LOL SCOOTER WINS THE GAME WHO WOULD FIGURED!

[owbc]

The only thing this game is missing is Chad Moeller hitting for the cycle.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Leave Guerra in to get schellacked for 7 runs (yes, I know, soft grounders, but whatever, he still put a ton of guys on), then get cute on matchups late in the game?

 

Cheering for this team sucks sometimes. Last year was great because it was so unexpected. This year has just been a roller coaster.

[brewerfan82]

Well Jennings had only given up one homerun against lefties in 98 at bats going into that one...

[TURBO]

Why mess with Williams throwing well? If he struggles its immediately, if not he's as solid as anyone we have.

 

Exactly.

[phnxcrew]

It is a tradition of failure. How can other posters be mad at those who are negative? I'm 33 and this has literally been happening our whole lives. Our best season was when a crappy cardinals team beat us in the NLCS.

[TexasCheesehead]

I love how Scooter suddenly develops power after leaving us. It was a miracle when he hit a homer here

[MrTPlush]

For the record Jennings has pretty good splits. Actually pitches well overall against lefties. But man does he blow it in big spots a lot. The worst is when Counsell goes to him for a lefty, he fails, and then a bunch of righties mash him. Hate it.

[markedman5]

Lefties 530 ops vs Jennings.....had given up 1 homer all year......figures

The point is why even bother being a fan and come post on a fan site if you are going to spout whining and negativity?

[brewmann04]

stupid to take Williams out again just like the last time with this happening. I guess it takes more than twice for CC to learn

[Fear The Chorizo]

if CC is terrified of Williams facing a lefty, why not just have Williams walk Gennett and leave him in to face Suarez? Especially when there isn't a LOOGY anywhere near the Brewers' pen right now...

because he has like a .960 OPS against LH batters...Jennings has a .530 OPS against LH batters...it was the right move it just didnt work out

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jennings needs to be gone next year. A left that can't get lefties out

 

Stearns doesn’t have a magical touch with lefties.

 

Makes me wonder whether Ramirez or Torres-Costa might make some sense.

[adambr2]

My God Knebel has become trash.

Sometimes the right decision ends badly.

Why even bother being a fan when everything is rainbows and unicorns with a complete failure to see the reality of a situation? You can't tell me this is making you feel warm and fuzzy right now.

This year exceeded my expectations as much as last year. I never expected them to win the division and I'm not going to get worked up over the coinflip play-in game. This year has been fun.

[yfinn6]

CC is an idiot. Williams pitching fine and of course has to make a move.

[mtrebs]

Knebel is done.

[Bigblast]

My God Knebel has become trash.

Pretty much

Because where else can you commiserate with others who care about the team as much as you do?

[brewmann04]

I guess you can be a fan if your also negative but this year this is very frustrating.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Oh Corey Knebel being Corey Knebel once again.

 

Can he be optioned to Biloxi? Because having him in the pen means we're playing a man down right now.

[homer]

And sometimes Corey Knebel just stinks....
