Has anyone lost confidence in Stearns
adambr2 replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
While this is good, the goalposts for the playoffs have been moved drastically this year, after already being moved closer twice previously in the last 25 years. That's my only issue comparing Stearns to previous regimes using playoffs as a bar. How about regular season wins as a bar? From 2017-19 the Brewers won 271 games, 2nd most in franchise history behind the 274 they won from 1978-80. Any comparison to our franchises history is a low bar as we have not been a historically successful franchise. I think a more relevant comparison would be how we have fared in comparison to comparable small markets. Which I would still think Stearns is at least on par with, if not better than most. If you're saying Stearns is a solid, above average GM I would agree. If you're saying the organization has better direction and leadership than it did from the early 90s to the mid 2000s, I would of course absolutely agree. I think some criticism of this past offseason is warranted. I think the current arrow direction of the franchise given the state of the farm system is in question. -
Wasn't he 3/4 in OT? 4th quarter I'll give you. I don't think he made a bucket. At the time I typed that he had just made the one bucket in OT. He was money after this, no doubt.

I doubt they are going to have Giannis, and realistically they just aren't winning the next 3 without him. I know they looked better when he went out today, but over the next 3, obviously we need him.

I will say one thing. I was wrong about the pride of this team. I felt certain they had already had their bags packed and were going to go through the motions and go home today. When they fell behind big in the 1st, I was sure that was coming to fruition. When Giannis went out, I thought there was no way they were fighting through this. They still aren't going to win the series, but their pride is in tact.

Aside from that one bucket in OT Middleton has been absolutely atrocious shooting in the 4th and OT.

Hiura has an identical OPS+ to Yelich. Valid, but this doesnt make it any less disappointing. I thought he would make another jump, whereas I thought Yelich might regress 'some'. Hiura came into today with a 112 OPS+ and 11 HRs which would extrapolate to 47 HR over a full season. Some things are still a work in progress with him, after all he just turned 24. But I don't see any way he has been the most disappointing guy in the lineup.

What has happened to you, Yelich?

Hiura has been swinging a much better bat lately, but he's got to start being a guy we can count on in these key scoring situations. He's had a couple of bad ABs in crucial moments the last couple days that have just killed us.
-
Isn't Gyorko away from the team. He was on the bereavement list, but I thought he had returned.
-
I know the whole lineup has struggled, but Arcia batting 5th is just not a good recipe for cashing in scoring opportunities. Is Gyorko hurt?
-
He blew 4 Ball/Strike calls just in the top of the 3rd. That's definitely not easy to do.
-
Again, MLB had the perfect excuse this season to get rid of the traditional homeplate umpire calling balls and strikes and still couldn't figure out a way to do it.
-
Robots please. Please get these incompetent idiots standing behind the catchers out of the game.
-
Been a week or two since a pitcher flirted with a no-hitter against us. Might be due again.
-
Yelich hasn't come even remotely close at any point this season to resembling the player we saw the last 2 years.
-
No. They are both excelling in their current roles. Hader literally last outing just set a record for hitless outings to start a season. He's fine. I'm fine with being more flexible with their roles, Hader for 2-3, Williams closing some games, kind of like how Hader/Jeffress/Knebel were used. But Haders been great. Williams has been great.

Can't afford to give away games you should have won. Especially when you're trying to chase a playoff spot. Brewers again fail to crack .500 with an opportunity to do so.
-
Huira's AB was the killer. Hiura, Braun, Arcia in the 6th...take your pick, they were all killer. Got to drive that run in from 3rd with less than 2 out.

So many blown chances today.
