Well I'm happy for "Front Row Amy" and her twins, her Brewers are kicking A.

The current 29-52 includes a 23 game stretch where they stunned MLB by going 12-11. I don't think we will see such a stretch in the 2nd half even if they don't unload useful players at the TDL which they are certain to do.



Since that 12-11, they have gone 17-41 for a .293 winning percentage over those additional 58 games. That rate of losing has been consistent rather than the result of unpredictable streaks. Those additional 17 wins were attained with no more than one 3-game winnings streak, four 2-game winning streaks and 6 other wins interspersed between losses. And that's with Frazier, Rodriguez and anyone else they may trade this month.



If they sustain that .293 winning pct over the remaining 81 games despite TDL losses it will mean another 23 wins for a total of 52. But it's hard to imagine this weak roster won't be further weakened by the end of the month. So I think best case scenario is 52-110 but probably worse depending on who is subtracted from the roster by the TDL. The key will be the 6 games left with AZ. If the Pirates can go 4-2 or 5-1 in those games against the only other pathetic team left on the schedule it might mean an additional 2-3 wins and get them to the mid 50s for the season.

I wonder if Arizona is looking forward to playing the Bucs?

Man that post is depressing and more depressing that it's so true.

Please elaborate. As has been pointed out many times to folks like you wearing pointy hats, this is the first full season where the GM has been able to actually see people, you know, playing baseball, other than the 60 game brigaders.



You are aware of this right? You do know there was no college, no minor leagues, a truncated MLB season, and only a 5 round draft right?



Certainly, that doesn't equate to a "permanent pass" but you and Shed keep going on and on.



Really, at some point, you guys just look....well, I'd say something, but you'd cry saying I called you a name or something.

This is his second year. That means that he was here last year, but not the one before that. Someone else was here back then. That person's free pass expired, so it's all that person's doing.
