2017-09-20: Brewers (Wilkerson) at Pirates (Brault) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[Est1970]

Did I see that graphic right? McCutcheon has no homers with the bases loaded? He's never hit a grand slam?

[bucks2281]

Good job by Jeffress getting 5 outs

[BilliamdaIII]

Look...I know he doesn't have a lot of choices right now, but I seriously have to question CC's decision to give Wilkerson his first ML start in the middle of a pennant race. Why would you do that?? It's not like he's some flame throwing phenom...he's a 28 year old, that was working in a grocery store not that long ago. Now granted, neither has been very good, but at least Garza and Guerra have pitched in Major league games before, and Garza has pitched in big games. Not saying they would have done any better, but at this time of the year, in this situation(pennant race), as a manager, I'm going with the experience every time, and see what happens.

 

No win situation.....if he would have started Garza or Guerra and they would have gotten pounded you would have been ripping him for starting them.

 

Can we just stop,second guessing every decision?

Probably just hoping for one of those flukey great first debuts that for some reason tend to happen a lot.

 

Glad we got out of that. Ump wasn't having anything during that AB

[Underachiever]

Rockies lose. Cubs down by 4 and looking like more. And we lay an egg. I know you can't win every game but it seems like every time there's a chance to gain ground they just crap the bed.

8-2 the last ten, gained three games on the Rockies, kept pace with the Cubs, down by a run. That's your definition of crapping the bed?

Well, they were 3 games behind the Rockies 6 days ago, now they're 1 game behind, so they have been gaining ground this last week.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Unless you win 22 in a row, you are playing out the string, apparently...

[markedman5]

Yeah it's certainly ok to be disappointed if we lose but you aren't going to win every game. They have been playing well down the stretch and have given themselves a chance......that's all any of us have the right to expect.

Yes, the way they are playing tonight is crapping the bed.

[buckybrewer232]

Another leadoff runner on and then nothing. This team swings through so many hittable pitches.

[adambr2]

Once again, the leadoff hitter reaches. Once again, the offense chokes it away in miserable fashion.

[MoreTrife]

I expect to win them all!

Obviously it's out of their control...but going 8-2 in a stretch of 10 games should absolutely allow you to gain AT LEAST a game on the team ahead of you. The fact that they not only didn't gain ground, but actually LOST games during a freaking 8-2 stretch is incredibly maddening.

The only team they lost games to during their 8-2 stretch is the Cleveland Indians.

[adambr2]

You can be disappointed with one aspect of the team and not another. I'm very disappointed with the performance of our hitters lately, not disappointed in our pitchers.

[adambr2]

This umpire is an absolute buffoon. Blown balls and strikes aside, then he doesn't give the sign to go to first for Freese on an HBP but when he just goes on his own he says go ahead ?

[Est1970]

Time to get some runs!

[pacopete4]

[sarcasm]Probably should've started Vogt. He wins games.[/sarcasm]

[BuckyBrewer61]

It usually drives me nuts hearing voices in the background in an empty stadium during a game. When those voices are coming from the Brewers dugout (I think), it's pretty fun.

[MoreTrife]

Lead runner...

[MoreTrife]

Annnnd wiped out. Nice.

[BilliamdaIII]

diaz has had some ridiculous throws

[pacopete4]

I'm not opposed to a steal attempt but this guy cant find the zone. Maybe wait a bit?

[WolfPack]

caught stealing at 2nd just before a follow up walk. this is maddening

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Pitcher can't seem to find the zone. Why not just let him move the runner to second on four pitches instead of the steal attempt?

[DocLuna7]

***, diaz has had some ridiculous throws

 

Was the play at second close? Watching on game day
