2017-09-19: Brewers (Anderson) at Pirates (Williams) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers record 81st win, 1-0]

[TURBO]

This team is a joke. With an enormous payroll and all stars at every position, we've stumbled to an embarrassing 80-70 record and are on a slide, having lost two of their last 10 games... what a pathetic display... how does Counsell still have a job?

 

The point in your sarcasm doesn't fall on deaf ears, however, excusing a manager who makes questionable decisions on a daily basis, does not take away the fact that he is still making those dumb decisions to the detriment of the team.

 

I get it, we are far better than anyone thought, but that doesn't excuse anyone for hurting our chances.

[TURBO]

You also keep saying Santana was benched, when he was not. All managers make mistakes, can we wait until CC makes one before we jump all over him?

 

"keep" saying implies that I have said it more than once... I said it once, and was unaware he was having back issues, I stand corrected.

He's made numerous mistakes already. Did you not see the Reds series a couple weeks ago?

Awesome that the game thread gets ruined on a daily basis. Playoff push and there's like 3 pages of petty crap that goes back and forth. Make a point and move on. Stop freaking out and repeating yourself 100 times.

The fact they're 80-70 just might suggest most of the decisions you think are dumb probably are not?

[pacopete4]

What a hose that was. Wow. (Tips the cap)

Or, using that logic, they could be 85 - 65 if those dumb decisions weren't made...

High horse?

 

Pretty sure you have ruined your share of threads with petty crap yourself.

Just saw the Thames challenge. Have no idea how that call was blown. Clearly hit the line.

A wise man once said: "This is A message board, it's called discussion."

[PinaMadness]

Perhaps more of us would talk more about the game if there was anything remotely noteworthy going on right now.

right?

 

it's a head scratcher for certain.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Rays finally get a hit, and it's a dinger! Small victories these days against the Cubs...

[AdvantageSchneider]

Can someone please start a petty crap thread so we can have the game thread to just talk about the game?

That seems like the New York ump was protecting his boys on the field. After the play Gerry Davis had a look on his face like, "I'm pretty sure I just blew that call."

Plenty to talk about. Plenty.

[PinaMadness]

Anderson saved Vogt the humiliation of throwing a wet noodle to second.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Could really use one of those dumb baserunning moves right now, like an attempted double steal or something.

[stoutdude04]

Ugh. Trying to keep him close cuz Vogt can't make a throw to 2nd and now Marte is on and most likely taking 2nd within a few pitches.

[tmwiese55]

Well discussion of the lineup is definitely part of the game. Sorry for defending the manager of our massively overachieving team and just not thinking that every little thing is a huge deal.

 

Yea this is crunch time hear. one run at most please. Heart of the order too

Holy cow. Stop. Can I get mod status so I can get this crap the heck out of here? Make Brewersfan.net great again!! This place is just straight up turds lately.

No. Posts like you keep doing are dragging this place to its grave. It's pathetic.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Huge K of McCutcheon, lucky on that first pitch fastball over the middle to Bell...
