Brewers (Koenig->Rea) vs Phillies (Sanchez): 6/4/24, 5:40pm

[HarryDoyle]

Predictable.

[yourout]

So much for that. I really don't think this makes it to extra innings.

[kevinisaname]

That was awful. This feels like a walk-off.

[yfinn6]

Yeah, as soon as Contreras and Yelich get on I knew this team wasn't going to get a run in. Maddening. 

[adambr2]

Against the league's best teams, nobody out and 1st and 2nd late in those tight games, your meat of the order has to be able to get the job done and push the lead run across. 

[HarryDoyle]

I fully expect the Phillies to walk it off right now.

[Bulldogboy]

I just can't believe how many times this team gets called out on strikes. In that situation you don't need a perfect pitch just make contact. Veteran player too. Hard to believe. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Not that it impacted anything, but I'm really not sure why Yelich isn't running there first pitch. I know lefty on the mound and all, but have to think Hoskins is thinking "don't hit it on the ground" on some level.

[yourout]

This game's going to be over rather quickly.

[kevinisaname]

Terrible miss by the ump on the first pitch. He's squeezing our guys now.

[Bulldogboy]

This is playoff level baseball. Unfortunately looks like every playoff series we have seen the Brewers play. Just not enough hero moments.

Exactly. It's inexcusable mental baseball. If Rhys goes down swinging there, I'm not mad. Frustrated, but not mad. At least he would have read the situation correctly.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Someone said this was a "measuring stick" series, and I think that's right. And we've played good baseball. But have to be able to do more of the little things. Baserunning game 1, situational hitting game 2.

 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Trevor looks like the chaotic version tonight.

[Bulldogboy]

I guess we could be the Cubs down 5-0 to the gulp.... White Sox. 

[Bulldogboy]

4 fingers

[yfinn6]

Get it to the 10th, please. 

 

[yourout]

Having triple digit cheddar to go to is one hell of a weapon.

[kevinisaname]

No walk-off for now. Let's get that ghost runner in (at least) and see what happens. Come on, Crew!

[Bulldogboy]

Nice job. Love what Trevor is bringing to the table. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Have to think Frelick is PRing for Sanchez.

Rain delay in top of 5th.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

For some reason, Megill has always terrified me. I just never have been able to believe he's closer-level good. But each successive outing makes it more and more difficult to hold that opinion.

[adambr2]

Well, we play on. I did not expect that. 

Please no Dunn for Chourio this inning.

Good thing it's in the hands of the umpires. We know what the Wrigley crew would do with that.
