I know why Schroeder is out this week, and I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, but where is Anderson?

 

He is doing a nationally televised game on TBS.

 

Oh, yeah, duh. I was thinking it's not basketball season..but forgot that he also does the TBS baseball games.

Guerra leaves a mess in the 5th inning. I just wish the starters would get to the 7th inning on a regular basis. This bullpen isn't the best to say the least and it just makes it worse.

By the time we lose another series in Washington and a 'home' series against the Cubs we should be firmly out of 1st and out of 'buy' mode.

 

Buy mode was semi-interesting when we had a 5.5 game buffer, which still isn't a lot but leaves some wiggle room. We would be insane to buy at this point possibly being caught by the end of the night by a team that is much more talented than we are.

Why is the worst team in all of baseball playing like they're the best in baseball against the Brewers! This is a frustrating series.

 

What are they going to do against the Nationals!

Honestly this team is pretty much exactly who we thought they were. The offense has been decent as expected. Like every other team they've gotten some surprisingly good performances from guys like Shaw and surprisingly bad ones from guys like Villar and Broxton. The rotation has been probably better than expected, overall. The pen has stunk as expected.

 

Talent wise this is about a .500 team which is within reasonable variation of their actual record and better than I would have expected.

 

They are not a legitimate contender regardless of the current standings and IMO Stearns is far too smart to fall into a trap based on the fact that they are technically and mathematically in a pennant race when they have little realistic hope of getting to the playoffs, much less winning once they got there.

 

They have a bright future and need to stick with the plan that has gotten them this far. They're not there yet, and that's ok. Patience is needed.

The past two series have sucked, no doubt. But... to base the decision about this teams chances on just these past two series isn't a great idea either.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I don't base it on just this. They're better than they've played the last week, obviously . But they're not as good as they played the two weeks before the break, either .

 

We didn't come into this season expecting big things . Things have changed a bit, but not to the extent that I think we should realistically be expecting playoff baseball this year .
