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

[mtrebs]

Hey, we got a run!

[Baldkin]

Come on Barrelman

[TURBO]

Well, Vogelbach at least scored a run there, I'm not certain anyone else would have been able to put the ball in play...

[MrTPlush]

Honestly if we failed to score there I was ready to go cheer for the Giants/Phillies to win.

[BruisedCrew]

I guess I’m in the minority on bringing in Williams there. Peralta is a strike out pitcher himself and if he can get out of that inning with just 1 run (or even 2) it isn’t so bad and you’ve got a pitcher who should be able to go multiple innings in the game.

 

It all comes back to having such a horrible offense that you have to feel like you’re out of the game trailing 1 or 2 to nothing.

 

Second and third with nobody out and scoring just one run (but feeling lucky to get that) says a lot about this offense.

[TURBO]

K - Hiura, doing his thing.

Still might as well, because there's a lot better chance of us getting in that way than wining this game.

[yourout]

The Gyrko strikeout probably cost them a run

But again, Peralta hasn't pitched in a week.

 

I think it is completely justifiable to expect a rusty appearance from Freddy there, and bringing him in with a runner at 3B is just asking for it.

 

It isn't like he is coming in on normal rest and mental prosperity. He was inactive for a week, and his mind was more than likely on his new born and wife most of that week.

 

I stand by my complaint, Peralta should not have been used with a runner on 3B and no outs. That was an obvious Williams situation.

[Brewce]

That half inning of 2nd and 3rd no outs and only scoring one is a microcosm of the season. If someone other than Vogelbach could just put the ball in play.

In a normal game, I’d agree with you. In this scenario I’d want my best pitcher in there period. Peralta could have come in for multiple innings after that. Him not pitching for 10 days and just coming back from becoming a father left too many questions in the air for how he’d pitch in that situation.

[TURBO]

Man I hate Harrison Bader.

[yourout]

It's inexcusable the Peralta is still out there.

He should have been gone as soon as Molina walked

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Peralta starting that inning is bad.

[trwi7]

We're going to back into the playoffs because the Giants and Phillies suck just a little bit more and in the case of the Giants play in a better division.

[willie key]

I like counsell but I’ve had enough of him this year

 

 

He was just terrible this year

[TURBO]

Freddy needs to come out now... Down 4 seems insurmountable, down 5+ and this is O-V-E-R!

[MrTPlush]

Aaron Nola got chased after 3.2 innings. Phillies have a lot of bullpen innings and are down 3-0 as is.

[mtrebs]

With that Bader home run, I’m done. Even though this year was bizarre and I assumed the Brewers would lose their first postseason series, I still hoped for them to make it for them to be in the post-season three years in a row for the first time in franchise history.

[trwi7]

With that Bader home run, I’m done. Even though this year was bizarre and I assumed the Brewers would lose their first postseason series, I still hoped for them to make it for them to be in the post-season three years in a row for the first time in franchise history.

 

If games just stopped now they would still be in.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

At this point I feel like CC is just trying to make as many mid-inning pitching changes as possible on the off chance the other games finish while this one is in like the 6th and Arcia can pitch.

[adambr2]

It doesn't really matter who pitches now. We are not scoring 6 runs.

[willie key]

Biggest game of the year and we are going to get ten runned

 

Come on

I hope they still do, and I’ll watch. I just can’t watch more of this game.

 

Although, I’ll still probably peek in once in a while...

And I stand by my position. Williams comes in and strikes out the side, and you still have 6 innings to fill. The fact that Peralta was the choice says something about the other options.

 

Maybe Yardley or Knebel if the goal is to try to get out of the third inning, but not Williams who you know you’re going to need if you have a chance to win at the end.
