Will our closer pitch again or are we screwed.     Last night sucked having to bring him in

We're more of a closer by committee. Abner is very capable of that role this year

Checking in and saw Murph went to Nick Mears again. Ugh I really don't like Mears usage lately. It's borderline psychotic especially when he is one of our only reliable high leverage guys. 

If Murphy goes to Megill to close this out, Arnold should dismiss him before tomorrow’s game 

[Gump]

Let’s get this win.  🤞

[edfunderburk]

This is one of the rare games to feel like the 2024 Brewers team

Hopefully, Uribe can close the door & get us a hard fought win in a game started by Skenes 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Boy I sure jinxed that 

 

[Gump]

Of course….

[Underachiever]

Anything that flies that far should have a damn stewardess on it

[yourout]

Ugh....

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This team just isn't good. 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Not a terrible pitch especially at 99 with sink sometimes the other guy just wins. Shake it off.

[Bulldogboy]

Bullpen is just about done. It's May

[yourout]

This isn't going to end well.

[Brewer77]

Cruz has 6.4 career fWAR and at least half of that has to come from games against the Brewers

That's why I just turned it off.

[yourout]

While we have zero come from behind nineth thinning wins we've certainly allowed a few.

[edfunderburk]

As bench coach, shouldn’t Weeks be helping Murphy keep track of pitcher usage & using his strong personality to challenge such overuse of a beleaguered bullpen?

[willie key]

Some guys can’t close 

[edfunderburk]

This game was very winnable 

 

[Frisbee Slider]

Ashby in the tenth?

[edfunderburk]

Ashby walks far to many to pitch extra innings games

Who else can throw tonight?

[adambr2]

Bauers has had some brutal at-bats tonight. 

[Bulldogboy]

Bauers keeps coming up against lefties and Collins and Cameron are available. 

[Brewer77]

They are not seeing this slider at all

[MilwaukeeBeers]

It probably will and should be Ashby. We just dont have any fresh arms.

Tyler Alexander’s arm hasn’t fallen off yet. Rob Z?

I think we ride or die with Ashby.
