2017-07-29: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Guerra) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1, 11 innings]

[jason21nl]

Walkoff for Villar?

 

I would guess so. He'll walk off the field after he strikes out to end the game.

 

At two pitches not close to the zone.

[owbc]

The Brewers did the right thing and gave the Miller Park crowd what they came for.

[brewmann04]

Hopefully Coles can do something with these hitters.

[TJseven7]

Ball 3 ball 4 = k

 

Just stand there... loaded 1 out sogard up.

 

Dude didnt throw any strikes.

[Matt1969]

WHAT A SUCKY GAME!!!!!!!

[yfinn6]

I didn't expect the offensive slump to last so long.

[Brewcrewin07]

Broxton put a Brinson jersey on? Looks like the exact same guy to me, hole in his bat and can't touch wildly hittable pitches.

 

 

Shhhh he's everybody's wonderboy around here.

 

Don't go away mad, just go away.

 

I know, he's your boy...I can see why...he's Troutesque clearly.

[brewmann04]

I was curious did not see the game was the crowd again pro cubs

[adambr2]

Dress it up all you want about a great battle, all it was was a complete choke job. As always. What do we have, one vintage late inning moment for this offense this entire season? The bomb by Pina against the Mets? That's literally the only one I can think of.

Funny thing about slumps... when you chase crapthey linger

I completely agree with you on the choke job. This offense has flat out disappeared and choke when the game is on the line.

 

Thames went back to back games hitting dingers. That was clutch. Other than that, a bunch of turds past the 8th inning.

Thames GW HRs in b2b games?

[jason21nl]

We all love torture because we'll be back watching again tomorrow

[brewmann04]

Hitting slumps and terrible AB are this Brewers MO at the deadline maybe get a Bat instead

[yfinn6]

We all love torture because we'll be back watching again tomorrow

 

And shame on us for always coming back, but it is what it is.

[Brewcrewin07]

I honestly think this LU is missing Vogt right now..He's a veteran, and I think he'd have delivered tonight at some point.

[jjgott]

Makes the case crystal clear the need is the bullpen, not the starting pitching. In almost all of our games recently we have had leads only to have the bullpen blow the game. Hopefully the price for someone like Britton will come down closer to the deadline. We need to be able to win these 2-1, 3-2 games if we want to make it/succeed in the playoffs.

[adambr2]

I totally forgot about the Thames bombs. Absolutely. Regardless, I'm disgusted.

 

3-10 record in extra inning games this year. No wins when trailing after 8. Those things don't happen by pure dumb luck. Those things happen when you have a team full of guys who can't mentally handle the moment.

[Brewcrewin07]

 

Holy crap...the 27th relief loss of the year tonight. That's a crap ton.

Playoffs??? If by some miracle this team made the playoffs, you better carry a 15 man pitching staff because you'll need about 20 innings in close late games before the offense will finally come through with a big hit.

[brewmann04]

The BULLPEN IS ON DS .

[adambr2]

 

Holy crap...the 27th relief loss of the year tonight. That's a crap ton.

 

The bullpen has been bad this year, no doubt, but that number is an offensive stat, too. It shows how many times we've failed to come up with a big hit and put a game away late.

[adambr2]

The BULLPEN IS ON DS .

 

Bullpen threw 7 innings of scoreless ball tonight, and gave up a bomb on a good pitch.

 

Bullpen for the season is a different discussion but I have no idea why anyone is complaining about the pen tonight.

[Ennder]

The BULLPEN IS ON DS .

Wow this is just idiotic. There was no reason for DS to build a bullpen this year.

[clancyphile]

The problem is we need more than one run to beat the Cubs.

 

This was a must-sweep series. We had to take the life out of them. 2 out of 3 doesn't do that.
