2017-09-20: Brewers (Wilkerson) at Pirates (Brault) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[shanedog19]

Braun is way overdue for a clutch hit.

[Brewcrewin07]

This is exactly who you want up in this situation, in this moment...he will deliver.

[MoreTrife]

Christmas Braun, can you help the team out?? C'mon!!

[PinaMadness]

I LOVE when Braun homers against these guys just to see their fans go apoplectic. Please let that happen here.

[hurricanecrush]

Braun is going yard here

[BuckyBrewer61]

Probably gonna have to go to right here

[hurricanecrush]

Or not

[adambr2]

This is exactly who you want up in this situation, in this moment...he will deliver.

 

Not this year. He's been really poor in clutch situations this season.

[MoreTrife]

Really garbage Braun.

[shanedog19]

Have left way too many men on base tonight. Eventually that will come back to bite us.

[PinaMadness]

Well, I don't like our chances of winning anymore. Gonna go to bed and hope for the best.

[topper09er]

Braun with 2 outs, RISP this season: 5 for 25 now

[adambr2]

This is going to be an absolutely gut wrenching loss given the opportunities we had both in our game and with the other teams losing..

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Late game RBI situations with Braun batting, but no runs produced. Failure is 70%+ of the game for batters, but couldn't have worse timing than tonight so far.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not this year. He's been really poor in clutch situations this season.

 

I'd still want Braun up. Single year "late/close" and clutch stats are such small samples that they're not a reliable measure of any kind of ability. They tell you what has happened, but they're not a predictor of any sort.

[pacopete4]

At least if we do lose this one we are still only 1 game out of a playoff spot.

[OnaBadger58]

Just tough that our 4 games are vs. the Cubs and the Rockies have 4 vs. the Padres

[NievesNoNO]

Ran through the bullpen going into the Cubs series, so this will hurt if they don't win

Case in point, Eric Thames' game tying hit today.

Is there any way Counsell pulls Knebel this inning?

[OnaBadger58]

Is there any way Counsell pulls Knebel this inning?

No.

[SomewhereInTime]

Is there any way Counsell pulls Knebel this inning?

 

Only if he gives up a run

[topper09er]

This has been the worse pitch calling all season.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Is there any way Counsell pulls Knebel this inning?

 

No

[OnaBadger58]

This has been the worse pitch calling all season.

Was thinking that too. Don't like Bandy back there.
