2018-09-01: Brewers (Anderson) at Nationals (Strasburg) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 -- Lead Blown in 8th Inning After Two Hour Rain Delay]

[rickh150]

Who was pitching the 9th? That guy, whomever it was, should have been pitching when things got hot in the 8th.... Jeffress and Hader had to have been shut down. Huge mystery who was getting the save opp if we had the lead in the 9th.

[MoreTrife]

I have a lot of rage in me right now.

[pacopete4]

I think I’m ready for Knebel to be back.

[TURBO]

How can anyone defend CC anymore? How many times in the past month is this.... It's cost us 5-6 games literally in the past month.

 

No it hasn't, someone will throw some ridiculous stat at you for saying that, proving you are wrong, even though we all know that you are correct.

[adambr2]

I wish they'd invent teleportation quick so I can get to Washington and shut that bratty kid up...

 

I wish they'd invent a time machine so Counsell could go back and fix that ridiculous decision he made 15 minutes ago.

Craig does love him some Jacob Barnes.

[KeithStone53151]

So who's due up here?

[mtrebs]

I wish we could get a hit with bases loaded once in a while. That’d take some of the sting off when the pitchers walk everyone.

The voices of kids in general are annoying. Having kids scream is just awful. And those two idiots couldn't decide whether they wanted to use the player's first name, last name or number.

[Bulldogboy]

Man. Ive said it before here and been roasted for it but there just is no way to discount how much Counsell is going to cost this team down the stretch. He used the guy they traded for for no good reason in the 6th and instead saves a big loogy spot for the guy who has failed time and time again. Oh well.

[MoreTrife]

I just can't get over this crap. I don't care who created the mess, a mess was created and you need a darn good pitcher to get you out of it and you throw out...dan Jennings...then Lyles.

 

Just outrageous!!

[TURBO]

CC = Golden Boy.

 

His job is as safe as safe can be.

[Brewcrewin07]

CC will say Hader was unavailable because he pitched Wednesday and Thursday in Cincy. Not saying he shouldn't have been available, but that's what CC's answer will be if he's asked.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Saladino pinch hitting? Craig must hate Santana.

[mtrebs]

Maybe the Nationals will walk the bases loaded... and then we can go K, K, deep fly out.

[Eye Black]

What a disappointing way to start off September. They can’t afford to have late inning bullpen blowups cost them games down the stretch.

[adambr2]

Seriously, I don't know how much clearer Jennings can make it that he can't handle high leverage situations.

[MrTPlush]

It won’t happen, but we need a new manager. Counsell flat out can’t manage a bullpen. How do we not use our best relievers when we are winning?! How do we consistently let games blow up and lose because we never have someone warming up Incase a pitcher gets into trouble. Why do we constantly throw Jennings out there when he has failed constantly over recent appearances? How does our best reliever hardly ever pitch for long stretches.

 

His management costs us games all the time. Too much for a team with World Series aspirations. Too many boneheaded managerial decisions...too many that an average joe wouldn’t even make.

 

It’s pathetic to watch. We need one out and we bring in Jennings instead of Hader. That’s scary how stupid that is.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Saladino pinch hitting? Craig must hate Santana.

 

I take it back LOL

[mtrebs]

That wild pitch stings now

[TJH123]

Ok, but why is Jennings available when he pitched Thursday and Friday? I guess he’s saving Hader so that he can be well rested to watch the playoffs from his couch. Hell yeah Saladino.

[bigredrobbo]

Well that helps.

[Eye Black]

Nice swing by Saladino, that extra run given up on the wild pitch really hurts unless they can string some more hits together here.

[adambr2]

That would be outstanding if we hadn't compounded the Jennings mistake by bringing in Lyles.

[KeithStone53151]

Saladino pinch hitting? Craig must hate Santana.

 

CC genius at work...
