Strickland has been a nice under the radar acquisition.

Been fun to have Williams dominating the 8th consistently.

Does he make the postseason roster?

Wong winning a gold glove as a Brewer will be fun! Watching him play defense is something to behold.

Report from Busch. Their food spread is incredible. Puts the Brewers to shame.

What did he hurt? Not seeing any replays at the game.

García could’ve had that…gave up to early.

Brewers 5 back of #1 seed and 9 games up for the #2 seed.

Will be at the game tonight. Couldn’t have asked for a better pitching draw. Hopefully they make the 7+ hour drive worth it!

Yeli with another double!

Ahh, handful and a finger. I was close!

I don’t know why citing past situations in which the Brewers and other teams have blown leads is interpreted as indicating that I think there is a “strong probability” that the Brewers are going to blow the lead, or that I expect them to blow it. To me, a “strong probability” would be at least 50% or more, and I am nowhere near that. As I’ve said, 90-95% probabilities are nice, but they aren’t guarantees of a desired result. My general attitude is that it isn’t over until it’s over, and that it currently isn’t over. The responses on this thread tell me that I am not alone in feeling this way. I also admitted above to being a little skeptical about these probabilities because they are attempting to apply mathematical calculations to something that has a significant human element. Once things go sour for a team the probabilities based on past performance and treating every game as an independent event can go out the window. For example, the Fangraphs charts show that the Padres had a playoff probability in the 95% range for much of late June through late July. Was that wild card race “statistically over”? Now just a few weeks later that probability is below 60%. It just shows how quickly these things can change. That is a fair and completely reasonable response. You are correct that those probabilities do take trends into account. If the Brewers were to suddenly drop 10 straight, those numbers would change drastically. Perhaps it is in the way you post that was perhaps causing me to read a little more into your posts than what you were truly trying to say. I think you tend to be on the more pessimistic/worst case side of the spectrum around here, so when I read your thoughts, I automatically assumed that you were almost expecting to Brewers to wilt down the stretch. I apologize if I took it out of context. Sure, if they drop a lot of games in a row. But talent matters. No way this pitching staff allows for that kind of skid. I mean, what’s the longest losing streak this year? A handful at most?

Perfect opportunity to show the league why we are one of the best!

Houser and Gustave. Gustave was in the dug out. So you’d think he’s past all tests to be around the team.

Yelich 107mph liner…can’t catch a break.

Have we ever had a better 1st inning? Score 7 runs then starting pitcher throws 4 pitches.

Braves up 3-0 early vs reds.

If my math is correct, JBJ only has 20 ABs since July 23rd. Brewers have played 15 games. That’s not a good ratio. Would they really dump him in September for someone who actually might play?

If they keep winning games I think it’s a moot point. Yeah, it’s less than ideal. But it certainly hasn’t hindered results thus far.

Will be fun next year seeing him take the #1 spot!

Ebbs and flows of the season. Going to lose more games in the next 8 weeks when the Reds win. My guess is we still out win them the rest of the way.

Twins take a 7-5 lead.

Eric Lauer has seized his opportunities! Probably the best 6th man in the league.

Stay the course. Play smart, clean baseball. We will be just fine!

Is that a thing?
