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

That's the sad part. I know it won't happen.

As depressed as I am about today...who is it on Saturday? Shota vs Miz/Quintana?

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

That team had their best SP on the mound in Game 5. Not cobbling together a bullpen game  with a bunch of overused relievers, possibly in front of a 50/50 crowd.

Shota vs all hands on deck except for Freddy I'd imagine...

Who starts for the Crew? Does it matter?

[GoondockSaint]

Peralta wouldn't be an ace on any other team but here we are. 

[adambr2]

Murphy took Gasser over Myers and Lockridge over Hoskins.

This man is not the genius that you think he is.

[narwhalattack]

If we do lose, at least we can spend the offseason gaslighting ourselves into getting excited over signing a few AAAA guys we’ll call starters.

[beekay414]

lol yes, keep throwing meat right in his wheelhouse. 

[HarryDoyle]

Who here said they wanted talent over experience for the playoffs?

Lockridge is there because of Chourio's hamstring.  But no idea why Gasser over Myers.

Nope. They blow it this year, my entire mentality will be "show me in October" because nothing else matters with this franchise. Mark promised a summer of fun family entertainment but he didn't say a damn thing about fall!

[BadgerFan]

What if I told you after the Brewers were swept by the Yankees in the first series of the season they'd have a one game playoff to get to the NLCS.

Are we fired up yet?!  🙃

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

Absolutely ******* not. Bauers and Vaughn  have been good.

[treego14]

Gasser is really good .......................... for the Cubs!

We have zero runs. Doesn’t matter if the prime of Greg Maddux is on the mound for us.

We have 6 guys on the roster that can play in the OF before you even get to Lockridge.

Bauers isn't just a 1B

[markedman5]

Obviously it isn’t why we lost but they was no reason whatsoever for Gasser to be on the playoff roster just because he is left handed…….just a ridiculous decision.

Not a rule against carrying another 1st baseman.

To be fair...it would be a tie game going to the 9th.

Exactly. Mark A and this organization are content to just make the playoffs. The only hope we have is that our young homegrown core grow and peak their way to a championship before they take off in five years to play for the Dodgers and Yankees.

Not feeling confident about an elimination game on Saturday with no starters available 

Peralta & Priester completely collapsed in important games that could have advanced the Brewers to the NLCS

Chicago has all the momentum as we await a winner take all series finale in two days

awful feeling after a 2-0 lead

Not as many that can play CF.
