If they lose this tomorrow ain’t that big of a game

Because their playoff hopes are over if they're down 2.5 games halfway through August? A win tomorrow puts them 1.5 games behind. Granted I don't believe they'll do much if they make the playoffs, but to say the season's over if they lose tonight is hyperbolic.

[MoreTrife]

All these grounders pounded to the right side feel great

[willie key]

Yelich strikes out way too much.       For a guy that has no power he shouldn’t be striking out that much

[Brewcrew82]

You gotta be kidding me. I hate this ballpark. 

[MoreTrife]

I hate the Cardinals.

[jason21nl]

A fly out to the warning track?  Crushed it.

Like they are going to make ground with 7 games against the dodgers the next week or so.

The Cardinals bolster their lineup with two future Hall of Famers in Goldschmidt and Arenado.

The Brewers trade their All Star closer for prospects. 
 

Therein lies the difference.

The Dodgers are so far ahead they could blow a few games against the Brewers in the hopes they make the playoffs instead of a good team.

To be fair, they were absolutely gifted Arenado. 

[Sixtolezcano]

No hitter still in play.

If the Pirates can beat them why can't we?

[CdrbrgMark]

Brewers 2X thru the lineup. Where are these hits they're supposed to be able to get when Wainright pitches? They have NONE. Absolutely pitiful !!!

We don’t deserve Corbin

Which is why he won't sign an extension with us.  He'll probably be happy as hell going to one of the teams who can afford to pay him, and score runs when he starts.  Same thing with Woodruff, I'm sure both will be just fine with moving on from the Brewers.

Maybe the pirates are better than us.  They’ve been kicking our rear end too

i wouldn’t use them

No shame ... he's a hall-of-famer 

I think their relief corps will be tamer!

[LouisEly]

I think it's absolutely hilarious that they've shown several people drinking Summer Shandy in Busch Stadium.

If the Pirates were better they wouldn't be 16 games behind us in the standings.

Grab a bat, Sixto. You may be 68, but you’d represent a stark improvement over at least half of our lineup tonight. ?

And a complete game shutout. Not one of those fake combined ones.

[yourout]

Would winning an extra innings while getting no hit be acceptable?

That might be the only way they win this game.

Adam Wainright is not a Hall of Famer. 

[yourout]

Dupe
