    Whoops

    It’s hard to see the ball in evening games prior to 8 pm in Seattle. Especially for right handed hitters.

    Their bullpen is mostly garbage. 3 out of their 5 starters have missed considerable time. Rodriguez doesn’t start hitting until July. Surprisingly their offense is pretty good.

    I’m not expecting any runs until this goes to the bullpens.

    A 10 pitch fly out against Miz is better than a hit.

    If they make it a dozen and match ‘87 tomorrow I might start believing that they are going all the way.

    I agree that it's a fair question to ask because it's hard to show anything definitive statistically, but that 2018 team was full of vets. I think the shoddy defense in the 2024 wild card round can be at least partially attributed to playoff inexperience. The 2025 Brewers are one of the youngest teams in MLB. I've just seen it too many times where some of these experienced teams coast through the regular season and then suddenly find another gear in the postseason. I think of the Castellanos quote in particular: “A lot of time I have trouble keeping focused everyday 9 innings in the regular season, but with the postseason the baseball’s incredible you don’t have a choice but to be locked in and I think that’s just kinda why I’m playing better.”

    It’s worth remembering that a top-2 record in the NL is kinda equivalent to “winning” a playoff series. Especially given the way the wild card round has cursed us.

    I’m feeling greedy…let’s win 100 this year.

    They climbed the mountain. Now they have to hold onto it
  11. owbc
    Not many shortstops can make that play look routine.
  12. owbc
    Back in the day they were only tormented by Wisconsin during football season.

    Give them an inch and they pounce. It‘s incredible.

    As others have said, I tend to subscribe to the belief that you are what your record is. So the answer to OP's question is yes. Have they gotten lucky? Not really. Their pythagorean record is 58-41, only one game off of their actual record. Do they have as much "on paper" talent as their competition? I would say no. Certainly not compared with LA. But injuries and underperformance is what it is. Do they have the talent to be the #1 team in MLB after 162? I certainly think so and it seems like many here do as well. I agree that you have to add talent at the deadline to keep up with the competition. I don't think they will trade away major league talent even though they are in a rare position of having surplus. If they are going to add and not get into bidding wars, I would add vets who have been on multiple deep postseason runs. That's one area we are lacking relative to some of the teams that we may be going up against in October.

    Yeah true, I'm not giving Woo enough credit. Not much difference between their top 4 overall. Woo is the one that has managed to stay healthy and Castillo tends to get better as the season goes on.

    It was one thing to beat up on a poverty franchise like the Dodgers, but the Mariners are playing good ball right now and have their three best starters going in this series. The key to beating them is getting to their middle relievers, who have struggled and just threw a ton of innings in the last 2 games.
  17. owbc
    We’re clearly better than them right now. Would likely be a deep series if we see them in October.
  18. owbc
    Does anyone know what the rotation order is post-ASB? Hoping to catch Miz in Seattle next week.
  19. owbc
    There are like 10 teams interested in Geno and a team with loaded minor leagues like the Mariners is going to offer a buffet option of top prospects.
  20. owbc
    I know we’re all used to the overachievement by now but I’m still in awe of what I’m witnessing with this team. Long way to go but it’s going to be a fun ride.

    MLB fans: “MLB is terrible at marketing its star players” MLB: makes the hottest young pitcher in the game an all-star MLB fans: “Noooo he’s so undeserving, put my team’s above-average pitcher in instead.”
  22. owbc
    Some teams are slump busters and others kick ‘em while they are down. In the Murph era we are firmly the latter.
  23. owbc
    Instead of criticism it appears Arnold and Co are going to be receiving more hardware for their trophy cabinets. But the players on the field need to shake off the postseason demons or it will continue to feel like this run of regular season success is incomplete.

    Expansion has little to do with fan support. It’s about which cities can put together ownership groups that can afford the $2B fee. Each of the 32 teams will net $125M in free money if they expand to 34. That makes Atlanta and Houston the most obvious targets. NOLA is a bit surprising. Phoenix likely is still on their radar as well but maybe in 5-10 years. I think if the Bucks’ ownership group was interested and could raise capital then Milwaukee could be a contender, but there doesn’t seem to be interest. Kansas City might be better because they have no NBA to compete with.

    Most hyped Pirates/Brewers game of all time?
