2021-09-21: Cardinals (Woodford) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 2-1 -- Crew offense continues to struggle, Solid Woodruff start goes for naught]

[wOOgiE22]

The Brewers need runners now. Stop trying to go for the freaken fence and work the pitchers.

[PinaMadness]

At least Yelich finally swung at the first pitch.

[brewers888]

If this cardinals team wins the world series I just might have to walk away from the sport.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Cards play real baseball; we pitch and watch and moan. 2-0 might as well be 20-0.

 

LOL ... the Cardinals were a mediocre MLB baseball team up till 2 weeks ago.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Because why would we pitch Williams in a 1-0 game that is kinda important?

 

 

Jake Cousins hasn't exactly been terrible.

 

And we're up 10.5 games. This game isn't *that* important.

 

It sure as heck is to the Reds and Phillies.

 

 

I don't care about the Reds or Phillies. I don't think their fate is important enough to think that using Jake Cousins in a one run game is a wrong decision.

[brewers888]

I know the odds are still heavily in our favor but its not stopping the panic in me.

You ain’t kidding. To say I would be sick would be putting it lightly. Still don’t see them beating the dodgers.

[sixtolezcano16]

Don’t worry, be happy. We’re 9.5 games up.

[titletownking]

That’s why Vogelbach made the team and not Shaw. Great at bat.

[brewers888]

For the most part the offense has been good since we traded for Adames but they go through stretches where they look unbelievably bad.

I get your point. But the winning formula all year has been Box, Williams and Hader in these situations. I guess I don't understand why they would be switching it up now.

[BruisedCrew]

I see Counsell in the dugout and the postgame press conference last night and his body language isn’t saying “no worries, we’ve got this locked up”.

 

He’s seeing their plan for resting players and managing pitchers’ innings for two weeks go down the drain.

 

I don’t think he wants to go on the road next week to play the Cards and Dodgers with the division not locked up yet anymore than I want to see it.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I know the odds are still heavily in our favor but its not stopping the panic in me.

 

There is definitely not any reason to panic. I'm just frustrated.

[HarveysWBs]

So dang close…

[Eye Black]

Alright Kolten… man just missed, but still a huge hit.

[BruisedCrew]

Hey, runners in scoring position.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Now for gosh sakes, do something with it!

[brewers888]

We needed that one to get out.

[wibadgers23]

If we bow out early in the playoffs, it’ll be because of our offense. No question in my mind.

[Eye Black]

As bad as this game has stunk to this point, it would be pretty sweet to pull it out late.

[wOOgiE22]

Of course that would be off the wall.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I get the frustration, but we've been playing good ball up until (literally) two days ago. It's important to remember that even really good teams are gonna have tough stretches of baseball. We're not a bad offense, or pathetic, or anything else. It's just a tough couple games that I'd rather see now than in the LDS or LCS.

[brewers888]

Now they pinch run for Vogelbach. Might have wanted to do that before the Wong double.

[Eye Black]

That would’ve been a good pinch hit decision one batter earlier.

[BruisedCrew]

Come on Willy, don’t be afraid to hit the ball to right.
