2020-09-24: Brewers (Burnes) at Cardinals (Kim) [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[TURBO]

Can this offense for once pick up the pitching and win one?

 

Odds are probably no, but this is 2020, so they could score another 10 runs, or they could not register a single hit the rest of the game...

 

 

So you’re saying that they might score runs or they might not score runs

 

Gotcha

 

exactly...lol

I think we need a minimum of 3 new everyday players next season.

And one hitting coach.

No doubt about it but I expect Haines to keep his job.

We need a starter at every infield spot and hope that the DH is in so Hiura can do that. Catcher would be in play too so yeah Stearns is on the clock.

That and Yelich and Hiura need to come back next year and hit like they normally do.

[Bulldogboy]

Trouble here

[markedman5]

Kershaw has won a few Cy Young’s and I seem to remember him struggling in some big games...........very good pitchers can struggle at anytime........they aren’t machines.

[wibadgers23]

Yardley is trying to really put this game out of reach.

[Bulldogboy]

Get on the phone Counsell

[shanedog19]

I wouldn’t leave Yardley in there very long. This could get away from us quickly.

[yourout]

Yardley about to end my TV time for the evening.

[pacopete4]

Can’t burn everyone with the doubleheader tomorrow. Someone might have to wear one eventually here.

[brewers888]

I wouldn’t leave Yardley in there very long. This could get away from us quickly.

 

3-1 feels like its gotten away already.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It feels like Yardley has the emptiest 1.7 ERA in baseball history. It feels like he is primed to give up 5 runs whenever he's in the game, but he seemingly never does.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Miller is going to be a tough AB for Yardley. Didn't get a close one on Goldy. It's Yardley's to lose through Dejong, I think.

[wibadgers23]

One more run and it’s channel flipping time.

[Bulldogboy]

Dejong kills us in spots like this.

[TURBO]

Kershaw has won a few Cy Young’s and I seem to remember him struggling in some big games...........very good pitchers can struggle at anytime........they aren’t machines.

 

Nah, they just aren't ready for the "bright lights."

[markedman5]

Nice work from Yardley

[brewers888]

Somehow we are still in it. Wake up bats.

[pacopete4]

Keeping it at 3 is huge. Punchers chance.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Miller the key out there, I think. That inning was all about letting Yardley go against RHB.

 

I think the Brewers will get at least one more tonight. I hope it's a lot more.

[markedman5]

[Bulldogboy]

Who would have thought that we are basically down to hoping that Tyrone Taylor can run into one to keep us alive

[mtrebs]

Were the lights bright enough in the playoffs in 2018, or did that not count?

 

I could see it being different. 2018 was a team accomplishment. This is Burnes in the spotlight by himself.

 

I guess I don't really see a huge distinction. The guy has pitched in plenty high-leverage situations.

 

He didn't have his best stuff and it's strange to hear people questioning his toughness or whether he's ready for the bright lights. He's had a really good season and he's hardly the reason this team is dead in the water (unless they're going to surprise us).

 

I'm not trying to be a jerk and I realize people are upset in the in-game thread because I've been there plenty but Burnes has probably been one of the few bright spots this year. He didn't have his best stuff, or wasn't 100%, but c'mon now... some of these comments.. (not saying your comment was over-the-top)..

 

I’ll clarify that I didn’t agree with the op, however I can see a distinction between a personal milestone vs. a team milestone in regards to succumbing to pressure. Again, I don’t think that was the case here.
