Somehow I knew that Murph would be exposed during the playoffs 

 

All he had to do was the same exact thing he did the first 2 games and somehow he couldn’t do that.

And Megill starts it off with a walk to the 9 hitter. Greaaaaat.

[treego14]

We give away an out with Ortiz.

The ump puts Yeli in the hole with Cub-favorable pitch call.

Chourio thinks he has to swing at the first pitch instead of letting Palencia sweat a bit!

Uggghhhh!

And the announcing is horrific!  Those guys just ride the big-market-team-wave .... Boooo!

Yeah we suck. Game over. Season over. Only the Brewers would humiliate themselves like this. Repeatedly. Started in '19 with that Hader meltdown and it's been a comedic failure since then. They will never change. Never. 

Relax…

[Bulldogboy]

Imagine how insane that bunt was now. You burned one of your 15 outs you have left only to hope that a lefty on lefty matchup would pay off in a way where you would still be down all so you can say I have my best defensive shortstop in the game. There really isn't anything else I need to see. The series is not going to end the way we want it to. The manager decided at some point just boring old winning isn't enough.

Murphy copying Coun$ell here using Megill this early.

Meh, since it was Joey, I'm fine with that, but then our two best hitterrs crapped the bed.

Pinch hitting was an option … bunting was a bad decision

Yeah, we are afraid of Shaw for no good reason.

Murphy ????????????? We hit all year. Like we can't see the ball tonight. not Murphy's fault at all.

He’s not the clutch dude that people think he is.

97 PA in the playoffs coming into tonight, 3 RBI. 2 HR. .760 OPS

[yfinn6]

Your offense scores 16 runs in two games so you tinker with the lineup in a stupid way and then you do it again the next night and we're expecting a different result? 

Did Murphy get too high on his own supply after Monday night's game? Just what in the F is going on.

You can't bunt down 3. Period. 

[RobertCrawley]

Maybe bringing in Megill here creates some urgency for bats.

Never bunt down three runs 

Stupid decision to waste an out there

I think Murphy was right there. Ortiz is one of the worst hitters in MLB and Murphy had his RBI leader up next. Unfortunately Yelich choked and Churio failed too. He can now pinch hit for Ortiz later. 

[82brewcrew82]

 And Megill comes in firing strik.........oh wait.

So, mediocre.

He's already in uniform. I think Murphy should slot himself in to pinch hit.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Two leadoff walks, a leadoff double...zero runs

The 1st inning runs given up every game is frustrating as hell....but at some point you have to score

Batting Yelich lead off against a lefty

Bunting down three runs

Those decisions are on Murphy

Absolutely idiotic, and predictable offensive results.

We’ve scored 2 runs outside the fluke pop up the last 15 innings.

.385 OBP. That's why you hit him leadoff

Not entirely but he gets a good amount of the blame

Murphy's a really good clubhouse guy but he is very average as a tactician and game manager

You mean with nobody on base like yesterday after he let him hit with 2 on base. Murphy ball doesn't make sense.
