Good thing Cain is out there...

LOL. You'd walk everyone.

Nah, just guys that are really hot or kill the Brewers (especially with the pitcher coming up).

 

Although most of the league is killing Brewers pitching, so maybe I would walk everyone.

Great thing we have that average defense from Arcia to make up for his bat...

[mtrebs]

Also, the only guys I remember saying I’d walk this season were Goldschmidt (because he’s killing us), Bellinger (regarding the at bat where he hit the game-winning HR against Hader), and now Wong (because he’s killing us this season and there were two outs with a guy on third and the pitcher coming up).

[mtrebs]

I’d walk Yelich too, almost every at bat, if I was any other team.

[xisxisxis]

Grandal has got the 3rd strike looking down pat... maybe he should work on swinging at the third strike...

[adambr2]

That's a strike, Yasmani. Can't sit there and stare at that with 2 strikes and 2 outs and RISP.

Ed Sedar you stink as a 3B coach. Please reassign him to another area of the organization.

 

[sarcasm]Could be a pitching coach spot open soon.[/sarcasm]

[treego14]

Can we trade Shaw for Hiura?

[yfinn6]

PdL has left a lot of pitches up in the zone. You know this team isn't hitting very well when they're missing so many hittable pitches. Aside from Yelich, maybe a few others, it's really been the case all season (so it seems).

[82brewcrew82]

So which divisional foe is going to catch or pass us in the standings tonight? The Cubs?

Yelich with an OPS of about .550 away from Miller Park.

None!

 

The Brewers shall prevail this evening!

No fears ... he will move that up considerably very soon!

[sarcasm]I think you’ve mistaken this for the optimism thread. This is where we all wear hard hats because the sky is clearly falling.[/sarcasm]

To be fair, the sky is kinda falling.

That’s why we have the hard hats!!!

[82brewcrew82]

Looks like they will have to win as the Cubs are doing what we could not.

There is 137 games remaining in the season. It's impossible for the sky to fall this early.

I heard today on the Effectively Wild podcast that the Yankees currently have 13 players on the IL that account for a total of more than 32 WAR from last year. Key injuries in mass are as close to an early season doomsday scenario as I can come up with. BTW, Yankees are 12-10.

Would that be breaking a century's long losing streak to finally win a World Series or did you mean winning tonight....
