Bullpen will be our doom. Sucks to cuz this season was pretty fun.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

We have three hits. We're not doing a lot offensively to help out pitchers, either. At least not thus far.

 

Positive thinking. The Brewer bats will wake up. And Brauny will be the hero tonight.

There are three things America will be known for 2000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution, jazz music and baseball. They're the three most beautifully designed things this culture has ever produced. Gerald Early

I don't see them coming back from this one. With Greinke and Kershaw coming up it looks like first place will be a memory.

 

We'll pound one of them. It's the average starters like Hernandez where we pile up pathetic at-bats.

It doesn't matter what the offense does or doesn't do. We can't get to the 7th inning lately with a 1 or 2 run lead and assume that the game is in safe hands.

 

Yes, we have only 2 runs. However, it's not like it would be any different if we got to the 7th inning with a 4 - 3 lead, or a 5 - 4 lead. This bullpen can't go 3 innings and hold a lead. It can't. Trying to somehow slide the blame to the offense here is a huge fallacy.

The bullpen has been horrible, but you don't win many games with 2 runs. Equally at fault in my opinion.

 

4-3 or 5-4 aren't different, but 5-1 would be.
