2021 Brewers Optimism Thread

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Yelich left center homers are a thing of beauty. Just getting it back for the big games!

[pacopete4]

I find it hilarious that it took the Cardinals to go on a historic 15 game winning streak just you get to 7 games back of the Brewers in the division.

 

One more W!

0. Nuff said! There's no doubt we've got what it takes to go all the way

[DuWayne Steurer]

division odds now 100%

We have a winning record against the NL East. Bring it Philly/ATL!!

I've been a Brewers fan since the mid 70s. I've seen a lot of meaningless September Brewers baseball. This final week of games will be some of the most enjoyable meaningless September Brewer games I have ever watched.

For a reminder of how much things can change after a few days off, the Brewers lost 6 of 8 heading into the All Star Break this year, and then started off the second half of the season with a sweep on the road of a [at the time] red hot Reds team.

So you're saying they flipped the switch after the ASB?

I am a bit concerned going into game 1

I love this thread and I love this team. Brewers are taking down those Braves in the NLDS.

Optimism thread, dude. Literally every other thread is full of like-minded concerns. Please kindly leave your "concerns" at the door in this one.

If I'm staring down the barrel of Woody, Burnes and Peralta, I know I'm nervous.

In my lifetime ( I am 42) this is by FAR the most confident I have gone into a post season. I actually feel we have a chance to win a world series. Other years I was happy to make the playoffs but I knew we needed a TON to go right to even have a chance. This year I thnk with our pitching we can line up with anyone and have a good shot.

 

Lets do this!!!

[Outlander]

Win number 1 of 11 this post season come today for the Brewers.

We play better on the road this year.

I believe I read the Braves has the worst home record of any postseason team.

We need Freddy from April/May to show up tomorrow, when he seemingly carried 1-hitters into the 6th inning every start. Hopefully his velocity is back after dipping 5mph since the injury

Well the good news is Freddy’s fastball velocity hasn’t dipped 5-mph, and was actually above average in his first start back after the mid-August injury. It actually looks like this has been the most consistent year of his career in terms of maintaining velocity throughout the season.

 

From Brooks Baseball, here is his by month average velocity…

 

 

And his by game average velocity…

I LOVE when actual stats are used in the OPTIMISM thread to curb negativity! Bravo!
