For the sake of discussion, let’s say you’re right on Nelson, how many innings could anyone reasonably expect the Brewers to give him in 2019, and for that matter 2020 after barely pitching at all for so long?

No comment from me on 2020. Let’s see what he does in September first. I don’t know anything but the stats, and based on that, he looks to have improved considerably since his last go round.

I read on twitter that we now have given up more runs then we did all of last season. Still over a month to go!

 

Epic fail for Stearns and Hook........

 

Not quite as bad as it appears to be > JUICED BALL!

 

13 out of 15 NL teams. That's pretty bad

To be fair. I agree with brew crew on this. You can’t really go with stat comparisons from last year. There obviously is something up this year

 

But we are close to bottom of the league in runs given up. That’s horrible compared to last year

Yes, that’s bad.

But I think you know what I meant in response to your exactly worded post.

Even worse, the Brewers are now just 3 losses short of last regular season’s loss total. They may be reaching that before Labor Day.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

Brewers v Cards still always has that Crusher v Scrap Iron Kadasky feel from the old wrestling days. Scrap will get a punch or two in of course but the Crusher is just going to come alive at smash old scrap in the end. We will look back on that game 7 loss for a long long time and know that was our shot. Hope the bucks don't meet the same fate this coming season.

Sorta, but 2011 was really more of our shot. We may have objectively had the best MLB team that year. Last year we definitely didn't.

Maybe the brewers will go the entire year without a real hot streak, but, geez, I don’t think so. I’m gonna cling to that thought. At least for a week into September.

 

They'll win a few games in a row at some point, but that's not going to be enough. I just think they're not as good as you think they are.

He’s alluding to the fact that even the worst teams have an 8-9 game streak or 11/12 just from pure blind luck. Health, luck and performing to career norms have not been on our side.

Wonder where we rank in batting average and ops with the base loaded this season?

 

It would surprise le if we weren't in the bottom 10......but their are lots of bad teams so,I could be wrong.

 

You aren’t wrong. 21st in BA and 26th in OPS.

This vintage of the Brewers had their "hot streak" during the season's 1st two months - when they managed to string together a record 10-12 games above 0.500 against a pretty tough opening 8 weeks of a schedule. When the calendar turned to June and many of us looked at the 6 weeks leading up to the AS Break hoping they'd really get on a roll and take command of the division, their pitching imploded and offense went to sleep for extended stretches. It's been a steady decline since, with a few 7-3 stretches mixed in with a bunch of 4-6 stretches. Some of it was injuries, some of it was very questionable MLB roster decisions, but frankly most of it was just the product of the organization not having near the quality depth we had hoped for back in march when looking at the 40 man roster on paper.

 

Could they run into some dumb luck and rattle off 12 out of 15? sure, but just as soon as they'd do it there's an even better chance this roster then goes on to drop 5 of 9 against the Reds, Pirates, and Rockies to close out September and squander any gains they make in the standings anyways.
