Expect nothing from this team and hope for the best but I don't see this team advancing very far in the playoffs.

Assuming we make the playoffs

Burnes appears to be pitching like a frustrated guy. Lack of runs gets to some guys after awhile. He has been a great Brewer but feels like a fresh start is needed. 

I want Josh Lindblom!

[Bulldogboy]

The big thing with Burnes is everything is about the same speed. Nothing truly off speed. If he misses his spot it's going to get hit.

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, this is rough.

[brewers888]

Screw it call up Donaldson and tell him to bring Hiura with him.

You can tell when he's going to get hard when batters aren't chasing much.

This is easy ... we are still in 1st place no matter what happens today.

Inflation is rough!

Very good point!  By golly, you got me thinking about this!  I think you are exactly right here!

People need to stop worrying about how we perform in the playoffs.          The brewers have to make it first.       They aren’t a lock.   

We'll win the World Series if we make the playoffs. Thankfully we won't be playing Oakland or Washington.

[Bulldogboy]

When is the last hit and run the Brewers executed in order to avoid hitting into a dp?

What? His second most used pitch is an 80mph CB that's 14mph difference between his cutter? Just spew some total nonsense some more.

Didn't realize that we are going against cy Ortiz ! 

Thinking about the second inning and how a good hitting team gets more than two. Bases loaded no outs , we get two runs on no hits ! So brewer like !

This division is very likely to come down to the last series of the season. The Cubs only need to be within 3 games or less going into it to have a chance to steal it from us.

Really?  I haven't noticed this much.  I need to pay closer attention, I guess!  :D

I'm super concerned about the seven games we have to play against Miami. I guess I should worry about the Pirates first.

For both parties 

[brewers888]

Even if we didn't have a cheapskate owner I would never want to pay Burnes what he will get.

This is rough - even though you have your Pollyanna perspective on being in first place

BTW - inflation isn’t so bad for those who manage money well over a few decades & live debt-free

Cubs are scrubs ... they won't steal it from us.  I am more worried about it snowing tomorrow!

The amount of keyboard bad guys here is amazing. You would never think of saying this in person so do yourself a favor and keep your thoughts on my post to yourself. Unless you have mlb scout in your resume. You're just a guy with a computer and an opinion like the rest of us.

I agree - even if we somehow come back & win 

Another poor offensive showing & disappointing start by Burnes

We look like a bottom of the league team tonight

The Cubs had/have the opportunity to control a lot of the wild card action. They just split a series with the Reds, which didn't amount to much because they blew a late lead in one game. Now they face the Giants, then they face the Diamondbacks.

If we don't get our act together we might be fighting it out for a wild card spot.

[kevinisaname]

Need a clutch hit from Carlos! Willie almost took that guy's head off.
