    This post hurt more than I thought it would, yikes :)

    Let's revisit this during Jackson's season where he's 24 years old and I'll let you know.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pretty crazy. It's baseball. 162 game season. Stretches where you play 15-19 games in a row with no days off. Even the best teams go through bad stretches. Look at the Dodgers when we swept them last year during the regular season. That team mowed us down in the playoffs when it counts, it didn't matter they played like crap during the regular season for a stretch. Every team does at some point. The good teams just do it less and we're one of those teams yep.

    Great first half, really for Brewers baseball can't ask for much better. It was the best first half we've ever seen, and I think we all still feel like this team hasn't played up to it's true potential which is exciting. Too many here are quick to criticize My main concerns are can the young arms last and be strong down the stretch and into the playoffs? Many haven't pitched this many innings before ever, will they pitch like Miz in last year's playoffs and look great? Or will they look like Shawn Marcum / Jeffress in 2011 Playoffs and show signs of wear?

    Henry Blanco was 12 I think. Should be retired. :)

    How much of us does this really affect? We aren't the ones sitting in the front rows anyways at games so this doesn't bother me too much. Maybe once or twice every year or two I'll splurge for really close seats if there's a deal online that's it. Maybe the Brewers have some marketing dept data that they are lacking some higher end stuff and missing out on things other teams have.

    He's like Mark Mulder or Cory Lidle on the A's right now when Zito and Hudson got most of the press. But man they both have been amazing.
  13. kestrel79
    Yep it would be nice to have a large group of starters healthy for that 18 game stretch next month before the all star break. There's another long one in there at the end of the season too I think. Pretty brutal schedule. Really could use Woody and Priester for those.
  14. kestrel79
    Sal is so short most pitches are high in the zone on him. Great W, man Bauers again. Like to see the insurance runs late too.
  15. kestrel79
    Was at the game last night that Hamilton catch was pretty amazing. Looked like there was NO chance anyone would get that ball and he got there without diving. Truly great speed.
  16. kestrel79
    Great steal of a win. These guys never give up. Love to see it.
  17. kestrel79
    We have 2-3 grueling stretches of baseball later in the season this year, for the first time in a few seasons I believe. This year most of our off days were front loaded. I have a feeling those 2 x 18 games in a row stretches coming up later in the season might make our younger players tire out a bit, or some September they might fade with increased workload compared to in years past. But the Brewers have been smart with dealing with these issues in the past or calling up other players to help and they do a good job so I have faith and trust the front office.

    Knowing the history of both these teams, something is coming. Either today or a later series something is coming.
  19. kestrel79
    Here's to hoping Jomboy does a deep dive. He usually finds this kinda stuff. If more happens today I bet he will do one.
  20. kestrel79
    Clearly a case of the scouting report on him getting out to all the teams and knowing how to attack him better. The question will be can he adjust as well? Keston couldn't for us, we shall see if PCA can for them.
  21. kestrel79
    Playing really good ball against the tough teams so far, I like it.
  22. kestrel79
    I think we forget sometimes how young he was when he was called up. Braun was probably still 1-2 years older than Jackson when he debut as a Rookie coming from college. He is still very young.
  23. kestrel79
    Sounds like it wasn't the groin on the TV broadcast. Said after playing his back was sore, and the coaching and medical staff didn't want to risk it and sat him to avoid a larger issue. Still not promising. You think a month of rehab and rest on that groin would make his back feel better as well.

    Surprised to see the Pads out to a hot start. Didn't they sign a lot of their guys from their "core" a few years ago to all big contracts, and trade away a lot of their minor league talent to "win now" and it backfired on them? Or is it a lot of guys from that older core healthy to start a season plus some new guys as well.
  25. kestrel79
    No, you don't extend him. Don't we have Miz and a lot of these other guys people want to extend under team control through like 2030? We keep doing smart Brewer things and keep these guys for 5-6 years, then deal them and reload on prospects near the end and stay competitive. It's worked since 2017 keep doing it. This guy throws so hard, which is awesome. Man is he fun to watch. But you're telling me between now and his team control ending Miz won't have any kind of arm issues? That's almost impossible.
