The lack of offense has been brewing for a while now. This was a meaningful game tonight, and we were completely non-competitive at the plate. This team looks like a shell of its former self in August.

We look like the early May version of the 2025 Brewers at the most inopportune time 

[Yaz19]

Shades of 2021 - The offense is flailing.   Only saving grace is the Brewers are in the NLDS instead of the WC round.

At this point, all we can really do is hope that the reset after the regular season energizes this team, both offensively and the pitching staff.

Obviously, if we play the way we have the past month, we aren't going to last long in the play-offs.

They basically have a whole week off.   I really don’t think these games are going to say much about how we play next week.   They could be insanely hot and then still have a whole week off.

So we have to wait another week to be disappointed with an early exit 

[Frisbee Slider]

2018 we were rolling with Gio Gonzalez, Woodruff (rookie),, Chacin, Miley, Peralta (rookie), Burnes (rookie). 

Brewers had the lead or were tied late in all seven games in the NLCS.

Hey at least the long range forecast for next weekend is looking good.

[willie key]

We have a lot of hitters nursing hamstrings, bruised wrists, chronic back etc.    the week off should be good.   They will be firing along with the crowd.   But I really don’t want a billion cubs fans here

Ahhhh, my bad.

Can we get a member of the media to ask what's up with Collins? Why is Durbin out tonight? Why is your best power threat leading off? Why are you playing station to station ball the past month? I keep hearing how defense keeps Joey in the lineup but Bauers in left is necessary? I mean we need answers and no kids in the media room please. 

[MoreTrife]

Really frustrating road to the playoffs.

Here is what we need to do

frelick

chourio

yelich

contreras

vaughn

turang

collins

durbin

ortiz.   And then pull his ass out when the bases are loaded

 

and be done with it.   Set it and forget it

It doesn’t matter what order you put them when literally nobody is hitting well..

Hard to string 3 hits together.

Pocket pancake day appeared to be a huge success 🤷‍♂️🙂

All I have to say is Bauers better not be starting in LF in the playoffs.

The media does not ask those kinds of questions.

The media is more concerned with pocket pancakes than actual baseball questioning.

They will lob a few softball questions that mean nothing, and call it a night.

They did the same thing with Counsell.

I can't stand it when his kids are at the press conference.  It's just inappropriate.

[Sixtolezcano]

I wonder how Murphy will spin this embarrassing loss?

Looks like that will be the case,

Ever since we clinched we've been playing like crap. 

[HarryDoyle]

I see Miles Mikolas gave up three home runs in five innings today.

Nope, he has his human shields along with him.

Hard to stay hungry, hard to stay hungry, hard to stay hungry...

His exchange with his son there was cringeworthy. 

Geez.

We've actually been playing like crap for over a month now.

Offence is due to put up a 10 spot one of these days.

Not exactly the answer you want to hear from your leader.
