NL Wild Card Game 1-Diamondbacks (Pfaadt) vs Brewers (Burnes): 10/3/23, 6:08pm

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Baseball is so so cruel. Your team is built on pitching, and one bad performance in a year of amazing ones puts you in an awful spot.

Offense going to have to win this one.

[kevinisaname]

Please don't go quiet, bats.

[markedman5]

When you built on pitching and defense you need better then this from Burnes

 

[willie key]

I am so tired of the no one wants to face the brewers because of their big three starters.       It never works.       Rea and miley would have probably won this game

Alas. We know how unlikely that is.

Not optimistic.

If they don't walk us they win.

Contrares just walked so we will win.

[yourout]

Way to many chases out of the zone.

[yourout]

Going to change TVs to see if I can change the MOJO.

[jason21nl]

Canha really picked a bad time to slump 

[Brian]

Joey Wiemer brought up for base running purposes late in the game I'm sure.

[adambr2]

Canha sucks tonight.

The Brewers have probably already filed the game tape away for next year’s arbitration hearing with Burnes.

What’s cruel about it.   That’s the point.   You have to go out there and play

[kevinisaname]

Sigh... leadoff walk in front of Carroll.

[HarryDoyle]

You can see the difference between these two offenses. We swing at pitches out of the zone and they do not.

I mean, I didn't think it was controversial that playoff baseball had a cruel streak, it being a very prone to variance, but, hey, learn something new every day.

[nate82]

For an ace 3-runs should be more than enough Burnes is not pitching like an ace today or this season.  He is pitching more like a #3.

Definitely don’t want the Brewers to extend Burnes beyond his last arb year.  He looks to be someone who is going to regress a lot as he gets older.  Whoever signs him to a long term contract will be regretting it after year 2 or 3.

[kevinisaname]

Just what we need, a Santana injury....

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Alright, changing up the energy, I guess.

Canha now 4-42 with 14 Ks in the playoffs. Not exactly built for October apparently.

Maybe Telez can be the hero.

But it’s not.   You make it seem like there was 162 games of amazing pitching performances.     And then this one.     That’s bs.     This isn’t random.   This is a playoff team beating up on another.      This is just cope and helps people sleep at night.       Burnes shoudl have won this game after we gave him early runs.   He didn’t.   And it isn’t the first time.
