Pirates (Falter) vs Brewers (Burnes): 8/5/23, 6:10pm

Offensively, this team is pitiful 

If they can’t score on Pittsburgh there’s no reason to get excited about the possibility of a playoff spot 

I keep waiting on the offense to hit & score consistently 

The 14-1 game two nights ago is a tease 

These players aren’t capable of hitting  well over a few weeks

Well this is fun.  What no name ding dong is going to dominate this lineup tomorrow.  2-4 cannot be how they imagined this stretch would go if this holds.

14 runs in 9 innings and now they've scored three in their last 15 innings.

Those high scoring games for a team like this are a complete aberration. They jump ahead early and then pile on against the bottom of the bullpen on a bad team. 
 

There was no reason to think that was going to be a sign of an offensive breakout. 

[edfunderburk]

I could care less about the Reds

My biggest fear is losing the NL Central to the Cubbies

[yourout]

Six walks in eight innings is a good way to lose to a team you shouldn't.

Just like those late runs in Atlanta when you are down 8 or 9

I mentioned it Friday that we should have saved some runs for the rest of the series , I was joking sorta !

So is scoring one run on garbage pitching.

We actually walk quite a bit , problem is we never get a hit after they walk !

[Bulldogboy]

[brewers888]

I've seen about enough of Chafin not throwing strikes.

[mtsportsfan]

Hit here and the game is over !

The problem isn’t necessarily they don’t get hit it’s that they K or don’t have a productive AB.

[mtsportsfan]

Problem is they walk , stolen base  , hit , run !

We hit, walk , nothing else . been that way most of the season and last season ! 

[Bulldogboy]

Everyone talking about the Cubs catching us. I see it. Look at thier lineup. It's pretty good. Bellinger is good. Swanson has been great. They are better 1-9 no questions.

Hitting wise the Brewers might be the worst team in the division.

Almost every lineup in baseball is better than ours 1-9.
