2020-09-27: Brewers (Anderson) at Cardinals (Gomber) [Brewers lose, 5-2 -- Clinch spot in Postseason]

[bm1090]

The Padres have pulled their starters are are throwing their bad pitchers. That one does not look great for us. Glad they have a 2 run cushion but it doesn't inspire confidence.

 

They will probably be doing us a favor by letting the Giants win, I still want to back in but really with Burnes out and this offense we are toast.

 

How would they be doing us a favor? I'd rather make it and lose 55-0 twice in a row than not make it.

We are toast with or without Burnes. You could duplicate him and we would still be toast.

[BruisedCrew]

BTW, I’m going on the record as not criticizing the Padres if they let this lead get away. They have gone above and beyond this weekend with the two wins, including a ninth inning comeback.

 

I’m specifically not going to blame them if they have a save situation in the ninth and don’t use Rosenthal. They had him ready with a one run lead last night, and sent him in when the lead ballooned to 4. They can be forgiven for resting their closer for the playoffs instead of trying to help out the Brewers by using him two nights in a row.

[MrTPlush]

Hard to be mad if the Padres don’t help us. We should have won half our games this year and made it irrelevant.

meh, not me... I don't need that kind of stress.

[MrTPlush]

Welp, no Braun heroics...just staring at strike three.

[HarveysWBs]

That one hurts. Sucks if that's it for Braun in Milwaukee.

[MrTPlush]

Tim Hill gets out of it. 5-3 Padres

[bigredrobbo]

"And Braun is done"

 

The last words said about a Braun Brewers at-bat?

Honestly I'm ok with whatever happens. I want to make the playoffs but getting in like this would be an absolute embarrassment and make for a really poor playoff representative.

 

I don't want them insulting our intelligence and telling us what a successful season it was because we made the playoffs when we all saw the product on the field. If we get in, there should be no celebration. Just keep quiet and get ready for the next game.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This team has to swing at more balls than any other team in baseball, right?

You don't need to get Hiura to chase, just throw him cheese right down the middle.

Here's where I'm at with it: If we get in at 29-31, we get the Dodgers. I would love to watch the Brewers stun them in a short series, and make baseball fully come to terms with this cockamamie plan to expand the playoff field. How do they like the idea of the second-biggest market getting bounced by the smallest--when they couldn't even get over .500? That might shut this expansion talk down instantly. Stop screwing with the game, Manfred.

I definitely want the streak to continue and make it 3 straight seasons - however it feels a little wrong to become the only team in MLB history to make the playoffs with a losing record.

Giants would be the first .500 team...so might as well just be the first sub .500 team.

[yourout]

Not that it much matters but houser is a terrible choice right here.

Astros are going to get in at 29-31 as well unless they score six runs in the last few innings today.

The Brewers taking down the Dodgers in the 1st round may singlehandedly doom MLBs hope to expand to 16-team playoff for good. (But with the money involved, probably not)

[Jimbo]

Seems like Gyorko making a lot of nice picks at 1B this season.

Don't worry...the Astros trail in the 8th so they could get in at 29-31 also.

Looks like the Astros are going to get in with a losing record as well, so at least we'll have company (assuming we actually make the playoffs still).

[yourout]

Is that the first triple play of the year for the brewers?

[Eye Black]

Triple play!!!

[HarveysWBs]

Ha, Yadi getting tripled up. You love to see it.

[TURBO]

Triple play.....and why not?
