ouch

[Menotti80]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

[pebadger]

I really have no idea how that got out.

[ninja33]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

yep, you're going to get ridiculed. and deserve it.

[Schlitz001]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

Yup, that's the season. Pack it in boys.

[moofnelson]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

[stoutdude04]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

Garcia certaintly settled down after we let him off the hook in the 1st.

 

[dlk9s]

I don't think anyone has a higher meatball-to-homer ratio than Grienke. He never gets away with one.

[Oldcity]

He hasn't thrown a strike to the pitcher yet.

[dlk9s]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

Because we have better pitchers than the Cardinals.

[burnzy24]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

A 2 run lead, with Garcia struggling? Come on...

[cnycerveceros]

Not really that upset about that inning. I don't know why.

it's really unbelievable. even the meatballs that don't get hit hard seem to carry out.

[MillerBombers]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

The one thing we have a clear advantage in this series is running our mouth. Otherwise these two teams are pretty evenly matched.

[Oldcity]

If the roof is closed that barely makes the warning track.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Just get at least one back this inning.

[Schlitz001]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

Because our pitching has been better all season. You can't use a few bad postseason starts and assume the pitching has been bad all year. The pitching is how we got here in the first place. And don't forget that the Cardinals are a really good hitting team.

[moofnelson]

Now we'll just start hacking at everything.

[MillerBombers]

Here we go, lets swing at stuff outside of the zone.

[B2k1121]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

A 2 run lead, with Garcia struggling? Come on...

 

He's not struggling at all.

[Oldcity]

Lucroy is completely lost at the plate.

I never said the Brewers pitching was bad all year. But, besides Yo, who has been pitching consistenly well the last month?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Well so much for an answer back inning. Dreadful bottom of the order today.

[moofnelson]

The Brewers needed a lights out performance by Greinke. He's the highest paid pitcher on the team. They didn't get it. They spotted him a 4-1 lead against the Dbacks. He couldn't hold it. Discouraging.

[sargennm]

This is depressing. Of course it's a bottom if the order guy that hurts them.
