Rolling Bob Uecker Anecdotes - 2017 Milwaukee Brewers Still Rebuilding Thread

Damn, looks like the team may be serious about going in

This is so exciting. This is our window, and we have the depth to make a real push. The team will likely be better in a year or two than they are now, but that's not guaranteed. What is almost certain is that the NL Central won't be so weak in a year or two.

JESUS SAVES!!

gotta love the 4 run, 1 hit inning

At least they would get more than a playoff push rental with Quintana and Gray than they did with CC Sabathia a few years back.

fully hopping on the brewers bandwagon.

Second acts in American lives:

jeeeeeeeeezus matt garza works slooooooooowly

good, gotta stretch this game out till 4:30 so I can see the end

Looking forward to popping my Miller park cherry today!

nice! been there 4 times this year, it's a blast. got to see Bartolo twice (!!!) and Bautista nail the scoreboard...pretty cool even if they lost all those games

good one to go to I see

The Pirates were 6-for-12 with RISP. The Brewers were 0-for-0. Brewers win, 7-6.

Ya. There were a lot of bombs.
I was down the 3rd base line and absolutely dying in the sun.

Huge win today

Not a drill, y'all. It's September and we are playing meaningful baseball. I expect we'll flame out in a week or two... but maybe we won't. Gotta savor this.

ouch

yea unbelievable, that's the second major injury to a starter as a result of an at-bat

huge game today, if they can win I'd say the division is up for grabs

it may be!

yea they could be playing for the division two weekends from now, I'm stoked

go brew crew, like these guys a lot

can tie for WC2 with a win tonight

do it for Jimmy, boys

Despite last night's disappointment, they've won 9 of 12. Be nice to win 3 of 4 in this Cubs' series, but two of their starts are given to guys named Suter and Woodruff.

those two have been good!!

Yeah, i just don't know em

that's really been the surprise of the season, they've been able to cobble together a decent rotation despite losing their opening day starter and having to demote both Peralta and Garza. losing Nelson really sucks. kinda like how Counsell is just going for it right now, he's managing like they're in the playoffs already. it's even more amazing because this team is really not all that good. I don't think anyone could've thought they would have a legit shot at making the playoffs heading into the final week.

It seems pretty likely that a not-all-that-good team from the AL, and possibly the NL, will make the tournament.

man this is probably the best game of the year so far

welp, gotta win the next 3 to have a prayer in the division

wow that was frustrating. crowd was about to explode in the bottom of the 9th. gonna suck if the whole season comes down to who hit the bag first there

it was a crazy game. the cubs got lucky a few times.

though jeffries came pretty dang close to giving up three HRs in the 10th instead of just one. i'm still not convinced that rizzo didn't get one.

the atmosphere at Miller Park for these games has been incredible. love it.

i honestly regret the pirates winning that game on wednesday

I know they're lucky to be in this but holy shit those were some brutal back-to-back-to-back losses

@keithlaw Don't you love the IBB to load the bases followed by the walk forcing in the winning run for the Cubs? That's #smartbaseball

wow we're really gonna lose three straight in extras aren't we

OR NOT!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAhA!!!!!!!

this has been a great series so far

great baseball

It speaks to the beauty of baseball that this has been both an amazing season and a heartbreaking season

I don't think we're gonna make it, but damn we were so close and with just a fraction of luck (something we had none of this season) we'd all but have a wild card locked up

no kidding, they really felt like the team of destiny until this last week

hey if they can sweep the Reds at home while Colorado loses 2 of 3 to Miami, they go into the last weekend 1 out of the WC2. (and Rox finish vs Dodgers)

i was impressed by their lineup of talented young no-name starters. i knew about davies but hadn't seen any of the other starters pitch yet, and they all acquitted themselves pretty well.

Just doing the fan math here... Rockies are all but sure to win today. But if the Brewers can somehow win tonight, then win tomorrow night, too (when the Rockies have off), they'll be just 1 game back. That means to tie the season they'll need to win two out of three against the Cards this weekend, and the Rockies will have to lose two of their final three games against the Dodgers.

It's.. doable, I guess. But man that's no room for error.

Dodgers are probably gonna be sitting guys too

It's nice that they still have a chance, but the Cubs series kinda crushed my hopes. Wish the Rockies would stop winning games.

well what a shitty last 4 days of the season

hold on! win tom'w and you have a meaningful Saturday

Battling to the end, love it.
