2018-05-25: Mets (Syndergaard) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, 10 innings; Shaw w/ walk-off walk]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

For cripes sakes Knebel ... that guy is a scrub.

[PinaMadness]

I'm sorry but Knebel can't be trusted to protect a one run lead in the ninth. His track record says so.

[markedman5]

Walks will kill you.

 

Tough to be perfect every time. Corey just didn't have it tonight

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Something has been off with Knebel all season. The question is how long do we let it drag on? Another season this would sound reactionary but the pen is too good to let him figure it out. He's played his way out of closer.

 

Hader can't be moved but Jeffress is pitching like a closer.

[xisxisxis]

Get the first two outs, then crap your pants!??!!

 

At least there's a chance we end the top of the ninth tied...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I'm sorry but Knebel can't be trusted to protect a one run lead in the ninth. His track record says so.

 

His track record of 39 saves last year? Or is it the 1.78 ERA last year that says that?

 

Come on man. Yeah, he didn't have it tonight, but that is a pretty big stretch for an "I told you so."

[TURBO]

...but Jeffress is pitching like a closer.

 

This.

 

There is no more waiting, if someone can't do their job, let someone else do it.

[wildcat83]

Walks will kill you.

The last 3 close/late inning losses have started with a walk. Walks will kill you is right.

[TURBO]

Closers shouldn't get the chance to walk 3... After 2, time for a change.

[PinaMadness]

Manny Pina is a good catcher. I don't see why we need to consider him as anything other than our starting catcher for the remainder of this year.

 

He is quickly becoming one of my favorite Brewers.

THIS!!!!!!

[YelichPosse]

Somebody call out Braun for sucking this year.

So he can hit the walk off HR

[MrTPlush]

Why do we even have a specified closer? I said it when he came back and they labeled him the closer...why? Why does he sit for days waiting for that one opportunity? Just pitch the best dude in the pen. Jeez.

Pretty sure he was referring to this years results

[MrTPlush]

I’d talk smack about Braun, but he will obviously come through here so we forget how much he sucks for the next two weeks cause of that one big hit.

[xisxisxis]

Closers shouldn't get the chance to walk 3... After 2, time for a change.

 

But it clearly states in the Managers Handbook that a Closer, closes games....

 

Unfortunately the edition CC has was cowritten by Ned Yost and RRR...

[Eye Black]

Shaw!!!!! Great start to the bottom of the 9th!

10 appearances total, with a 5-week injury absence in between? I sure hope not.

Yeah, but he also blew alot of one run saves. Give him two or more and he's lights out.

[jason21nl]

Solid start to the inning!

[wildcat83]

Shaw stays hot, need Santana to at least move him over.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, gift strikeout

 

Still, too close to take.

[MrTPlush]

Santana doesn’t want to swing a bat and win it.

[YelichPosse]

SWING THE BAT

[PinaMadness]

Wow, they're walking Braun for Pina? Somebody tell the Mets it's not 2011 anymore.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Hey Domingo. That bat on the shoulder is used to hit baseballs.
