2018 Brewers Optimism Thread!

[SomewhereInTime]

We have finally tied the Cubs again in the loss column and have a real, control your own destiny, magic number to win the division again, it is 2! Let's Go!!!!!!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It is September 30, and the Milwaukee Brewers are in 1st Place! Win today, and that's a 95-win season! Even the most optimistic of us didn't see this coming. This team is a legit World Series contender this year, and looks to be for several years to come.

In the season prediction thread, someone predicted a 96 win season and the Brewers in the world series, apparently that poster saw this coming...

I'm Jewish, but with the heroics of Jesus and Christian this year, conversion is under serious consideration.

And the Cubs had to use more of their better bullpen guys - ours got a day off.

 

Hader has had two days off.

Did someone say NL Central Champions with home field throughout the playoffs?

[YelichPosse]

We need to just win 3 more series.

 

If we win 11 of our next 19 we will be champions

[Jimbo]

Not sure which thread to put this, but one thing not mentioned during this last month is that I felt going into this season the Cubs still had what it takes to be the premiere team in the NL for the next three years or so and the Brewers quick re-build was slightly mistimed. I thought Stearns was rebuilding the club just so in the end they would be playing just for the wild card. This month proved me wrong.

 

The time has come today.

[homer]

The time has come today.

 

[bucks2281]

Not that their opinions are worth anything, but a lot of national writers and talking heads are picking us to win the NL Pennant

[Jimbo]

The time has come today.

 

 

That was the very song going through my head today.

Over the last few weeks we have had many improbable things happen (winning the division and the Cardinals player face planting). Some are getting that feeling that it is "our year" and the baseball gods are letting things go our way.

 

We are on a 9 game win streak

 

Mike Moustakas came though last night to keep the streak going

 

10 more wins to win the World Series

 

That would be an 18 game winning streak without a loss

 

Moustakas uniform number...18.

 

It is happening people, heard it here first.

I could get behind this theory.

 

LETS GOOOOOOO!

I wasn't sure where that was going when it started, but I was laughing my ass off by the end

[tigerbrew]

In the season prediction thread, I predicted the team to win 90 games and today the Brewers did it. Also predicted the Brewers in the NLCS, looking forward to that coming true too.

 

My prediction has come true, the Brewers are in the NLCS! What a phenomenal season.

Yeah, a bit of a slow starter but pretty funny by the end.

A great series by the crew. Can’t wait for Friday! What a season!

[NYChez]

Three years ago the Brewers finished 29 games out of 3rd place! What a turnaround!

2018 has a much more confident feel to it than 2008 or 2011. Not that we shouldn't be worried, but personally I don't feel as scared as I did back then. If Thames is starting in the OF, I wouldn't freak.

Today is the Anniversary of Mark Kotsay in CF!

 

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wait, this is supposed to be an optimism thread, not a bad, horrible, worst memories of all time thread.

I am so FREAKING PUMPED for tonight
