    The pitching choices have not hurt the Brewers outcomes in the slightest. Considering the opponent, it mostly worked out as intended. I can't pin this on one guy or moment, but that Turang Game 1 9th inning AB felt like the hole in the life boat.

    I think it's kind of a compliment to this team that I still have some non-fantastical vision of winning this series. Like I expect them to still go out and play like they think they can win, which isn't always the case. This is a bummer. I really did not see this version of this team going out like this.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    You're a great fan and I'm sure you stood up a lot. I apologize for everything.
  4. OldSchoolSnapper
    Correct. It was not some admonishment of Brewers fans. You have to give them something to cheer.

    6-year SSH and I was at Game 6 and Game 7 of the two prior NLCS. However, unlike you, I don't think that makes me a better fan than someone who doesn't want to buy a ticket for any of about a million legitimate reasons. The fans had their energy sucked out both games, by Marcum and Yasiel Puig. It was the same thing after those moments. Sitting around praying something would happen, with the excitement sucked out of the building. It's completely baffling to me why you're taking that so incredibly personally.

    My God dude. You really can't accept the fact that the home team's fans were more roused in a game they were winning and cranking out home runs, than they were during a game where they didn't hit a ball out of the infield until the 9th inning. Do you not see the hilarity in both of you showing up here during the game you were allegedly at, to post here about how great the crowd was? I know that when I'm at AmFam and the place is rocking, the first thing I do is whip out my phone and log on to BF! Go load the stream in innings 2-8 and take a look at the fans behind the plate. Tell me what they're doing. I can't make it any more clear: The Brewers play itself sucked the life out of the stadium. There was very little home field advantage after the first inning in either game. It's OK - it's not an attack on you, or the kind of fan you are, even though you seem hell-bent on categorizing any fan who didn't attend the game as beneath you.

    It was a great year, really. I think in one of those prospectus things I read in March we were something like 80-82. Even the consensus here in late April was "rebuilding year." I said it at some point. We looked really bad. We got the Webbs streak. We won the division. Turang, Frelick, Chourio were all improved. Miz was a lot of fun. Woodruff was throwing well. Won the division. Eliminated the Cubs. The end is never fun, but it was a great year.

    On the disappoinment side of things, I think the worst part of this is that if you told me we'd surrender 2, 5 and 3 runs respectively, I'd probably guess we were ahead 2-1. I knew their pitching was good. It was their lineup that I thought would overwhelm us. It didn't and we never really competed in these games.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    They're the two most talented guys.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    It wasn't actually. The point was that that loud crowd was stymied by lousy play, which it was. Two guys who were there took offense and were posting during the game, which should tell you what you need to know about the atmosphere.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Obviously this is better. But they have been incredibly successful for the last 10 years. People naturally start to yearn for more. People want to see their team win one. Can't fault them for that.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's baseball so I don't know that anything is likely, but we definitely had a chance. Here, we don't. And that hurts. We were so close once again. Just can't clear that hurdle.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Careful. I almost started a war suggesting the crowd at AmFam was bored after 18 innings of this.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yelich has sucked but come on. Like he was ever going to be left off the roster or benched. I get we're disappointed, but c'mon. We were more than a Yelich away from competing in this. Philly's star studded lineup didn't do much better. Smoltz is right. We ran into a juggernaut.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Story of this series. As soon as we went down, I've felt like the game is over. Every night.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    Honestly if we're going to lose I'd prefer it to be like this. I get my money back for Games 6 and 7, and I've had my lifetime fill of watching other teams celebrate the pennant on our field. In my dreamlike state I thought we might be up 3-2 and wanted to make sure I'd be there for the pennant. Maybe someday I guess.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's tough for me to upset about anything that's happening really. We pitched well enough to compete in this series. We just had no answer offensively, and a lot of that wasn't anything other than elite pitchers peppering the strike zone against average hitters. It's a small consolation that our pitching staff answered the call for the most part and proved it can give you a chance against a star studded lineup. It is what it is. We got outgunned plain and simple.

    Dodgers prepping the paperwork for the $500mm deal they're going to sign Miz to in 2032 or whatever.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Useless enough I would have preferred Hoskins at SS.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    I have to eat my words with Bauers as he's been a bright spot the whole playoffs.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Realistically it's just very hard to imagine winning a series after losing game 1 with that one in a million double play and loading the bases in the 9th. It's pretty improbable to win 4 games outside of that. But we're here, so there's no point in not dreaming.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    They will just have to keep doing this and like any other non-juggernaut, get a bit of luck. Luck like a catastrophic injury(ies) to the Dodgers at an inopportune time, or luck like the Dodgers have to play San Diego or something in a Wild Card series and happen to lose two games, which is just easier to do than four times. I don't really accept that we'll never see the Brewers win. It may not be with this cycle of guys, but if you keep putting yourself in the tournament, you have chances. An 84-win Dbacks team just got there two years ago. It will always appear unlikely, but doesn't mean it won't happen. It's just more likely to be an Atlanta situation where we have to make it 12/15 years to win once.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Eh. I pretty much know what's coming here but when I and many others said, beat the Cubs and it's a good season, I at least meant it. It's been a good season. Memorable group of players. Probably a top 4 Brewers season of my lifetime. '08, '11, '18, '25. Feeling it wind down is a bummer but if this is it, we extended the season to October 17ish, which is more than I can reasonably expect. So, I feel content, and if we win any games here, just a bonus.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Chicago made the playoffs, which is a giant consideration there.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Realistically much lower. I am not forking this just yet. There is a lot of ball left and weird things happen all the time. Very meh Dbacks team was in this position just a couple years ago (although they were headed back home) and ended up advancing past Philly. 3-0 is a death sentence, 2-0 is trouble, but you're not dead just yet.
