2018-08-05: Rockies (Gray) at Brewers (Miley) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 in 11 innings]

[OnaBadger58]

Knebel for 2 innings = fail

 

Well Albers, Barnes and Jennings are in the pen. Not a lot of great options there.

 

Yup, I get it...

 

I see no reason Hader is unavailable today. We baby him way too much imo.

Hader already pitched....

[TURBO]

He already pitched today...

 

oops, my bad... missed a few innings.

 

sorry.

[tmwiese55]

I saw no one complaining about leaving Knebel in until after the HR happened.

Agree. He looked really good against the first two hitters.

[TURBO]

still not complaining.

Given the options in the pen I don't have an issue with it. He got behind in the count and had to throw fastballs. Sometimes the batter wins

[MoreTrife]

How many chances is Schoop going to get to come through. Gotta come through on one.

sorry.

Little harder to argue taking Knebel out when you know who's available.

[tmwiese55]

Kratz play the hero again? No way right. he has hit the ball well a few times today though

[TURBO]

Can we expect Kratz and Arcia to deliver 2 times in a row?

[wildcat83]

Double steal, Shaw hasn't sprinted yet today he's fresh!

[TURBO]

Kratz is all about the hustle! Gotta give him that, he's a gamer.

[kybrewerfan]

Ballgame over

[tmwiese55]

Should've ran through the pitcher, ball flys away and run scores. #grit

[TURBO]

darn it.

[MoreTrife]

Double play.

[MoreTrife]

There aren't kids on brewerfan, we need swearing.

[adambr2]

Kratz is freaking worthless.

[wildcat83]

Just run through the base.

 

A lot of odd things in the last 3 innings, but if Shaw runs out the play in the 9th this could have been won then. Never know for sure, but no reason to not hustle.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Granted the call was right. I can’t stand replay. Takes so much fun and excitement away...

[adambr2]

Kind of deflating to come back for nothing.

[LouisEly]

At least they didn't blow it like the Cubs did today - tied after seven, gave up one in the 8th and four in the 9th.

 

The Cubs are not invincible.

[brewmann04]

the brewers pitchers have seemed to give up alot of Homers lately.

[OldHeidelberg]

What a let down, I remember back in May when we hit our peak a lot of the predictor models said we would regress. Here we are 2+ months later and I am starting to believe that maybe we are really just a .500 team that just got off to a hot start. I know we are still in wildcard position but getting discouraged by the treading water we have been doing. Oh well, like I said earlier it's only one game but this felt like a key one going forward. Overreacting at a down point I am sure but we are going to battle for the wildcard right to the end IMO, wish we wouldn't have made the Schoop trade.

Don't like it the NFL and don't like it here, plenty of champions were crowned before it existed, not sure what the obsession is with it. It's just a game.
