What's the "time of possession" in this game?  It seems the Cubs have been at-bat all game!

That's what happens when all you have is two light singles and a double down the line to call your offense

I was pissed after Game 3.

Today I'm just depressed, deflated and on the verge of giving up. 

We have a one game playoff to go to the NLCS and I feel like I don't even want to watch. This franchise.

Their all star closer also blew the save in game 5. 

Yea, and then they found a way to win the game, like I said.

If there’s any consolation in losing this series (and I’m not sure there is any) it would be that it has been exposed that this team would be squashed by the Dodgers.

Now that the Dodgers have Ohtani, Snell, Glasnow, and Yamamoto as SP, and their HOF and All Star string of hitters healthy and producing, the series would be a mismatch. 
 

With 5 games and 6 days the Brewers pitching staff would be dead before the series could come back to Milwaukee. 
 

Im still holding out hope (with no expectation) for the Brewers to ride the home crowd to a win on Saturday so I can use the tickets I bought for Game 1 on Monday. But this Brewers team looks defeated.

The 2011 team went up 2-0, choked 2 games away on the road, and found a way to win G5, I think these guys can too.

I'm not going to cry and throw my hands up until it's over.

Yeah. what’s the point? If they lose 3 in a row I’ll be pissed and disappointed. Win in 3, 4, or 5 and I’ll be equally happy. Why get upset until it’s over?

Same except I won’t watch.  I can’t watch the Cubs celebrate in our park.  Too painful.

Doom, gloom and tears is the name of the game here.

I don’t remember how I felt after Game 4 in 2011 but I can’t imagine that it was this helpless.

I was nervous, but the playoffs were still a novel thing at that point. Obviously, the history since then doesn't lend itself to confidence here, but I'm not giving up hope in the 2025 Brewers until the final out.

Some people just feel better when miserable.

I don't want to hear any more about how this is a successful model in building a winning team. Maybe for regular season success but sure as hell not for October. Teams need to spend money to go deep. Get Schwarber this winter. That's all I ask.

[adambr2]

Leadoff man on. Again. Because that’s done us a fat lot of good all game.

All you can do at this point is try to get on, and hope the next one gets on.

[bm1090]

7 more walks and we’re right back in it

And we fly out on a 3-1 count. I think I would have taken 2 more pitches. 

[beekay414]

We didn't have Turdin, LOLtiz and I need some Perk(s) in our lineup in 2011.

You’re gonna have some guy who hit .214 and 2 HR and you’re gonna LIKE IT

[adambr2]

Thanks again for the lineup, Pat! Way to shake things up! Pocket pancakes!

[MuckyFingers]

Yelich with two walks tonight.  Better have him hit leadoff again in Game 5.

Our best hitter should feel free to hit. 

[beekay414]

Regular season merchants, always. 

[CheezWizHed]

It's all a big setup... get them feeling comfortable and then crush them!

Sir we started Brandon Lockridge in a playoff game. You’ll get Rowdy Tellez before you get Kyle Schwarber.

[Bulldogboy]

Rhys Hoskins is somewhere going i couldn't make this roster at all?

His literal best case scenario was making it 5-2. You need baserunners.

Don't worry, he will...
