2019-08-20: Brewers (González) at Cardinals (Wacha) [Brewers lose, 9-4]

[Lostpawn]

Yo la tengo!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Cards score 4 runs without hitting a ball hard all inning...

[stoutdude04]

I know the game isnt over, but I'm going to be done watching for the night. This game has been too frustrating.

[MDCrew]

I would have brought in Hader I think he would be most effective in a role similar to last season using Albers as the closer. The Cardinals just always see to find away.

[Brewcrewin07]

It's been fun with you guys in the game threads this year...even when I got grief. It's Packer season now, we'll see you all next year. Thanks for having me.

[adambr2]

This isn't a playoff team, fellas. If the crappy run differential hasn't convinced you by now, the eye test should. This isn't a very good team. They're probably just as likely to finish with a losing record as they are to make the playoffs.

[Brew crew 92]

Where was Albers? Or even Hader? This is the game right here.

 

You wouldn't even trust Junior Guerra in extras the other day when Jeffress had thrown 30+ pitches, yet you trust him in a bases loaded 1 out situation in a 1 run game against a team you absolutely HAVE to beat?

 

Mind-boggling decision by Craig Counsell. We deserve to lose. Craig deserves to lose.

 

So true.

Counsell has been managing like he’s shell-shocked all year. Hundreds and hundreds of bad decisions.

Im sure you'll be back when they sign Madison Bumgarner in January.

 

Also, it isn't Packer season. It is watch Kizer overthrow 5th string wideouts by 10 feet season.

[Bulldogboy]

Braun should have been sent to first base the day Jesus was traded. It's on management again for bad decisions.

Agreed. Instead, they brought up the hottest hitter in the minors and decided to make him a part-time platoon player.

[folly412]

That was the most brutal Windows update ever. Literally started it at first pitch and just finished now.

 

Braun should be sentenced to first base. He used to be decent in the outfield, but has become such a liability.

[Cue high-pitched Jim Mora voice]: “Playoffs?! Don't talk about playoffs! Are you kidding me? Playoffs?! I'm just hoping we can win a game, another game!”

That’ll do for

The season! Unfortunately football is a distant second for me so I’ll continue to watch this clown show

[adambr2]

And now Albers is warming. Well done, Craig. You probably wanted the groundball guy about 20 minutes ago, but what do I know?

[Eye Black]

If they bring in Albers now that just adds to the bizarre order in which he just deployed his relievers. To your point, if you didn’t use Albers with the game on the line when you needed a double play ball why would you waste him now down three runs?

[Bulldogboy]

Of course. Presser after the game he will mumble something about we felt good about Junior there. Juniors been good against Righties when the moon is a full crescent and the humidity is 50%.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

And a good start to the inning gets nixed with the Grandal DP ball that a 6 year old could have turned. So much for that Saturday classic being a turning point ... unless it was a turning point from mediocre to ... well ... this.

I don't even watch the NFL anymore. The last time I watched a full NFL game was in 2011. Mostly it is just watching a quarter here and there but I will watch the Badgers here and there when they are on.

 

I just can't watch the NFL anymore it is just boring.

As a non-football fan, I am doomed to twiddle my thumbs for three months until college basketball starts. It was such a seamless transition last year.

Turns out it was the end. Doesn't get any worse than next game down 13-0 and then next game almost being no hit. If Doolitle does his job this is a 6 game losing streak and we are talking free agency.

[Eye Black]

I’ve watched the majority of the games this season, but it’s becoming increasingly tougher to justify. Brewers baseball just isn’t much fun to watch right now, unfortunately.

[Brew crew 92]

Cardinals announcers blasting Braun for his outfield play. Annoying as all heck, but true in this instance. The season on the line and he dogs it, unforgivable. If I’m Counsell, that’s the last time he’s in LF this year. 1B vs lefties or pinch hit. Grisham should be playing every game from here on out anyhow including all LHP.

If Trea Turner doesn't swing at ball 4 twice too.

[timpep]

I was giving CC the benefit of doubt on not using Albers, maybe he was saving him until the gas cans were done instead of potentially wasting him.... but I guess he was being saved for a 3 run deficit. Not a fan of CC at all right now.

[yourout]

The Swinging Sisters of St. Francis could drop a nickel on this Brewer bullpen.

 

Granted some of them swing a pretty mean stick.
