2018-08-24: Pirates (Musgrove) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-6 in 15 innings -- Crazy 3-Run Comeback Walk-Off Win]

Listening to talk radio this week...I wish I had the sunny disposition of Tim Allen, chastising any Brewers fan that isn’t enjoying this because we are in a pennant race so this must be fun.

 

This is why I’m not enjoying this Tim. This is why.

 

I'm enjoying it. This is stressful but more fun than being 50-83 right now

[Bulldogboy]

It is hard to be as bad as this team has been offensively tonight. Sucks that the closer gave it up but this pitching staff is throwing high stress pitches all night every night due to offense just being asleep to many times.

[chickinbrickin]

Why doesn't Kratz call high heat when JJ is pitching. He gets really predictable staying low in the zone. Maybe jj is shaking him off? At 97 he could blow that by a lot of hitters.

I've found this to be one of the most annoying games of the season, frankly. Of course, I'd rather win an annoying one than lose a fun one, but they better get it done. Especially with a 4 run lead and their track record against these guys lately.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I really want to believe this team is poised for a strong stretch run - but the eye test keeps forcing me to question that positive outlook....it's just been too hard to put together solid 15-20 game stretches since the calendar hit June to expect them to get on a big roll.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Schoop smoked that one. Nice to see. Now lets get him in!

[KeithStone53151]

That's not that tough of a hop, more of a long hop than in between...a good 1b probably gets that.

[trwi7]

Schoop not being at 2nd base right now is ridiculous.

[MoreTrife]

Other teams use their best relievers whenever the game is close, forget roles or winning.

[Bulldogboy]

Tough to use Hader, Soria, and Jeffress and potentially once again lose a 4 run lead.

 

Jeffress this week: Sunday (32 pitches), Monday (15 pitches), Wednesday (20 pitches), Friday (31 pitches)

Yep. This is why they had to give Knebel every chance to get it together. Too bad he couldn't do it.

[Eye Black]

I wish I liked the Brewers chances better in extra innings, but not overly confident in the remaining bullpen options.

[adambr2]

This is just inexcusable to be doing this again.

[schmidtac20]

Glad to see this new offense we traded half our prospects for has shown up.

 

 

 

 

This team is done.

Wow, overreact much?

[Eye Black]

Ugh, of course they get a bloop leadoff base hit.... sigh.

[MoreTrife]

Pitt has five guys in their bullpen who throw in upper 90s with a below 3 ERA. Pretty impressive.

[pacopete4]

Glad to see this new offense we traded half our prospects for has shown up.

 

 

 

 

This team is done.

 

This is simply untrue. Frustrating game, I get it but boy...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey, Matt Harvey looked pretty good today

I guess it's just me but I'm having a hard time watching this team collapse for the second year in a row. I don't find that even remotely fun.

[FVBrewerFan]

Glad to see this new offense we traded half our prospects for has shown up.

 

 

 

 

This team is done.

 

"New offense" tonight:

 

Schoop 1-1

Moose: 2 run homer

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Maybe not done, but if we miss the WC by one game again it will be maddening how many of these we gave away.

[buckybrewer232]

Ugh, of course they get a bloop leadoff base hit.... sigh.

 

I'm sorry, but that was just quality hitting. Breaking ball low and away and he just waited back and went with it, poking it into RF.

 

Some of these AB's have been night and day between Brewers and Pirates. All of these Pirates have been tough outs all night.

Schoop reached on an error.

4-0 lead vs Padres and pirates at home. Inexcusable.

 

 

Pirates have done more offense today then last 10 days

[adambr2]

You can hear a pin drop in the stadium, and it's a tie game. It's like they're all expecting to lose.
