This is where I'm at. I kinda liked the call. But you have to dial up your BEST play there. As soon as they lined up I was like "whoa that is a long 1 yard no way they sneak or run here" and then saw the sneak called yikes. Needed a short pass there. I remember them doing this last year and being pretty successful at dialing up 4th down short yardage pass plays that were very effective.

I agree I think we are forgetting Bauers is doing all this right now banged up. I don't think they want him in RF and hurting himself more.

Just want to say I enjoy this thread every year for 2 reasons: 1) It means the Brewers are good and clinching a playoff spot, which as someone who grew up with the dark ages teams of 1994-2006 I never take for granted and realize how amazing this run is. 2) random old Brewers photos that make me laugh. The deeper the the player the better. Glad to see Tyler Houston getting some love.

Wait I thought they were catching us by end of August?

So he's Russell Branyan? Or Schwarber? Can he play D yet? Or is he like a DH type of guy.

I think it was someone on this board I remember pointing out whenever someone criticized Chourio that he still isn't at the same age when Braun made his MLB debut...and this is what like his 4th full season with us? You just forget how young he still is, and he's going to have ups and downs and make mistakes. But man if I was an opposing pitcher, I wouldn't throw him a strike. Still seems swing happy to me.

He would not of liked Dontrelle Willis lol

He's really heating up, and seems to live for the big games and big moments. Lots of swag and confidence. When he came up to the plate Tuesday night you could just see in his eyes he was going to tie the game.

Agreed. They need to figure out a better system for the Playoffs. I feel like not saving them for the right moment someone is going to lose a playoff game(s) because of it.

What a game! Glad I kept the faith you can never count this team out. You could feel that momentum shift after the Yeli walk. Go back and watch Chourio strut up to the plate. Like he already knew he was going to tie that game, it was swag city. Then the Mitchell play happens, you just knew we were going to win. DL Hall too amazing pitching. How awesome has it been that he has found something at the right time?

Pretty cool of Votto to say that. He's not wrong.... :)

You mean the team that cancels games for rainouts when it's sunny? Nahhh

Some of those SD games were close to being winnable as well. Just a clutch hit or two short. Baseball gonna baseball. Not bad for still the offense not playing the greatest.

Agreed he's my MVP too I think. He's the one steady guy who hasn't really slumped yet all season. Just very consistent. And yeah appears to be vocal in team leadership which flies under the radar.

Nice series win after a rough series in SD. It happens even to really good teams. I think we have the season tiebreaker now again LA too? So that was a huge win in that regard in case we tie with them record wise for homefield...not that it mattered much last year...or in 2018...or in 2021... :)
