2018-08-12: Brewers (Anderson) at Braves (Newcomb) 12:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-7]

[BruisedCrew]

I think we can put to rest the concept that the Brewers have a good bullpen.

 

3 on the DL would be rough on any team.

 

Sure, but it’s a reality. The bullpen that carried the team in April and May is gone and the team is going to have to find other ways to win. The season long bullpen stats are meaningless going forward.

[Bulldogboy]

This game has the feel of another brutal backbreaking loss. You need to find a way here boys.

[jonescm128]

It's Sunday...we will find a way to lose in some ridiculous fashion. It is kind of already happening. We have 7 runs on 18 hits and have stranded like 13 runners.

[jonescm128]

Oh there we go. We are losing now. WHAT. A. JOKE.

[BruisedCrew]

Another reliever that can’t be counted on.

[PinaMadness]

Jennings you suck.

[82brewcrew82]

You cannot overcome offense like that. This game could be over right there.

Particularly when your pitching is getting ripped.

[PinaMadness]

Pina comes out of the game and everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

[BruisedCrew]

This game has the feel of another brutal backbreaking loss. You need to find a way here boys.

 

Three times in one week to have to hear “Relax, it’s just one game”.

[Bulldogboy]

I mean... Braun said yesterday was a season saver. What does that make a loss today?? Bullpen is on fumes. Good thing A's got Rodney for a bag of donuts.

[MrTPlush]

This team used to be fun to watch. Now they just tick you off more than they win...heck even half the time they win.

[82brewcrew82]

This team used to be fun to watch. Now they just tick you off more than they win...heck even half the time they win.

That is just a matter of perspective. I predicted 77 wins so only 11 more wins to exceed my expectations.

[yfinn6]

Was Perez even running full go there?!

[jason21nl]

Not sure why Perez wasn’t running hard to second.

[jonescm128]

WHAT WAS PEREZ DOING!? He was jogging to second on that 3-2 pitch! Unreal...

[PinaMadness]

Not a great effort by Perez on that steal attempt. At least that's one less LOB.

[BruisedCrew]

Was Perez even running full go there?!

 

It looked like he was looking back at the batter more than trying to get to second as fast as possible.

[phnxcrew]

i can’t believe there’s all this negativity, best team ever!

[Lathund]

18 hits, 4 walks and 2 runners reaching on errors, and it's still going to be a loss isn't it?

[MrTPlush]

That’s why teams don’t hit and run anymore. Should be two on instead it is two outs.

[82brewcrew82]

That should about do it with the bottom of the order up in the 9th. Potentially five back in the loss column by the end of the day and teetering on being out of a playoff spot all together. Not a good spot.

[wildcat83]

Moustakas swinging at ball 4 and 5 doesn’t help

[Bulldogboy]

This team just doesn't run the bases well or hard for that matter except for Cain. Counsell needs to add that to his spring training list.

[PinaMadness]

Barnes gives up a homer for sure.

[jonescm128]

I should honestly just turn this off now. I will be less angry if I don't actually SEE them lose.
