    He won a Cy Young with the same routine... It's execution/location of his pitches. That's the entirety of the problem.
  2. Brewcrew82
    They're not just going to bring him up without anymore AAA at-bats...
  3. Brewcrew82
    Seems to be the case with most hitters once the longer they are Brewers.
  4. Brewcrew82
    Goldschmidt and Arenado are also playing significantly below the level of their career years from last season. Who could have seen that coming with those two being in their early to mid 30s...
  5. Brewcrew82
    Defense and base-running matter
  6. Brewcrew82
    Yep. The back-end of the Brewers bullpen has been largely responsible for torpedoing the Brewers' run differential.
  7. Brewcrew82
    Except it's not a matter of "when" anymore, it's become a matter of "if". Other teams in the NL Central have had and will have good months, too. They have a deficit to make up right now that leaves them out of the playoffs 9 times out of 10. Is it possible? Sure. Is it among the likeliest scenarios right now? No.
  8. Brewcrew82
    11% is still 11%. Doesn't happen 9 times out of 10... They've been a bad team right from opening day. They have some good hitters, obviously, but there is absolutely nothing in their run-prevention profile to suggest that a run is probable at this point.

    Brewers played really good baseball in March/April when they were actually healthy. Injuries and underperformance have definitely caught up with us since, but we still have an 8.5 game advantage and are finally getting some guys back while Corbin Burnes is beginning to pitch like Corbin Burnes and Yelich is looking more like Yelich, etc. 8.5 games and below 3 teams is a lot, even in June. Why they currently have an 11% chance of making the playoffs. It's also worth remembering that they have less games against the NL Central to make up that deficit this year... I'm not counting the Cardinals out by any stretch. I'm just not that worried about them right now because they've been a bad team from opening day.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Okay. But 11% is still 11%. Doesn't happen 9 times out of 10....What happened in 2011 is irrelevant.
  11. Brewcrew82
    Right. Which is why you can't count them out completely. But that's still 8.5 games and three teams separating them and the Brewers. Cardinals need to actually start playing good baseball at some point and for a lengthy stretch. They haven't shown any signs of being able to do that thus far.
  12. Brewcrew82
    At the same time, the 2011 team was never below .500 after mid-April. The current team is 14 games below .500 with a negative run differential in the double digits. Different years, different teams, different threats.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Except no one here is writing off the Cardinals. We're just saying that it's highly improbable at this point, and that there are bigger worries.
  14. Brewcrew82
    Context is key my friend. In baseball as in life. Can we count the Cardinals out completely? No. Should we be worried about them right now? Also, no.
  15. Brewcrew82
    They also have to jump a lot more teams now than they did then due to their position in the standings...And they're currently 14 games below .500. The 2011 team never crept below .500 after mid-April. That Cardinals team was solid for most of the season and got insanely hot at the end. This Cardinals team isn't good and has shown no signs that they're going to have the sort of hot stretch they need to propel themselves into playoff contention. Can we count them out? no Should we be worried about them right now? Also, no.
  16. Brewcrew82
    Or come to terms with the reality that a trade is never happening, and that he's a Brewer for the duration of his contract For a trade to happen, you'd have to package Woodruff/Burnes with him AND have Yelich waive his NTC. Brewers aren't offering that. And Yelich has little incentive to waive his NTC. He's hitting at an all-star level again and helping us win ballgames. Best to sit back and appreciate it.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Yelich has a full no-trade clause. He isn't getting traded.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Those Cardinals weren't in nearly as bad a position in the standings or pitching/defense-wise as the current iteration...
  19. Brewcrew82
    Yelich has just matched his fWAR (2.2) from last year in less than half the games played. Not even halfway into the season, Yelich is worth as much as he has been since 2019…
  20. Brewcrew82
    You gotta exercise patience, man. The guy was just activated off the IL last week after playing in 1 total game before that. Way too early to think about anything. I believe someone did answer your question about options. Urias does have option(s) remaining , whereas Adames likely has surpassed the veteran threshold.
  21. Brewcrew82
    Yelich might be our all-star this year..
  22. Brewcrew82
    Winker was key today too with his RBI single and his 2BBs, one of which started the 8th inning rally. Another player people have been wanting to ship out of town.
  23. Brewcrew82
    True. I’m just saying we should be looking at the 112 and 110 wRC+ he’s produced the past two years and not his mere 35 PAs this year.
  24. Brewcrew82
    No. Because 1) he has a track record, so you let him figure it out AND 2) we don’t have any better options to replace him
  25. Brewcrew82
    Wasn’t referring to your comment. There were others that said they wished he had been traded or wondering whether he still had minor league options.
