Same ****, different day.

[trwi7]

Braun overrunning that sums up his defense.

[PinaMadness]

Correction, If we don't take the lead in the ninth, our season is effectivly over.

[AKCheesehead]

I hate the cardinals.

[AZBrewCrew]

Foxtrot Mike Lima.

And there’s the Cardinal kick to the nuts to all Brewers fans.

[AZBrewCrew]

Hate to admit that I called it.

The defense in the 3rd really stings now

[jerichoholicninja]

I've never seen a team blow so many games they should have easily won. Just pathetic and embarrassing.

[topper09er]

As usual a bunch of choking costs us. 2-10 with RISP.

 

The fact that CC is not going to Knebel here is inexcusable. Torres? Can someone tell CC if we lose this game the season is over.

[DuWayne Steurer]

This game was 6-0 at one point with the entire season on the line, and they're going to lose.

 

I could handle it if the Rockies won and clinched, but being eliminated like this is like getting kicked in the junk.

[TooLiveBrew]

So your season is on the line, Swarzak has been executing poorly,, & you DON'T go get your absolute best RP?

 

Overall I've been happy with Counsell on balance, but that's inexcusable to just stick with Swarzak.

[PinaMadness]

I hate the cardinals.

For once this isn't about the Cardinals. This is about another Brewers failure to stomp on someone's neck and put away a team. Sitting on early leads and losing them late is the summary of the 2017 Brewers.

When Swarzak walked his first guy, he should have been done. The entire bullpen decision-making has been garbage all year.

Who's going to close if you use Knebel, asks Buck Showalter.

[topper09er]

I just cannot get over how stupid CC is, he is managing this game like a random May game trailing in the 8th. My God, how could you bring in Torres here

[pacopete4]

Yep. This is it for me. If the Rockies won tonight it wouldn’t really be much of anything but to flat out choke away this game? So Brewers baseball.

[adambr2]

I'm proud of the team for the season they had, but brutally disappointed in the way they went out, pissing away a 6 run lead against their most hated opponent.

 

Sums up their season, they showed a stat early on today of the % of team losses were leads that were blown, and the Brewers were 60 some percent, I mean the #2 team wasn't even close.

[rcc]

Now Torres is expected to stop the bleeding. 7 runs this inning while the bullpen implodes. Just like the beginning of the year.

A 6 run lead should be enough for the pitching to hold.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, on the bright side, the nerves of waiting for the inevitable end can stop. This was a really good year for this team, and maybe they have one comeback left.

 

How about Phillips home run to put them back on top?

[Pugger]

Our chances of getting into the post season with having to win out plus get some help were pretty damn slim going into this weekend. Not being able to get a key hit and manufacture runs was our Achilles' Heel all season long. It is hard to win when you leave 10 guys on base over 8 innings.

god, no kidding.

 

"But, but, 8th Inning Guy™..."

[rcc]

Braun took care of that shot, otherwise Torres would have let them add to the lead.

 

That's something from Braun I suppose.

[Polish Falcons]

Not over yet. Brewers can get at Nicasio.
