Counsell is going all in when we lead more and more by the day. I would have to imagine it is Hader for two and Jeffress for the end.
-
Counsell running to the phone to call in a non scrub pitcher cause we have a lead. What an idiot, seriously.
-
THERE WE GO!!!! My god!!!!!
-
This team needs to find a way to win today. Just a ridiculous game to lose late in the season.
-
Are you serious Anderson. A great AB just wasted. What idiot even takes his bat off his shoulder 3-2 when they are a pitcher. My gosh.
-
If Homer Bailey dominates us I don’t think I will muster the strength to turn on a game for a long time.
-
I still like Anderson long term...but this year seems to be a lost cause.
-
Wow, just wow.
-
Couple things: 1. I too am a bit dissapointed Domingo Santana never made his way back before September....but the OF is loaded and he could only play RF. Completely understandable why. I hope he provides a spark in September. 2. This is a must win even more than every game against the Cubs. Because on paper there is zero excuse to lose this game. These are the games we have to be winning or we will have to win way more against good teams...not a promising feat to conquer.

I could probably find 20 pitchers that haven't "been there" having excellent months down the stretch for contenders. That is why everything is still a big mystery. Terrible players can get hot and carry us...especially starters. Miley has now started 9 games and boosts a 2.18 ERA. WHAT!? We don't need an ace, we just need someone to pitch like one for a few weeks. James Shields could come here, get hot, and be our much needed hero. I wouldn't be too opposed to acquiring Shields and inserting him into Peralta's spot. I don't like Peralta's chances of being a good contributor down the stretch. He has been shaky for awhile and he is officially in unchartered territory with innings pitched in a year.

This isn't the AL - The Cubs are a rough week away from the NL playoff picture being a heap of teams hovering around between 10-15 games over 0.500. If the Brewers close out August strong against the Reds/Pirates/Reds, I still fully expect the 6 remaining games against the Cubs in the 1st 1/2 of September to decide who wins the division. Nobody is running away with playoff spots in the NL this year. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, if you can... As blah as we have been lately I agree the division is still a real possibility. Not only do we play the Cubs many more times they just flat out aren't that good either. We suck so bad yet the Cubs only sit 3.5 ahead...that says something about them too. I certainly think they are a strong favorite, but 3.5 games isn't anything. Our pitching could all get out of their slumps and go on a streak to end it. It happens all the time, baseball is really streaky. I remember that 2011 team being solid, but nothing special till the last two months. Then we turned into a big World Series threat. Not saying it will happen, but this team still has some good baseball left, just a matter of how much for how long. Also incredibly important is how the teams we play are doing. Sometimes the worst teams are hot and the best are cold...luck of timing.

It, so far, has marginally improved at best despite giving up quite a few prospects. Soria has been okay, but has barely played. Moustakas has been nice, but not a massive improvement over Villar. Any gain from there has been quickly wiped away by Schoop playing like crud. I am hopeful that over the long run this season Moustakas gives us a nice boost at 2B and Soria is a solid contributor.
-
If we want to use career numbers Jonathan Villar is at a 93 OPS+ and Jonathan Schoop is at 98 OPS+. Could have just kept the cheaper Villar at that rate.
-
It will be the offseason. It is not Schoop or Pérez as the options. We could go another route. For the record I think he ends up tendered if he can look like an MLB hitter before the season ends.
-
The Cubs hitting has been downright horrendous lately.
-
If we sign a player this winter for $10mil and they give us 1 WAR off the bench are you seriously telling me that player was technically worth it? The minors is littered with 0-2 WAR players. You can pay them a few million tops if you want that. I guess I know why we traded Jonathan Villar now...he is a $20mil+ player per year!! Lorenzo Cain? $60mil a year? I just can’t understand WAR valuations for contracts. Cut your losses if he sucks. Paying him $10mil and wasting a roster spot (and playing time) just makes you look even dumber. If they keep him (not my money) you better find a good back-up plan or we better be getting a good hitting catcher. We can not afford three black holes again.
-
Yikes. I would have had to giggle just a touch if the all mighty Jeffress/Hader were saved to blow a 2-0 lead though.
-
I was going to say the same thing, Bailey is 1-10 too. Not like record really matters, but it makes me feel better regardless He used to be so good and consistent. Since 2014 he has two years where he barely played and then two half years of mid 6.00 ERA baseball. It’s like a 20 year old blind dog that can’t move anymore...just put it down already.
-
My god are we facing some terrible ERA Reds starters this week.
-
Had never actually seen one of those until we were up there a week ago or so. We didn't go in....... You're not missing anything. It looks kinda good on the commercials... I hate the commercial tough...probably because it is Craig narrating.
-
Smartphone is not smart. My apology. That was meant for Plush. ...is it the phone...or the user?
-
I was thinking more of a guy who goes to Brewer games just so he can get drunk and complain about everything.
-
But yah know...Lyles will get multiple innings in a tight game. Then Counsell so focused on saving Hader/Jeffress is going to blow through both of them today even though his starter has mostly cruised through 6 innings. Not even give Chacin one batter...but Lyles has a whole second inning no matter the struggle. My oh my.
-
Cain looks like he collided head on with a dump truck.
