2020-09-24: Brewers (Burnes) at Cardinals (Kim) [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[PinaMadness]

Burnes just doesn't have it tonight.

[shanedog19]

It is hard to fathom how we score three more runs to win this game.

[TURBO]

Damn it, there goes the ERA title for Burnes...

 

2.11 now

[markedman5]

Hurt........might be why he struggled

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Burnes doesn’t look right on some of those deliveries.

[jason21nl]

For flip sake

[mtrebs]

Were the lights bright enough in the playoffs in 2018, or did that not count?

 

I could see it being different. 2018 was a team accomplishment. This is Burnes in the spotlight by himself.

[SomewhereInTime]

Burnes is going to finish 1/3 of an inning away from qualifying, brutal.

[wibadgers23]

Lower body injury hopefully?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Burnes isn't throwing his fastball tonight. Something is definitely wrong. Ugh.

[markedman5]

[folly412]

Something up physically all night. Doesn't seem like it just came about this inning. Brewers luck.

[Bulldogboy]

Jeez. If you are hurt say so before you give up the homer to the 9 hole hitter hitting 190.

[TURBO]

Doubt he was seriously going to win the Cy Young, but any chance of that is now gone.

 

I hate 2020.

[wildcat83]

 

If he had a back or oblique issue he shouldn’t have been out there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Injured guy trying to gut it out = "not ready for the spotlight"

 

got it.

[pacopete4]

Cy Young winners show up in these games. Hopefully this season is a building block for Burnes moving forward into becoming one of the best starters in the NL.

[TURBO]

If he is injured, then I think you can take a nonsensical statement like "isn't ready for the bright lights" and put a cork in it.

 

Just admit it was a reactionary thing to say and move on. Things like that make me question some people's fandom.

[TURBO]

Cy Young winners show up in these games. Hopefully this season is a building block for Burnes moving forward into becoming one of the best starters in the NL.

 

Nice backtrack, and he hasn't won a Cy Young. Just stop.

[wibadgers23]

Can this offense for once pick up the pitching and win one?

[TURBO]

Injured guy trying to gut it out = "not ready for the spotlight"

 

got it.

 

Some people...

There is no backtrack. It was a disappointing start for a guy that looked like he might be ready to be the guy. I guess we will now wait for next season to see where that head is at if we get in these types of games again.

[Bulldogboy]

So now the pressure is on an offense that doesn't need any more. Would be awesome to get to a old school Yelich game.

[TURBO]

Can this offense for once pick up the pitching and win one?

 

Odds are probably no, but this is 2020, so they could score another 10 runs, or they could not register a single hit the rest of the game...

If he needed a massager on a core muscle between innings that’s on CC for letting him go back out. I give Burnes a ton of credit for trying to gut through something he shouldn’t have been allowed to do.

 

He gained some standing in my book, but if you want to dump on him, you do you.
