Game Thread (6/14/2022): Brewers (Houser) at Mets (Bassitt) - 6:10 PM CDT

[Sixtolezcano]

A 3 hit shutout, who would’ve guessed? 

[Nola Beery]

I tip my hat to all y'all who stayed to end.  Bleccch!

[HarryDoyle]

It's the Dodgers, Mets and everyone else is a distant third. Where we fit in that I have no idea.

Wasn't Bassit  struggling a little bit before tonight ? Out team is a perfect slump buster for opposing pitchers.

Imagine how bad we'd be if we didn't break the bank on Cutch!

Every teams pitching staff gets pumped to see the Brewers coming up on their schedule.

Horrible slump right now , but is it really a slump ? Or is it who we really are ! Seriously seen this very offense last year and here we are again. Without our pitching we are right there with Pitt and chicago. We have one of the most inept lineups, can't string hits together on a consistent basis. We need to change our philosophy on hitting. Tired of the all or nothing approach. 

I’ve been saying this for the last few seasons. I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Thank you, I appreciate your support.  I couldnt have done it without naturally poor decision making, living a boring life, and having a tendency of being a glutton for punishment.

Can Chi Chi Gonzalez hit? Last thing we need is a mediocre middle reliever (assuming that's what he is).

I'd put Atlanta in there too.

I laugh when I see random MLB posts on Facebook about other teams’ players having good stats within the last week or so. They all played the Brewers during that timeframe…

Better hurry up, at this rate they'll be $5.64 by the end of the month

They're for next week's Cards series.

The best 40 game start in franchise history.

Considering the Brewers franchise history that's a low bar.  In fact any accomplishment is a pretty low bar for 52 years of mostly ineptitude.

We may have been separated at birth, bro!

Honestly can’t remember the last time I saw a guy tag at first and take second on a fly ball to left.  Yelich gave up that run with his arm, or lack there of.

He was going back on the ball, so it was a good read by the baserunner. But it's not like he would've made a good throw either way. It's one thing to have a weak arm, but to exacerbate it the release point is horrible. He gets so much air under the throws, you get that high hop and there's no way anyone will get thrown out. And it just never.......gets......corrected.

On a positive note, Bally sports, during the Counsell presser, flashed the standings........from like two weeks ago. Apparently we're still 3.5 games up lol.

After Mikolas finishes off this no hitter in a few minutes they'll be 2.5 games down.

seems like a bad middle reliever rather than a mediocre one.

Right now the Brewers fit in sitting at home watching the playoffs. 
 

They are 1.5 games behind the Giants, who are now in the final wild card position.
