  1. I hope they wrap up the series win (which isn't really all that important at this point anyway) today so I don't have to pay attention tomorrow while at the Packer game.
  2. This is a really good point. The org continues to stockpile upside talent. Eventually some of that talent is going to pop. True, the "blue chip" talent isn't necessarily there in the professional prospect evaluation circles but there is exciting talent all up and down the minor leagues. Another wave will come when the international signings come in later in the year.
  3. Just out of curiosity, what kind of probability do you associate with “not being particularly worried” about a team? I know when I look at a baseball playoff game or series, I’m pretty happy if I think my team has a 50-50 chance, or maybe a little better than that, because it isn’t likely to be a lot better than that against any playoff caliber team. That being the case, I would be worried (or at least concerned) about any opponent. And that’s why the projected probability of the Brewers winning the World Series is only around 10%, which is close to the 12.5% that it would be if every game and series were considered a 50-50 toss up. The Brewers getting to the playoffs and having as good a chance as almost everyone else is all I ask, and this year we are getting it. To be fair, you worry about almost everything. Having said that, i reject your question based on premise alone and reasons others have already stated better than I could. My statement was simply that I believe the Brewers are a better team than any of the three mentioned and do not fear matching up with any of them in a playoff series. The Dodgers, in my opinion, pose a larger threat. You continue to rehash an old argument that you were on the wrong side of before and still are, mainly as a failure to understand the subject matter (which, as noted, others have already pointed out) at hand which has nothing to do with my statement.
  4. The Reds are circling the drain, losing multiple series' to poor teams over the last month. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Cardinals take 2 of 3 from them this weekend, if not outright sweep them. The Cards are doing what they typically do in September - play solid baseball. They just don't have the horses this year to be anything more than a possible Wild Card participant. Still, they probably have enough to pass up the Reds. To be honest it seems like all of the team involved in the chase for the last two NL playoff spots are playing somewhere between meh and blah. I think I'd prefer everything to say like it is aligned now with the Reds eventually taking the wild card. I think if the Reds can line up Castillo for a one game playoff with the Dodgers, they would have a chance to beat them. I'm not particularly worried about the Reds, Giants or Braves in a playoff series. Not that those team couldn't bet the Crew, I just think the Brewers are better than the others.
  5. Took my kids to a mudcats game a few years back and it was a t-shirt give away game. They got signatures of Jose Ramirez, Tyler Naquin and Francisco Lindor (among others) on that t-shirt and still they still have it.
  6. Peralta's a complete lock for the third pitcher in the playoffs. He's basically doing his rehab assignment in MLB. He'll be completely fine. Yeah, I'm not seeing anything that worries me. Should have been out of that inning a long time ago.
  7. Like when they took 3/4 from the Giants and 2/3 from the Cardinals? Massive downward trend there
  8. So enjoy the ride instead of posting about every little thing it's the final nail in the coffin of the season.
  9. He’s given up 0 earned runs in 4 of his last 5 outings coming into today and has a 3.23 ERA since the start of June. This seems more like a self-fulfilling prophecy than anything. Candidate for post of the year right there.
