2017-09-30: Brewers (Guerra) at Cardinals (Weaver) 3:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-6; eliminated, but not until game 161]

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.

 

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

Yes it should, but more often than not it's been the offense that has mailed it in after an early lead thinking their job was done.

So do they run out a Sunday Special lineup and sit the starters tomorrow?

Well, down to our last out. How bittersweet.

[topper09er]

OK, gotta steal early in the count.

[pacopete4]

Only question now is will our season end on a caught stealing.

[rcc]

Who is this Garcia!

I don't think they mail it in, they just have a devil of a time scoring runs without hitting dingers.

[AKCheesehead]

Come on Brett

[rcc]

Still alive!

[Pugger]

One more strike...

[Pugger]

Good lord...a stolen base here?

[PinaMadness]

Just get a hit. Please.

[Pugger]

Darn

[pacopete4]

Good season but this still sucked the way it ended. Just always seems to be something.

[PinaMadness]

Season ends on a strikeout. Fitting.

[Pugger]

I hate the Cardinals.

[topper09er]

Well tip of the hat to Phillips for taking the 0-2 pitch, maybe that is a preview of better approaches next year

[young guns]

Whelp. Watch colorado lose the next 2 now.

Whelp. Watch colorado lose the next 2 now.

 

They will

[Pugger]

It shouldn't have come down to this. We played stupidly after the ASG.

Hope you are reimbursing the guys for those extra bag fees, Craig.

Haha thanks for posting this. Made me laugh and that is definitely needed right now.

[topper09er]

Now that there is no more pressure and no more ability to choke they will put up 10 runs tomorrow

[Pugger]

It was a fun season and we have a lot to look forward to in 2018. Even if we lose again tomorrow we'll still be ahead of those damn Cardinals in the standings.

Opponent wins in what ends up being their final at-bat vs our bullpen. Story of our season.
