It is completely silly to defend the Brewers this year You & I both know that they have performed poorly against the NL Central bottom three - Reds, Cubs, & these pesky Pirates Burnes started tonight … he was bad … we should win these games easily … we don’t have a good team - even if we somehow escape this game with a win -
Are you aware we just tied the Pirates - who are awful - after Burnes pitched a stinker? This has not been a fun game, a fun team … & like anyone with a brain - yes, I’m thrilled to see Mitchell go deep It should not have come down to a late rally … the game is not over … Williams had to pitch yesterday when we almost blew another lead against a terrible opponent Hopefully, Williams can get through the 9th without giving up a run & we win it in walk off fashion … that would be fun
-
Even yesterday’s win was not very fun … having to use Williams to close out the game … there aren’t enough games like the 7-0 win on Sat … almost every game is full of drama … I’m not a fan of the new playoff structure - it keeps bad teams like Milwaukee in the hunt when they could have accepted their plight & called up several prospects to acclimate to the big leagues in preparation for another run next year I understand the appearance of my earlier post - frustration spilling over again … even on a Monday Was hoping we might somehow go on a run & win several games against these horrible opponents - but it’s clear to me that we are as bad as they are & the results prove that fear

*another killer loss

One other comment … I was a college newspaper editor & my undergraduate degree is in journalism I’m quite intentional in how I communicate

Thank you … I’m almost blind … this works better for my poor eyesight

I am a true Brewer Fanatic That said … I hate watching & following this 2022 team I don’t ever remember feeling as much disgust & disappointment with a team as I do this one Every day - I am anxious & hope they don’t do something stupid When they win, I feel relief rather than joy Most days - win or lose - it is unbearable to watch I can’t wait for this season to end I hope they make wholesale changes - trade as many players as possible & restock with young talent I would rather lose for a few years than endure another season like this one I seldom get angry enough to curse - but all it takes is watching this team play poorly for a few innings I can’t be the only one who feels this way The only thing more aggravating than their poor play is the eternal optimists on the board who suggest “hang in there - it’s a long season - we will be fine”

Brewers continue to struggle against horrible opponents Blow up this team Trade big arms for prospects No way this group can win a series in postseason Running into outs at home & squandering opportunities when you are at best mediocre will cause you to lose games to bad teams Several times recently I suggested this disappointing team finishes 81-81 I fear that is an accurate outcome

Josh Hader trade turning into disaster for Padres https://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/josh-hader-struggles-padres-trade/603180

It would be epic if he was non-tendered by SDP … re-signed with Milwaukee … had an incredible start to the season … & was traded at the deadline in 2023 - for a major league bat!

I wonder what percentage of fans are like me in that once a player is traded away or chooses to sign & play elsewhere … I’m no longer a fan … I’m not hoping he fails, but I don’t mind if he does I’m a Brewers fan … I pull for whatever players are currently on our team & for the rare “lifers” who play their entire careers with Milwaukee The most painful departure for me was Molitor in 1992 … that stung for a few years … I was glad when he retired … very similar to how I felt with Favre playing for the Jets & Vikings - hard to watch … especially if he succeeded against my Packers (Favre) or Brewers (Molitor) As for Hader … what a disaster … so glad he’s not still a Brewer … he’s been horrific in San Diego & was bad for the last several outings before he was traded - good timing on that trade for sure I hope Hader & all the Padres play & pitch poorly through the end of the season … otherwise, the Brewers are unlikely to make the playoffs as I don’t see them catching the Cards or the Phils Unlike many others on this forum, I’m not the least bit surprised at Hader’s continued meltdown - I lost all confidence in him in his outing against San Francisco when he gave up 3 HRs & six runs to blow a save while only recording only one out … I’ve never witnessed a worse outing - although today appears to be a close second
-
The Brewers really missed the quality ABs from Jace Peterson He’s a nice addition for a potential September run
-
Mitchell has the quicks
-
Yelich is red hot That could have been his 7th straight hit - including a couple of no doubter HRs
-
For what it’s worth - Sixto Lezcano is one of my all-time favorite Brewers (Top 5) … so at least we have that in common
-
I’m not sure I understand But I don’t mind if you want to say something candid & forthright I’m not a fan of kidney punches I respect people who speak directly rather than sheepishly Yelich has been a major disappointment & has severely underperformed for the past three seasons My post was fairly clear - I hope he gets hot & helps this free-falling team turn their season around
-
It is more desire than statement How is the idea funny? He has three hits tonight
-
If only Yelich could get hot for the final 40 games of the season

I simply don’t understand posts like this one after watching the 2022 Brewers
-
I would guesstimate 10-12 games where our starters have pitched well enough to win with average offense … but all of those are losses because this team underperforms I wish the season ended this weekend I hate watching this team lose or play poorly day after day - especially against such terrible teams as the Cubs, Pirates, & Reds You would hope the next 18 games against opponents with sub .500 records would produce a 14-4 run … I don’t believe this crew can win at that rate - which would be required to get back in the postseason Such a disappointing team & season

Urius needs a week or two in Nashville

What is the logic / thought behind making the change now at 82 pitches? Third time through the order?
