Who cares? These games are virtually meaningless.

 

It’s be nice to be hot going into the post season but maybe this will convince Counsel to rest Boxberger and Cousins a bit in meaningless games so they stay fresh

 

They're going to get meaningful in a hurry if they don't actually win one here in the next few days.

That was a dumb pitch. Why would you throw a fastball? If you walk him you walk him and why was Boxberger throwing the ball over to first? He didn't need to keep the runner close if the runner steals 2B it doesn't really matter as the runner is more than likely going to score on anything hit to the OF anyways with 2-outs. Just dumb all around.

If this continues, they're going to turn into meaningful games.

Why did Counsell take out Houser? 1 ER through 6, and only 83 pitches thrown.

 

Why? /barf

If we lose this game, the games here on out are hardly meaningless. Perhaps somebody hasn't looked at our remaining schedule. After three against the Mets, we close the season with six games against the Cardinals, who we suddenly can't beat, and the Dodgers. All on the road.

 

I've seen this team blow it too many times to think "the division is locked up".

The recent mini slides of Cousins and Boxberger has been met by an offensive slide by nearly every batter. Here's hoping they get this out of their systems before the Playoff push. This can happen in a season. Patience. Patience. Patience. This is the first bad stretch, or adversity-riddled, baseball we've seen since pre-Adames. Let's give them a chance to right their ship.

If the Brewers didn’t have the division locked up this game would be upsetting me.

 

If we lose today, it really is not hard to come up with a scenario that the Cardinals enter the last series against us with control over their own destiny for the division.
