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

[Fear The Chorizo]

This game is an advertisement for going back to just two divisions in the NL so teams like this don't make the playoffs

[willie key]

Three walks this inning.    Oof

[yourout]

7 walks is too many.

[wibadgers23]

Whoever made the ultimate decision to put Winker on the postseason roster should be arrested and charged with a felony immediately after this game.

[adambr2]

Someone explain to me again like I'm 8 why Jesse freaking Winker made this playoff roster. 

I'd have much rather seen Rowdy and I'm about as little of a Rowdy fan as can be. 

[Brian]

Maybe tomorrow Gallen will pitch like Burns did today

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I'm disappointed in Burnes, but credit to the DBacks too.

The bigger thing for me is just how much you need to take advantage of every opportunity to score in the playoff, especially early. We had the starter out after less than 3 innings. We had 3 runs. We had every chance to add on and just couldn't do it. Donaldson had a productive night, but he was a WPA albatross. Our run expectancy must have been like 7 or 8 tonight.

No change up on 3-2…..

[adambr2]

Buh bye Brewers. 

[HarveysWBs]

The pain just will never stop

[dlk9s]

Didn't think our two best pitchers would **** the bed in the same game.

Fortunately it's not a one-game series.

[yourout]

Well that's that.

 

[Simba2020]

Some all-stars we had pitching today.

[Slippery_Pete]

Horror show

[Fear The Chorizo]

I can already picture the Brewers blowing a late lead tomorrow night because they managed to gas an entire bullpen during a loss after their ace couldn't get out of the 5th inning

 

Sigh...

[Bulldogboy]

The pain doesn't hurt as bad when you have been down this road before. 

[willie key]

Perfect Williams.     Just horse manure all the way around.   Brewers did a lot of talking this week and played complete garbage

This was literally our best opportunity of the 3 to win. 

[owbc]

And Devin is now unavailable for the elimination game tomorrow. Unreal. 

[BruisedCrew]

And there’s the game. 
 

Worst case scenario for the Brewers. Lose a game while facing what will probably be the worst starting pitcher any team will have to use in the playoffs and burn up their own bullpen in the process. 

[markedman5]

What a crap game……..Burnes and Williams can’t get it done to give us a chance and offensecant take advantage of tons of opportunities 

[Nola Beery]

At least I can go to sleep now.

Maybe resting them so much isn't the answer.

I wouldn't count on it.

I'll be shocked if the Brewers score more than one off of him.

[adambr2]

You'd think that a Brewer team that frequently makes the playoffs would perform like they've been there. Nope.
