This is a mediocre baseball team, folks.

[treego14]

The Brewers did not prevail!

 

Worry!

 

Be sad!

[trwi7]

Brewers shall prevail tonight!

 

Don’t worry!

 

Be happy!

 

Good call, McFerrin.

[kybrewerfan]

More things change the more they stay the same

[willie key]

Yep. There is always hope

 

 

But realism and analysis trumps that.

[treego14]

Brewers shall prevail tonight!

 

Don’t worry!

 

Be happy!

 

Good call, McFerrin.

Please see my amendment!

[BruisedCrew]

The Pirates are playing this series perfectly. They know the Brewers will lose the first two and they have their lefty lined up for the sweep on Sunday.

I disagree.We are going to salvage a win on Sunday after losing the first two. It's the Brewer Way.

 

There’s no game on our 10 pack this weekend so I won’t be there to bring home the salvager.

[PinaMadness]

I also look forward to the brewers Salvaging the series Sunday.

A capital S. I like it.

 

If there is one word to describe June baseball in Milwaukee, it's Salvage.

[BruisedCrew]

Maybe if Shaw had been in the lineup they could have picked up another run or two.

How did he do for San Antonio today?

[Bulldogboy]

This bullpen is terrible. Hader basically has to get the game to himself by pitching 2 innings every time?? Accountability please Mr. Stearns. Knebel has been out since spring training.

[BruisedCrew]

Not overly optimistic the Brewers are going to win this one.

Would make five straight series opening losses at least.

 

It’s six. And 10 of the last 13.

 

The Pirates are the only team the Brewers have won a series against in the last 13, and now they can’t beat them either.

How did he do for San Antonio today?

Just checked on this myself ... he did not start and is still on the bench as of the 8th inning ... Missions are down 9-1.

[Oxy]

Oddly, if the Brewers win the last 2 they'd finish June with a .500 record. I've been hanging out in the IGTs too much as that seems impossible.

It would be hard for the 1990 Nasty Boy Reds to need to get 12 outs every single game.

Cain needs time off > IL

Grisham rostered then plays

Pina DFA’d > Freitas up

 

Cain is hurting this team by trying to play thru these injuries. Everybody can see he’s not right except CC.

 

Pina’s ave lower than Shaw’s. Meanwhile there’s a catcher in AAA hitting 3rd with a .368 ave. With good D.

[BruisedCrew]

Maybe if Shaw had been in the lineup they could have picked up another run or two.

How did he do for San Antonio today?

 

I don’t know, but isn’t that what some folks said about Hiura when he was in San Antonio?

 

Bringing Hiura back was obviously the right move, but this team’s problems run a lot deeper than one player. And now that Grandal and Yelich have gone cold there isn’t much punch in the lineup.

[folly412]

On the bright side, we didn't score in the 1st and never score again and lose in the 18th like the Twins last night. On the not so bright side, our lineup should be made to suffer for another three hours.

[BruisedCrew]

Oddly, if the Brewers win the last 2 they'd finish June with a .500 record. I've been hanging out in the IGTs too much as that seems impossible.

 

Considering the slate loaded with losing teams a .500 record in June is a major fail.

[Bulldogboy]

Grandal has gone into hibernation since moving to leadoff. Cain hitting clean up while injured is ridiculous. The lineup is a mess and Yelich cold is death.

9-2. Grisham homered again.

[brewers888]

This is a mediocre baseball team, folks.

 

I completely agree. This is a stars and scrubs roster and when the stars have off nights we can't win. Yelich, Grandal, and Moustakas have to produce every night or we can't score and Hader has to pitch two innings for us to win.

[PinaMadness]

Remember three months ago when the NL Central was the best in baseball?

[Eye Black]

Counsell said Jeffress should have gone home with the grounder. I thought the same, it would have been a difficult double play and that late in the game you have to keep the go ahead run off the board.
