    They are the new "greasy" team the last couple years when I tune in. They always seem to come through, and the media and announcers will say it's "good teams find ways to win"...but man they seem to get all the flags at just the right time ANY time I watch them. And they are ALWAYS on national TV because of Mahones and Kelsey. Just too much $ at stake. But man they are hard to watch for me agreed.

    Same here. Born in 83, I was too young for those good 80's teams and grew up with the end of Robin Yount and Molitor but mainly remember the era you mentioned '93-2004 as the teams and players I'd follow. Never thought I'd see the Brewers in the playoffs ever, and here we are almost getting spoiled by it the past 7 years, and 10-15 years before that even with the 08 and 2011 teams. But it's time to win some playoff games, and get hot and be that team in this year's playoffs. Sick of the bats going cold and us losing. I also hope this shuts up the haters that "Owner is cheap" crowds and comments. They are spending their money wisely where it counts off the field to be competitive every year and it's working. We can't be LA. We can't be the Cubs. We have to find other ways to win and they have. Give credit to the front office when it's due.

    Any of these teams will be tough. It's the playoffs there's no "easy" team this year like the Rockies kinda were in 2018 where we just rolled them. We're just gonna have to be that hot team for a change and not the other guys to win.

    We need some Tyler Houston in this thread.

    Wow interesting fact we have a losing record against the NL this season. I wouldn't of guessed that. We beat up on the AL East and AL Central right? So I guess that means we just have to get to the World Series then.

    When I think of Listach and Hamilton I think of them in those early 90's 3000 hits era uniforms, not the later 90's ones. Good to see!

    We've done well against good teams this year, and good aces. Hoping that transfers over to the playoffs.

    He was having a good season until the concussion thing. Wasn't that in SF? We also need some Marquis Grissom photos.

    Wow that long ago. I remember that year with those 3 backups I went to a lot of games because everyone was selling their tickets. It's happening right now too at work. Everyone is selling their home opener tickets.

    I think he forgot the "new" overtime rules that have been in place for a while now. I thought the same thing.

    What year did Rodgers miss a lot of time? 2018? When we had the Badgers guy, and Kizer and someone else. That was tough to watch. This will be a good test for the rest of the team and the coaching staff. Can we win without a star QB? I'd like to see MLF get creative and use Malik and Clifford together for the QB running/option stuff mixed with traditonal pocket passing and play action. Lots of runs, screens, get the WRs on the end around stuff. And the D needs to show up and win the game like the Bears did yesterday. That was exciting to see. Can our D do that?

    Very cool! That race is grueling much respect to anyone in that.

    Ashby has been filthy since coming back up. Hope he can stay healthy. He is basically like 2018 Hader right now coming out of the pen and giving you multiple innings.

    Very good post. I was born in 1983, so pretty much most of my childhood has been worshipping terrible Brewers teams of the 90's and early 2000s. Wondering will I ever live to see the Brewers in the playoffs? 2008 and to present has been pretty darn good when you think about how bad it was. We got it pretty good right now. Arguably this is the best stretch of baseball the franchise has ever had consistency wise. But I'm not surprised. I remember on the Bucks thread the year they won it all the negative Nancie's coming out of the woodwork that entire playoff run. Same with Brewers. I'm pumped and looking forward to it, and on paper we should be even better next year. That Brewers 2020 playoff team was pretty bad...was that the year we played the Dodgers and had that one awful guy battling cleanup? I think we were under .500 too in that short season. How was that only 4 years ago?

    Seems like a good utility guy for the future.
  16. kestrel79
    This is exactly my thoughts. In years past we've had "Craigtember" and been on fire through this month...and how did that work out for us? Not so good except for 2018 really. I'd rather have the funk now and get hot when it counts. That hasn't happened in a long time, if ever. Let's be this year's D'Backs.

    They are peaking too early! :)

    You know what I'm ok with us scuffling a bit now. Better now than in the playoffs. How many teams that have won the World Series recently had some pretty bad stretches of baseball leading into the playoffs? Atlanta? The Cardinals in 2011 when they beat us? Suck now, find it and get hot right before or during the playoffs that's what I want.
  19. kestrel79
    Despite the Yelich injury really like how this team is getting healthy at the right time going into the last month of the season and maybe make a run in the playoffs and be that underdog hot team.
  20. kestrel79
    My in-laws were visiting during this playoff series and game along with our 3 month old daughter. I really had to show some restraint and self control not yelling at the TV that last game.

    You know what after that 2021 season when we lost to the Braves and we had the desirable #1 or #2 seed, the rotation lined up perfectly, the bullpen and lineup well rested...we came out and won game 1 but the offense was in a funk and we lost to a hot team I don't worry about all that kinda stuff like I used to. The baseball playoffs the way they are now are just too much of a lottery. You just gotta be the hot team at that time to win it all. Same with AZ last year. Why not us this year? Maybe we will be that scary hot team at that time down the stretch no one wants to play?

    Someone will sign him for big money. I think it's only a matter of time before he breaks down too. I think he'll end up like Prince where he never was hurt much in his younger years, and eventually it catches up with him in the back half of his career after signing the big deal. I can't imagine throwing upper 90's cutters is good on your arm.
  23. kestrel79
    I feel like these two teams are very similar this year. Is Cleveland mainly made up of homegrown cheaper talent and dumpster diving like we do? Looking forward to it!
  24. kestrel79
    To quote Yeli from Spring Training before the season started "Because uh yeah, we're the Brewers." - Which looking back sums up pretty much why we rarely get any national media love or attention despite having the most wins and fans in the seats over the past 10 years of any franchise. Because we're the Brewers.

    I love how Devin has them thinking changeup and then he blows the fastball by them.
