2019-09-18: Padres (Lamet) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 2-1]

[chickinbrickin]

Braun lacing one down right field line, calling it.

[Ennder]

If they fall behind Braun I walk him to face Cain.

[BruisedCrew]

Braun never comes through in the clutch.

[adambr2]

Yates got away with that 0-2 pitch.

[TURBO]

Well, that deescalated quickly...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Drat!

[HarveysWBs]

Dang it. Braun had one to hit, too, and just missed it. Gotta shake it off and get back after it.

[chickinbrickin]

Fitting that game ended with a K

[shanedog19]

Can't win them all. Just have to get the bats going early and often tomorrow.

[adambr2]

Braun was a little too overanxious to be the hero on that AB. Certainly could have on that 0-2 pitch, though.

[yourout]

Let's hope the bats are in a mini slump not in a season crushing one.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

OK ... lets get the series tomorrow. Still in great shape.

[PinaMadness]

It just wasn't meant to be tonight.

[mtrebs]

Alright. Can’t win every game, but need to win the series tomorrow. I thought if they win each series they’ll have a good shot of making to postseason.

[BruisedCrew]

The path to the division title got a lot rougher today.

[adambr2]

Hopefully the Reds can pull it out tonight. We may be better off just hoping the Cardinals stick a fork entirely in the Cubs. Would be hard to miss the playoffs if they do that.

[willie key]

I think you can forget about the division. 3 games back with 10 to go. If the cards lose games then the cubs will be winning those so I think it’s time to be a cardinals fan the rest of the year

 

Hopefully the reds can win tonight. Just an all around crappy night

They weren't going to win out. You know that.

[mtrebs]

Yeah, I wonder if it’s best to root for the Cardinals now which hopefully get some us to the wild card game.

[shanedog19]

I think at this point you need to root for the Cardinals to smash the Cubs. It will be really hard to make up 3 games with 10 to play.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If the Cubs win we undid last night have 2 fewer games left. Blech.

[shanedog19]

If the Cubs win we undid last night have 2 fewer games left. Blech.

 

Yeah we need to win tomorrow's game and sweep the Pirates this weekend.

[HarveysWBs]

If the Cubs win we undid last night have 2 fewer games left. Blech.

 

Now I’m kinda hoping Cubs-Reds goes 20 innings. Even if the Cubs win that, they’d lose in the long run.

Especially when the cubs play them 7 times which means we aren’t gaining on them. I would be happy with cards or cubs winning 6 out of 7

 

We got to win tomorrow

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It just sucks to drop winnable games in September. The Brewers didn't have a ton of opportunities tonight, but they had enough that they should have been able to cash in on. Really wasted a very good pitching performance from Houser and the pen because the offense couldn't get anything going.
