  1. Moore dogged it a lot last year and doesn't exactly get a pass because he didnt trust the coaches. If that were the case, why did he sign an extension? He gave up on a lot of plays and was highly disappointing. He needs to prove himself again this year.
  2. This offenses inability to hit non-fastballs is embarrassing, and my theory, is that the approach has been so effective against them that they cant get out of their heads and now they aren't even on the fastball. Im ok with being wrong but to me theres a lot lacking in the preparation dept IMO To me, far too often these are going out there with no plan besides try to pull the ball. Doubles to the pull side are tough these days unless its right down the line or a low line drive. Our pulled-air contact is finding a lot of gloves because of defensive alignment, not bad luck, and we just dont hit many low line drives. But now that we aren't on the fastball, almost all of our hard contact is up the middle lately and dying near the CF warning track.
  3. Thats how it started though in 2017. They fell apart and we took the division, the moniker took off.
  4. This forum has severely underrated the Brewers for 6 years. They still like to throw the 'vaunted' joke around. They toppled our dream team and have owned the division for more than half a decade. They just went on a .750 tear for a 3rd of a season, we cant win 6 games in a row.
  5. Jed gambled that he had a viable 3B and enough starters to get the job done. Since the deadline Shaw is a top hitter in the league and the rotation has the best ERA. What could he have done to prevent 5 guys going from 850 OPS to 500?
  6. Good things sometimes happen when you dont chase, when you swing at strikes, when you rarely whiff, when you hit it where its pitched, etc etc. They have literally doubled our offensive output this month, so let's stop pitching about the curiosities. They have a 156 to our 74. They have 34 doubles, we have 16. They have 28 HR, we have 12. Our hitters are predictable and have made themselves easy to defend. The 4 seams have dropped dramatically and none of our guys can slug a sweeper or a changeup.
  7. I knew his velo was down but holy horsefeathers. What does he offer as 91 and still cant throw strikes?
