    Why would anyone have that much confidence in the Cardinals? All four teams you mentioned have been better teams all year.

    You don't. I never will and have passed that on to my kids and they live and die with it too, but only until the game is over. Then they, and I, move on to the other things in my life that I enjoy and have far more control over. Sports are fun but the moment it affects my quality of life to ANY degree, I'll walk away and do something else. Life is too short to get that wrapped up in something I have no control of.

    I'm not saying Counsell has a great roster or anything but there definitely seems to be a lethargic passiveness about this team. We play these "bad teams" and they play with for more energy and "want to" than the Brewers do. Maybe just more of a "time for a shakeup" thing than anything directly related to Counsell. I do not think he is the problem, at least not a major problem.

    I am at the point where I think Counsell needs to go.
  5. 82brewcrew82
    LOL

    Or anyone else for that matter. There isn't a single player on this roster that I look at and go, "yeah, that guy needs an extension". It is a team full or marginal talent so we get marginal results.

    Looks at three strikes and then has a tantrum
  8. 82brewcrew82
    I'm gonna guess they've struck out far more than 18 times against lefty pitching.
  9. 82brewcrew82
    Any maybe not swinging at pitches clearly our of the zone.
  10. 82brewcrew82
    I'm going to say that at least taking a hack at called third strikes would be part of that equation.
  11. 82brewcrew82
    That seems aggressive.

    Noted

    Ah, I have that poster on my ignore list.

    Is there actually someone that is saying a sub .500 team will win the division?
  15. 82brewcrew82
    The Cardinals are currently 9 games under .500 and in last place by 2.5 games in the NL central which Features the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates. Their current hot stretch has them with the worst record in the NL and the fourth worst record in all of baseball. Despite that current hot stretch (7-3 in their last 10) the have managed to gain one whole game on the Brewers over that period (6-4 in their last 10) leaving the Cardinals 7.5 games back Posted the above on May 16th. Not much has changed since then despite the "here come the Cardinals" pearl clutching. The Cardinals were then, and remain, one of the wost teams in the game.

    I think they said it was just for a couple of weeks. Either way it was stupid and didn't help the pitching staff.
  17. 82brewcrew82
    The bigger issue is that this stuff is tolerated. Almost every time reliever comes into games refusing to throw strikes. Half the lineup has zero plan when they walk to the plate, swinging at everything and anything. Hitters aren't running things out, The team is defensively loose in the infield. This team needs a shake up and I hate to say it but maybe CC is that shake up
  18. 82brewcrew82
    Petty good news all around. I imagine Perkins goes for Taylor. The Houser decision clearly depends on what Rea does today.
  19. 82brewcrew82
    Not real encouraged by the early numbers for the minor league guys. Some good stuff to be sure but overall, not good.
  20. 82brewcrew82
    The better question is whether the projections are actually accurate in predicting anything at all.
  21. 82brewcrew82
    I am absolutely fascinated by the subset of Brewers fandom that will actively twist themselves into knots trying to explain why other teams warts are not actually warts and that anything the Brewers experience is disastrous and/or can't possibly be sustained. Not one of them would have looked at a rotation fronted by a guy whose pitched 150 innings over the last three years and a journeymen whose ERA+ is within 10 points of Eric Lauer's as a solid top of the rotation if it were a Brewer opening day rotation.
  22. 82brewcrew82
    But they don't play the same position at the same time. And that still does not give the individual player any control over how many balls are hit to them.
  23. 82brewcrew82
    I agree here, how does the player have any control at all over the volume of opportunities they get.
  24. 82brewcrew82
    Well, this started with a reference to the Twins trading for Urshela at which point the Brewers had Wong. So yes, we did have a second basemen...and a third basemen equal to or better than Urshela so I'm guessing that is what precluded a hypothetical acquisition of Urshela.
  25. 82brewcrew82
    I agree in that I don't see it happening but I think it will be the money, not the years. I really do not see the problem in giving him 3/4 years. We have high hopes for Jeferson but we don't really know yet. Even if he is ready in two years is he really going to assume an every day role from the start? Its more likely he splits time with someone.
