Unable to see the game, did they really intentionally walk the bases full? Or was there a missed steal?

Runner on 3rd and there was one out. The Brewers walked the next two hitters.

Didn't really matter.  One run wins it.  So you have to get the out at home better for it to be a force than a tag play.  They still needed two outs so if the ball is hit on the ground you basically create an out at any base.  If the DP is not there you go home for the force.

Why? If it was the us we would have the contact on and get thrown out at the plate. Nobody else does that?

Payamps is getting really really hard to trust in any leverage situation.

He has passed that point several times now but we are out of options.

The Hoskins situation is getting worse not better and the pulling of your best hitter this past month because he hits right handed must be addressed.

Would rather see Frelick hit for Hoskins. Brutal confidence killer for Chourio. 

If he'd be bothered by stuff like that his confidence would've been killed a long time ago. He ain't that type. At the end of the day, they pushed some correct offensive buttons today.

I was "fine" with Frelick hitting for Chourio because it put another good defender in the vast OF.

Hoskins not getting the run in was frustrating but really tonight was a typical game in Colorado. I was hoping we'd steal it but after the 10th that went out the window.

Seven runs is fine, even in Denver.  IMO pitching let us down tonight.  We would battle back and take the lead only to give it up in the following half inning.  We gotta find somebody better than Wilson.  Frustrating game to watch for sure.

Payamps needs to find his mojo again.

Maybe the mojo is spent and he’s back to being the guy who was on waivers 5 times and sold once before being traded to Milwaukee.

This is just not correct. Sorry. The kid is the number 2 prospect in the game. He has an 8 yr future of the franchise deal. He has been your best hitter for a month and had a hit and drove in two runs earlier. At what point is it about more than just today's game? Obviously it it was just about today's game Hoskins would have been hit for as well. Imagine the Padres hitting for Jackson Merrill in a tie game because a relief pitcher is coming in. Madness.

This was kind of like a slowpitch softball game, where it makes little difference who's pitching. Just who's going to have more timely line drives off the tee. Someone mentioned Hudson. If he's never thrown here before I don't think you want him out there in a tie game, taking a batter or three to figure out if your stuff reacts the same way it reacts everywhere else. At the end of the day their most effective pitcher was Zastryzny, only because he was just out there for three hitters. 

You simply can't walk people in Coors, yet Wilson walks a pair one inning & IIRC that was his only scoreless frame. Just a weird place.

The back-to-back int'l walks in the 10th was interesting because unless you get a DP it guaranteed you'd have to face Blackmon.

Early returns on Haase & Mitchell are thumbs up, although Mitchell walked on what could've easily been strike three, then strikes out on a pitch that wasn't close. He's talented but I still want to see how all-over-the-map he's going to be.

I suspect Keuchel has worked in Coors before. But what is 'secondary stuff' for others is his primary bread-and-butter. Even if he happened to pitch well his last time out, I just don't know how that'll play in this ballpark. We shall see.

I guess it’s what happens when you don’t have many starting pitchers who go beyond 5 innings. The bullpen starts getting fatigued. Milner on pace for 74 appearances; Payamps pitching more than ever in his career has an era close to 5.00 since May 1st

You said that the move to PH for him was a brutal confidence killer. I disagree.

Now you're saying you disagree with the decision, which is fine. Frankly, I wouldn't have hit for him either. But your being upset with the decision has zero to do with it somehow destroying his confidence. Again, if that sort of thing sends him into some sort of mental tailspin, it would've done that a long time ago.
