It's good to see the Brewers back in their rightful position atop the league HBP stats. They slipped last season. And they're doing it again without Prince. Keeping my mouth shut for the rest of the night. I know that Mr. Wonder said that when you beleive in things you don't understand then you suffer, but superstition seems to be causing less suffering than the alternative this season.

Let's go Padres! 5GB in range.

Give the way the Pack played today and the Badgers yesterday, a nice 5-1 homestand might fill up the only bandwagon that's left if things are ugly on Thursday and Saturday.

In retrospect, how much has losing Prince hurt?
pebadger replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Prince certainly appears physically like he's settled in with the new contract. I bear no ill will toward the guy. I'd love for him to be a Brewer, but certainly not with that contract, and frankly, probably not even with the offer the Brewers gave him. Hard to say with all the corresponding moves that would have been made/not made in the event of Prince re-signing, but I think the net change given what actually occurred is negligible. -
IN case anybody was wondering, the last time the Brewers were within 1 game of .500 was April 30. The last time they were at .500: April 24.

It's been a bad day, but Ax can make it better. Maybe if we all just stay quiet and hopeful something really good can happen as the Brewers sneak up on people while the media is rightfully fixated on just how awful the Badger offense is.

Trained monkeys and something to do with magnets?
-
Well this is setting up to be either extremely satisfying or extremely disappointing. Stay up with us 'till 0500 to find out which!

That was . . . . unlikely.

Learn a new position, Mat G. Helps to have a RF arm at first I guess.
-
I'm approaching 21 hours without sleep which is quite a feat for me so far removed from college, a nd yet the stark terror induced by the pen has me wide awake. Odd thing is, it gets worse when they lead. Please win this thing, Crew. Soon.

Nice. Good weather decision, STL. Fight through it, Nori.

thanks, late stop sign!

A big deal was made about home/road record split early in the year last year before the big second half push. It ma or may not be worth noting that once again, for whatever reason, the Brewers are among the best in the NL at home and better than only the Cubs and Astros on the road. With all the roadies coming up that is as much a damper on the optmism as anything. ON the other hand, if they do manage to make a push . . . Still, just don't see it happening, if only because so much else has to go wrong for other teams.

Coshun: " . . . you feel OK with an 11-7 lead . . . " That makes one of us.

Being pretty much out of the race does sort of take the worry out of these games from a fan perspective and lets you just have fun watching. This one, through 1.5 innings, appears like it should be entertaining.

Marco Estrada: smoke and mirrors or viable rotation guy?
pebadger replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Most of Marco's number are pretty good. Best K/9 of the starters, second to Fiers in WHIP. Pretty good K/BB. When he keeps the ball in the park he's pretty good. I actually like him better in teh 4/5 slot than I do coming out of the pen. I've always felt he didn't get enough credit for the starts he delivered while the team waited for ZG to heal up at the start of last season. -
This run they're on lately is fun, but honestly it's making me kind of sad. Even with all the flaws this just seems like such a waste of a season.

Have you guys seen this one before? I think I've seen this one before.

Uecker statue to be placed outside of Miller Park
pebadger replied to DocLuna7's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Sort of tangential to the whole thing, and I know that in the context of Bob Uecker it's all part of the schtick, but I always sort of shake my head about anybody being made fun of, regardless of degree, on the basis of their performance in a multi-year MLB career. IT'S AN MLB CAREER!. And Ueck made it at a time when baseball was still king. I think this phenomenon will only get worse as the gulf between people who have actually played a lot of baseball and those who simply watch baseball (or play on XBox/fantasy/etc) grows. That holds not only for baseball but for most sports. The fact of the matter is that the best young baseball player most people know, who might actually be a really good Legion player or even a local kid who gets to play a pretty good level of baseball at a WIAC school, has very slim odds of even denting a Class A roster. And that's true even if you live in a place like California, Florida or Texas. Anyhow, some good laughs from the Ueck event. Glad he got his statue. The highlights of some of the older calls brought back some great memories. I remember exactly where I was when I listened to the end of the Detroit win that sent them on to the first quasi-playoff. Even though TV has become the dominant medium for following the team, it's those memories he created from the days where you simply COULDN'T watch the game anywhere but the ballpark that are the reason Ueck so fully deserves all the honors he's getting. -
This is why we can't have nice things.

I started thinking about the whole "get on a roll" thing and then I did the math. 25-8 down the stretch is still probably less than a 50/50 proposition for getting in. I only wish there as somebody on the schedule that the Brewers would be in position to really hurt with the spoiler role down the stretch. Unless the Nats or Reds really tank, the last really meaningful game the Brewers will play in terms of playoff possibilities is Sept 20 against the Pirates.

I'm not opposed to seeing the Crew post about 11 runs in the late innings again tonight.
