This wasn't Craig Counsell's best managed game by any stretch of the imagination. Substituting Hiura out for defense made plenty of sense, but if he had used Perez instead of Spangenberg, he would have has another lefty available to pinch hit in the 9th. Instead all he had left was Gamel, who he had to save for the pitcher's spot. He was caught with his pants down when Arcia came up against Hudson in the 9th.

I'm sure they will, and it will be fine. This is a season, especially for the last month, that should be remembered and honored. Really? I can understand in 2008, when it was a 1 WC team format. Or even if we had won tonight. I had kind of hoped that we are past the point where we would celebrate being a team that lost the WC play-in game between the #4 and #5 seeded teams in the league. I can't imagine that is a thing in any other stadium, but maybe I am wrong. Not saying that this season shouldn't be celebrated or that it was a disappointment, but I think our goals have gotten a little beyond that. This isn't 2007 anymore.

I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not they are going to hang a little banner up in the stadium for this year.

Why can't Wisconsin sports fans have nice things?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Other Sports
Anyone else feeling this way yet? I know it's nice just to be able to experience big games, but I fully expect the Badgers to lose the B10 championship on a Hail Mary, or the Packers to lose in the playoffs on a last second fumble -- it's just the way I've been conditioned as a Wisconsin sports fan. Ugh. -
Not having Knebel was really devastating this year. Yeah, acquiring Pomeranz helped solidify the pen, but we never really got over the loss of Knebel which was compounded by the regression of Jeffress. The difference between this year and last in the pen was that this year we had absolutely no contingency plan if Hader struggled. He was so much better in a flexible role than a straight closer's role. Didn't mean he couldn't close, but last year we had Knebel, we had Jeffress. We had options if it wasn't Hader's night. This year, if it wasn't Hader's night, we were going to lose. Typically Pomeranz was already used by the time we got to Hader and I can't think of a single instance that it wasn't Hader's game to win or lose if he got the ball.

Well as much as I wasn't ready for this...time to think offseason.
-
No, that's not what you said before. You harped over and over again that it's Trent Grisham's fault. And you weren't "a little mad". You said you wanted him traded to Baltimore so we never have to see him again and hope he remembers all offseason about how *he* (singular) ruined our entire season. He screwed up. He made a mistake and it cost us big time. Prior to that, the offense screwing up by not getting a single hit w/ RISP followed by Hader screwing up by repeatedly failing to get that final out of the 8th inning while it was still 3-1. Get over it. It's done and it won't be the last time a professional baseball player screws up. If it makes you feel so much better to remind everyone repeatedly about what an awful human being Trent Grisham is than save it for your buddies at home.
-
That was absolutely maddening. I thought Tyler Austin was going to get an AB, but literally any position player on the team would have been a better option. I don't know if CC was still too dazed from what happened in the 8th, but that was a terrible decision.
-
Can we trade you to bleedcubbieblue.com and never see you again?
-
Blaming Grisham and excusing Hader is just a terrible take. Yes Grisham screwed up badly but at best it was 3-3, Josh alone was responsible for the first two runs and the way he was throwing we certainly can't assume he would have gotten the next guy. Nor would we likely have won the game anyway, good chance we would have just lost in the bottom of the 9th.
-
It wasn't just the pen. Almost every hitter in the lineup -- Moose, Hiura, Grisham, Cain, Braun, Arcia -- almost every single one came up tonight with a runner in scoring position. All failed to come through with a hit to drive that runner home. It was a season long problem and it culminated in our elimination tonight.
-
Where did I say walk Rendon. pitch carefully doesn't mean put him on. Your sense of superiority is pretty annoying sometimes. Wasn't talking to you, but nice speech.
-
Really not sure why we just let one of the worst starting hitters in baseball hit right there.
-
Hader was bad. Really no reason to try to dress it up. Grisham screwed up royally but even if he fields it cleanly it's likely 3-3.
-
Well, you guys wanting to walk Rendon got what you wanted. Made Soto beat us. And he did.
-
For how well this team played in September, they sure managed to get an entire season's worth of choking into their last week.
-
You don't purposefully put the tying run in scoring position with 2 out. You just don't. you mean winning run, right? ...no? Runner at 2nd makes it 3-3.
-

-
This is going to get epicly heartbreaking if Hader doesn't find a way to get one more out here in the 8th.
-
Nah, he sucked at baseball too.
-
The cardinal sin. Especially for such a HR prone pitcher. EDIT: or...what's the ruling?
-
Was really hoping for a big signature hit from Braun
