@Tschmack posted:The Brewers pieced together this roster with rubber bands and wire tires and a shoestring budget. They continue to hedge their bets that all the moves will work out but as we all know obviously they did not. That’s why they are an average (at best) team.
Burnes stepped up but Houser regressed big time. But then of course Burnes gets hurt. Knebel looks like the closer version of Jimmy Nelson. Lights out then gets hurt and never recovers to previous form. Then there’s the hitting. If they weren’t going to resign Grandal or Moose then Hiura and Braun and Narvaez and Yelich had to step it up and it didn’t happen. The guys they picked up off the scrap heap, well, they are picked up off the scrap heap.
And yet, we are one hot streak from Yelich from doing some damage in the playoffs. Unless he's not really over the fractured kneecap psychologically (and that's possible), he is obviously due. He's the type of player that is capable of going on a 9 for 12, 4 HR streak in a 3 game series.
