words and have a significantly different interpretation of them. When I saw the comment about Megill “earning the opportunity” to remain the closer I didn’t take it as saying Megill should be handed the closer role even after Williams was ready to go. My general reaction was to not worry about what might happen several weeks in the future unless and until a decision has to be made. As it turns out there never was a decision to be made because of Megill landing on the IL.
  2. I was in that camp. I couldn’t see him coming right off the IL after that type on injury and coming into 9th inning save situations on consecutive days or anything like that. The way it worked out the Brewers didn’t have a 9th inning save situation for the first two weeks he was on the roster because they were either losing or had leads bigger than 3 runs. So, he was able to ease in with 3 spread out, lower leverage situations until the 1-0 game last Saturday.. And though he struck out the side in that one, he wasn’t that sharp going to 3 balls on each hitter and having two of them chase fastballs out of the strike zone..
  3. Looks like the Reds and Cards will be tied for second after tonight. Both are 4 games behind the last wild card spot.
  4. Great start. Young Brewers again showing they aren’t ready for,prime time.
  5. Over/Under on HRs allowed by Montas tonight. I say over 2.5.
  6. We were at the game Saturday and I didn’t notice anything different. We have prepaid preferred parking that I bought as part of our 10 pack and someone scanned my parking ticket as we entered just like always, someone further along checked it and waved us into the same lot where we usually park and we were directed to a space.
  7. The Cardinals lost again as the Reds and Cubs close in on second place.
  8. Ha ha Levering. He just said “Everything is falling for the Dodgers this inning.” after Smith’s bloop single. 430 foot fly balls tend to fall in and bullets up the middle have a good shot. Time to find alternative programming.
  9. The Brewers may have had a pitching advantage tonight, but it is nothing compared to the Dodgers massive hitting advantage.
  10. Again the Brewers need a HR to score after squandering a chance with RISP.
  11. Murphy said Peralta pitched well last night but just gave up HR to two of the best hitters in the game. He will also be pleased with Rea.
  12. Frelick just needs a ground ball to the right side or up the middle with the infield back, and he bloops out.
  13. Just keep talking about how much Smith is struggling. 😡
  14. Whenever I hear an announcer say “He’s a hitter, he’s hit everywhere he’s played” (as they just did about Black) a picture of Keston Hiura jumps into my head.
  15. Not for,people who have been paying attention to what they’ve been doing the last couple of months. They were in the WS last year so if they keep playing well they will be recognized as a contender again this year.
  16. Is it just me or have the Brewers been scoring a lot higher percentage of their runs the last couple of months on HRs than they did earlier in this season? I first had this thought back during the grand slam barrage in late June, and it seemed to continue through the scoring struggles in July and even during last week’s brief explosion. In the last 3 games all but 1 of their 6 runs were driven in by a HR. The Brewers are just 19th in MLB in number of HRs despite being 7th in RPG. They have fewer HRs than any of the 14 teams that are above league average in RPG. So, needing HR to score is not their best bet. But, with several players still slumping, it has been hard for them to string hits together.
  17. Pretty ambitious to think he’ll come up with 5 runners on base considering how few baserunners the Brewers have had the last 3 days.
  18. Time for Frelick to swing for the fences.
  19. What happens in the regular season is one thing, but it’s really hard to imagine the Brewers competing with a team like this in a playoff series with the string of elite hitters they have at the top of the order.
  20. Baserunning blunder. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Did Contreras think there were two outs?
  21. The Brewers have been shut down by some bum lefties who don’t have Hall of Fame level experience (even if he no longer has great stuff).. It would hardly be a shock if Kershaw could shut down the Brewers for 5 or 6 innings today
  22. If the Brewers want to be successful against teams like the Dodgers,, especially in a playoff setting, they’re going to have to show more maturity than they did yesterday. Things like slamming your bat after striking out, leading to a second out on an interference call, and essentially forcing the umpire to eject you from the game, can affect outcomes.
  23. No more hyperbolic than your remark to the OP about the Brewers winning one or two World Series if he were mangaer. You also referred to “countless” (more hyperbole) posts “bashing”:the Brewers. I would challenge you to come up with more than one or two that were truly “bashing” the team as opposed to criticizing some specific thing.
  24. So now, is any type of critique, concern or criticism, or anything short of pure unbridled optimism and homerism considered “bashing” the team?
