2021-10-11 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Peralta) at Braves (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[Bravos Or Bust]

Guys. I really hope you don't hear this as me being patronizing...

 

I'm sorry. That sucks in playoff baseball. We've been there so many times.

[MrTPlush]

Good job Counsell, now we have lackluster pitching and hitting for the rest of the day.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Good AB by Wong so far. He seems to be seeing it well. Now smack one to RF down the line.

 

Welp .... stupid Freddie Freeman playing the line.

[adambr2]

So you sacrificed your starter who was dealing after 4 innings and still got jack out of it.

 

Great job, Counsell. Great job, Brewers offense.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I've seen enough.

 

Devin got drunk on Jobu's rum.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It's the 5th inning. Let Freddy stand there. You PH in the 7th, not there. Hate the call but of course our execution is even worse. As many said the offense is going to kill this team. They're good enough to go really far if having a good stretch, but when they are bad they make games virtually unwinnable.

 

You can hang this on CC if we blow it in the next 2 innings. Of course if we score 0 again, I could have thrown a complete game and given up 30 runs.

[HarveysWBs]

They make no contact, weak contact, and hard contact. Doesn’t matter. Cruel game.

[owbc]

Trying to come up with a silver lining...Anderson looked vulnerable, some good ABs that inning. Pitching needs to put up more zeros.

[Nola Beery]

Maybe we are due for some "cheap" hits; whenever we spank one it goes right at someone. Tough inning not to score.

[BruisedCrew]

Good AB by Wong so far. He seems to be seeing it well. Now smack one to RF down the line.

 

Swinging at ball 4 wasn’t so good.

[bucks2281]

There’s obviously concern that this decision trickles into tomorrow, as well.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So you sacrificed your starter who was dealing after 4 innings and still got jack out of it.

 

Great job, Counsell. Great job, Brewers offense.

 

Very questionable decision making there. But gah is this offense tough to watch. My fortune for a couple guys who can put good contact on the ball.

[adambr2]

Trying to come up with a silver lining...Anderson looked vulnerable, some good ABs that inning. Pitching needs to put up more zeros.

 

They had second and third with nobody out when they've been scoring nothing and they came up completely empty. There is no silver lining. They could just as easily go down 1-2-3 next inning.

[phnxcrew]

Ned yost thinks this offense is just fine. It’ll be just fine.

The silver lining it our bullpen is still very strong, Anderson looked shaky and is up to 84 pitches through 5, and we had a fair amount of better atbats there...also we've generally had better atbats against the braves bullpen arms

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That falls into the category of baseball is cruel.

 

What more can Cain and Wong do there? And Vogelbach put a ball in play on a tough pitch.

 

I understand going for the PH. It's a close call, but Bogey is your best shot to score a run.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

No way Counsell does that with either Burnes or Woodruff yet both are worse the 3rd time through the order than Peralta.

[jason21nl]

I wish I could be a silver lining type of person. But I’m not. That was awful.

[KeithStone53151]

Of course Joc is ph after swanson, hit the hr off houser game 1.

[dlk9s]

I'm fine with the move. The offense has been terrible and even one run could win it. You have Houser who can pitch the rest of the game if need be. Just didn't work out.

[adambr2]

The baseball Gods making Counsell pay dearly for his poor managing.

[shanedog19]

I've seriously never seen a team struggle to plate runs like this team is experiencing. Just crazy.

[nate82]

Swinging at ball 4 wasn’t so good.

 

Angel Hernandez CB Bucknor is that you?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well ... this was predictable.

Houser has given up more hard contact in 2 ABs than Peralta did in 4 innings.

Sure wish Peralta was still pitching. Don't know how anyone can be ok with this.
