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

[MrTPlush]

As ugly as this game has been we are a homer from a tie.

[HarveysWBs]

That seemed about right.

[sdcheezhd]

Next scrub up, Emilio Pagan for the Padres

 

Good news, at least I've heard of him. Bad news, he sucks.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

And all eyes turn to the bay...

[timpep]

Pretty fitting end to the game. Can't wait for Garcia to be gone.

[TURBO]

Would be nice to get the tying run to the plate...Garcia is way past due...

 

a fitting end to the game with Garcia.

 

Dude hasn't impressed this year at all.

[BruisedCrew]

As ugly as this game has been we are a homer from a tie.

 

And nowhere near anyone who is capable of hitting one.

[MrTPlush]

Padres get out of 8th on a gift strike three and a quick fly ball.

[yourout]

It wouldn't be limping into the playoffs they'd be being rolled in in a wheelchair with an oxygen bottle.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, Pagan got it done. I'll say this: If the Giants get one, I hope they get two. The theatrics of extra innings deciding this things would be too much.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I mean on one hand the brewers and Astros are the (potential) first ever teams to make the playoffs with sub .500 records but this is also the first season where more than half the teams make the playoffs so....

Certainly not good enough to be a big league starter.

Would be okay as a backup outfielder

[MrTPlush]

For what it is worth the Giants have 3/5 of their runs given up unearned. Ouch

[BruisedCrew]

For as far below expectations that Garcia has been performed, the worst has been providing no HR power. His past record suggests that he could have at least provided more than at least 5 HRs.

He has performed not all that far off career norms. He just isn’t that good.

[TURBO]

Yup, had he jacked as many homers as Gyroko, it would be easier to take... 2 homers in 60 games? Not gonna cut it.

 

I pray they can trade him, but I see almost zero chance of that happening.

[PinaMadness]

What if Cain had not opted out of the season?

[TURBO]

What if Cain had not opted out of the season?

 

Well, you have to think we would have won one more game, right?

[yourout]

I would have thought having Ben Gamel pinch hit with the right hander throwing would have made sense there.

[TURBO]

I would have thought having Ben Gamel pinch hit with the right hander throwing would have made sense there.

 

ummmmmmmm

[adambr2]

So if the Brewers back into the playoffs with a losing record in a 60-game season, does the champagne fly?

 

Absolutely not, you get cheap grape juice at the very most.

[MrTPlush]

I would have thought having Ben Gamel pinch hit with the right hander throwing would have made sense there.

 

Maybe, but Counsell had already checked out of the game. Looked defeated while the game was still going. Kind of a crap look for him as the manager.

[MrTPlush]

Here we go, bottom of the 9th.

 

Crawford

Bart

Slater

[BruisedCrew]

8 big games in the final week and the Brewers manage a total of 18 runs, and several of those were garbage runs in the ninth inning of lost games.

He had a really bad season. I don't think even his biggest supporters will deny that he just didn't do a very good job this year.
