Potential difference in the game will be the Brewers lineup doing nothing with the bases loaded in Inning 1 with no outs vs. the Phillies doing the opposite

You could probably cut and paste this all year

[brewers888]

just bad luck this whole inning. If we lose this is on the pitiful offense.

[brewers888]

Time to shut this one off

[BruisedCrew]

Amazing what hits with runners in scoring position can do.

[HarryDoyle]

At least the Bucks are destroying the Bulls.

[yourout]

At least they won't burn Hader in a loss.

[wOOgiE22]

Should have left Ashby in. Still don’t trust Box in these situations.

Nah you are overreacting the offense is fine.

He's mostly pitched well for the Brewers but I've never trusted him.

This team still can't hit. Your bullpen will blow games and Ashby didn't pitch terribly but there were opportunities to blow the game open (first damn inning) and they failed yet again. 

 

I swear, a team could beat this Brewer team by walking the first 3 hitters in the game and let the 4-5-6 hitters fail and the rest of the game the lineup goes into the tank, 

[willie key]

This series might get ugly.   It would have been nice to steal a game scoring two runs.     But at some point you need to hit like professional baseball players.  

[Brewcrew82]

Knebel owes us. 2 runs should cover it.

Remember how brutal the trip out to Philly was last year early in the year? Felt like they scored 2 runs in 3 games.

[Eye Black]

Knebel has pitched an inning in each of his 5 appearances this year and has thrown more than 13 pitches just once. That's pretty efficient. 

[folly412]

Should convince Braun to come back just for the series in Philadelphia each year.  He would have produced 5 runs on his own.

[Eye Black]

I know it's easier said than done, but if you're ever going to take one in the thigh for the team that was probably the opportunity for Caratini. 

[Eye Black]

Death by paper cuts was a good way to describe this one. 

[yfinn6]

Frustrating.

[titletownking]

This offense definitely needs another bat. It’s especially clear when you watch Philly’s lineup Vs ours. Urias and another good bay would put us over the edge IMO. 

[willie key]

It’s pretty obvious that the brewers formula is to win these late one run games with a dominant bullpen

devyn being terrible is going to hurt this team more than any other teams late inning guys

 

he needs to pull his head out of his you know what

[wOOgiE22]

For a small market you don’t get pitching like this very often and the window is short before they are gone.  Just feel like it will be wasted again unless Stearns can get in a bat or two by the deadline.

Unfortunately I think hitting is the rarer commodity in baseball right now. Pitch labs, velocity, extreme shifting, and the new baseball not carrying at all so far this year.

Not sure there will be an impact bat on the trade market.  Right now the best you could do is Conforto or Gallo.

I don’t see anyone signing Conforto until after the draft.  No one is giving up a draft pick for Conforto especially with the season Conforto had last year.

Yelich and Conforto had similar seasons last year.  Conforto probably projects as .250/.350/.470 type of a player.  Which is basically Renfroe.

Optimistic thinking when >50% of your starting lineup has a BA below the Mendoza line. Like previously stated it is far too late to build your offense on the fly during the season. That needed to be done during the off season. If Mark wants a WS winner in Milwaukee he is going to have to spend a lot more money than he is now. Otherwise he is just spinning his wheels. It’s just a damn shame for Brewer fans to string them along like this. Attanasio has no motivation to spend more money with the profits he is pulling in.

[wibadgers23]

Our offense is absolutely no match against Philly’s offense. It’s almost comical.
