    Eh, Anderson has been fine. Good, even. Peralta, Burnes, and Woodruff have been fantastic.
  2. adambr2
    I know last inning wasn't really all his fault, but Anderson is not sharp today. Wouldn't have been a bad idea to take a shot at the lead w/RISP last AB and go to the pen early rather than try to squeeze more out of him.

    The Bucks championship definitely helped with me get over that "hear we go again" feeling with Wisconsin sports. Up until recently I would feel like we are destined to blow it, just based on the "curse" of Wisconsin sports. I realize that's silly, and not a real thing, but after do many heartbreaks the last 10 years it started to feel inevitable. So the Bucks championship is a huge weight off the shoulders in that regard. I think this Brewers team is good enough to win a World Series. I realize that that is an incredibly hard thing to do and if it doesn't happen it's only because there are other teams good enough to win it all too and we'll try again next year. But it sure would be wonderful if it does. At least get there. Or, at worst, don't let us go down to a team like the freaking Dodgers with every possible competitive advantage in the world.

    I certainly hope he does go pitch for the Dodgers. I would like to see the Dodgers fall out of the division race and them acquiring Romano would certainly help.

    Wasn’t it 2011 when the Cards were like 10 back of the playoffs entering September, wound up winning the wild card, beating the Brewers in NLCS, and winning the series? Need to step on those cockroaches while they’re still sputtering Yes, they were 8.5 back in September and caught the Braves, because the Braves went 9-18 in September. If we have a massive collapse like that, there will likely be teams that catch us. If we play even .500 baseball the rest of the way, we should be just fine. For perspective our worst 27 game stretch this season was 10-17, but we were a much different team.

    Poor Daniel Norris is going to be the one guy feeling crummy after a 16-3 win.
  7. adambr2
    I have a lot more confidence in Yelich going back in a positive direction than totally cratering into a Chris Davis. Even for deals that will obviously be bad on the back end, Chris Davis type disaster outcomes are rare.
  8. adambr2
    This may even out Woodruff's run support numbers for the season.

    I'm totally lost as to why legitimate questions/threads/discussion about the Milwaukee Brewers should be suppressed based on the overall performance of the team. That would be a terrible precedent to set. It's so easy for a person to just not participate in discussions that they don't like or aren't interested in.
  10. adambr2
    Yeah that's a good way to describe him. Arcia personality, plus the actual player we all wished Arcia would become.
  11. adambr2
    Will be fun to see Topa get some work today too. Hopefully it goes well. Low pressure score, terrible opponent...
  12. adambr2
    Pineapple says hi to Patrick Wisdom.
  13. adambr2
    Might be able to get Woodruff through 5.
  14. adambr2
    Urias trying to defeat the narrative that his defense only plays at 3rd by also making an error at 3rd.
  15. adambr2
    I'm pretty sure he is trying to throw strikes. Thanks, I thought he was targeting 8 inches off the corner til I saw this.
  16. adambr2
    To answer the question I don't think Yelich will be the next Chris Davis. MVP Yelich is probably gone forever but I think he'll probably settle back in as a 3 to 4 WAR player and maybe more like 1.5 to 2 in his mid 30s as he ages. That's my hope, anyway.
  17. adambr2
    Fortunate we just gave up the 1 run the way things were going. Keep an eye on Woodruff the next couple innings. More runs would never hurt either.
  18. adambr2
    My dude. Throw strikes. You are doing basically the only thing that is going to let these guys back in the game.
  19. adambr2
    Oh Brandon. Can't do that. Hope it doesn't cost him.
  20. adambr2
    Now THIS is a point I can agree with. This discussion probably could have gone in the Yelich/Hiura thread. But to be fair, the Yelich contract was being discussed in a IGT the other day and people were told "this doesn't belong in an IGT, start a thread if you want to talk about the Yelich contract." So, somebody did and now they're told it's unnecessary.
  21. adambr2
    It is BOTH possible to express concern about the individual performance of our highest-paid player AND enjoy the team's success. Correct answer. Just because someone expresses long-term concerns about Christian Yelich doesn't mean they're not enjoying the team ride of 2021. Just because someone expresses disappointment that the Bucks didn't re-sign PJ Tucker doesn't mean they weren't excited about the championship. Conversely, just because we were rebuilding in 2015 and 2016 didn't mean that there weren't fun and exciting things to discuss. A team enjoying a positive season does not mean only positive aspects of the season can be discussed, and vice-versa. On that note, if you had asked me before the season where we would be in the division on August 12th if Christian Yelich had 6 homeruns and a .717 OPS and Keston Hiura had a negative 1 WAR and was back in Nashville, I would have said 3rd place at the absolute best. If you had told me 23 games over. 500 and an 8 game lead in the Central I would have assumed you had completely lost your marbles.

    Did any casual fans who come to the ballpark because of Christian Yelich know who Christian Yelich was when we acquired him? No, I doubt it. He was just some good player who played for the Marlins. He became a face of the brand because of his performance. He isn't even a great natural face because he doesn't really have a fitting personality for it. He isn't a vocal clubhouse guy or extroverted personality. Braun was. So is Adames. I get that the "face of the franchise" has some intangible value to it but the Brewers have come a long ways since the early 2000s about building their brand without the need for name recognition. If Yelich was gone tomorrow someone would fill the void and the wheels would keep turning.
  23. adambr2
    Interesting. Could be a great find. The Brewers FO has done quite well in the Stearns era finding diamonds in the rough with relievers-- most recently Feyereisen and Cousins...here's hoping Topa can be the next.
  24. adambr2
    Given what the Sox gave up for Kimbrel (a lot), I'm curious what we had on the table for him.
  25. adambr2
    Except that every fastball Black throws is straight as an arrow, and his command of his secondary stuff sucks. Topa has crazy movement on his off-speed stuff to go with that 98 mph heater. 8 innings in the weird pandemic year is pretty much the definition of a small sample, but I don't think anyone is expecting him to come in and supplant Williams, either. So how is he 30 years old with 8+ years in professional baseball with this amazing movement and stuff and barely ever a shot to play in the big leagues? Not trying to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. These are legitimate questions.
