LOL what are you talking about? You were literally responding to my comment. -
LOL ... it was pretty well-covered at the time, and I was fully aware. And I agree it was a fun story for an organizational solider type like Pannone to defy the odds and throw a perfect game. That said, I don't think he needs you to defend him.
-
And? One good AAA game doesn't make him any less of a complete non-prospect organizational soldier.
-
The long and short of it is that they are really good, and if they so choose, can essentially coast to the finish line.
-
It's a good thing these have been so few and far between this season.
-
That is assuming a lot.
-
Question is ... would we trust Stallings to face the Dodgers in the NLCS? Umm ... it's still a very winnable game.
-
Sproat strikes me as a guy who may excel being able to come in and throw gas out of the pen. I'm not saying convert him right now, but I would consider that before cutting bait for sure.
-
For as much starting pitching talent the Brewers have in the majors and in the pipeline, you need to keep trying to develop guys like Harrison and Sproat simply to maintain that depth at the very least. No playoff team wants to be in the situation the Brewers themselves were in earlier this season when they were forced to call up a AAAA journeyman in Thomas Pannone for a spot start. Is it likely that both Harrison and Sproat can be turned into valuable starting pitchers longterm? Probably not. But I think there is a decent shot that one of them hits, and you hate to pick the wrong one or dump both because you were impatient.
-
Disagree with this. Mainly because many wanted Corbin dealt when he struggled immensely during his first extended stint in the majors. You don't give up on young pitchers with TOR-type stuff. Especially for pennies on the dollar.
-
Time to put Harrison in mothballs for this year, get him in the lab this offseason, and start fresh next spring. Obviously the arm talent is there, but the mentals are a mess right now.
-
Neck tightness. Murphy didn't make it sound too concerning.
-
Gonna be honest here ... unless Woody can logically serve a useful and valuable purpose, he has no business being anywhere close to the active playoff roster. I love what the guy has given the team over the years, but we have what very well may be the most complete team in the Brewers' playoff history, and it is going to take an "all hands on deck" approach, especially considering the lack of experience and MLB innings in our current rotation, to get through the Phillies and Dodgers of the world. That said, the Brewers brain trust, especially when it comes to pitching, has earned a lot of trust, and if they were to make the decision to activate Woody at any time during the upcoming playoff run, what a terrific story it would/could make.
-
Based on the MLB's established clinching rules, there is simply zero logic here. There is no longer such thing as a "shared" division championship or a Game 163. Choosing not to acknowledge rules doesn't mean they don't exist.
-
The magic number is already zero
-
Who knows ... maybe the Fangraphs guys will be willing to throw caution to the wind next spring and peg the 2027 Brewers for 84 wins. Might take some serious algorithm defying, though!
-
You mean to tell me that constant negativity and pessimism can be a buzzkill? Turbo, welcome to the dark (up) side!
-
So, tell me more about how the Cubs are going to pass up the Brewers by the end of August ....

2026 Magic Number Thread
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to formerlybis's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We have reached the best portion of the Magic Number Thread. First, Fernando! And finally, the burly, if not powerful, Franklin Stubbs and a bonus Jeff Leonard just for fun -
We'll likely see May for two more regular season starts. If he pitches well, I think the #3 position is his ... perhaps with Gasser in reserve.
-
Probably moreso a mix of two off days and lack of save situations.

While a tad polarizing, Nyjer brought the energy. -

Reds (Abbott) vs Brewers (May): 9/11/26, 6:45pm
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Archived Game Threads
He was looking significantly better last week against the Reds before the double rain delay prematurely knocked him out of the game. I'm pretty interested in seeing which version of May shows up tonight. You are spot on --- they need someone who can step into that #3 role and provide solid innings. -
Fixated? You are giving yourself WAY too much credit here LOL. I really don't care whatsoever that it was you who made the post. I don't know you from Adam. I simply picked the post with the most pessimistic prediction and ran with it. I previously explained why I didn't make a prediction. Life does tend to get in the way at times. I don't think anyone here would say that I've ever shied away from making predictions, and calling myself out on those which turn out to be hopelessly wrong. Even laughing at myself. I know ... novel concept. Instead of taking offense to what was an innocuous reply, maybe give laughter and humility a whirl.
