Positives of this winning streak: Fun to watch, a few players helping their trade value (Lind, Ramirez, Frankie, etc), our players smile from time to time...

 

Negatives of this winning streak: Attanasio might still think we are in it.

 

Go Crew.

I don't see an E next to their name in the standings so yeah, they're still in it.

[TracyThom]

The hottest team in baseball? Your Milwaukee Brewers. 8-2 in their last 10. Still have the 2nd worst record in baseball but we have the Rockies in our sights.

 

If not for anything, the team has been a lot of fun to watch the past couple of weeks.

The Brewers are selling...there is no way around that. It was a done deal over a month ago. Our soon to be free agents will be traded if there are any takers.

[LouisEly]

Attanasio said on the TV broadcast the other week something to the effect of, "We aren't kidding ourselves as to where we are going to finish" and said they will be for the first time labeled "a seller".

[MrTPlush]

Brian Anderson on the nationally televised game? Good

[MrTPlush]

Carlos Gomez leaving gifts for Hamilton. Haha

 

Going to miss Gomez when he is traded. Has a love for the game like no one else.

[1992casey]

The silly thing about arguing the results of a challenge is that you're not addressing the person who made the decision.

[brewcrewdue80]

4min 11secs. How about we fine those NY officials for taking over twice as long to make a decision as supposedly allowed? Mlb should just have a shot clock on the field and it's on the umps to just call play stands when it runs out cutting off the NY officials who haven't made a decision in time.

Brewers are playing some good baseball all the sudden.

 

Ultimately just screwing ourselves out of the top pick.

Ok so we can play like garbage and have all our trade pieces be worthless to get maybe a top 5 pick. Or we could have a hot streak, trade off our pieces for a nice haul, and still end up with a top 10 pick.

 

I am taking option two.

Think about it. Our pieces increase value or at least want for a trade. Remove Parra,Lind, KRod and whomever by end of month. You're reducing the team's ability as a .500 ability and turning to a .470 winning ability. If that. So down the standings they go again.

Gotta really like what Lind and Parra are doing. For a Playoff push, these two have to fit perfect profile for what you want as sparkplugs.

If people want us to play like one of the three worst teams that means Lucroy needs to go back to hitting in the low .200s, Gomez needs to get hurt, pitchers need 5 ERAs. That doesn't seem like it is worth a couple spots in the draft order.

 

Since the team has already decided to sell and has no chance to get back into the race having a hot streak is the best thing that could possibly happen. Actually for once things are going right for the Brewers.

[pacopete4]

I want this team to just keep winning. Screw drafts, screw prospects. WIN!!

[MrTPlush]

Gennett's biggest mistake was not throwing it to 2nd. He could have probably chased down Byrd or at the very least thrown it to Segura at 2nd.

[valpocrewsader]

Why is this game taking 3 hours and 45 minutes?

[LouisEly]

So prophetic

[Yaz]

LOL! Thank you Louis Ely.

 

The Crew is smoking hot right now. Let's keep it going! Only 10 games behind the Cubs. NO PROBLEM!
