2011-09-27 Pirates (Ohlendorf) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers win, 6-4: 3 Fielder HRs]

[jjkoestler]

I'm still in shock. Did that really just happen?

[pebadger]

None of this matters. Just win, Brewers.

[Glennron]

An infield hit, an 0-2 hit, walk, error (game over), walk, GS. 6 runs all with 2 outs. Homefield was literally 99.9% ours in the first round. It still might be but now we have to win with the bullpen tomorrow. I stayed up for this and it ends like that. Just incredible and frustrating.

99.9% doesn't do it justice. That's literally like one in a million at best, right?

[Schlitz001]

That is the worst fangraph chart I have ever seen. What the H?

[Oldcity]

That is impossible. Down 5 with two outs and nobody on. That's honestly impossible. I bet that has never happened in Major League history.

 

What.

[jjkoestler]

Time for a ZG no no tomorrow. Let's take the 2 seed in style.

[Oldcity]

This is awful. It makes the Brewers either push Greinke back, or risk losing homefield by taking him out early. Seriously unbelievable. I am in total shock.

[Flying Dutchman]

As Vin Scully kept pointing out, all this because the pitcher didn't cover first on the infield hit with two outs. That was painful and yet amazing all at once.

 

Edit: misspelled Scully.

[reillymcshane]

Holy crap. Wow. The dodgers should throw themselves off a bridge for that.

[Schlitz001]

Favorable possibilities for tomorrow:

 

1) Brewers win, DBacks lose

2) Brewers win, DBacks win

3) Brewers lose, DBacks lose

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Kemp and Kershaw and pray for a good bankruptcy judge...

 

Just go away Dodgers.

[tomwopat]

I blame Daron for the reverse jinx.

[carniesandrubes]

None of this matters. Just win, Brewers.

 

of course it matters. it changes how they play tomorrow completely. would have been nice if arizona played during the day so we knew if we had to win.

 

ugh. can't believe i stayed up for this. i now want them to sweep arizona in the first round, home field or not.

[zookerman182]

WOOOO HOOOOOOO no phillies in round 1

 

THIS IS 100% MY FAULT

Haha, I was about to say, blame Daron, page 10 and a good chunk of page 11 was a reverse jinx

[tomwopat]

And Owings vultures the win after giving up 5 runs! Still baffled.

Who posted a reminder of this game earlier? Strangely similar fangraph, huh?

[Oldcity]

This Brewers loss was exponentially more likely than the Dodgers' loss tonight. The DBacks won that Brewer game with nobody out. To score five after two out and nobody on... I virtually cannot be done.

Six.

IF we lose homefield and end up playing the phillies in the first round because of this 2 out comeback i might stop watching baseball forever

[tomwopat]

The Curse of Cole Gillespie

[sdcheezhd]

Well Rick Monday said that Micah Owings was going to be 7-1 so he gets some of the blame too. At least it was only 10 out here - my brother called from 1 EDT land for the bottom of the 10th and I called the whole painful thing for him.

[Schlitz001]

Haha, I was about to say, blame Daron, page 10 and a good chunk of page 11 was a reverse jinx

Daron did predict this happening. In the top of the 10th inning he started talking to people who he predicted were going to be watching the re-air of this game saying, "You are going to want to stay tuned because you'll never believe what happens in the bottom of the 10th".

Even when the Brewers win?

My God people, enjoy the ride. Everything the Brewers can still accomplish is squarely in their own hands.
