2018-07-13: Brewers (Guerra) at Pirates (Kingham) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[TURBO]

Yelish… ???

 

I would think the board's only "REAL" fan would know how to spell his name correctly.

This team is now 19- 19 since June 1st. That is 6 week sample size. To me, they need more to be true contenders but I actually hope they don’t go and buy big at the deadline. A part of me feels we will regret things next year if we part with Hiura, Burnes, Woodruff or Peralta. I say stay the course of the last few years and continue to build for a bigger day next year and have the opportunity of a 3 to 4 year championship run while we still have the likes of Cain, Yelich, Shaw and Aguilar. If the three young pitchers I mentioned all continue to grow and contribute, you then have some elite affordable arm talent to go along with Nelson, Davies, Anderson, Chacin, Guerra and Suter. You could even deal the likes of Thames, Guerra, Anderson and Chacin in the off season to help replenish the lower levels of the Minor league system and look to make another big trade similar to the Yelich deal this past off season with our glut of emerging AA prospects. I bet the Yankees are happy today that they didn’t deal the likes of Judge and Severino in previous years. Just my two cents.

Hosmer is such crap. Hope the Padres enjoy paying for that dumb move for the next 8 years.

So the Cubs are one out away from losing, and Brad Hand hits a batter and gives up a double to Rizzo to tie it.

 

Fast forward to the 10th, Baez gets on via a weak grounder to 3rd, steals 2nd, and scores because of errors on both the catcher and centerfielder.

 

Exactly the sort of thing that happens to the Brewers, because today hasn't been bad enough already.

 

No idea what happens in the bottom of the 10th, I assume the Padres go down feebly, but I'm going to sleep. So long, 1st place.

Give me a break! Lose a couple games and you fair weather fans think the sky is falling. A few are even blaming yelish.

We are fine. There are no overpowering teams in the NL as there is parity. The pirates, the reds.....are good teams and can beat any team. Miami not so good.

 

We will be fine.

 

Know what? I'll give you exactly three guesses to figure out which orifice you can blow your "fair weather fans" BS out of, Mr. "joined in April 2018".

 

I went to my first Brewers game in 1979, when I was seven years old, and have been a diehard Brewers fan ever since. In well over 90% of those years, the team has been mediocre, bad, or excruciatingly bad. In the seasons they were decent, or even great (twice!), they ended up breaking my heart in excruciating fashion. The Milwaukee Brewers are Lucy, and its fans are Charlie Brown. Every year, we get our hopes up. And, every year, Lucy pulls the ball away at the last second, and we end up flat on our backs. We know it's coming, yet we can't help but get invested in a team that inevitably falls flat on its face.

 

I could watch every postseason game the Brewers have played in in my lifetime in a three day weekend, and have time left to go out for diner on Sunday night. That's how bad this franchise has been. They're the Detroit Lions of Major League Baseball without the glory years in the fifties. We've never had "glory years". If Brewers fans want to talk about the glory years of Milwaukee baseball, they have to look at the team in Atlanta that used to play at County Stadium.

 

The vast majority of posters here, myself included, have stuck by this team through thick and thin (the overwhelming majority of which has been thin). We have waited for decades for a great starting pitcher, only to see the few studs we've developed (Teddy Higuera, Ben Sheets) see their careers ended prematurely because of injury. Yet, still, we remain hopeful.

 

So, if some of us want to blow off a little steam when we see the all-too-familiar nose dive begin, we're allowed. And don't you dare question my, or anybody else's loyalty to this team. You're new here, and you don't know me, or anybody else, from Adam.

 

Well said. I took a day off of my senior year in high school to see the first ever Brewers game (a 12-0 loss to the Angels) and have followed and supported the team ever since. Fair weather fan, indeed.

There's a quote from anchorman that comes to mind right now.

With the way we've been playing lately we don't deserve 1st place. We've had plenty of opportunity to put distance between us and the Cubs but in typical Brewers fashion we tend to screw it up. Unless they find a way to actually score points without hitting homers and have more consistent pitching we'll always be a second class club in this division.
