    They are playing great ball but The Brewers are peaking too early. Not only do they have 0 chance vs Philly but they have no chance vs the Braves. Their 7,8,9th inning pitcers have 1.80 ERAs or better :o

    Please for the love of god we are playing well against a shit schedule, and we have a shit schedule the rest of the way out. The Brewers are good, dangerous even, but we haven't stirred shit all year and I liked it that way. I am glad we are winning and believe we can do well, but we are 0-1 since I've posted in this thing and if we lose Friday I'm out.

    Anyone here?


    So I get the feeling Tom Verducci doesn't like the Brewers' chances much...
    One of the challenges for Tampa Bay, Toronto and Baltimore is playing in the AL East and having to play 36 games against the Yankees and Red Sox. Well, the inverse of the AL East Penalty is the NL Central Advantage. The Brewers are going to the postseason almost entirely because they can fatten up on 46 games against the Cubs, Pirates and Astros. With realignment talk floating around, Milwaukee shouldn't dare complain about the "inequity" of competing in a division with six teams.

    Milwaukee is 31-9 against Chicago, Pittsburgh and Houston and barely above .500 (54-51) against all others. The Brewers have fewer wins against .500 or better teams (22) than 24 other clubs. The Padres, Nationals, Orioles and Cubs -- the Cubs! -- have more quality wins than Milwaukee, the Boise State of the major leagues.
    The Brewers don't win on the road and they don't beat good teams, including the three other NL playoff teams. Against Philadelphia, Atlanta and Arizona, Milwaukee is 8-11 while hitting .235 and scoring 3.4 runs per game.
    Do you know the last time Milwaukee won a series against a winning team other than the Cardinals? That would be before Memorial Day. The Brewers went the entire summer without winning a series against a good team other than St. Louis.

    Do you remember their 23-3 run from late July to mid-August that salted away the division? The Brewers went 19-1 against losing teams, including 13-0 against the Cubs, Pirates and Astros. Get this: Milwaukee still has six more games with Pittsburgh and Chicago. None of them will be in October.

    Yep, those numbers don't lie. This weekend is a true test. Our hitters aren't clutch at all. Other than Prince

    While I get this argument somewhere this past week I saw how having a winning record against winning teams or a poor record against good teams does not correlate to success or failure in October. In the last decade it's been hit or miss. I wish I remember where it was from but basically the argument was that most top teams go around .500 against good teams and make their hay against the bad ones. The Brewers had a brutal first half sked and the script flipped for the middle of the season.

    I agree with you - I read the same thing. I was just delivering the message. I think the Brewers are very dangerous in the playoffs, if they play well (i.e. good defense, some hits with RISP...). They aren't going to beat the Phillies popping up the first pitch, getting only 4 hits in a game, and playing terrible defense. Let's see how they do at the Doc's office tonight. ;)

    The other thing is, I know my Phillies are going to show up and play well in the playoffs. (sometimes they get unlucky like last year or run into a buzzsaw like 2009 WS)

    That's the thing - when you have to question whether a team is gonna play defense or whether their pitchers (you know who) are going to get psyched out or whatever - it's not a good sign.

    I think the good and/or bad thing about the playoffs for the Brewers is the fact that it doesn't really reward consistency it rewards whoever gets real hot at the right time. Yes the Phillies will always win 2 games in a series, whereas the Crew could get swept and be long forgotten on October 4th or whatever. The thing I like about the Brewers is that they have two starters that throw 93-96, and one is certifiably crazy. That could be bad, but Hamels is certifiably crazy and he carried you all in '08...so who knows. I just want it to be here already.
