    Any thoughts about using the surplus of OFs in a trade for something they need?

    The Brewers batting average has surpassed the White Sox winning percentage.by .0004.
  3. formerlybis
    I knew the White Sox weren't doing very well, but holy schnikes, they're 15-42, a .263 winning percentage, That's barely better than the Brewers' batting average.

    There's such a long way to go, but it feels like a large psychological difference - for both teams - between a 5.5 and a 3.5 game lead/deficit.

    Done - sorry for clogging the IGT

    For those who follow this closer, with Mitchell close to being available, how does the club/Murphy see the outfield in the short/medium term? Perkins seems like more of a known commodity at this point, and he's useful. Mitchell has had bad injury luck, but I'm not sure I would mess with what seems to be working. You could play them both (I think), but that would likely come at Chourio's expense (I won't beat that dead horse). Maybe DH Yelich a little more? I'm curious what others think. (following the suggestion of the moderator to start a new thread rather than discuss it in the IGT)

    We'll throw confetti...?

    It is the nature of fandom to have a complete change of attitude before and after an 8th-inning two-out pinch-hit go-ahead-from-behind homer from a guy batting .189... I am that guy.

    Granted it was really a no-pressure save for Megill today (and the first of his career 103 games in), but I kinda like him as the regular closer-for-now. The numbers guys will probably tell me it's a bad idea - I'm basing this on my lower nervousness level when he's out there...

    I've got the Pirates feed on MLB.TV - Sanchez was his catcher when together for NYY. He had never faced him as a hitter. Still doesn't really explain the smile, but they do know each other, apparently.

    I’m a compartmentalizer. It is possible to do a fist-pumping YES when the last out was recorded today and the sweep over a rival, and at the same time have some doubts about the long-term sustainability of their success. Great first eighth of the season - but not even the wildest optimist thinks they’ll play .700 ball forever.

    Cards had 12 LOB on Friday and 10 today. That's 22 LOB and 1 run scored.
  14. formerlybis
    That was largely built on a few blowouts. 9 of the 20 games they've scored 3 or less. Throwing out yesterday's explosion, the Brewers had scored a total of 5 runs in the last three games and gone 3-0 (1-0 against SD on Wed, 2-1 Fri and 2-0 today). Also, they're getting almost 2 hits and 1.4 runs per game better than 2023. Is that sustainable? Hope so, but I'll expect some regression.

    I watch a lot of soccer, and it's a regular occurrence that the team with more high-priced talent creates a lot of chances, but (in an individual contest) fails to convert and ends up losing to the opportunistic side. I know this happens in hockey, too, The Brewers were the opportunists today, but over the course of a season, it's better to be the first team. They actually have been for a lot of games, but it has a mirage feel, at least to me, Would love to be wrong

    This has probably been discussed here in previous threads, but here goes. For most of the last few years, the Brewers just had to get the lead going into the 7th and then rely on a dominant back-end bullpen to bring home the W. At least for now, I wonder if the injury to Williams creates a greater sense of urgency to get more comfortable leads. It's a mentality thing.

    Good game for everyone to practice bunting….

    I just noticed that the Cards have a player named Richie Palacios. He really should call himself Enrico and we'd all smile....

    Still only a two-possession game….oh, wait
  21. formerlybis
    Ok - we get foie gras again... I doubt anyone would do this, but I'd be tempted to counter the opener strategy by pitting my 7-8-9 hitters at the top of the order and just move 1-6 down 3 spots.

    We should be rooting for this last WC race to go down to the last game - in that scenario, whoever gets in will lean heavily on their aces just to get in, and we'll be facing the back end of the rotation for at least game one.

    For what it's worth, I think winning any game in Miami clinches a playoff spot.

    I'm more wishful that Taylor would have been in the lineup.... I guess you've got some nice PH possibilities today.
