Anyone who stayed to the end deserves a medal or something.

3 games to 500/a non winning season.

I was just thinking anyone who shows up for fan appreciation night this year needs to be handed a stack of cash.

[Pugger]

This stretch could really hurt the franchise...ticket sales have to be rough with the casual fan over the off season. I know I'm disgusted, and I'm a diehard...the casual fan will just tune out.

 

I didn't get home until the 7th inning. What was the crowd like when the game started?

 

I have never witnessed a stretch of baseball like this in my life. I just feel numb. I've been saying for a handful of days now it will be miracle if we win more than a half a dozen games before this season is mercifully over. If any of these coaches return in 2015 I will not get MLB Extra Innings next season.

Ridiculous

we still are in the chase LOL

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

RR is gone

[Pugger]

RR is gone

 

You can almost see it in his face lately. He looks funereal.

[SeriesFinale]

The real kicker for me is this one lasted past Midnight EST.

[trwi7]

The Brewers are to baseball what A.J. Hawk and Brad Jones are to ILBs.

[bucks2281]

The Brewers would have to go 8-5 over their next 13 games to match the futility of the 2011 Braves, who choked away an 8.5 game wild card lead over a month. And that was considered one of the worst collapses in baseball history.

[brewmann04]

and he could take some of these chump players.

[Baldkin]

Leaving, I saw a guy in a Mota jersey. The irony of it almost made me cry. Bases loaded no outs.....

WSSP postgame show running Free Fallin' as the theme music tonight. Lol

"We just haven't gotten that big hit" said Roenicke in the post-game interview

 

Y'think?!!!

I know they are terrible, but you're being a bit hard on Hawk and Jones.

Roenicke's "big hit" should be a small pink slip.

I was thinking the same thing.

No, RRR. Your starting pitching has taken a dump in the last 20 games. I truly don't understand this - the numbers are there for anybody with access to a computer. I don't know if there was a follow up, but that should have been the question. And we've put our best starting pitching prospect in the bullpen so Matt Garza can go 4 innings.

[3and2Fastball]

....we've put our best starting pitching prospect in the bullpen so Matt Garza can go 4 innings.

 

Garza is a veteran leader who displays heart & toughness

Garza is a veteran leader who displays heart & toughness

And grit.

[The stache]

Every man wearing a Milwaukee Brewers uniform, from the manager on down to the ball boy/girl, should feel absolutely embarrassed to be a part of this pathetic team.

Jimmy Nelson flat-out stinks right now. He has a 2-7 record, has an ERA that keeps rising, hasn't won any of his last 6 starts and only once in his past 10, has made it through 6 innings once in his last 4 starts . . . and you think it's a problem he's in the bullpen? Really?

 

He may well be part of the rotation picture next year and for quite some time after that, but I don't want to see him start another game this year. Sure, he pitches longer than 4 innings - by 1 or 2 if he lasts that long. But lately he also gives up as many or more runs than Garza did tonight, which helps nothing.

 

Garza was far from good tonight. But tonight's loss had nothing to do with the starting pitching. This one's entirely on horrible clutch hitting and K-Rod.

[TGOTJ]

Well, yeah. The past 20 games have been completely on the starting pitching. It's really not a debatable point - it's right there for everyone to see. I'm making a larger point. $50 MILLION to Garza instead of developing your own pitching - your mileage may vary. I think Nelson will be more valuable in the next three years than Garza - you may think differently. I hope we're both right.
