2020-10-01 (NL Wild Card Series): Brewers (Woodruff) at Dodgers (Kershaw) [Brewers lose, 3-0 -- Offensive struggles continue to the very end]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Fifth Inning Monster gets Woodruff again.

[shanedog19]

Good teams will make you pay for making mistakes.

[owbc]

This series went about as expected.

[SomewhereInTime]

Absolute noodle arm at 3B

 

He has a great arm. Awkward shuffle to the base and rushed the throw. Gyorko still should have picked it.

 

I mean I've yet to really see it but if you guys say so...

[adambr2]

That's it, folks.

[HarveysWBs]

Dang it. Time to turn in and hope I wake up to news of a miracle. Seeing another season die isn’t worth being exhausted at work one more night. Thanks, Woody, you deserved better.

[jason21nl]

Gotta make that DP

[Lostpawn]

Ballgame. Goodnight all. Talk to ya in 2021.

[SomewhereInTime]

Need to make plays in games like this, need a guy at 3B who can make the throw to first. That's probably gonna do it.

[Brewce]

A game of inches. If Gyrko picks we are out of it. If the pitched was called a third strike we are out of it. Instead we are down 3-0.

[rluzinski]

What's the plan with Harder here? Let him get 4 outs?

[LouisEly]

First off, there's no "8" in GenoSeligPrieb! Wish that could be fixed...

 

Anyway, I'm appalled to see Moose, Thames, Pomeranz, Grandal all be allowed to leave, only to be replaced by these "gritty veterans." And if we had Burnes healthy yesterday, instead of Shaun Marcum circa 2011 last night, we'd be in decent shape.

 

I half-expected to see the retired David Freese out there tonight.

NOW it's a party!!!

[Eye Black]

Absolute noodle arm at 3B

 

His play at 3B has actually been great this year. That was an off-balance throw that he rushed.

 

No he doesn't have the arm to play the left side of the infield

I’m not sure why you think you’re so right about that. There’s plenty you can say about Urias’ season not being great, but a noodle arm is about the laziest inaccuracy someone could possibly come up with.

[willie key]

Perfect ending to the season. Our high profile middle infielder hot prospect trade can’t make the damn throw to end and inning

[PinaMadness]

That might be all they need. Terrible throw by Urias, terrible pick by Gyorko, bad 2 strike pitch by Woodruff. Team losing effort, like usual.

Might?

[adambr2]

This series was almost like an AAA team against an MLB team. I can't imagine there was a matchup in MLB history with more of a talent disparity between the teams.

 

You've got a lot of work to do David, and I hope you do a lot better job than you did last offseason.

[wibadgers23]

We weren’t likely to score anyway. Oh well. Let’s hope Stearns is busy this winter remaking this offense.

[Guest]

The fact that 3 runs has people giving up completely is a pretty big condemnation of our offense. Ryan Healy cleanup DH is this years Kotsay in center. At least Stearns admitted he made some terrible moves, gives me some hope for the future at least.

 

But hey, I'm still watching, and this season isn't technically over yet. I'm not giving up.

[adambr2]

That might be all they need. Terrible throw by Urias, terrible pick by Gyorko, bad 2 strike pitch by Woodruff. Team losing effort, like usual.

Might?

 

Well, I said that when it was 1-0

[willie key]

What is the point of hader here

 

Seriously.

[PinaMadness]

That might be all they need. Terrible throw by Urias, terrible pick by Gyorko, bad 2 strike pitch by Woodruff. Team losing effort, like usual.

Might?

 

Well, I said that when it was 1-0

I know.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Unless the offense shows up, the Brewers ended with 10 consecutive games of 3 or fewer runs.

[trwi7]

That might be all they need. Terrible throw by Urias, terrible pick by Gyorko, bad 2 strike pitch by Woodruff. Team losing effort, like usual.

Might?

 

To be fair this was posted when the Dodgers only had a run and there was always the possibility that we could get a runner on base and a routine popup would happen simultaneously with an earthquake that pushed the fences in 250 feet.

[adambr2]

You're about 61 games and 5 innings too late in using Hader in a flexible role, Craig. It doesn't matter now.

[wOOgiE22]

When you give your pitchers no room for error as an offense, it is going to be tough to win. It is amazing they even got this far this year. Be interesting to see what can be done in the off-season
