This could be one of the worst losses of the year. Buckle down

Not sure it matters but one one complaint against Murphy is his inability to manage the bullpen & know when to take a pitcher out of the game

This is infuriating … back to back nights … we may not be so lucky tonight

No team should lose a game they lead by six runs

This is no longer enjoyable … especially after a long day at work

[wOOgiE22]

A batter too late Murph. I was hopeful that Tobias would have been able to finish it tonight with the 5 run lead, but nope.

Koenig hadn't pitched in a while.

Right, but 34 pitches, especially when he’s been hit hard, is too long to leave him hanging.

[Fear The Chorizo]

This is what happens when you play everyday, constantly.  Myers not being able to get any length from the pen had Murphy trying to squeeze a couple more outs from Koenig than he should have.

 

This pitching staff is completely gassed right now.

Got to question Murphy not going to Miller to turn Petdomo around……can’t let him hit right handed when he is hitting 340 from that side…….

That last one is on Murphy. I know he got the 2 K’s, but just stuck with Koenig way, way too long.

This is why I said McGee call up Made no sense. It's already proven they don't trust him so a short pen is made shorter. Everyone needs to be an option at all times.

Honestly he didn't pitch tonight either.

Much better than Nestor Cortes at Yankee Stadium!

Oh, I agree he should have been taken out earlier, I was just saying he hadn't pitched in quite some time, so fatigue shouldn't be an excuse for him.

I wouldn't even say that he was hit hard.  Couldn't have been more than one hit that had an EV>90mph.

He was hit, but soft contact balls that found gaps, grounders that found holes with the exception of McCann's double off the wall.

[edfunderburk]

Who gets to be the hero tonight?

I believe we have four different players who have hit their first ever walk off HR this year

Durbin, Yelich, Monasterio, & Contreras 

Is that accurate?

Are there others?

[kevinisaname]

Wow, Mona has been the recipient of two bad calls (that went the Brewers' way).

And struck out anyway.

[BarremlensTSSC]

Mona was not seeing Saalfrank well at all that at bat.

[kevinisaname]

1-2-3 in the bottom of the 8th. I hope we have more to give than that.

[brooks_quichenick]

Keep it where it’s at, Shelby

[adambr2]

That was not the offensive output that we needed in the 8th.

[Nola Beery]

It must be frustrating, if not infuriating, to lead by 6 and score 8 and watch your bullpen waste it all.

Probably so, but they still need to get through another month. Yikes.

Mona wasn't seeing it.  Even Turang just about bailed out of the box on the 1st pitch of his at bat on a curve that nearly caught the zone.  They just weren't picking it up off Saalfrank at all.

Monasterios extra inning HR was not a walk off. 

Collins had the walk off against the Mets.

[Bulldogboy]

This pen has me missing Joel Payamps. 

[ClearWaterWI]

Brewers are making opposing pitchers look like Cy Young Award winners 8 out of 9 innings. 

[kevinisaname]

Another misplay. Yuck.

[kevinisaname]

Just not paying attention today.

[yourout]

We're screwed now.
