Is that game 6 Kotsay in CF from 2011 highlight anywhere online? I don't want to watch it, but I do. Maybe another day. Actually looking up info the Kotsay game might of been earlier game 3 or 4?

I thought it was a game where Kotsay hits a HR and has a good game at the plate. Whichever that one was. My recollection(and I've tried to forget) was that there was a single that fell in front of him that a decent OFer would have gotten and then two more hit in the gaps that would have been....fairly easy outs for Morgan and routine plays for Gomez. 

I may have exaggerated the defensive impact he had, but I thought he gave up 3 runs?

Lets just all keep that in mind when thinking about Jessie Winker as a DH. If this was Ron, he may be in RF for this game.

You are correct, just looked it up. Having flashbacks already. :)

I didn't know which reaction to use here...the sad or solved it reaction! 

 

Just a blown chance!

Game 5 of that 2011 series is the one where it all went wrong for me. You get a great performance from Randy Wolf in Game 4 and basically steal one to even the series, and then Greinke's going in Game 5.  He gives up a run in the second, but then Hairston boots an easy play, and it's 3-0 instead of 1-0, and the Brewers are toast.

I've basically been reliving playoff trauma all week to try to...I don't know. Process it as an act of radical acceptance or whatever.  Nothing that can happen in this series will break my heart as much as 2011 or 2018 (watching Chris Taylor turn a pretty sure out into a sure hit only to make it an out again is just the pain that will never go away), so there's that, at least.

Honestly, I'm just surprised they didn't keep Rowdy on the roster as a spare bullpen arm. He was getting swings and misses his last time on the hill.

Thought they should have gone with another lefty in 2011 for Game 5 (Narveson) considering how they struggled so with Wolf. Then Greinke and Yo could have gone 6 and 7 at home. Greinke didn’t lose at home all year.

One at bat and injured again, don't think we'll have to worry about Winker anymore

When they had the bases loaded and Frelick coming up, I wanted to pinch hit with Wiemer and pinch run with Mitchell.  Oh wait.
