Diamondbacks (Kelly) vs Brewers (Civale): 9/21/24, 6:10pm

[Brewcrew82]

Tyler Black having a nice night at the plate tonight. I'd recall him, and give him a week's worth of ABs to see where he's at given how bad Bauers has been. 

[Brewcrew82]

MLB umpires are the absolute worst. So incredibly thin skinned and just plain not good at their jobs.

[wiguy94]

Brewers offense has 10 days to figure things out. They have been horrible in September.

[HarryDoyle]

Willy just caught an uncatchable ball.

It seems like Murphy is attempting to reduce fan expectations.

[Brewcrew82]

On the bright side, I doubt Puk and especially Martinez are available for the Dbacks tonight out of the pen.

[82brewcrew82]

Won't have the "other teams best pitchers aren't available" excuse in the post season.  They are going to have to hit.

[Brewce]

This team is incredibly difficult to watch the last few nights. Don't tell me I am being negative. I call it as I see it. They are not swinging at strikes right down the middle and are swinging at stuff outside of the zone.

Well, they will have their best hitters in Chourio and Contreras at least. 

[Pugger]

I can't watch this.  🤢

Bauers has no business being on the postseason roster, and I fear he will be. 

It's cool that he got his big moment a few days ago, but it's between him and Andruw Monasterio for worst hitter on the team. Difference is they've been smart enough not to put a bat in Monasterio's hands 350 times like they have with Bauers.

Um, Okay....

[rickh150]

Just awful, Hoskins….puk. 

[wiguy94]

Just absolute domination from the Dbacks in this series. Hard to watch the Brewers look this bad.

Eh, just random baseball-ness.

[RightFieldCoder]

The phillies dominated the brewers for one series this season. My only hope is this is the only time the dbacks dominate us this year. I fear we're seeing our first 4+ losing streak.

Hopefully the Brewers will be on the positive end of that random baseball-ness very soon.

[RobertCrawley]

Was the division win be the last good game we'll play this season?

[BruisedCrew]

Should be really fun going to the game tomorrow now that the Brewers have stopped playing.

I've learned from this board of late that a) getting emotionally invested in this team is just silliness and b) pretty much everything  is random.  Frankly, I'm having a hard time understanding why half this place even pays attention.

[RobertCrawley]

Ok. Turning the channel.

[yourout]

If we face the Dbacks in the wild card round we're not going to win.

That's why we're conceding the entire series. To bump them up to a higher seed.

Not if we get "hot".  The post season really has nothing to do with talent level.

[wiguy94]

This is my playoff lineup.

C: Contreras
1B: Hoskins
2B: Turang
3B: Ortiz
SS: Adames
LF: Chourio
RF: Frelick
CF: Mitchell
DH: Sanchez

I'm not sure there's a single other player I want to see play in the playoffs at this point.
