[adambr2]

No, you didn't. You're statement was that you ALWAYS play to win the game in front of you. My point was that, no, you don't always play to win the game in front of you. My point was never that you NEVER play to win the game in front of you which is what you're trying to pigeon hole me into. Big difference.

 

No. Please don't put words in my mouth. That doesn't even make any sense. I was trying to say that you were saying that you NEVER play to win the game in front of you? Come on. That's a poor assumption. I said "continually" simply in response to your use of the same word.

[adambr2]

Well you've got the guy you want coming up...

No, but OK.

[82brewcrew82]

That was strike three

[yfinn6]

That 0-2 to Yelich was a strike. Home plate ump must have a crush on him.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know what I was saying.

[82brewcrew82]

That was strange

[yfinn6]

Couns trying to get tossed.

[82brewcrew82]

Ok. Thanks for letting me know what I was saying.

[adambr2]

Good to see the 3B umpire has his own little personal assistant in Freese.

[Eye Black]

Such a bizarre moment. Not sure I’ve ever seen a player get a call reversed by pointing to the spot the ball hit.

[PinaMadness]

Will Aguilar get the Barry Bonds treatment and get walked intentionally with the bases loaded?

[82brewcrew82]

Such a bizarre moment. Not sure I’ve ever seen a player get a call reversed by pointing to the spot the ball hit.

I would think that once you call it fair you shouldn't be able to change it mid-stream. That is what replay is for.

[YelichPosse]

LETS GO!

[jason21nl]

Crap

[YelichPosse]

Son of a bsbshheysshhshs

[82brewcrew82]

Well, made them burn through their back end bullpen arms at least.

[adambr2]

That was anticlimactic.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, making them use Vazquez is a victory of sorts.

[yfinn6]

Glass half full, they didn't mail it in at the end.

[young guns]

Well, I was fully expecting the grand slam from Jesus there. So anticlimatic.

[SomewhereInTime]

Fitting way to end a rally of lucky nine hoppers.

[wibadgers23]

Man what a difference a few days make. I was pumped up and feeling really good after the Braves series but it's a been a little bit of a disaster ever since. Like somebody said earlier in the thread, I think the guys are just laboring a bit and the all-star break can't come soon enough.

[mtrebs]

 

I agree with this, but it seems like he Brewers tend to pass on the more-easily winnable races that could pad their lead. They need like a 15 game lead to hold onto it, assuming they will be entering their standard mid-summer swoon.

They have the best record in the league, the can't have passed on that many.

 

The thing is though, is that I know that I've thought about this in at least a half dozen losses that were winnable this year. The best record in the league is great, but it's the 1.0 game lead over the Cubs that concerns me. If the Brewers didn't waste those half dozen opportunities we'd be sitting in a much better position with more than a 5.0 game lead.

[Chicago Here]

Now that we can’t beat the bad teams, maybe we’ll be able to beat the Cubs.

We only have 3 quality starters. Maybe peralta can become a 4th quality guy but prolly not for another season.

Just outgunned today with miley and houser. Pittsburgh isnt a bad team and we knew we would need at least 5 runs today. Fell short but we have Gurrea, Chacin, and Anderson pitching the next 3 with a fresh bullpen. Should be fine.
