I was good and had a salad for lunch today, but I just drowned my sorrows in a bag of mini doughnuts. -
I'm currently watching the part in Independence Day when the aliens start obliterating everything. A couple people here are acting like Grisham is one of those aliens.

Of course Grisham should get some blame for an error that let the winning run across. As I said earlier, though, there is as difference between being mad at the person and being mad at the situation. I am disappointed that what happened happened, but I'm not going to be all pissed off at Grisham the person. He made an error. He was trying. The ball took an odd hop to his right and because he was too aggressive in his pursuit of the ball, he wasn't prepared to adjust. It's not like he was being lazy. I don't get furious with athletes for failure. Guys screw up sometimes. They were trying their best and that was that. Doesn't mean I'm not sad that the Brewers lost and frustrated with the way it happened. Again, there's a difference between directing anger toward a person and directing anger toward the result.

I think the frustrating thing about Hader - and I'm not looking at stats to back this up - is that he seemed very much like a feast or famine guy this season. He either looked good and shut the door or blew up. It felt like if he went 2-0 on the leadoff batter or let a guy on base, that was it, he was giving it up. It's probably just selective memory, but that's what it felt like. Last year, we all felt like when he came in, the other team was dead. This year, I doubt many of us had a ton of confidence when he took the mound. We knew he COULD be lights-out, but it felt like a coin flip if he WOULD be.

huh? Does not compute... I know, man. I should probably write some hate mail to Grisham like Texas is going to, but I'm going to do some work, get to bed, then wake up in a few hours to help my kids get ready for school. I will, though, root solely for schadenfreude in the rest of the playoffs.
-
I'll admit, part of me is a little relieved it's over. Been a stressful couple months in my household and this month is going to be very busy and tiring. I don't know how I could have dealt with a playoff run. I still would've preferred a win, though.

You need to be upset at the situation and not the player. There's a difference.
-
Eh, I don't think people will care about Grisham's error in the long-run. The game would've been tied and they still would've had runners on base, not to mention at least another inning to score again. While anything can happen, the Brewers clearly were not a championship-caliber team this season. Losing this came most likely just meant we play three or four more games against the Dodgers before being finished with the season. Sure, I'm disappointed - and nobody is more upset than Grisham and Hader - but if we're being honest, we know it didn't cost us a World Series.

2019 MLB Playoffs Preview and Discussion
dlk9s replied to Eye Black's topic in Archived Game Threads
The brewers have a pretty darn good lineup if they can get healthy. Not including yelich, it's a pretty strong group. And we have enough quality pitchers we can throw out to match up with the nats. Let's also remember their bullpen isn't super strong. Unless they go a bit overboard and piggyback strasburg and scherzer... we have a chance if we can keep runs off the board and get to the bullpen. The Nationals will totally throw Strasburg and whoever else they need if Scherzer doesn't go deep. In fact, they might use Strasburg even if Scherzer does go deep. They will absolutely use as many of their best pitchers as necessary. We won't see their crap bullpen unless it's out of hand. -

"Tuffy Gosewisch" is on that list just to prove we all read it, right? -
I don't want to do the math on how many strikeouts Scherzer and Strasburg are going to have.
-
The Brewers have proven everyone wrong all year, but this does not feel like their game tonight.
-
I was thinking the same thing.
-
Let's use your example of beating the Reds twice and the Cards losing once. I'm making these numbers up, but let's also say the Brewers had a 60% chance to win each of those games and the Cards were also 60% (I'm guessing Cards probability was a bit lower, Brewers might have been, too, but let's just use those figures). The probability of two Brewers wins and one Cards loss was therefore .6 x .6 x .6 = .216. That's 21.6% for that exact three-game scenario to play out and that just gets us to 1 game back. Then there are more games that need to work out just right this weekend. I could easily see us being 5% to win the division before yesterday.

Don't look now, but if we win today, we'll have a POSITIVE RUN DIFFERENTIAL!

Grisham must feel bad and good at the same time.

Good lord - I checked the score on my phone and it was 0-0 after the first batter. I think switched over to YouTube to turn on the Cards game. They zoomed in on our game on the scoreboard and now it was suddenly 5-0! I need to not look away. EDIT: And now more! The ball is so juiced.
