  1. Two teams enter, one must win. The Brewers are on a too-long losing streak and the Pirates were just swept by the Cubs. I thought this division was clearly better than the AL Central but now I'm not so sure. Both of these divisions continue to defy already-low expectations and keep getting worse. The Crew needs to get back on track here, the division is ripe for the taking and every team refuses to grab the opportunity to run away with this thing.
  2. Floyd is having a pretty nice season but he's a 25 year old in A+. And if I trust anything about the Brewers, it's the ability to evaluate their own pitching. This will likely amount to nothing.
  3. Do you happen to know which ad is doing it? Who is advertising in the ad?
  4. Those last two defensive plays track with how this team has played the past few weeks. Point gun at foot, pull trigger repeatedly.
  5. Looks like the not-good version of Ober is on the mound today, kind of a rarity.
  6. You left out the part where we're all mourning Willy Adames because he was decapitated by a broken bat from Elly De La Cruz. Weirdly, the Brewers won't even be playing the Reds when it happens.
  7. After last night's late-inning loss, the Brewers face an uphill battle today. Bailey Ober is deceptively good, as his giant frame allows for a release point that belies his relative lack of velocity. I'll be at Target Field today, properly dressed in a Twins hat and Brewers shirt just to confuse the hell out of everyone.
  8. Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! It's an interesting situation, no doubt. I was convinced Counsell was gone already but just a few weeks ago, the Twins announced they had extended Baldelli... last year. Now, I don't think that's the situation in Milwaukee, as Counsell is more integral to the team (IMO anyway) than Baldelli is in Minnesota. But it's an interesting thing to note.
  9. Yeah, that’s not really fair to Yeli. He’s been quite good this season.
  10. I checked out of the game at 5-3 and... what the hell happened last night? The Twins scored runs after the sixth inning? They scored more than five runs? And Yelich went into beast mode? Is this 2019?
  11. It's been a small dose of bad luck for Lopez but he's also had the tendency to make bad pitches in critical situations, which can look a lot like bad luck on a stat line. This is a battle of two strangely inconsistent but very good (in the case of Burnes, great) pitchers. I don't know what to expect.
  12. This season is turning into a sequel of 2022 and it's a sequel I don't care to experience. Both the Brewers and Twins started the season quite strongly, jumped out into first place, and are once again back on their heels in June. These are two struggling teams that aren't playing compelling baseball, yet remain in the thick of divisional races due to the ineptitude of everyone around them. May the least-bad team win!
  13. Mostly just ask permission, we say yes most of the time as long as it's Brewers-related.
  14. The user asked if it was okay to post this, btw, it’s not spam.
  15. It's not embarrassing to lose to the A's. But it is slightly embarrassing to lose the first game of the series, putting yourself in the position where you have to win the next two games so you don't actually lose a series against the A's, which would be quite embarrassing. Come on, have to take care of the low-hanging fruit and notch wins against the bad teams.
  16. Okay, time to feast on the worst team in baseball. Get back on track after yesterday's stumbling.
  17. Hey, sometimes I'm wrong. I didn't expect the Brewers to lay down and die.
  18. I know they’re a perpetual pain in the ass. I just don’t think this is the same team and the black magic will end at some point.
  19. 1. Teheran, bless his heart, is not a good pitcher. He has bad velo, bad spin, doesn't miss bats. Maybe the Brewers keep him around for a few turns just to avoid losing him in case of re-injury but he's not an actual solution. 2. I know it's unpopular around here but I've basically written off the Cardinals. They're reeling again and are 11 games under .500. They'd have to play at a 100 win pace through the end of the season just to get enough wins to compete for the postseason (my threshold for that is 87-ish wins). I thought the Cubs would be better than they have been, they're basically out of it. The Reds have shown flashes of competency but I don't find them threatening... maybe if Elly absolutely goes off, that changes my mind a bit. That leaves the Pirates. I don't really believe in them but they just keep hanging around. That makes them the biggest threat by default.
  20. Well, that was a nice clean win last night that sets up the bullpen for a Rea start today. Also, how about that Joey Wiemer?
  21. I see people on Twitter gnashing their teeth over the Brewers' pythag. I view their pythag as a good thing. They're the walking dead out there and playing over their heads. Those wins are banked. And hopefully, in a month when they have something more resembling a healthy roster, they can start winning more cleanly.
  22. Okay, one extra innings win down, grab the series win tonight.
  23. Spending money and behaving like the Mets are two wildly different things. And most of the offseason, I wanted the Brewers to pursue extensions, not blow the budget wide open. Had the Orioles even pursued a Rutschman extension, there wouldn't be much to complain about. Had they actually tried to improve the short-term product, even better. Baltimore's payroll is under $67m in 2023. You don't think they had... oh, I don't know... like $30m to spend? That still puts them a whopping $40m under the Brewers. An additional $30m only puts them at the 22nd payroll in MLB. It's pretty hard to look at the Orioles right now and say "it was too early to spend". It very obviously was not too early to spend.
  24. That's not even close to what I said or even implied.
