  1. Put the kids to bed, log into iPad and see the game thread is only 5 pages long a couple hours into the game. My guess was the Brewers were up big and it turned out to be true :) Nice W feels like we never get "comfortable" wins like this. Ever. Or is it just me? There has to be a stat on which team has most wins by a 5 run or more lead my guess is we are near the bottom?
  2. mixed sex track? Is that new? That is awesome! Would of loved something like that in high school or college.
  3. I'd rather have them go through a lull now than in September before the playoffs. Gotta get hot at just the right time.
  4. Shouldn't there have been a "Safety" playing way back just in case someone broke one like that? Just seems like a epic collapse in D from the other team.
  5. That's the crazy thing about baseball. Even the best teams, the World Series champs every year go through tough losing stretches. It just happens. Wow is that our old Brett Phillips? What a story that would be if he came back to the MLB to pitch. He always did have a cannon. Great laugh too wishing the best for him! That World Series hit was epic on the Rays.
  6. I've accepted the fact that I'm now too old and not the prime age for these jerseys to appeal to me. We aren't the target market for these. People that say "fire, drip, rizz, and wild" are. But yes they are terrible. :)
  7. Yep! All these players back from the injured list is like our very own trade deadline acquisitions without having to give anyone away. Not too shabby and should help us in the 2nd half.
  8. Think we all know Winker will make us pay all weekend.
  9. Great W boys! Man I was catching up on the gamethread putting the kids to bed...reading the first 6 pages you could of swore Dallas gave up 15 runs in 2 innings on here...come to find out it was 2 over 5. Somehow still finding ways to win. Amazing.
  10. One good starter and I think we have a legit chance. Next year might be our year if Woody comes back strong and said starter we acquire is under control for another year. Maybe another arm in the pen you gotta thing some of these guys might be gassed by end of Sept. But our track record of deadline pen arms hasn't been good. We just might have to give up some good prospects...and I'm sure everyone here hates that fact but we have quite the logjam right now these next couple years if our younger guys keep it up.
  11. Sounds like a World Series to me...
  12. Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers for all the reasons above...
  13. Hoskins struggling hasn't helped. He was one of the guys who usually mashes LHP who was brought in.
  14. Was there about 15 years ago. Nice stadium. We sat one night close to the Brewers dugout, and then got cheap seats the next night we wanted to sit up by that purple mile high stripe which was cool. There used to be a Brewers/Packers bar close to the stadium that was kinda fun too after the game or before. Forget what it's called.
  15. My nightly putting the kids to bed routine is to check in on the IGT because it's quieter and less bright than the game. If it's 3-5 pages long, we're winning...if it's 5-10 pages long we're losing. If it's over 10 pages we came back to make it close and blew it late, or we ended up winning. Any loss seems to bring out the haters, despite this team exceeding expectations like crazy so far and doing it very banged up as well I might add. Pretty exciting!
  16. Close it out boys come on! Need this one.
  17. What a great series! Pretty fun games to watch all series. Close back and forth battles, great d, young players. The return of Craigers. Should make for a fun rivalry for years to come here.
  18. No bunt there? I thought that's why Miller was brought in. He's bunted in the past pretty good right?
  19. No Dunn needs more at bats to not swing.
  20. I know everyone likes to make the sky is falling posts after a couple bad games. But like others have said this is baseball. It's a long 162 game season. Even the best teams lose series, lose to bad teams, have long losing streaks, get shutout, get no hit. It happens. I swear this team could be the 2001 Mariners and there would be a 20 page thread on the IGT page saying how bad the team is. Thanks for posting those stats, the data doesn't lie. Overall they have been a pretty good offense this year so far despite a crazy amount of injuries and growing pains of young players, and a patchwork starting rotation. Gotta give the front office and coaching staff credit.
  21. That has to be David Weathers son right? Looks just like ole Stormy but with long hair. Feels like yesterday but he was late 90's setup guy correct?
  22. Do people from St. Louis really say "The Lou"? Where does Nike get this stuff. I do like that it's a red jersey, but that's about it. Also the hat seems really generic and a different font than what they normally use. 3 letters on a baseball cap just doesn't sit well with me...and I include our MKE hats in there as well.
  23. Hats off the Brewers staff for finding these guys and developing them what seems like each and every year. This is why we don't spend in Free Agency that much, we don't have to. But yes my concern is will these guys be able to not burn out the second half? It feels like we use these guys way too much. But we have lots of people coming off the DL, or people we can call up to maybe balance that like Sveum mentioned.
  24. Was this the Daniel Norris trade? Or Chafin? I think Norris. Yikes most of those deadline bullpen deals backfired the last couple years. Reese would look pretty good in our rotation right now...
  25. Crazy to see his stance change that much in a years time. Great video and breakdown. Does anyone know what the hockey puck bat does? Is it a balance thing having that bigger knob on there? He chokes up quite a bit on that giant bat too I've noticed. Glad it's working!
