This sucks but it’s not at all surprising.

So, you have not been at any of the playoff games. 

I love being lectured from a guy’s couch. Meanwhile I’ve gotten light-headed from screaming the past two nights. Hardly sat last night.

I have been to about a dozen playoff games. None this year. And I don't need to go to them to tell you that the environment at Wrigley was superior to these, even if that hurts your little feelings for some reason. The events transpiring on the field tend to have a large effect on the environment. This is shocking to you for some reason and very hurtful. I'm sorry.

When the guy consuming 20% of the payroll is solely a DH who hasn’t hit in a month, you have zero chance of beating the Dodgers.  And he has three years left on his contract.

If we could spend like the Dodgers, Yelich's contract would be peanuts.

You must not be sitting behind the plate, because they've been on their ass 98% of both nights, justifiably.

Murphy signaled surrender with Myers in the game. Down 4-1 with an offense that has been almost noexistent, he figured why not. Next will be Gasser. Game over..... Maybe the Brewers can get something going in LA.

I concur, 

BUT

I think we might pull a rabbit out of the hat, yet!

It's so raucous that you're here during a game you're attending. Talk about a wild crowd!

That “L” flag celebration at the end of the Cubs’ series was always cringey and looks worse now. My first thought was “this is going to become a talking point and a punchline if we don’t win again this year”, and that looks like that might be exactly what happens.

That moment should have been about the Brewers, not the Cubs.

Meh. They beat their divisional rival and mocked them. Not that deep.

Unless you are at the game now or were there last night, you have no basis for making that statement. 

At my age I’m not the type to be standing up and yelling, but I had to get up frequently last night to see. Like almost every time a Dodgers hitter had two strikes  

I could only guess what the crowd would have been like if the Brewers had put together some scoring opportunities in the first 8 innings. It was insane in the 9th.

Apparently that doesn’t come across on TV.

The crowds for the Brewers games at Wrigley had a reason to be consistently energetic. They were ahead for the whole games after the first inning homers  

I, too, was at Game 1 and it was plenty loud.  During most of the game, you would hear groups around the stadium start the "Let's go Brewers" chant.  I watched part of the replay on TV and the TV didn't do it justice.  There is somebody with their fingers on the dial (or the slider) to alter what is getting to the consumer.

I am somebody who stands up and yells when there is two strikes and it miffs me off during the regular season when a game is close and the crowd doesn't get up and yell.  That was not an issue during game 1.

This is just so lopsided.  Really makes you appreciate just how good that 2018 team was.

What a pathetic response.

I never said that how the game is going doesn’t affect the crowd. And my “little feelings” are not hurt by your comments.

But I am not sorry to tell you that the stadium last night was not “like a library”.

[CheezWizHed]

Enough with the crowd discussion.

I can’t imagine that the most optimistic people in this forum truly believe that Milwaukee will suddenly come to life in LA & make this a competitive series 

This is has been an incredible season … it will soon come to an end against a better team that is playing their best baseball of the season while we are limping to the finish line 

Thank God we had enough left in the tank to knock off the Cubs & keep them quiet this offseason

It was until the bottom of the 9th, which is understandable when you don't hit the ball out of infield. But you are taking the concept of the Brewers poor play influencing the fans' energy very personally for some incredibly bizarre reason.

I still love Pat Murphy and his pancakes and his quips!

I still love our young guys' grit!

I still love our fans spending all their money and cheering their throats out!

I still love that we can overcome so much being the smallest market in the MLB!

Let's make the Dodgers sweat now!

[CheezWizHed]

Well, at $2M/year, Ohatani could be a Brewer's (non)hitter...

Kind of wish he wasn’t on ours.

This is only possible if someone trips the breaker to the AC unit in their locker room

Never give up.  Never. No one said the playoffs are easy.  

But some of us have to be optimistic... most people gave up against the Cubs.  Watching sports and expecting to lose is no way to live.

The only weakness this Dodgers team when it's moderately healthy has is the bullpen.  When their starters give them 7 innings plus, they really can hide that weakness and limit how much risk to actually have it cost them games - especially when their offense grinds through a pitching staff in a long series.  If Sasaki throws strikes, that really leaves only a few outs other relievers need to get.

 

I posted this early in this game thread - the four starters the Brewers will face in games 1-4 carry an AAV contract number that exceeds total team payrolls of nearly 2/3rds of MLB rosters.   The Dodgers can easily afford this due to deferred money gymnastics knowing their TV deal gives them roughly $350M annually just because its LA.  Baseball can be random in the postseason - but when it has to be crazy random to even give a different team a prayer in a 7 game series, the game loses.  Thats where we are at right now with this Dodgers team.

 

Brewers pen is toasted in multiple spots and it isnt even the end of game 2, and their offense isnt getting enough guys on base to make it matter.

Meh…we beat good/great starters all year.  It’s looking bleak now but we did beat them like 8 straight.  And yes, they have a huge money advantage and such and that is unfair and such but we just have hit awful for several games now outside of a few HRs.  I blame us first.
 

need an inning with a couple of walks, an error, jam job hit, a steal, double….

Do we have any pitching coming for opening day? We really need some more fresh blood.
