Crap ! Why couldn't Burnes come back out ?

Because he threw so many high stress pitches just to make it through 6. 

Im having flashbacks to last year’s deadline week collapse with the Nats taking on the role,of the Pirates.

Elvis has left the Building !   Too late I  think !

I can’t stand giving up 0-2 hits.   

To be fair we picked up back to back 0-2 hits in the top of the inning but then did nothing with them.

We’re probably closer to selling than we are buying but our division is so mediocre that Arnold is almost forced into half-ass buying.

This would be a really bad time for an extended losing streak.

Just sell Burnes at his peak please

If orioles miss out on the starters we should get a haul

[willie key]

Wow.     Lost the burnes game to the nationals

 

i love when people quote the playoff predictor scenarios.     The brewers were such a huge favorite over the reds/cubs a few days ago.     No freaking way were they a 70/80% chance of winning the division 

 

never ever ever follow that crap.     Sometimes you can be a slave to numbers

Yeah.  Those pitches were also bad.  Just far too close to the strike zone

Lots of baseball left to play.

That would've been two calendar years ago, so a bit late to the party at this point.

If he is traded before he becomes a FA, they'd get more return for trading him this offseason than at this year's deadline with so few teams in total go for it mode, anyway.

Sorry , I don't buy it . he's the ace of the staff , get out there and pitch!  See a  psychologist later ! Need to ride him , its his last year with us anyway !

This is shaping up to be a team loss.

Failing in all three phases of the game.

Frelick is looking over matched the last few games.  Probably best to send him back to AAA once Canha arrives.

The Brewers have been doing it with smoke and mirrors all year.  The smoke is clearing and showing that this team just blah

Elvis should go back to Nashville.

The lack of scoring runs has made Counsell use our three best relievers way too often and they are wearing down.

[82brewcrew82]

Imagine the score if they had a Candelario still.

I think the team has a negative run differential. Just can't expect to keep winning one run games at the pace this team has done.

I agree. I think they're starting to show the workload.

Yes, but you got to beat the easy teams

[brewers888]

Its not too late to do the right thing and get a haul for Burnes tomorrow. I doubt it happens but this team isn't a serious championship contender and the Dodgers have just the right combination of young pitching to give us for Burnes.

[brewers888]

Just cannot be losing games at this point of the season with Burnes going against a team like this.

[82brewcrew82]

What will the three feeble outs be in the ninth?
