kolten wong returns from paternity leave
Underachiever replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think we are all disappointed in Kolten's lack of discipline. Everybody knows you don't have sex November to February to avoid a birth during the stretch run (no pun intended). -
Thanks for the link, Eye Black.

Not sure I can stay awake a third straight night. I’m dozing in my chair already.

Yankees-Red Sox wild card game? Yes, please.

Driving home from a party at the owner's house, no less! "The Mets said Scott was at a fundraiser for the team's Amazin' Mets Foundation at owner Steve Cohen's house in Connecticut on Monday night that was also attended by players. Scott left when the event ended around 8:30 or 9 p.m."

Pretty sure they said 52%.

Question: Does WAR take place in a vacuum, or is it related to the actual record of the team? Would an entire team's WAR equal the games over/under .500 that their record would indicate? Next question: what is the pitching WAR since the trade? That would probably answer my first question. WAR is context neutral, so while there is some correlation to teams wins it is not a straight one to one relationship. I believe replacement level is set at 46 wins, so a replacement team would have around 38/39 wins at this point in the season + 19 WAR from position players + 24 WAR from pitchers = 81/82 wins. Starters have been relatively steady all year, but the bullpen really took off after the deal... Starters thru 5/21: 228 IP | 3.27 ERA | 3.42 FIP | 5.9 rWAR (6th) Starters post 5/22: 470 IP | 3.10 ERA | 3.16 FIP | 12.7 rWAR (2nd) Relievers thru 5/21: 164 IP | 4.59 ERA | 4.83 FIP | 0.3 rWAR (19th) Relievers post 5/22: 317 IP | 3.12 ERA | 3.76 FIP | 5.3 rWAR (3rd) So, purposely ignoring everything you said to create a hot take, Brewers have had 18 WAR from pitchers, 16 WAR from position players, which equals 34, yet are only 31 over since the trade? Conclusion: They lost the trade. Lock the thread.

Brewers are three games behind the Dodgers now. If the Dodgers play well enough to pass the Giants, it's hard to imagine the Brewers playing four games better than that. Same with the Giants holding off the Dodgers. We can do the same math games we were doing with the Reds a few weeks ago. If SF goes 16-14 the rest of the way, the Brewers need to go 20-9. And on and on...

Playoff tickets / season ticket renewal email
Underachiever replied to Patrick425's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If someone is thinking of pulling the trigger on playoff tickets, but maybe needs a partner to split the cost, let me know. I usually buy individual games because I travel so much for work. However, I am grounded for at least the next two months because of the surge, so I will be available (and eager) to get to some games. -

Can MLB just keep extending Bauer's suspension? Not advocating for him coming back, just asking. I don't know how broad the powers of Manfred's office are.

My favorite result of this is the 19-9 record August. My second favorite is the lack of one-note negative posting on Brewerfan by certain posters. One in particular posted only four times in August.

September 1st, Magic number is 20, Brewers have taken two from a probable playoff opponent at their place, Adames back, Vogelbach looks like he's back, Peralta this weekend, Escobar should be back on the weekend as well. Optimism thread cannot be allowed to drop to page 2!

“MLB Announces Two-Platoon Baseball-SRB’s Head Explodes”
-
56-6 when they score five runs? That’s outstanding.
-
Do the hitters realize Woodruff is pitching?
-
Right. To be precise, the Dodgers are already three games ahead of the Brewers, record-wise, so there is no passing being done. Brewers have to make up 3 and 4.5 games on LA and SF in the last month to be the number one seed. I am intrigued by the possible scenarios that could play out in the Dodger series that ends the season. But, that's September's problem!

Suicide squeeze with Burnes. Make it happen
-
If you haven’t seen a game at SF, I recommend it highly. Beautiful park, great food, downtown location, spectacular setting. Number one on my list of parks (I’ve been to 28).
-
Reds pen vs. JBJ is an interesting matchup.
-
Help me out. What happened to Anderson?
-
Nice double play. Didn’t let them turn over the lineup
-
Well, Anderson’s working quickly. He walked Suarez before I even got back from the kitchen.
-
For the other olds on this site, did anyone else think of Bill Sharp? Anyone? Just me? Why I remembered he was number 26, I have no idea.
