Is it wrong of me to hope that the Padres figure it out over the next couple weeks, and keep both the Reds and Cardinals out of the playoffs? I have no interest in seeing either team in the playoffs, despite the fact that neither should pose much of a threat to the Brewers on paper. The Reds lineup is still scary if they get hot (even though the rest of the team is a raging dumpster fire), and Cardinal devil magic is extra magical in October.

Introduced my kids to a bunch of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy clips last night. MacDonald's bits sometimes didn't hit home, and he was certainly an acquired taste as the anchor of Weekend Update, but his comedic timing was impeccable, as was his ability to not break character in some of the best skits in the show's history.

I mean, I get your point, but this is literally the Magic Number thread, where we count down the Brewers eliminating ... other teams. Worrying about others is kinda the whole point of the thread.
-
Nope, not this year at least. Hopefully just a few more days.
-
Plenty of blame to go around. Nobody brought their bats to Detroit apparently. At least we saw the return of Good Freddy. That's a positive as they start to think playoffs. -
Dang what a crappy evening. Kinda forgot what that feels like lately. Hopefully just a blip.
-
Bases loaded with one down against a pitcher with a 7.50 ERA. Maddening.
-
I think that was exactly what the Tigers were thinking too.
-
With how well they've been swinging the bats of late, they were probably due a stinker.
-
Good hustle to beat that out, though.
-
32 pitches of terror tonight. Oh man. Cards escape a two one with 1 out jam too. That one is still tied 4-4.
-
Dang Hader ... cool it with the wildness.
-
I hope we’re focusing on the division race. The division race is really inevitable at this point. I know there is still crazy math out there, but its done. And the Mets just tied it up in the bottom of the 9th.
-
Rasmussen has been really good lately. He was the guy I didnt want to lose. JP hasnt been very good since coming back from injury. I'm sure Rasmussen was the prize of that deal for the Rays. Bonus points if they turn him into a legit starting pitcher. That seems somewhat unlikely given his injury history, but the Rays do some funky things with their pitchers. He's definitely got a ton of talent.
-
I know Boxberger has been a solid reliever throughout a large portion of his career, but dang, he's been nearly lights out this year! What a pick-up!
-
By my count he needs 10 more. It was 23 more as of Friday morning, and he had 10 plate appearances over the weekend against Cleveland, plus 3 tonight.
-
Edit: No Pat Listach for tonight. Hopefully he can make his reappearance tomorrow.
-
That article is an abomination. Yeah, I'm sure the story has been told after an unprecedented 60 game season and 45 games of the next one. Completely asinine and I hope that "writer" feels as stupid as he should. I wonder what handle David Gaspar uses on this forum? I saw plenty of posts earlier this season that hit on a bunch of his "points". Clickbaity waste of time to read, though.
-
I kinda get the feeling he was keeping the door open for a possible return through the summer, but likely came to the realization eventually that he really didn't miss it all that much. Kinda a crappy way for him to go out with a mediocre season in front of no fans, but he's a player I will always remember fondly for coming up with some HUGE franchise moments and helping usher in this current era of competitive Brewers baseball.
-
It would certainly be nice to see Freddy have a "get right" game tonight. He hasn't been great since coming off the IL.
-
I think we could see Corey Ray get some time in the mix. On the one hand, he does seem to be very good on defense, he's fast, and he's got some pop. But his walk rate is down and the strikeouts are still high. The stolen base totals are also down. He's a left-handed Keon Broxton. Not bad for a team like the 2015-2016 iteration of the Brewers, and valuable for the defense, pop, and speed. But the lower SB totals, the strikeouts, and the drop in the walk rate are red flags. Hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps after 2018, or even 2019, the Brewers should have dealt him, not Grisham. David Dahl is probably ahead of Ray right now. Heck, at this pace, the right-handed Keon Broxton might be ahead of Ray in the pecking order. Ray likely isn't going to survive the offseason and maintain his 40-man roster spot.
-
You’re right. It probably is. Perhaps I’ve held him to a higher standard the past 2.5 years because I didn’t like the pick. It’s beyond me why you’d hand out a pair of massive FA contracts to edge rushers and then use the #12 pick to draft another edge rusher. Even if he breaks out later this year, they’ll only get him cheap for 1.5 years. Zach Kruse @zachkruse2 · 8m Rashan Gary led the Packers with 4 pressures, including 2 QB hits. Only rushed 16 times.

Link Report for Sunday 9/12
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
He is on a massive heater. It's at the point where I'm surprised he doesn't get an extra-base hit. It's likely not going to happen right away next season, but I'm starting to wonder if Wiemer is going to be the eventual replacement for Avi Garcia. The way things are shaping up, Wiemer will likely start at Biloxi net season, if not make the jump to Nashville. -
This is really grasping at straws to find something to complain about with this team. It really isn't frustrating at all. Other teams being good is allowed.
-
He's not wrong Yes he is. I get teased about things I did 30 years ago within my circle of friends. That doesn't mean my friends were offended by those things. The notion that someone can't find something ridiculous (or just factually incorrect) without being offended by that thing is just wrong. I meant YOU weren't wrong.
