We are not set up for extra innings. Sometimes I hate baseball. 

I mean we kind of are. Our best bats in the bottom half with Ortiz on 2nd.

Here comes a crooked number. 

Man this sucks.

[BruisedCrew]

The end is near.

Stranding Vaughn after his leadoff triple is looming large now.

And that earlier runners at first and third with one out

Definitely doesn’t have the clutch gene.

yes, in his 2 weeks in the big leagues, it's now an objective truth that he could never be clutch

Put me on ignore then instead of being a whiny little *****.

[willie key]

Our starting pitching has carried a lot of ****** players.   A lot

[adambr2]

Now we have to try to win with an offense that can’t score and a Dan Campbell look alike.

Awesome.

Yelich and Turang right now are not anywhere close to our best bats.

A question about extra innings. 

Is a team allowed to decline the free runner at second and put him at first instead?

Then hope for a 2 run HR. 

Maybe Jean Segura can come out of retirement to steal first base to get to a runner on first instead of second?

[RobertCrawley]

Worried here. Kuhnel needs a strikeout, and I don't think he's a strikeout pitcher, is he?

Edit: Got one there!

I was thinking that.  Two other chances with a runner on 2nd and 1 out.

goin 0 for 7 in those chances most likely means losing the game and wasting another stellar outing by a brewers SP

I'm not the one with 10 thousand posts of whiny bull

I hope you're like 14 years old

With all the injuries, their pitching is a bunch of scrap-heap pickups that would get lit up by most AAA lineups (and in some cases, has).  Abysmal failure by the position players (and given the approaches, probably hitting coaches).

Unfortunately, the league straightened out after that one that what he did wasn’t legal.

Why wasn't Pratt bunting anyway?

Because Bauers whiffed on a pitch up in his eyes prior to Pratt batting.  Brewers got caught with their two worst hitters up back-to-back in a clutch situation. They both did what everybody expected, whiffed on pitches that were balls. 

[yourout]

The only thing I don't like about walking him is now a base hit is two runs.

[RobertCrawley]

Walking Bregman is not the worst outcome here.

His bat is not why they signed him and he was not hitting particularly well in Nashville.

Not saying he couldn’t develop that part of his game someday, but he’s not currently going to be a high end MLB bat. 

[trwi7]

Can we go with Koenig here or something?

[RobertCrawley]

Kuhnel needs to gather himself. Hook to the mound?

[82brewcrew82]

What was that sequence....

[rccola42]

It's getting tough now because I'm starting to think we need 3 relievers at the deadline and that's just not going to happen.

That would be the prudent move.
