Brewers run fueled by trading Greinke

This thread is right in TRUTH's wheelhouse.

The article is more less saying that Greinke was the reason the Brewers were struggling. The Brew Crew is on a run at the end of the season like the Cards did last year, but their chances of making the playoffs are slim.

How can you blame Greinke for their short comings this season with 28 gone. They are on a roll right now like the Cards did last year, but probably not enough games left to make it to the playoffs.

...last night green key reminded us how good he is....almost as good as darvish

is not that greinke has a bad conssistent at the mound,, is just that the halos OFFENSE HAS BEEN DEAD FROM GAME ONE!!

the angels OFFENSE HAS BEEN THE TOP RESPONSABLE PARTY FOR GREINKE'S LOST IN HIS LAST TWO OUTINGS!!!!

the brewers won't go any where, after all they wouldn't be able to go over from the first round!!!

When the Crew jettisoned Wolf, Marcum got hurt and Greinke got traded, an influx of young ballplayers were imported into the roster. At that point, the team was left for dead and the pressure was off.

less pressure + renewed youthful energy ==> better focus + more fun ==> wins

I think it's going to be close, maybe going down to the final day. Crew's only 2.5 games back, they've been on fire for the last month, Braun's leading two of the triple crown categories, and the Cardinals have been playing around .500 baseball. If Milwaukee can survive their next two road series against the Nationals and Reds (both of which have locked up playoff spots now) without shooting themselves in the foot, I think they might have enough momentum to squeeze themselves into the playoffs. And as St Louis proved last year, if you are hot going into the playoffs anything can happen at that point.

Getting rid of Wolf and George Kattaras, along with Marcum getting hurt, helped the Brewers a ton actually. Those guys were pretty dead weight and weren't doing much to help the Brewers at all.

Looking forward to next year. To little to late Brewers....should have made the pitching switches/call-ups a month earlier. Greinke may very well be back next year as he loves Milwaukee, but the Crew need to dump half their pitchers, and a few position players on the field perhaps.
