The Brewers are down bad

[EnergizedLib]

Boy, it seems like these teams that made deadline moves (Seattle being an exception) aren’t doing too hot.

Since dealing Hader, neither the Friars nor the Crew are showing much, and the Yankees lost again to Toronto.

While I’m happy my Cubbies won today, the Brewers have lost 11 of 17 and really on a slide, and it wasn’t just that Milwaukee lost, but how.

The Brewers had the ninth, 10th and 11th innings to get three outs. They were a strike away, and Yelich couldn’t field a transition.

I mean, Cub relievers had a really tough time locating pitches, and somehow, this team still celebrated a walk off.

We’re definitely seeing some collapses, folks. The dog days of summer seem to really take their toll.

1. And my beloved Cardinals have turned it around so much

I am thinking of getting a shirt done up with SLANIDRAC on it and somehow I need ULA on it and show the redbird morphed into a vampire.

3. Your GM went and got help at the deadline. Stearns sealed the Brewers fate by not aquiring a

Centerfielder.

The pitching trades were basically a wash.
This team has needed hitting for the last 3 years.

4. What has happened to Yelich?

[yourout]

5. Curse of the big contract...

Giving him that deal before you knew he was completely back from the broken knee cap was a great way to "kneecap" a small market team for a decade.

[yourout]

2. Outside of 3 weeks in the spring the train has been off the tracks the whole year.

They can't hit, They play bad defense, and this year the Pitching has been injured and is way below the last few years.

Rebuild is right around the corner lust like 2014.

6. That makes Farhan Zaidi a genius! The Giants are sinking like a stone.

without spending anything at the deadline.

F---ing money ball. Hate it.

I remember they used to call Dick Stuart "Doctor Strangeglove". How about a whole team that forgot how to pitch, hit and field? How many bases loaded with no runs produced, botched running .... Oh, never mind.

From the old days, look up a John Miller call "That's the worst base running in the history of baseball"



Painful

9. Giants need a major rebuild

What little trade bait they had in the minors is part off that rebuild.

7. It should be noted that Hader

was pitching terribly before the trade and has been just as bad or worse since being shipped out.

8. That's true

But it seems like Milwaukee has, maybe coincidentally, been on a slide, too, since that time.

[Ziggysmom]

10. So tired of the same big money teams dominating the picture, buying the playoffs.

Most definitely, it is time for the MLB to realize that the inequalities between small and large market clubs are perpetuating competitive imbalance in the league.

And yeah, Yelich has been a huge disappointment for the Brewers. Brewers leave too many men on base that don't score, and except for some home runs, we are not hitting well.
