No idea why they didnt bring in Rogers.

Williams might not be available tonight. So maybe keeping Rogers as closer?

Possibly but old CC would have went with matchups and I would much rather have Rogers face all the leftys.

[yourout]

Pull him.

[willie key]

Every game for the brewers is just a lifeless slog

I hope someone is almost ready to come in.

[yourout]

CC screwed this up.

I. Hate. Walks.

[willie key]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.    Unbelievable

How does Craig Counsell manage to pull the wrong string on nearly every move he makes this season?

I hope you don't have a dog!

Craig Counsell you cannot sit there and watch that happen. You have a 9 man bullpen. It is just not acceptable. 

[wibadgers23]

Another bullpen failure. What is their ERA in August? It has to be astronomical.

[treego14]

This setback is just a setup for a Brewer comeback!

He has been institutionalized. He has become the same old cookie cutter manager that is afraid to think outside the box with regards to bull pen management.

[Nola Beery]

No excuse for that inning.

Maybe it’s because there isn’t one reliable reliever in the bullpen these days.

So, if you need 3 or 4 of them to be perfect to scratch out a win the odds are against you.

Offense has been lousy again tonight. Just two innings (1st and 4th) with any sort of threat or life. Get a great start out of Alexander, but then the bullpen has to walk a tightrope for four innings to try to get the win. That’s a tough script to follow, regardless of roster talent. Still a chance to comeback and win, but that might be catching lightning in a bottle tonight.

Even though you wouldn’t have done it 99.9999999999% of the time I would have pulled him after the two balls.    Get his rear end of there

[treego14]

The Next 5 ... not the Jackson 5 ... not the Fab 5 ... but they will make this crowd come alive!

Wasn't just that. Subbing Taylor for Mitchell was foolish. 

[treego14]

Will the Brewers coaches be lining up after the game to get Oneil Cruz' autograph?

He rips our staff!

He is having a good laugh!

[bulldogboy0733]

One team just watching the same guy kill them game after game is a fireable offense. Someone has to be held accountable. 

[yourout]

I remember the day when a lead in the 7th was almost always a win.

At least we got to 100 million fans.  Please, if you have friends or co-workers from Seattle, let them know how much you appreciate their grandfather for helping us get to this important milestone.
