2018-07-11: Brewers (Peralta) at Marlins (Straily) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 in 12 innings]

[wildcat83]

Ran ourselves out of a run.

 

Orf's groundout would have advanced Saladino, who would've scored on the single

[adambr2]

Gee, would love to have 1st and 2nd and 1 out here instead of 2 out and a man on 1st.

[pacopete4]

we really cant lose to this type of baseball team. We will not even compete with the Yanks and Red Sox or Astros

I don't think anyone in the NL can. The ALCS is the de facto World Series this year.

 

Sounds like a perfect reason not to give up top prospects for Machado...

[PinaMadness]

Best record in the NL.

[shanedog19]

We look like dog poop this series.

[Roderick]

Yeah that is crazy. I assume they are trying to jump start Orf by forcing him to swing in a hit and run. Never agreed with that when I was young, don't agree with it still. Just stupid (especially if you figure Saladino was just hit in ankle).

[mtrebs]

Stop walking these guys!!!

[TJH123]

Can’t lose a series to the Marlins, unacceptable

[LouisEly]

On the bright side, perfect time to have the AAA All-Star break. Can call up pitchers who are truly rested as they haven't played since Sunday.

The Red Sox lost a series to the White Sox this year.

 

Good teams lose games in baseball. It happens all the time. It sucks, but it does, and will happen.

Reds have swept the Dodgers and Cubs. As noted, it happens.

So did the Brewers. Things have gone fine since and before then. Sucks, but it happens.

 

Also, this game is far from over.

Well you're taking everything and reducing it to a 7 game series where anything can happen, I don't agree that the AL is a cinch to win it all this year. Actually the NL is finally getting the edge in interleague play this year.

 

Also even if you're talking about just getting to the WS, I would probably give up Woodruff + Phillips + Diplan for instance to make that happen.

 

Regardless this game and one of many stinkfests this year by the offense is not making me want Machado in the lineup less.

[Bulldogboy]

Orf and Keon for that matter both left there bats in Colorado. Not a scary bench right now at all. This compounds the fact our offense stinks.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Alright - top o' the order up, let's get something going here

[wibadgers23]

Either the Marlins are the best 38-56 team ever or we just didn't have it this series.

[Bulldogboy]

Jennings has been good of late. He was on my list to get rid of but he is safe.

[wildcat83]

Big inning here, need some runs with the top of the order.

 

Perfect example of closers not always needed most in the 9th. For the Marlins, this is probably the most important inning to get through.

[Bulldogboy]

Orf making Sogard look like Rod Carew.

[Fear The Chorizo]

There are some really good teams in the AL this year - there are also a bunch of awful teams in that league that are inflating alot of records by just losing to everyone.

 

I hate to remember, but one of the Cards' WS years came after winning only 83 regular season games - and they had a stretch around this time of year where they were routinely getting pasted. Anything can happen in the postseason - gotta get in to win.

[yfinn6]

Thames shouldn't try to steal 2nd base.

[Fear The Chorizo]

here we go...making it interesting!

[adambr2]

Thames is a really underrated guy at the plate.

[wildcat83]

Thames shouldn't try to steal 2nd base.

 

Double steal, they can't throw em both out!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Thames is a really underrated guy at the plate.

 

Great approach and really doesn't give away too many ABs - even when he's not raking he finds a way to get on base plenty
