All this "game's over" stuff is getting ridiculous. With the season they're having, so little faith. As Coach Cooper always said in more colorful language "We blew it??!!? Forget that, were going to pour it on!!"

 

 

It isn’t over with yet

See.... now I'm pretty comfortable with Box or even Sanchez closing it out.

Sanchez already pitched. But yeah, if you thought the Brewers were going to score 3 runs in the top of the 10th against Reyes then throwing Hader in the 9th is a genius move.

 

Without hindsight, it was the right move. If it was 6-7-8 hitters, I'd agree that saving Hader is the right call, but facing Goldy, Arenado, and O'Neill, I don't want someone else out there. You can't pitch the 10th if you don't make it.

That right there is why the "is Christian Yelich the new Chris Davis" was a stupid argument. Even when he isn't hitting home runs, Yelich brings many more baseball attributes to the table. Davis does not.

Well to be fair, Chris Davis was a more accomplished pitcher than Yelich.

Not just “at Night” anymore.

Yes, as I mentioned earlier I agree that the spot in the order makes a difference, and as you noted it was the Cardinals best hitters due up.

Anyone else switch to a VPN with MLB app?

We dumped charter and that was my only option for the Brewers on TV

 

You dumped Charter in a pennant race?!?

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

After four Internet outages in the last 2 months that cost my wife work time I had had enough. Especially after the guy went through our backyard at 6:30 pm unannounced in the evening and put a line trap on us without telling anybody and it took 3 days to get internet service back.

I do you like YouTube TV except I can't get FSN
