He picked a really bad situation to be guessing.
-
Yeah, you don't take that pitch with the bases juiced and 2 strikes, big guy.
-
This is why I never buy into any Arcia type "breakout." He has never not reverted back to who he is.
-
Being within a game of .500 this late in the season and in a playoff spot with Yelich, Braun and Narvaez all under the Mendoza line is nothing short of remarkable.

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. OK that's fair. They're still a game below .500 with their two best hitters producing way, way, under expectations. For sure. I don't know how they've done it. You look down that entire lineup, you can't find a guy other than maybe Gyorko who is hitting expectations. Even Arcia is back down to hovering right around his career averages. I don't know where they'd be without Corbin Burnes, because it isn't like any other starter has been all that great. Shows how much an elite bullpen can be worth. Having Williams and Hader locking down games has been enormous. -
Has anyone lost confidence in Stearns
adambr2 replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd like to point out that it's important to judge a GM not just by what they did but what they didn't do. It would have been justifiable to sign Alex Cobb a couple years ago for this rotation, but it would obviously have been a big and expensive mistake. Most of Stearns' "mistakes" have been relatively harmless and inexpensive. It's hard for me to go back and find a deal that Stearns made and think "Wow, that really hurt us." Think of how easy it would have been to trade Corbin Burnes for a Manny Machado rental at the '18 deadline like the Orioles wanted. Now Corbin is emerging into an ace and Manny would have been lost in free agency anyway. Of course, I can't predict what would have happened the other way. It's not impossible that acquiring Machado at the '18 deadline for Burnes puts us into the World Series instead of the Dodgers. -

Great to see Andy Haines finally found a way to get these guys to hit. Here's hoping he shows up to the park in a bad mood again.
-
I am really happy for Burnes. We always knew he had this. Too many pitchers have a bad early stretch in their career, lose their confidence and never recover.
-
This team hasn't had its mind on winning a championship ever since it set foot in Orlando. I'm not saying a word about whether that is wrong or right but obviously Miami has been focused on basketball.
-
Your entire season on the line and you get outscored by 19 in the 4th quarter. This team is an absolute embarrassment.
-
I think it is probably ok to call this must-win.
-
He’ll have reached Russell Branyan-level legend status by this time next week. A bit of an off topic observation, but Russell the Muscle was about 15 years ahead of his time. Everyone looked at his strikeouts and low batting average and scoffed but he got on base and hit homeruns, everything everyone wants these days. I think most of bfan.net appreciated him for it in his time, even if the casual fan didn't.
-
By the way, it was a foul, but we all know damn well that LeBron gets the whistle swallowed on that 100 times out of 100.
-
Maybe they'll figure it out and do what Toronto did to us when we went up 2-0 last year. I dunno. I really doubt it, though. A lot of it is Miami, they are just really clicking now, they haven't lost in the playoffs. More devastating long-term, I really do think this is the beginning of the end for Giannis in Milwaukee if they can't even get out of Round 2. If he won't sign the supermax after the season, you can kiss him goodbye. Then they have to decide whether to trade him or try to make one last run in 2021.
-
This is going to hurt even more when Giannis ends up in a Heat jersey in 2022.
-
I think they're done. I'd be less surprised if they get swept than if they come back and win the series.
-
This team is toast, folks. From 70 win talk to not making it out of Round 2.
-
And Giannis misses both free throws at the worst possible time.
-
Good God, get Houser out of the rotation already.
-
The Heat were begging the Bucks to get back in the game the Bucks can't get out of their own way.
-
Absolutely brutal swing. Olynyk drills the 3 and Middleton turns it over again.
-
If the Bucks thought Marvin Williams was a guy that would be an X-factor for them in the playoffs, they were very, very wrong.
-
Yeah at least they didn't let the game get away from them, but they have some work to do. They need this game.
-
I don't know if the Bucks know it yet but they are in serious trouble if they can't rally.
