Gamecast is frozen. God, I hate ESPN. -
Yeli has one home run in his last 147 AB.

Losing…..is a disease….

Warm up Williams!
-
The most Brewers ending ever. Hiura hits a home run to tie it in the bottom of the ninth. Williams gives up a game winning home run in the tenth, then breaks his hand hitting the Gatorade container.
-
Not scoring a run with one out and the bases loaded. Who do the Reds think they are, the Milwaukee Brewers?
-
We have four hits today. Their starter had a 4+ ERA, and their first three relievers had ERAs of 5 and 6+. Stellar hitting, gents.
-
Just to further twist the knife in, watch out bullpen give up another run up make it a 3-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth.

That was the 8th

Walks are killer. So are wild pitches with guys on first. This team is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Of course. Somebody shoot me.

Not off the top of my head, but a competent FO should be exploring those options right now. The question is, will they do it, or are they too busy drinking the Kool Aid? The “Counsell is one of the best managers in baseball” narrative has grown pretty stale. I think it’s clear that he’s shown how far he can take this franchise. If ownership is truly trying to compete for a World Series, they need to accept that Counsell is not the guy to do that, and start making alternate plans. Otherwise, this is still the team satisfied with making the post season. That is not what I want to see from this franchise. We used to be thrilled to make October baseball. That can’t be the bar anymore.

To add, I think a good portion of our current record is the product of the relative weakness of the division, as a whole. When I say that we’re fundamentally the worst team of the last 40 years, it might be more accurate to say that they are the most underperforming. They’re certainly on the short list. I cannot overstate how rare it is to develop the level of starting pitching talent Milwaukee has. Most of the real contenders have brought in at least one top tier starter. Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta are all Brewers lifers. We drafted Burnes, signed Peralta internationally, and traded for Woodruff (fleecing the Rangers in doing so). Considering the level of pitching talent we have, this team is underachieving in a big way in this weak division. There’s no way this team should win fewer than 93-95 games with that trio starting 60-70% of our games.

As the ‘82 team was being honored, this gnawing question crept into my head, and just wouldn’t go away: day-to-day management and front office, included, and when considering some of the talent this team does have, is this the worst team, fundamentally, the Brewers have had in the last 40 years? This, a franchise that lost 106 games in 2002. The team was rebuilt for pitching and defense. The starting rotation, when healthy, is excellent. The rest of the team is pretty poor, and the consistently baffling decisions made by Craig Counsell just compounds this team’s mediocrity. Add in the highly questionably decision making by the front office, and I’m not seeing a lot of well thought out baseball. I don’t see a direction for this team, and when one considers how adept we’ve become at developing starting pitching, which has historically been Milwaukee’s achilles’ heel, to be so bad in the areas we used to thrive in, is baffling and frustrating.
-
Well, we got two. That 7-1 start after the break seems like a distant memory, now. This is so disappointing. I’m really starting to think that the move of Hader really affected the locker room. The Brewers aren’t a great team, by any stretch. They’re probably an 85-87 win team. Not terrible. Not a true contender. But this team losing 4 of 5 to the dregs of the division, and most in comeback fashion, just reeks of the team quitting.
-
Agreed 100%, Eye Black. I have learned to temper my expectations with everything Brewers related, as I’ve been disappointed too often. I think that the Brewers could have a truly elite five man. But it’s clear to everyone, Stevie Wonder, included, that this offense needs a complete overhaul.
-
How pissed are we all at Suter if Adames jacks a bomb here, we score three in the bottom of the ninth, and lose by 1?
-
Every one of the four Brewer pitchers have given up a home run tonight, in addition to now SEVEN walks, in toto. You’d think that we were facing the ‘27 Yankees.
-
Oh, Suter…. Let’s rub a little mor salt in the wound. 6-3 is at least conceivable. 7-3 really puts us behind the 8 ball.
-
While I do think Ashby is going to be a good one-here’s hoping that he takes a step forward next year similar to the one Burnes experienced in 2020-the simple takeaway from tonight is that you cannot give out six walks, even to a team as fundamentally poor as the Reds are, and expect to win. Walks are an absolute killer. And checking the National League team defensive rankings YTD, the Brewers have a -15 team Rtot, which ranks 8th of 15 teams. -10 is league average. Baseball Reference defines Rtot thusly: ”Rtot -- Total Zone Total Fielding Runs Above Avg The number of runs above or below average the player was worth based on the number of plays made.”
-
We’re not really going to lose to the Reds, are we? They’re sending out guys with 5 and 6+ ERAs, and we can’t put up any runs?
-
40 years later, and that’s still our franchise’s shining moment. Vomit.
-
Oh yes. Much better than having Hader here. ??♂️
