Is this a national writer(s) take?

I think people that follow the team more closely (and listen to the pod!) are handling this better than the national writers.

Sure but what’s the other option. Spend? We know that’s not happening, just ride the lightning while you can.

Retreats and then has the best record in baseball. I think they are reinforcing just not on the obvious ways which is fine imo.

They have the best farm in baseball, are in the best stretch in franchise history. Any fan not over the moon with Brewers recent seasons is a dolt.

This feels like a lazy take.

I think the team that continues to trounce pre season models and stupid people pre season takes about how they ‘cant’t keep doing this’ should probably get the benefit of the doubt here 🤷

That’s fun. If they lose everyone will forget. But if they win, let alone win a couple, legend status.

Rock noted in the broadcast he thought the Marlins were playing shallow all day.

I’m glad there were a lot of takes similar to mine. It’s a lot to give up but I’d do that. The major pause is Acuña’s injuries…

It’s bad process which is just weird for the Brewers. Murphy is pressing, the entire team is pressing.

I can only imagine how tricky this is for Arnold to deal with. Can’t imagine Murphy is easy to deal with on this stuff. You take the good with the bad with him, this is the bad.

The consolation is, when the offense is this bad, you can’t win consistently no matter what you do really.

I mean the xavg is 100 points higher. Getting pretty unlucky.

He’s due for a breakout. Is there predictive stat for that?

I haven’t heard anyone bring this up, but any chance he could start with 3 pitches now?

It’s different, but I kinda feel like the Brewers are what I thought the Cardinals were a decade ago. Always competitive, better than the media thinks, with a pipeline of talent.
