So Blanton is going to shut us out. That's a guarantee, right?

Wait, it's gotta be your bull.

[1992casey]

Carlos is really hobbling.

[brewmann04]

They are better off to DL him besides we have Schaffer on the 40 man.

[TURBO]

Schafer is a guy I don't ever want to see in a Brewers uniform again. he has had many chances to impress, and he hasn't done so. Give someone else a chance, we already know what we have in Logan Schafer, which isn't much...

[dlk9s]

I didn't even realize Joe Blanton was still a thing.

[LouisEly]

I can't believe how many ground balls the Royals have hit in this series that have just squeaked through, if even that, for base hits. Fiers got two ground balls and a pop up before the Royals scored a run in the 3rd; three ground balls with one run scored, and if Infante's weak grounder is three feet left or right of where he hit it Ramirez or Segura throws him out and the Royals have one run. Then in the fifth Moustakas bleeds another one through, Cain triples him in, and then Morales bleeds one through. Six runs on two hard-hit balls. Unbelievable.

[adambr2]

Embrace the suck, Brewer fans. We're 67 games in, this is no fluke. Our team is what it is. Even Brian and Bill are saying this team isn't going anywhere this year.

[AKCheesehead]

I bet CC was just tickled pink about having to bring in Smith to relieve Broxton with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th down 8 runs.

[pacopete4]

This team has quit. They've quit on Counsell. This is just horrific.

[brewmann04]

CC was better off leaving him in time to ebd his time in Milwaukee .

Well since they already fired a manager what can they do next.

[brewmann04]

This team is horrible and no one can really believe otherwise. But i do agree this team looks like they don't care.

DM must put it out everyone is out there lets here you best offer.

Hmm, I guess putting the ball in play actually helps.

[TheCrew07]

My snarky comment of the night... "GM for life!"

[Invader3K]

Gee, I'm really sorry I missed watching this one last night. /blue

And all of our ground balls go right to defenders. It is almost like we are cursed...

Let's be honest. If any of us were out there day after day getting our head bashed in by every team in both leagues we'd quit too. I don't blame Counsell. He was put in a no win situation literally and figuratively. You can see it on every one of their faces how all of this losing has drained them emotionally. It is all really just sad.
