He’ll miss it

GD it he needed to have a pick 6

Lol, he hadn't missed on in over a year before today. He,s left a TD on the field today. LOL @ you.

Time to look for a kicker on waivers

Terrible, just terrible play calling. It is just unbelievable how this offense just messed up this game.

One word “Craig”.

Pitching is good. They had one less hit than the Braves today. One more than the Braves yesterday. As I mentioned in my second sentence, no clutch hitting. Those last 3 innings showed us what type of hitting the Brewers have and will have the rest of next week. Absolutely no idea of the strike zone and no patience. What a waste of a pitching staff.

Yep. No way the September swoon carries over to the playoffs. Not really any clutch hitting for this team in a month.

Surprise, surprise the Red Sox and Yankees won. Typical MLB fix is in.

This game doesn’t matter Ashby just grooved that pitch on purpose

Whether we can flip the switch on or off, or if the recent past is an indication of the future…who cares. We’ll have our answerin a little less in 2 weeks. So just R E L A X, please! Don’t waste your life on something you can’t do anything about.

Braves in 4, as much as it pains me.

It was said that the incident occurred at home, well after the celebration at the stadium. Ah ok. Makes more sense now. What. Maybe got into an argument at home

No. What it proves is that Williams has an intelligence of a fish.

I totally agree with you. The fumble on the previous play, a young and inexperienced offensive line and the historically poor success rate in short yardage situations made the 3 points an attractive option. MLF was going for the kill shot with almost 3 quarters to go, which was way to early in the game I say respect the points. They left points on the table that was totally unnecessary. This was a poor decision to go for it in the 1st quarter.

You literally said "He is what he is in 2021 and any intellegent manager with deal with him in that way." How in the heck else is that to be interpreted? LOL That was in response to your comment”…..the threat of his bat needs to be at the forefront of the opposition’s mind.” What I was attempting to say is that the oppositions’s manager doesn’t look at the 2021 Yelich as the 2018-2019 version, and his “fear of Yelich” will not be the same as the past and most intelligent opposition managers will treat him that way.To hope that he will return to that MVP type player this year has a miniscule chance of happening in the next 5-6 weeks and hoping that he will is foolish.

So what I hear you saying is that there is very little chance that playoff success is going to happen in 2021. This is so “Craig Counsell”. After 2 seasons of failure you still have faith in a player that has shown little success. Remember a previous playoff game where Counsell brought in Jeffress in the 8th when he was going through a terrible stretch and then Hader in the 9th after he had given up several game winning home runs? How did that eventually work out. Counsell sticks with his horses through thick or thin despite recent history. That is a commendable virtue, however, not so much from a baseball manager. Statistically speaking, Yelich will continue to slump (or continue to be who he currently is) and will continue to bat in the same spot that Counsell has placed him all year. I don’t think at this point the opposition really cares what Yelich did in 2018 and 2019. He is what he is in 2021 and any intellegent manager with deal with him in that way. If you don’t considered history you are doomed to repeat it. Wishful thing isn’t going to get it done. Craig Counsell has proven over the years to be one of the smartest, most astute managers in the game, and the Brewers have had a run of success that is unprecedented in this team's history. There are arguments that you can logically make here, but "Craig Counsell is dumb" ain't one of them. Yes, odds are Yelich isn't going to suddenly become the 2018 version. But he isn't having a JBJ season, either. I predict he'll continue to see regular time out there, although hopefully if Taylor is heating up, he can work his way into a timeshare with both Garcia and Yelich. I never said he was dumb. That came out of your mouth, not mine. In fact he is an intelligent manager. He saw the success that KC had when they went to the World Series x2 and expanded upon it with the way he used Hader, Knebel, Jeffress and adding Woodruff, Burns and Houser to the bullpen in the playoffs -Brilliant . But as time went on he moved away from that successful plan….probably had to, to strengthen the starting rotation and the desires of Burnes, Woodruff, and Hader to be used in more traditional roles for their big payday. These windows are short, especially when the players are young and the payroll cheap. What bothers me about Counsell is that he sticks players in the same role when it is obvious to almost everyone that changes are required. I really believe this goes back to the time near the end of his career when his manager stuck with him when he went through a 0-59 stretch. He needs to be more of a manager/management than a friend.

Yeah and maybe Santa Claus will come down your chimminy on Monday.

If the Cardinals make the playoffs, they’re likely playing the Dodgers in the wild card game. I’m fine with them winning or losing that game. That said, I’d be thrilled to win 5 of 7 against them and knock them out. Wow, things have sure changed in a matter of 5 days.

Will anyone be worried if the Cards sweep the Brewers tomorrow?

No worries. I’m totally sure that they can turn it on the last week of the season. They’re just setting the Cards up for a big fall. After all we have already won over 90 games this season.

If we couldn’t score against freakin Lester and Woodford then how are we going to do anything against Mikolas and Wainwright? We’ll be lucky to get one of these next two. Then our Majik number would be 1. LOL

I agree fully, but it shouldn’t still be up in the air even to this minor degree Don’t worry, be happy.Our majik number is only 3. Does anyone really believe the Cardinals are better than the Brewers?
