  1. Buxton, my god. Brought in to pinch run and gets picked off to end the eighth.
  2. I try not to be Eeyore, but this is so discouraging. End of season injuries have not been kind to Milwaukee the last two seasons. And I'm in no way reassured by the "it's not serious" comments. This sucks.
  3. The underhand may be more effective for some of our guys. Warm up right-handed, start the game left-handed. Is this guy available? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Jaster "The main highlight of Jaster's 1966 season, were his league leading five shutouts, all of which were against the NL pennant winning Los Angeles Dodgers." And I know it's not the optimism thread, but why are you worried about the Brewers needing 27 innings or three games? They can finish these bums in 18 and 2.
  4. Optimism thread. Why would the Brewers need a third starter against the Dodgers? They only need two wins.
  5. If it's nasty offense you want, have I got a team for you!
  6. I’ve watched most games this year. Why I’m so pissed today, I don’t know. Gotta be that it’s the cards
  7. Maybe someone on this board can use sabremetrics to make us all feel better about that horrible, non-competitive at-bat by Hiura.
  8. Can’t come back if you don’t fall behind first. Molina with a PB
  9. Not me, I want to be up by 12 runs, pitching Arcia in the 9th to rest the bullpen... I want to POUR IT ON! Take it easy, Coach Carter.
  10. In their case, adversity = stupidity. They have gotten what they deserve, but the sad thing is, their competition has had to pay the price for their stupidity as well. Screw the Cardinals, now and forever. In their case, their stupidity can get them up to three extra home games. Last night, and the potential doubleheader on Monday.
  11. Nah, win the game. Brewers bat second this game. Are you saying you would not have pitched him?
  12. Hey, I talked my way into Fenway without a ticket not once, but twice. Two of my favorite stories! One was a Yankee-Red Sox game.
  13. Also make it pitcher's hand and get rid of the first baseman. That'll defeat the shift.
  14. I get frustrated with everything being reduced to a number. Hiura's numbers are above average for a second baseman? Okay, the Brewers aren't looking for average 2nd base production from him. They probably aren't getting league average numbers from other positions that generally have more pop, like third base. Brewers are somewhere in the .600s at that position, so it points out the need for the Brewers to get production from elsewhere. I don't think Hiura was brought in to be an offensive equal of Starlin Castro, who he trails in OPS, again, if you are using OPS as your benchmark. And there is no way to spin positive about his strikeouts. I think, based on where the Brewers bat him, they think he is their second-best bat. Viewed that way, is a .730 OPS good? So, yes, I'm concerned about Hiura. That doesn't mean trade him, bench him, cut him, or send him to Appleton, but I thought he would be better than this. I'm not excited to see him at the plate or that he is coming up in the next inning. I was last year.
