I Guess I Should Stop Complaining
Jul 24
Man, I thought the Brewers’ bullpen was bad. But Egad! I guess it could always be worse.
Meanwhile, pardon me while I revel in pulling out the broom…
UPDATE: Channeling my inner Red Sox fan, however, I feel compelled to say that despite the sweep, there’s a lot to be concerned about. Apart from another blown save by the Brewers’ bull pen, the team left 39 runners on base in the four-game set (almost ten a game!), including 19 left in scoring position. With a little bit of follow-through and clutch hitting, we crush the Cardinals, instead of needing late comebacks in three of the four games. Still, I’ll take it.

You have an excepionally easy task to get the wild card, so playoffs are looking good. Even with that paltry +35 run diff.

Yes and no. The Cardinals are still a threat, if/when their top two pitchers return to the lineup. I’m going to watch Chris Carpenter make a rehab start in Memphis tonight. I’m hoping he gets shelled.
As for the run diff, that may play in our favor: if the Brewers make the postseason, they’ll have a lot of experience playing in close games.
Forgot to mention about last night’s game. Guess who got the win for Milwaukee.
