7/9 cobs are playing who cares

[NotSoSober]

 

That was like a month ago. I no longer have that faith. I still think we can and should win the division. But it's more 50/50 that we even do that, simply because there isn't as much time left and because we are even further behind.

 

I still think the Brewers suck. And I still think we'll eventually play better. But we aren't in the same situation anymore.

 

Whoa. I wasn't aware of this update.

 

Well, you just got it. Things change. Circumstances are different. I haven't changed my beliefs about any teams in the division, but obviously things can change with a month of results.

every other game thread is destined to end with BDB mashing his doom boner while duke admirably continues believing there is no difference between "the brewers suck" and "the brewers have a good chance of returning to suck at some point"

Well, this sucks. But respect you for not hanging onto previous predictions out of pride. This also means my prediction doesn't look quite as funny anymore.

I legit didn't realize who you were talking about, then realized I was BDB. First time I've ever been called anywhere near my user name. Please, refer to me as a ninny or that guy.

I have a strong feeling this season takes a turn for the betterment after this game. They 'll take this embarrassing loss into the ASB and it will rejuvenate them. Can't wait for the 2nd half of the season

Predictions can change. When I thought we'd be resting guys for a week, I figured we'd be about even at the All-Star break. Fast forward to us being 5.5 back, and, well, that chops off about a week from when I predicted we'd clinch the division. Those 5.5 games matter.

 

So, yes, the longer we go, and the more ground we lose, I'm not hanging onto a prediction out of "pride." Things can and often do make you re-evaluate what you thought you knew. Before the season, I thought we'd win the division by like 50 games. You said yourself in this thread that you never thought you'd see us at this point at the break. Obviously, things changed to make you change your mind.

 

That said, the Brewers still do suck.

I want to think this team will play better, but something is different this year that is more than just playing bad... it's just sad

It's Sunday, so I'm only drinking vodka. I'm not a damn heathen

Agreed. Just giving you credit for not being stubborn.

They were just embarrassed 3 days ago and it didn't seem to help

Caratini upping that value

Theo needs to do something that will make these guys believe in themselves again. Maybe some teamwork drills?

 

 

Make an example out of Lackey

 

Is this Theo sacrificing Lackey to the baseball gods.. if so.. i approve.

[PackLandVA]

If you don't count the first inning, it was a close one, but a loss nonetheless.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

 

Agreed. Just giving you credit for not being stubborn.

 

Yeah, I'm not going to go Keith Law "Paul Goldschmidt is a platoon player" three years into his career. I'm fine with admitting something I said is wrong when presented evidence that it was wrong.

 

I still believe in the Brewers the same as I did then, though. They'll give us a chance if we want to take it.

It's more like sending Lackey straight to hell, but I'm sure that will appease the gods too

Hope you are right, sir. But I obviously think that prediction will change at some point, too.

The Cubs have lost more games by 5+ runs so far this year than they did all of 2016

[Derwood]

At least the run differential is now negative to match the record
