  1. Easily. Best starters. Best bullpen.
  2. Absolutely…. Needed his arm. Funny thing, that trade happened today, on August 31, not late July.
  3. Buehler’s ERA is best at 2.07 and has thrown the second most innings. Hard to say he is not the favorite now. Burnes and Woodruff are both right there at #2/3.
  4. Woodruff and Burnes stats…. Tough to decipher who has better now.
  5. If Axford can be added in 2021, so can Braun….. that one allows the nevers to happen.
  6. The NLDS Game 1 and 2 would be on Friday, Oct. 8, and Sat., Oct. 9. To me, this is big for getting to a playoff game. A middle of the week game starting at noon or 3 would be much tougher to get to in Milwaukee than a night game Fri./Sat.
  7. Should be with the team next year unless arby rules change.
  8. Burnes is right there…..a little behind Buehler now. Wheeler’s ERA is about a full point higher than Buehler now, although his innings are high. Woodruff still in it too. His #s are about the exact same as Buehlers.
  9. A possible could be Jaimie Westbrook. As a righty, he hits lefties well (1.1 OPS) and has played a little 3B too. Really nice numbers overall.
  10. It's been raised because it's a concept discussed widely, both here and all over social media. viewtopic.php?f=156&t=38480 Including the Bucks' championship run, the assumption from a lot of people was that what could go wrong would. And in a lot of ways, that was true historically. Our teams have had a terrible string of performing exceptionally well, and finding a way to fall short of the ultimate prize. Perhaps you're not in the same boat, but many of those/us fans root for multiple Wisconsin sports teams, hence an inherent link between most fans of Wisconsin sports teams. But, the continued item at hand here is that you're posting on a Brewers message board where many/most have accepted the fact that the Brewers are almost certainly going to win the division, and not only do you continue to not believe that, you continue to challenge anyone who says otherwise. Again, this is a Brewers message board, and you're challenging actual historical results and statistical probabilities. I don't think you should be terribly surprised that at this point in the season people 1)don't share your view, and 2)are more than a little bewildered at how insistent you continue to be that the division is still a race and the Reds may catch us. In short, that has to either be a indicative of a negative/concerned view of the situation the Brewers are in, or, as you put it, 'stirring the pot.' The latter is obviously more problematic, but no one has said you can't believe the former. Just own it, and don't be so surprised when other people here disagree. You guys are in the same boat. Both are saying it’s probably over. PeavyFury won’t say it’s absolutely over because he knows there is a very small chance that the Reds could catch us. And at no time did BruisedCrew say the Reds will catch us, although others are trying to paint his views that way.
  11. Except it really and truly is, literally based on historical results. You clearly have chosen to believe that the vastly improbable is less improbable than it actually is, which is fine. But that's what I and others were saying weeks ago. Just own it- you have every right to believe 'it's not over until it's over,' but it just means you don't trust the Brewers to finish this out. Which, again as noted, some fans of Wisconsin sports inherently believe based on a long history of near-misses. But, it's over for all intents and purposes. Doesn't mean it can't happen, just means is almost certainly won't. Are we talking over the course of ANY month or just the last month of the season? Over the last month of the season, the results of blowing an 8 game division lead are few and far between. I think jsonline had and article on that recently. However, In the course of a season, it happens far more often. The division leading Cubs lost 10 games on the Brewers from June 24 to July 24. The second WC Padres lost 8 games on the Reds from July 26 to August 26. The Rays gained 8 and a half games on the then division leading Red Sox over the last month. And this is just picking a few teams and doing 10 min. of scanning the standings for this season alone.
  12. Reyes played well today. Big double and a few slightly better than routine plays.
  13. Would like to get a win tomorrow, of course. Even more so, losing 4 straight heading into SF would not be how you want to start a series against best team in baseball.
  14. Since 1900, no team has had more than 2 games of 16+ Ks and 0 BBs in a season. Until now. Brewers doubled the record with 4(per Brewers Twitter). Still August.
  15. Rockies have more home wins than anyone in baseball… record just 58-69.
