    It happens occasionally these days when teams play one of their two game “rivalry series” over a weekend. This weekend it was Cubs-White Sox and Cardinals-Royals. The Brewers had the Friday after the All-Star game off when almost everybody else was playing because of their two game series against the Twins
  2. BruisedCrew
    Not entirely true. I don’t follow them that closely but I know Turner was out for about 6 weeks, including when the Brewers played them.

    The Phillies troubles seemed to start when Harper, Schwarber, and Realmuto all went on the IL. Those guys are back but the team hasn’t found its form from the first 2-3 months.

    There’s nothing like my daughters and me attending a game on our 10 pack to silence the Brewers offense. We got that out of the way last night so the Brewers should be good to go today.
  5. BruisedCrew
    That’s probably who you’re thinking of.

    Dansby Swanson’s wife scored the winning (and only) goal in the Olympic gold medal soccer game.

    Twins complete the doubleheader sweep to cut the Guardians lead to 1.5 games.
  8. BruisedCrew
    He was responding to my very simple observation that the Guardians were sailing along but suddenly lost 6 in a row and saw their 6 game lead drop to 2.5 in less than a week. And that wasn’t because the teams behind them did anything unusual or special.

    We’re seeing the latest example of how quickly the complexion of a division race can change. Last Friday the Guardians beat the Orioles for the second night in a row to boost their record to 67-42. They have led the AL Central since mid April, and have led by as many as 9 games. After that win last Friday they led the Royals by 6 games and the Twins by 6.5. Their announcers were trumpeting the fact that the Guardians had not lost more than 3 games in a row all season. This afternoon, the Guardians lost the first game of a doubleheader to the Twins to kick off a four game weekend series. It was the Guardians sixth loss in a row and cut their division lead to 2.5 games over the Twins and 3.5 over the Royals. That is suddenly a tight 3 team race that could get tighter based on the weekend games.

    j I think everyone understands the basic arithmetic and probability. But we have also seen enough of those outliers, involving the Brewers and others, to recognize that what seems nearly impossible or highly improbable does happen in baseball. Things like the 2014 Brewers going 71-55, and then 11-25 the rest of the way to go from leading the division by 3 games to finishing 8 games behind the Cardinals. Or the 2021 Cardinals, who were 69-68 finishing 21-4 to come from nowhere to claim a wild card spot. So, I don’t think it’s so much negativity and pessimism as it is caution and not taking anything for granted. Note my signature.

    True it is very unlikely, but teams ahead of you is much less of a problem when those teams are closer to you than they are to the team on top. If any of those 4 teams suddenly wins something like 12 out of 15, the teams that are 2 or 3 games ahead of them now probably wont be a problem.
  12. BruisedCrew
    They have gotten plenty out of this series regardless of what the Cardinals do. When you’re ahead just getting days off the calendar without losing ground is a plus. They’ve also hopefully regained some confidence in the offense that has been struggling for the last two months. I would hesitate to call a team “virtually eliminated” this early. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the mosh pit of mediocrity that is currently in 2nd through 5th place if the Brewers open the door for anyone to move up.
  13. BruisedCrew
    By the definitions set by some on this board that would be considered cherry picking to support a narrative. I happen to think that pointing out what has happened in the most recent set of games covering a period that long is relevant information.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Not all in the same series, but it is reminiscent of the 6 game string of 58 runs they had in April .
  15. BruisedCrew
    Addition does not seem to be one of Levering’s strengths. He just said the Brewers have scored 40 runs in 2 1/2 games against the Braves in this series.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Holy Moley the ball is jumping today. That’s a big park too.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Crossing my fingers that the offense is going to go into a stretch of minimizing those games of 2 runs or less. Adames error is going to guarantee a short start for Montas. Didn’t need to throw 10 more high stress pitches on a hot day.
  18. BruisedCrew
    I think I prefer fingernails on a chalkboard to Levering’s “sweeeeng and a miss”.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Nice to score some runs and pick up a comfortable win last night. Now need to turn it into a much needed series win. Those have been hard to come by lately.
  20. BruisedCrew
    I can’t believe Jessie Chavez is still pitching in the major leagues. I remember him giving up the walkoff grand slam to Braun in the last week of the 2008 season when he was pitching for the Pirates.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Like the one against the Nats we were at a few weeks ago. 5 runs in the first and a 6-5 loss.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Only took 7 batters tonight to produce a cycle.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Not sure why so many posters here feel obligated to personally attack other posters. I guess it makes them feel superior, though really it says more about them than the person they’re attacking
  24. BruisedCrew
    Of course, the reason for that is completely explained by the bottom. The bottom team in the Central is the Reds with a record of 53-58 with a run differential of +28. The anchors in the other divisions are the Marlins (42-70, -140), Rockies (41-71, -172), and Nats (51-61, -56). Unless something changes no Central team will get one of the 3 wild card spots for the second year in a row
  25. BruisedCrew
    The Brewers are on the verge of going 0 for 4 for the season in series against the Nats and Marlins, with 3 of those series coming in the last 3 weeks. Just have to keep hoping that nobody else in the division starts playing better than .500 ball.
