2019-09-27: Brewers (Davies) at Rockies (Senzatela) [Brewers lose, 11-7]

[topper09er]

Well, the #1 wild card spot isn’t looking very likely now, but let’s hope the Cubs can somehow pull this game off so we are only still one game back of the division. Cardinals win today and the #2 wild card slot is likely where we’ll be.

 

Then Maddon will start Kimbrel tomorrow

[Brew crew 92]

Not sure what Counsell doing tonight with these moves. Haven’t seen Peralta since what, forever? Yesterday’s game he goes with D Williams when I would have thought Peralta. Is Peralta not available? Suter? But to take Davies out for Black? Puzzling.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Relievers not throwing strikes is annoying.

[HarveysWBs]

lol Brian and Bill still think the Rockies have a good offense. They've had a bottom 10 offense for 5 years running.

 

This game is in Colorado, where they are a very good offense. The splits are extreme, as should be expected.

[Oxy]

This would be a fun comeback.

[topper09er]

Arcia's head has not been in the game all night. Just like Black's arm

[trwi7]

Anybody else's picture just choppy garbage right now?

Guys, assuming we don't come back and the Cubs don't win, the people calling to plan on playing in Washington on Tuesday are not saying anything wrong or ridiculous. 2 down with 2 to go is just not likely going to happen from either the Cards or Nats much less needing to win both ourselves. It's not like you're going to play to lose the next two games, but there's nothing wrong with resting up everyone you want to be available for Tuesday and just getting some innings out of Faria, Burnes, etc. Going all out for something that probably has a 10% chance of happening anyway is a shortsighted move. Just play to win on Tuesday.

 

People in this thread were calling this game a loss when it was 2-3...

 

That was just plain stupid.

 

Down 2-8, I get it, down 2-3, the way this team has played the last 20 games, was just asinine.

 

Ah, yeah that makes sense then.

 

All I was saying is that if you're 2 games down with 2 to go it's probably best to just concentrate on what you need to do to win the Wild Card game and if anything better happens along the way, great.

No one said that. Calling it over and done with in a 1-0 game and 3-2 game was annoying, and dumb. That it's now 8-2 doesn't change that.

 

Yeah I missed that part of it.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Well. Maybe the cubs will pull something out of the rear ends tonight

 

This is what will anger me even more, if the Cubs give the Crew the help they needed, and the Brewers couldn't capitalize. That's a lot more maddening then if the Crew wins and the Cardinals win.

 

You're getting upset the Brewers didn't win 14 of their last 15. Think about that.

[HarveysWBs]

Huh. I know a couple Brewers pitchers last inning that could have used that strike 3 call...

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We can at least hope for the Cards to lose in 18 innings again.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, the umpire tonight is especially bad.

[phnxcrew]

Well, poor time to lay a fat turd. I'm still just grateful they'll make the playoffs. Can't win em' all.

[treego14]

I hope CC apologizes to the team and fans for this game.

[NYChez]

Cubs using Cishek in the 6th and Brewers using Ray Black in the 6th is a development I wasn’t expecting tonight.

[mtrebs]

Well, poor time to lay a fat turd. I'm still just grateful they'll make the playoffs. Can't win em' all.

 

And no matter what happens, the Cubs can’t win the World Series... so, success!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I hope CC apologizes to the team and fans for this game.

 

This team has won 18 of 20. Give me a break.

I think people look for a reason to get offended. Everyone just relax

[HarveysWBs]

I hope CC apologizes to the team and fans for this game.

 

Ok, this is getting a little much. Maybe he’ll get on that apology when you send him a hand-written thank you card for the whole month of September. Get real.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

There's definitely something to be said for being able to have the arms you want for the Wild Card game because you didn't have to do 163. I'm not conceding anything yet though. If the Cubs can win they can win twice, and if it doesn't work out we absolutely can beat the Nats.

[treego14]

I hope CC apologizes to the team and fans for this game.

No, CC needs to give us a break! This was inexcusable managing! Don't rest on laurels! Be intelligent! This is not a spring training game! Good grief!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Going to need some big-time, Manny Pina, Eric Thames heroics to have any shot tonight.

 

Obviously, I want to win the division. But I am weirdly excited about the chance to experience a WC game. Call me crazy, I guess. I sort of feel like Game 163 last year is about as tense as I will ever be for any baseball game. That was the best win of my Brewer life.

 

The flipside was losing Game 4 in LA. Most physically sick I have ever felt about a baseball game.

 

After those two, I feel oddly zen. Whatever happens, the result will be somewhere in between.

Such a card would go to the players, period.

[Bulldogboy]

Faria? White flag I guess?
