How old is Longoria, like 50?

[yourout]

Good recovery.

At this point, I think you throw Peralta tomorrow even you manage to come back and win this one. Just need a guy to go out and give you 6 or 7 innings with 2 runs or fewer.

 

If only it were that easy.

Payamps escapes. We really need to score, the pitching is hanging on by a thread.

[brewers888]

Dodgers must be shaking in their boots at the prospect of facing either of these teams.

[adambr2]

Bullpen has done everything in their power to give us a chance.

Actually. These TV guys aren't too bad. The commercials are killing me.

The braves are going to have the toughest draw of all with the Phillies.

Phillies are my pick to get to the series.

[RobertCrawley]

I feel a Winker redemption right here.

[HarveysWBs]

Got hurt after two swings…the horror

Goes without saying, but obviously every game in a best of 3 is critical. The thing is, if we can pull this off today, you'd have to think we're in really good shape for the series because of how much we've tapped their bullpen today. 

Though they will have Gallen (who has owned the Brewers) tomorrow and might not need much of a bullpen. Meanwhile the Brewers will probably have Miley and the Brewers bullpen has been used heavily too. 
 

If the Brewers don’t come back in this one, they will be in a pretty tough spot. 

[CheezWizHed]

I get why not Tellez... but why Winkler??? He has shown nothing this year... and now injured??

[brewers888]

Winker is still a stinker.

[adambr2]

Wait, Winker made the playoff roster? Did Counsell draw these names out of a hat?

[yourout]

I don't get why winker is even on the roster?

[BruisedCrew]

Good thing they had Winker for that spot. 

[Nola Beery]

Winker rhymes with stinker

It’s truly unbelievable that they chose to put Winker on the playoff roster.  

[CheezWizHed]

Is that Monica Seles pitching??

[brewers888]

Should have pinch hit for Turang last at bat. Not that it would have been any better but still.

[adambr2]

Taylor pressing like crazy. 

[RobertCrawley]

We are swinging at so many pitches out of the zone. Little plate discipline.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I mean, needing Jesse Winker to deliver in a game like this says all you need to know about the Brewers offense.

I wouldn't trade these last 6 seasons for anything. I wouldn't do anything different. But you do start to run up against the limits of a "run prevention" roster strategy. Now, some of that is just the result of Yelich not being the best player in the world too. There'll be plenty of time for more post-mortem should this end badly over the next day or two. But that's my early take. At some point, you a true number 3/4 hitter.

[HarveysWBs]

So much center cut fastball watching…

[brewers888]

Good to have Winker and Wiemer on the roster when Tyler Black never got a shot at the end of the season.
