it's just a little weird that this board has spent 4 months making fun of the small market brewers at every stop when they've played even with the cubs the entire season. we all make fun of brewerfan.net (as we should), but you could just as easily look at it from the other side and marvel at how cocky/defensive a lot of people on nsbb are about the cubs this season. it honestly starts to feel like post-2004 boston sports arrogance at times.

okay but a comment about being annoyed that the brewers are doing well during the hardest part of their remaining schedule should not have gotten that kind of reaction, what the horsefeathers

bunch of weirdos for real

so much for the brewers brutal post asb schedule

there's a point

woof. i thought they were about to pull away.

translation: i hope you guys are happy with cole hamels

i swear that's like the 5th time i've seen jd predict something cool from rizzo right before it happened

if we aren't getting somebody good, then get another hamels type, eliminate chatwood, and go with a 6 man rotation until someone sucks enough to be removed

rank the wins heyward granny today braves comeback

oakland is unreal right now

i remember talking myself into orlando cabrera in the weeks leading up to the trade, because i didn't believe we would actually get nomar. and then cabrera ended up being really good for like 4-5 years after that.

brewers during the all-star break

injury delay?

that happened last year too. kind of lame.

oh so you can cheat in this i guess

anyone but this idiot

lester making sure the world sees him interacting with non-whites

horsefeathers the astros

looks like rookie starlin

that was amazing. it was worth the brewers annoying first half just for this weekend.

an unbelievably terrible play from theriot blows it

Sure, because to this point he's had an OK year at best, and, as pointed out, he's been a disappointment this season relative to expectations. Yeah, it's great his ERA has been trending the right direction for a while now, but it's not like anyone has to dig deep to see where he's struggled or been noticeably worse this year. Like, I'm much more encouraged if he stops walking so many guys (and he did that last night, huzzah!) and gets that walk rate and WHIP down than really ever worrying about his ERA. He's walked 3 or less batters every game in his last 9 games and 12 of his last 14 (2 or less in 9 of those). He's largely been the same pitcher he's always been going back to late April. saying he's walked 3 or fewer batters every game is a lot less impressive when you see he's walked at least 2 in every start since april. he only has 1 more strikeout than walk in each of his last 7 starts. his flip/xfip was 4.63/4.28 in may, 4.69/4.21 in june. and 5.38/4.98 so far in july. has has .6 war in 18 starts after averaging like 4.5 over the previous 5 season. it's dumb to say quintana has sucked or whatever (i was one of his biggest defenders on here in the second half last season), but it's pretty easy to see why there has been some disappointment. there's a significant difference between quintana's 2018 and the rest of his career.

his dad blew it
