    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?
  5. kestrel79
    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
  8. kestrel79
    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.
  9. kestrel79
    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.
  10. kestrel79
    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.... :)
  12. kestrel79
    You mean the team that cancels games for rainouts when it's sunny? Nahhh
  13. kestrel79
    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.
  14. kestrel79
    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.
  15. kestrel79
    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... :)
  16. kestrel79
    It's like other teams have watched film on what we do an analyzed it, and we have yet to adapt to their changes yet and have struggled. I'm staying positive they will figure it out down the stretch. Would rather have them struggle now and get hot for the playoffs...instead of like in years past where we peak now and struggle down the stretch. Maybe the best is yet to come? Is this the optimism thread? :)
  17. kestrel79
    Going to bring this thread back up to the top where it needs to be. I know with the 3 game losing streak to start the west coast trip, and the Cubs close behind people are losing their minds on the board. Remember last year when we swept the Dodgers during the regular season, then they mowed us down in the playoffs healthy? Maybe that will be us this year. We're going through a rough patch right now, guys banged up, and we'll get hot at the right time before and during the playoffs and finally win when we have to. I'd rather have the team struggle now than say end of September and October. Who's with me! Go Brewers! :)

    Here's to hoping Yelich, Contreras, and Chourio all find it similar down the stretch and into the playoffs. Good to see Jackson getting there lately. Now we need the other guys.
  19. kestrel79
    This post hurt more than I thought it would, yikes :)
  20. kestrel79
    Let's revisit this during Jackson's season where he's 24 years old and I'll let you know.
  21. kestrel79
    This. Remember all the preseason rankings and standings? We were last in our division in many of them. No respect. And now they call us losers? Who cares.
  22. kestrel79
    I'm going to trust our pitching team can get the most out of this guy, along with May and the Rockies guy. They've been right more than they have been wrong for a long time now. But yes a lot of our past deadline bullpen deals are living rent free in my mind...
  23. kestrel79
    I know it hasn't translated to the playoffs, but the Brewers during this hot stretch since 2017-18 or so seem to usually play quite well against good teams, and good pitchers during the regular season. You just have to roll the dice and hope our guys get hot at the right time and play like that in the playoffs one of these years and we win it all. It's possible. Man looking at stats for Yeli, Wild Bill, and Jackson all 3 of those guys need to step it up. I'd rather they struggle now, and get hot in the playoffs than the other way around. Their time will come, still a long ways to go this season.
  24. kestrel79
    I like him resting a bit and figuring it out in AAA, and he rejoins the team in Sept for the playoffs and comes out of the pen as a 2-3 inning guy. Just needs to throw strikes a little more and harness the awesome stuff.
  25. kestrel79
    Joey has looked better of late too. All of our younger guys have gone through those stretches where the book is out on them and teams adjust how they pitch you, and you have to now counter adjust. You just knew those Cubs pitchers weren't going to throw him a strike, just high fastballs and see if he'd lay off. He didn't.
