2020-09-27: Brewers (Anderson) at Cardinals (Gomber) [Brewers lose, 5-2 -- Clinch spot in Postseason]

[yourout]

This could get out of hand quick.

[MrTPlush]

Well, won’t be too sad if we miss the postseason now. Not like it will be a well played close loss...just an embarrassment when it mattered most.

[HarveysWBs]

Padres have taken a lead in the top of the 4th, another runner in scoring position. Phillies are down 2-0 to the Rays.

[AZBrewCrew]

Dagger

[yourout]

That might do it.

[mtrebs]

Edman is the new David Freese

[BruisedCrew]

Go Padres and Rays?

 

Only way the Brewers are making the playoffs.

[yourout]

Someone else needs to be up in the pen

[folly412]

Since we can't even hit Goober, much less score more than 3 runs..

 

2-1 Dads

3-0 Rays

I mean...none of the Brewers, Giants, or Phils should be in the playoffs. Not that it helps.

[Never Outhustled]

I’d put Williams in here. If we give up a big spot now, later in the game won’t matter

 

I was thinking the same exact thing. Strikeouts here are BIG, and Williams is that guy.

 

Would suck when we need him later, but we have to play this in the moment.

 

An inexcusable mistake. Williams was made for this situation. We needed strikeouts.

[TURBO]

So it comes down to hoping that 2 teams lose.

 

Yup, seems about right for 2020.

 

Only way in the playoffs is to back in.

That is true, so I guess if someone has to be in, might as well be us.

Counsell has made every decision this year like he's managing a team in 1985.

[yourout]

If he loses Molina he should be pulled.

[TURBO]

Why is that? Why has he completely changed what he does as a manager? It's infuriating.

Hoping for a little back door action...that’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s talk about the montage the Brewers social media team put out earlier today for Braun. They don’t do that if someone hasn’t already put in their 2 weeks notice

[MrTPlush]

If we lose and make the postseason we would make history, first sub .500 team ever to make it!

[yourout]

Pull him.

[TURBO]

It's not like we couldn't predict this kind of appearance from Peralta.

 

He hasn't pitched since last Sunday, meanwhile, his child is born... Has his head been in the game until he showed up today?

 

I guess he just isn't ready for the bright lights yet.

I do think the offense can put up runs against Gomber in the next couple of innings, it doesn’t hurt their chances that he might go 30+ minutes between pitches.

Peralta was not a horrible choice here. He's got a k/9 of 14.5, so it's not like he's a contact pitcher. I don't mind the questioning of the bullpen decision game, it's good clean fun, but it is not unreasonable to to have expected Peralta to do better in that spot than allowing a billion guys to get on.

I'm sure they'll put a "2020 NL Wild Card" sign in the outfield at Insurance Company Field to commemorate the worst team to ever make the postseason.

[mtrebs]

I normally defend Counsell, but not putting Williams in there was inexcusable, to the point where I would be fine if Counsell wasn’t the manager next season. Edited September 27, 2020 by mtrebs

The Cards get the magic number 4.

 

Think about it, guys. The team's playoff hopes rested on beating the Cardinals, a team that has tormented us since 1982. What did you think was going to happen?
