    "Extreme homerism" First of all, this is a Brewers fan site. That stuff does tend to appear from time to time. Second of all, how is simply pointing out the models viewing the Brewers as division favorites extreme homerism? That's as neutral and objective as it gets... Finally, what's also not objective is saying the Cardinals' rotation is underperforming close to the extent the Brewers is, as Wiguy has pointed out to you. That's once again just pro-Cardinals spin.
  2. Brewcrew82
    Yeah. Something is clearly wrong with Winker. Suffice to say, he hasn't recovered from neck surgery. Did they rush him back too soon or is he simply done at the age of 29? Should get the answer to this question by what they do with him after this IL stint and whether he can show any semblance of power on rehab. Ready to see what Toro can bring. An offensive breakout like Owen Miller would be nice. The positional versatility over Winker will also be much appreciated.

    They actually have a good shot at making a deep run with how the bracket is lined up. Could potentially be the first US men's team to ever make a final at a World Cup. Didn't concede a single goal in the group stage. And they ran roughshod over CONCACAF last summer.

    Well, hopefully we can go back to winning now that we're not facing the Giants. My best guess at tonight's lineup: Ruf DH Contreras C Miller 2B Yelich LF Anderson 3B Brosseau 1B Taylor RF Wiemer CF Turang SS Need Houser to keep up the good work with his increased usage of his 4 seamer. And for Tyrone Taylor to take off the independent league hitter disguise he's been wearing since coming off the IL. Would help if Brosseau decided to start hitting lefties again, too.

    Yeah. I don't see how anyone could reasonably draw the conclusion that the Cardinals are better positioned with their SP right now. The evidence just isn't there. ERA isn't a great stat, but despite everything going wrong in their rotation the Brewers are currently 10th in the majors and the Cardinals are 23rd. I think that pretty well encapsulates things. And the upside for the Brewers with Burnes, Peralta, and eventually Woodruff is so much higher. Brewers right now are tentative favorites followed fairly closely by the Cardinals/Cubs, and behind them the Pirates and Reds. A mediocre division for sure. Still the Brewers can't continue their May play and expect to win the division. Thankfully, due to the extent of injuries and underperformance combined with their current position, there's good reason to think that they won't.

    And I take that into account too when I see you swiftly dismiss ERA-, WPA, etc. All the while spinning everything in favor of the Cardinals and against the Brewers despite the Brewers currently being the consensus division favorites by the models. I may not have your quantity of years, but I've lived and died with the Brewers all the same. FWIW, like Wiguy I don't actually question whether you're a Brewers fan....It's just very unusual the lengths you'll go to defend the Cardinals and attack the Brewers sometimes.
  7. Brewcrew82
    Lol. No one is saying the Cardinals are dead. Just that they're not the favorites to win the division at this point and that the Brewers, for all their flaws, are. Which is backed up by the projections. (I don't think anyone is willing to consider the Brewers a shoe-in by any stretch). As Wiguy points out, the Cardinals have factually had less injuries than the Brewers and an easier schedule to this point. Their offense is performing right in line with expectations and yet they've still been mediocre to bad and are 7 games behind the Brewers in the loss column. You consistently going out of your way to qualify these simple facts and twist them in favor of the Cardinals is what's getting others to wonder/joke about your leanings.

    Hitting/underperformance and injuries.... Cardinals have been hitting really well and yet are still barely over .500 on the month due to their SP.
  9. Brewcrew82
    I'm a Brewers homer, obviously, but I'm not sure if I see it from them unless they pull one of those 17 game winning streaks out of their hats. Thing that's preventing them from stringing wins together, though, is that one of their SPs is having a blowup start every couple games or so. Not that I think the Brewers are sure bets to clear 90 wins or anything...I'm honestly just as concerned by the Cubs as I am the Cardinals at this point.
  10. Brewcrew82
    They're known for that.
  11. Brewcrew82
    How is the Cards' SP going to improve, though?? Especially when this is shaping up to be one of the weakest deadlines for starting pitching in recent memory... Brewers are experiencing severe underperformance and injuries across their roster and yet are still clear of the Cardinals by 7 games in the loss column. If the Brewers can get healthy (Urias, Woodruff, Frelick, etc.) and get the positive regression they're seemingly due for (Burnes, Peralta, Adames, Taylor, etc.), I think you have to look at them as the favorites to win this weak division.
  12. Brewcrew82
    Ruf can actually hit lefties. Voit can't.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Ready for the Anderson-Adames-Urias-Miller alignment with Rowdy/Ruf at DH
  14. Brewcrew82
    That would be a mistake. Kid's only 19 and is the future. Last thing we need is to screw with his development.
  15. Brewcrew82
    Do we have any idea why Chourio was removed from the game?
  16. Brewcrew82
    Hate to break it to you, Rock. But Brian Anderson ain't a gold glover as long as Arenado is in the NL...
  17. Brewcrew82
    Brosseau is completely useless.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Something that would only happen to this team...
  19. Brewcrew82
    I wish I could option my memories of watching Tyson Miller pitch last night. This is the move that should’ve been made on Monday. It’ll be nice to have another lefty in the pen.
  20. Brewcrew82
    They actually have the funds remaining for the scoreboard, which needs to be replaced every 10 years like your TV. They don’t for the roof since the 5 county sales tax expired. Hence, why they’re asking the govt, which is the lessor, for the necessary funds.
  21. Brewcrew82
    Thanks CC. You totally punted this game away. Arnold should get the blame too considering we had better options than this guy.
  22. Brewcrew82
    We need Urias. Wiemer and Turang just can't be in the lineup together.
  23. Brewcrew82
    You pitch the worst pitcher in the pen in a 1-0 game CC???
  24. Brewcrew82
    Give me robot umps right now. These guys are so bad at their jobs.
  25. Brewcrew82
    I would pinch-hit for Turang here.
