A ball gets away from a Brewers fielder on SB attempt and runner advances an extra base. Fly ball down the line that's barely missed by a Brewers fielder on a diving attempt. Play at the plate where runner should be out by a mile but crazy combination of high tag and sneaky reach by runner yields a run and takes an out off the board.

A's threw a ball into center on an SB attempt (we didn't take the extra base).  Duck snort squirted (I.E. barley missed it) under the glove of the A's LF for a run.  Those seem like things that happen just about every night in MLB, not fluky.

If they want to stay in this one the pen needs to get busy.

A big fly here and this one is over.

Jeez houser

[82brewcrew82]

Yikes, but he gutted through it.

[yourout]

7 strikeouts in 4 innings is way to many.

[yourout]

No good options I guess.

Robots....robots....robots.

The lack of consistency is maddening.

[82brewcrew82]

Now, if we could just get some offense.

[yourout]

Wonder what the crews record is in first games of the series this season?

Too much to ask for I guess.  Just awful AB after awful AB.

That was a pathetic half inning.

[82brewcrew82]

Maybe we can trade for this Erceg guy.

[82brewcrew82]

To add insult to injury, dominated by Erceg and Peterson that inning.

[yourout]

Putrid performance by the offense.

There are some games, maybe most games, where I just cannot see that they have any concept of a game plan at bat to at bat.

[markedman5]

Worst pitching staff in baseball need a little confidence? ‘Meet the Brewers offense!

[JackNicholson1974]

God I hate this offense. Every last one of them. There are no hitters on this team. It certainly is not the end-all be-all statistic, but back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid thumbing through baseball card statistics, if you hit below .235 you were a bum.

Well it is an offense of pretty much all bums.  They don't rank at or near the bottom in every major offensive category for nothing.

A lot of days you can chalk it up in part to facing good pitching, but not today.  They faced a group of mostly talentless AAA/AA level pitchers and scored two runs.
