Just an easy way to second-guess CC Who was second guessing? People were saying well before Grisham grounded out that it sucked not to have RH options.

That ought to do it today.

No, not really. Not having a bench righty to use against lefty pitching is a definite disadvantage. Grisham was one of the better options, but the problem is there just aren't any good options there.

I probably would have went with Perez, but a .721 season and. 734 career OPS vs. LHP is not raking.

How many times this year have we had to go with an unfavorable L/L matchup as our first PH off the bench in really key situations because we went overboard in our desire for lefty bats?

Why should it be bases loaded? Moose shouldve been rung up. Yeah I missed that. I had been following Grandal's AB on Gameday and just saw Moose walked. It's a wash then.

Should be based loaded nobody out, tying run up. These guys in blue are changing games with their incompetence.

Dear God I hate MLB umpires.

How Davies has an ERA under 4 is a mathematical mystery to me. It seems like hes getting shelled every outing.

Yes, but if they can't, Stearns goes back to the hot seat and Yelich and Hader to the trade block.

Getting the strand party started early.

The Cardinals have been playing really good ball too. 92, your post(s) kind of illustrate what a lot of us have been saying. Everything is either a manic high or a manic low for you. I'm not judging, I used to be the same way, probably still am to a point, but realize that the truth is almost always somewhere in the middle. In February, you said Stearns had built the greatest 40 man roster in baseball and a team superior to even the Dodgers. Less than a week ago, you wanted Stearns fired. Now after a simple 3 game winning streak, you are proclaiming us division champions and anticipating a 24-11 finish. Along the way, you've predicted greatness for Burnes, Grisham, and others. You've anointed guys as aces who aren't even major league options right now. Realize that if we were confident that Ray Black and Corbin Burnes and other guys like that were going to be lights out options in September, they'd be doing it as Brewers right now. We don't have a good enough pen to be currently blocking lights out, unhittable options. Realize that even promising young players don't always automatically turn out to be Christian Yelich or Max Scherzer. These guys are so rare, but you seem to see it in every young hitter with a sweet swing, or every pitcher who can hit triple digits or otherwise has good stuff. I like Hiura, and I like Grisham. I like what I see out of Jay Jackson lately, and I like what I see out of Devin Williams. But I understand that a lot of us liked what we saw out of Jacob Barnes at one time. I understand that Ryan Braun proclaimed Taylor Williams as having the best stuff of any pitcher in our system at one time. I like what I see out of the rotation lately. But I also understand that anyone in this rotation could bomb their next start, we could see a few in a row anytime, and here we are discussing how bad the pitching is again. I also understand that even if it does happen, it doesn't mean that David Stearns needs to be replaced, or even that the season is over. We have about 35 games left, and it will almost inevitably contain another 3 game losing streak somewhere in there, and another 3 game winning streak. I know you're a true Brewer fan, but fanhood seems to be a wild roller coaster ride for you.

Not really. It's just the ebbs and flows of the season. I mean I obviously hope they are about to turn a corner but I don't know what makes this 3 game winning streak different from the 8 other streaks of 3 or more wins they've had this year.

Well the 28 man limitation does not begin until next season. It is still all hands on deck up to 40 if desired this year. So probably all of the above plus others.

Things are happening down below that’s getting me excited Yikes.

Braun is going to get a lot of maintenance days, he just is. He's still going to have his most starts since 2016. Maybe there is a reason he's been healthy and productive this year and maybe pushing the envelope more on it would endanger both those things. Im 100% ok with the amount of time off Braun is getting. Yeah, I figured that. Was just adding to your point.

I don't think I've ever seen a team that hated scoring as much as they liked getting on base. Typically the two go hand in hand.
