I guess Rogers is below Bush on the pecking order. Might have wanted him pitching to Reynolds and Gamel. 

Don't know Reynolds' splits, but With Gamel following it's curious.

Rogers must not be available.  How in the world do you not go lefty with Reynolds, Gamel, and Cruz coming up?

[owbc]

Are we required to get swept at PNC at the most inopportune times? I hate that ballpark.

If nothing else make it harder for him to hit to right.

Brewers are Bush League!

[mtrebs]

Best way to lose ever. 

[BruisedCrew]

The new bullpen is not impressive. 

[Simba2020]

Meet Matt Bush, the new Daniel Norris.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pain

[YelichPosse]

y'all can kiss fist place by ourself goodbye by the end of the evening. this is sickening.

[markedman5]

Brutal……..what terrible baseball we p.ahead in this series…..deserved everything we got

[treego14]

Where was the guy with 28 saves?

[BruisedCrew]

By the end of the night the Brewers might be tied with both the Cardinals and Phillies. 
 

The Phillies start a 4 game series against the Nats, the first of 11 games they have against them the rest of the way. 

[Hopper]

Disappointing

Disgusting

Embarrassing

Hopefully that gets asked in postgame. He had better not have been available or there's gonna be some fur flyin'.

Another great bullpen trade by Stearns. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Full on tailspin right now

[LouisEly]

Counsell has some explaining to do.  Doesn't keep Rogers in to face Cruz leading off the 9th in game one, then doesn't bring Rogers in the 10th with Reynolds, Gamel, and Cruz due up.

[JesseG53]

Remember how everyone thought the bullpen overall was improved? LOL

Counsell was ejected, for those who weren't watching

[wOOgiE22]

This makes now 4 games in a row blowing a lead by the Brewers. 

[YelichPosse]

Judging by the player's reactions... I feel they have the air let out of them by the Hader trade. Professionals or not, it just seems like a bunch of crap going on. We sure deserved to be swept too. Played about as bad in a 3 game series as I have seen.

Well at least we’re (yet again) celebrating the 40th anniversary of the World Series losers this weekend

Bad baseball and bad luck,is a bad combination 

 

Not an apologist, but you look at Reynolds'  double in the tenth, and compare it to the ball Renfroe hit.................

Still, we hear about our ace-quality top of the rotation, and it's been four games in a row now where we get just murdered by a seemingly inconsequential walk, with virtually nothing going on for the opponent. Today it led off the seventh, up by two runs, to a guy coming in hitting .111. And it was Brandon Woodruff doing the walking. Hard to dump on a guy who's been so good, but if we're built on run prevention, that can't happen.
