Love it! Huge insurance runs right there. Great to have a little bit of breathing room now. -
yeah, it's a small sample, but Pomeranz is a stud in the pen.
-
Yeah, that sounds about right. Chacin is a good pitcher. I'm not real sure what happened this year
-
It's not that he can't, but like almost all LHP, he's better against lefty bats. With all your better RHP relievers available, they are probably better options. Plus Suter isn't far removed from a 3 inning outing. Suter still in dugout so looks like he's unavailable Some speculation in the Twittersphere that they may look to shuffle the rotation and give him some starts.
-
Really a clutch outing tonight exactly when they needed it. I don't think it's too out of line to say that Lyles has been dang near this team's MVP since August.
-
Are they letting Lyles come out for the 6th? Edit: Yep
-
Yep, quality out and station to station baseball. Who are these guys?
-
Great AB from Brauny. They have to be close to chasing this guy.
-
Just think of all the big name starters that haven't been as good as Lyles since we traded for him...... Moreso, imagine the package we would have had to give up for a starter like Bumgarner who would be lucky to put up results approaching what Lyles has done. Sometimes the guys that run this team know more than we do.
-
So 4 games worth of ABs, and he sucks again? Yes he sucks > OFFENSIVELY .250 .319 73 ops+ = as good as his defense has been, his lack of offense has really hurt this team. Yeah, with those kind of numbers, anyone who isn't crazy knows that we are stuck with him for next year.
-
Every outing from Jordan Lyles kinda makes me like him more.

Most any affordable corner power bat is going to be about the same. And yes, Thames is very affordable.
-
You are either just trying to mystify people, or you are genuinely bi-polar.

Houser: Starter or Reliever
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to pacopete4's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He’s a starter going forward. Rough one last night, but otherwise has been very good in that role. -
Please tell me you didn't actually believe that load of hogwash if they actually said that. No kidding! Hook, line and sinker. Shaw has had nothing but a great attitude his whole time with the Brewers.
-
What happened to Nelson’s supposed increased velocity? Maxing out at 93 and nibbling on the corners ain’t gonna cut it.
-
All of a sudden they are on a two game winning streak going into Monday.
-
All things considered I think it's been a fairly cool headed GT. Some disappointment but no one is saying it is over. Just from a few of the usual suspects. I mean, they weren’t gonna win out. Come back tomorrow and start a new streak.
-
Yeah. Win 7 straight. Drop one. All hope is lost. Sheesh.
-
I imagine the team will feel that it's important that Yelich be around them as much as possible.

You can when you employ video game economics. It has been explained in countless threads now how and why it would be nearly impossible for the Brewers to get out form under Cain's deal without having to eat a bunch of it or taking on a matching bad contract (think Johnny Cueto's) in return. But BC92 refuses to acknowledge this, instead believing that there is a team out there who will gladly take on the remaining 3 years of a aging, declining player's contract, while probably thinking they will provide something of value to the Brewers as well. That's just not the way baseball economics currently work. 15 years ago you might have been able to find an idiot GM that would play that game. Not today. Cain wouldn't recoup value unless he started out like gangbusters next year, and proved that this year was an outlier. But then the Brewers would probably just keep him. Also, BC92 continues to beat on the idea that Yelich will be dealt after the 2020 season. That's a whole different argument, but it likely has a below 0% chance of happening I imagine.
-
It is absolutely crazy how a week of no losses in September can change a team's outlook. The Brewers have basically gone from an afterthought in mid August to a team virtually in control of their own playoff destiny.
-
Agreed. I totally understand that there are all kinds of different ways to be a fan, and that we are constantly going to disagree with each other, while in the end wanting the same common goal. I guess I just have a difficult time understanding the constant defeatist attitude. I work with a guy who watches every Brewer game religiously, but truly believes that the team is one of the worst in the league and has absolutely no shot of doing anything this season. It has gotten to the point where it's difficult to have a Brewer-themed conversation with him, because he sucks all the hope out of being a fan. I mean, we are all guilty of getting down on the team from time to time. Hell, I accused the offense of quitting on the season last month. It was temporary, and I quickly regretted feeling this way and stating it in a public forum, but I still did it. I quickly jumped on the bandwagon again, and have been factoring equations every day to determine what the team would have to do to make the postseason. I guess that's why it bothers me so much ... because I just can't wrap my mind around the idea that anyone gets any joy out of this manner of fandom. Most of them wrote off this team weeks ago, if not months ago … and they are writing them off again following Yelich's injury. I mean, either cheer for them or don’t, but don’t keep repeating to me that the season is over. For me, they are alive until the math doesn’t work, and despite everything working against them, the math keeps getting better.

Go Pirates, Braves, Dodgers and Reds!
