Such a lame excuse. They've made the playoffs every since but one since 2018 and haven't won a single series since then. 

I've watched Atlanta, Tampa, Kansas City and Arizona play in recent World Series games. Seattle and Toronto are in the running right now. 

Every team that came into existence after 1982 have been to multiple World Series except Colorado, and they have been to one more than us since.

Well, Fred's locked in now. Let's score some darn runs.

Ortiz or Turang could sit a game or two right now.  Can Lockridge play 2B or SS, Murph?

Mariners 0 WS appearances.

Freddy settled in and gave you a chance, guys. Stop looking like children up there.

[adambr2]

Obviously, Freddy was not fantastic today, and made a huge mistake to Happ, but this is more about the offense right now.

Not many games in MLB history won with 0 runs. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

The pattern of shutting down the Cubs offense after the 1st Inning is starting to hold true again in Game 4. Need to take advantage of that.

Playoff Sal plus regular Blake plus regular Joey doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Need a couple guys to string hits together. Right now everyone walking up there to score 3 runs with the swing of a bat with no one on.

That's being generous and would suggest they have some kind of plan.  They look completely overwhelmed to me.

[kevinisaname]

That's a start! C'mon, guys!

[adambr2]

This is the 3rd or 4th leadoff man on? GOT to get something going.

[edfunderburk]

I may hate the Cubs (with Counsell) more than I love the Brewers … & that’s quite a statement because I’m as devoted a fan as anyone here

[treego14]

There we go, Sal!

He better not freaking bunt.

[TURBO]

I was talking to some people this morning, and the conversation turned to Murphy and his ridiculous and unneeded manipulation of his line-up yesterday.  Every person in this group of 4 of us was hoping against all hope that he learned his lesson, and would go back to those original line-ups.

Nope, he just couldn't do it.

[Bulldogboy]

Ortiz going to hit this inning? Wagers now.

[MuckyFingers]

He better PH for Ortiz.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Gotta find a way for the bottom of the lineup to do something good here....Brewers have been getting hits in front of rally killers

[adambr2]

Give Rhys a shot. Now. 
 

Oh wait, we have Brandon Lockridge.

[Fear The Chorizo]

That was ball 4 blue

[kevinisaname]

And Blake should have walked. And now he does.

[82brewcrew82]

Smart, set up the DP for Ortiz.
