Man, that loss hurt. I haven't really cared too much about losses this year, but that one was different. Great entertaining game, which is all I really want out of the Brewers this year, so I'll take it. Just wish they could have won!

It all started with a hit by pitch. Can't let the leadoff man get on in the 9th. Not Jeffress best outing. Other opportunities throughout the game to either extend the lead, win it or tie it up again but it starts with a hit by pitch in the 9th.

So many opportunities to win and then tie this game.

 

I don't rag on Counsell too much, but he had a handful of head scratching moves in this game. You already have the man on 2nd. Bunting takes one of your three chances to knock him in with a single.

 

The intentional walk to load the bases......

I'm so glad I decided to give in and go to bed after that 12th inning. Having bases loaded, no outs, and then failing to score a single run is unacceptable and beyond embarrassing.

This plus pinchhitting for Presley. Why would you want Perez Hill and Maldonado instead of Presley Hill and Perez? You ended up subbing in an .083 hitter for a guy who knocked in a run from 3d his previous time. L/R split? It's like Monty Burns hitting Homer for Strawberry.
