    Yelich went 1-3 with a BB on Sunday. The team had 6 hits total. He wasn't the problem. There's no way around the reality that Yelich is a major problem on this team as constructed and as it looks now, will continue to be one. We have a bad slap singles hitter making 30 million a year. If he had regressed to Marlins level, we'd probably be OK and at least a semi-watchable offense. Yeah ...if we had expected to be pleased with Yelich for 1 for 3 with a single and a BB outings, we sure as hell wouldn't have paid him $200M. It's a bit troubling that Yelich has gotten so bad where those days from him can even be referred to as "not the problem". He's fallen so far.

    I think getting shut out for a 2nd game in a row is much more likely than winning this game.

    You really think we're scoring 4 runs in the remainder of this game? They really don't have a choice but to punt for tomorrow and it'll be all hands on deck for Games 4 and 5. They're not winning this game now. I think the chances of scoring 4 runs in 5 innings is just as good as winning two games in a row against the Braves, yes. Two wins is not implausible. If they can steal tomorrow they'll have Burnes going at home in Game 5. They've scored 2 runs this entire series. The idea that they're going to triple that in the next 4 innings seems a lot more implausible to me.

    I doubt this series makes it back to Milwaukee. Braves have just looked like the better baseball team all series. It doesn't matter how good your starting pitching is if you're scoring less than 2 runs per game, you're not going to win in October.

    Ballgame. So much for our guys after our big 3 being better than Ian Anderson.
  7. adambr2
    Braves fans not sounding too quiet now.

    The baseball Gods making Counsell pay dearly for his poor managing.
  9. adambr2
    They had second and third with nobody out when they've been scoring nothing and they came up completely empty. There is no silver lining. They could just as easily go down 1-2-3 next inning.
  10. adambr2
    So you sacrificed your starter who was dealing after 4 innings and still got jack out of it. Great job, Counsell. Great job, Brewers offense.

    We're going to screw this up, aren't we?
  12. adambr2
    Please score.
  13. adambr2
    No, definitely dropped, unfortunately. Tough play but I hope him catching it doesn't come back to bite us.
  14. adambr2
    Ian Anderson is nothing special and we should be able to get to him, I'm told. Maybe in the 5th?
  15. adambr2
    I'm becoming a lot more content with the reality that Garcia is going to decline his option. What a terrible at-bat.

    How dare someone have different expectations for a guy with a $200mil contract that incredibly limits how much money we have to fill other positions on the team. Brewer fans keep using this line as an excuse, and it is complete and utter ********. resources are whatever Attanasio decides to spend. If he wanted to spend $200 million on payroll for a year he could. He just chooses not to...that is NOT the same thing as having limited resources. If I wanted to go cash out my 401K and spend it all on drugs I could. I just choose not to. My God man. Understand that just because someone has the resources for something doesn't mean doing it is actually a realistic allocation of resources.

    Wow what a horrible baserunning mistake by the Braves.
  18. adambr2
    My God. They DID think they were buying a big bat. This was supposed to be Christian Yelich and this was explained yesterday. You say "who cares" to how much money Yelich makes like its just an unlimited resource we have to throw around. The amount of criticism Yelich is taking (and why he's taking more than the others) is DIRECTLY proportionate to his salary. The unintended irony in your post is that the guy you are defending is THE EXACT REASON we don't have money to spend on other "big bats".
  19. adambr2
    I would feel sorry for Christian Yelich for how much he sucks if I wasn't so damn mad at him for how much he sucks.

    Looks like we've got a good series going. Thanks for the complimentary words. I wish I could say good luck .....but that'll have to wait for now.

    My assumption on kickers would be that suddenly missing numerous kicks to one side would be attributed to a mechanical problem that day, whereas missing randomly would be indicative of a mental problem. Weather obviously wasn't a factor. I could be wrong but it feels like all of Mason's "yip" days in his career came in games that were either in a dome or played with almost no weather factor.
  22. adambr2
    I know you're kidding buuuut I guarantee McPherson doesn't feel great about his job security today compared to yesterday. He's a rookie. It doesn't take a lot of rookie struggles for a team to just go find another kicker. Roberto Aguayo was a talented enough kicker for a team to spend a 2nd round pick on him and yet once he started struggling it pretty much immediately killed his career before it started. As yesterday showed though, even trusted veteran kickers are not immune to bad days of missing multiple clutch kicks. And conversely, just because you're an unproven kicker doesn't mean you can't be trusted with a clutch kick. With that said, they'll stand by McPherson -- for now. He's made some clutch kicks this season, so he's already shown he can do that. But if he had one more game like yesterday, I can guarantee you three would at least be discussion of moving on. Such is the life of an NFL kicker with little professional track record. Now, Crosby's track record will and should buy him a pass. It would take another day like yesterday before he'd really start turning heads, and probably a 3rd day like it before they would really consider moving on. Track record and a patient team are two very important things to the longevity of an NFL kicker. If you don't have either you had better get over your yips very quickly if you get them. Tough job. You can't have too many bad days at the office.

    4th time is a charm. As frustrated as I have been with Mason today, I'm glad he finally got to redeem himself.
  24. adambr2
    Well, for as bad of a day at the office as that was, Crosby is going to sleep well now tonight. Nice kick.

    Never had any doubt that Rodgers wasn't going up to the line to do anything but bark.
