2021-07-07, Game 1: Brewers (Burnes) at Mets (deGrom) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 8 innings -- Hader blows save for 1st time this season]

[brewers888]

That was predictable.

[stoutdude04]

Welp, that was no fun.

[nate82]

Suter sucks

[JET15]

I’m hoping that Suter can get out of the 8th with a tie.

 

Yeah, our WE dropped to 17% with the bases loaded and no outs... ties would have been real good

[brewers888]

This was a devastating loss.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need at least one more late-inning reliever.

[markedman5]

That one hurts

[BruisedCrew]

This quickly went from what would have been one of the sweetest wins of the season to one of the most bitter defeats.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I really would have gone with Cousins or Sanchez or even Strickland here. Suter just seems an odd choice, even though I like him.

 

Easy to say now, I guess.

[pacopete4]

Too much nibbling.

[wibadgers23]

Counsell continues to put Suter in high leverage situations and he continues to fail.

[brooks_quichenick]

Brutal yet predictable

[brewers888]

Suter cannot be the third option in this bullpen. Strickland should have been pitching that inning.

[Jopal78]

That’s a bad loss.

 

Yeah, too bad the Brewers had all the luck in the game with two homers against DeGrom and a HBP to take the lead, and their bullpen couldn't get it done.

[yfinn6]

Not the least bit shocked.

[mtrebs]

Well, I’m expecting to get swept by NY now. Hopefully it doesn’t carry on and end up being a huge losing streak.

Nah. Plenty of people thought/said it right away.

[adambr2]

I mean, Counsell is aware that we have other strikeout pitchers in our pen besides Hader and Williams, right? What a befuddling choice. There's a time and place for Suter. A 1 run lead with a man on 2nd in a sudden death situation ain't it.

[wOOgiE22]

I’m getting the feeling we are hitting a stretch like early this season. Had a chance to sweep the Dodgers in a 4 game series and got blown out in game 4 and proceeded to go on a losing streak.

[Nola Beery]

It's hard to say Suter disappoints because one expects so little these days. Also, Does Hader turn into a pumpkin after 1 inning?

[JET15]

Don't forget, we had Hader pitching with the lead. We lost it right there in the bottom of the 7th

Hear hear!

What is it to start the inning with a runner on second and no out? Can’t be much higher than 50%.

The good news is the Mets are probably going with a bullpen game for the 2nd one

[StearnsFTW]

That was a gut punch.
