If they don’t walk it off here I like their chances in extras since they haven’t even used Williams or Hader yet. 

Hader … Alexander … same difference

[NBBrewFan]

I wonder if the Brewers actually played their best players consistently if they'd actually win more games.

Brewers must lead the majors in hitting into double plays

Believe it or not there are 5 teams that have hit into more…

I see LAD & ATL are ahead of us

Possibly only the Blue Jays, but I’m guessing they have a lot more baserunners than the Brewers in the first place.

High OBP teams or the Brewers will be high in GIDP.

Say what you want of him, but Keston sure has a flair for the dramatic.

This team just sucks 

[edfunderburk]

Defense has been an issue all year

You can’t give runs to inferior opponents

Those are the teams that ground into the fewest. It reads fewest to most.

Yep. 

[NBBrewFan]

Nevermind.  Forgot we were in extra innings.

[HarryDoyle]

Why did this game have to go extras?

[willie key]

This is a losing team.     

[edfunderburk]

Why do those on this forum bark at me when I say the 2022 team is often “unwatchable” ????

[The stache]

Losing…..is a disease….

Don't lump us all into that basket.

Is anyone actually surprised?
I no longer expect us to win … I just hope we don’t lose

It’s been several years since I felt that way about a Brewers team

And Burnes started again today
