2020-09-30 (NL Wild Card Series): Brewers (Suter) at Dodgers (Buehler) [Brewers lose, 4-2 -- Suter’s early struggles prove too much for offense to overcome; Yardley and Topa combine on solid effort out of bullpen]

[mtrebs]

Yep, Braun is done

[brewers888]

Great Braun is out of the game.

[Eye Black]

It’s nice to see Yelich get a hit, hopefully not his last of the night.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yardley was the best offseason acquisition. And a waiver claim even.

 

I don't know. David Phelps says "Hold my beer." Not only was Phelps pretty good while he was here, his implosion after he got to the Phillies is probably the reason why the Brewers have a spot in the playoffs.

 

Hahaha. I hadn't thought of it like this. Awesome.

[brewers888]

The amount of injuries the last few days is insane.

[adambr2]

There's a greater than zero chance that Braun has taken his last swing as a Brewer.

[KeithStone53151]

Off the bat, oh man I thought we tied the game...

[Bulldogboy]

Fully expect that to be Braun's last ab of his career. He looks hurt again.

Like I said. Thanks for the memories.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yep, Braun is done

 

I love what Braun brings to this team, but he's held together by paper mache and binder twine at this point in his career. If he's back next year, it needs to be at a substantially reduced salary, and in a reduced role.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Man, Taylor with some good cuts. Just missed a big hit....

I think he’s back next year if there’s a DH.

Yelich batting .333 in the playoffs

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Good AB from Taylor. A good effort from the Crew so far, first inning excepted. Been fun.

[Bulldogboy]

Let him replace Haines.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

These announcers are making it sound like Walker Buehler's blister issue is going to be a career-ender! Sheesh!

[Underachiever]

Gyorko going yard here

[willie key]

This dude strike zone completely changed now

[yourout]

This ump has had a very tight zone all game. It's been the same both ways...

 

Not anymore. How about some consistency blue.

Unfortunately, I don't think he has a role next year given the play of Gyorko and Vogelbach. If the DH stays, it is Vogelbach's job. Gyorko will be cheap at $4+ million to have as a RH 1B ... so I am not sure even if Braun took a big pay cut that he would have a roster spot?... unless he takes a reduction down to like $3 million or something..

[adambr2]

I spent last inning defending you, and then you call that first pitch to Gyorko a strike.

[brewers888]

If Braun wants to come back they will work the money out. He has made his money and if he comes back its because he just wants another chance to win.

[Eye Black]

Via Mike Vassallo...

Nice catch Yelich.

[willie key]

Is it ok to have a healthy hate of max muncy

 

He seems like a chump

[jjfanec]

We are in a playoff game and tops is pitching, Nottingham is catching, taylor is playing rf, and vogelbach is dh. Didn't see that coming 4 weeks ago.
