The Hey its 2021 now guys MLB thread

[PGsHeroes32]

Kike Hernandez is playing decent

[Jockey]

Great game goin' on in Chicago.

I don't get the love affair with Kopech, though. Behind almost every hitter.

BTW, Wainwright is really good as a commentator.

Give Yadi all the credit for that. Obviously.

Offense once again wasting a great pitching performance. Absolutely need to score 1 in a 2&3rd no out situation. Urias managed to make 3 very bad decisions on the base path.

[PGsHeroes32]

Pulling the starter early fails yet again.

Braves we're licking their chops.

Not only wastes a great pitching performance but cuts it short.  I'm only following on gamecast, but if Cain sacrifices Urias in, I'm guessing Counsell doesn't pitch hit Vogelbach (fml) for Peralta just because there's a man on second.  Peralta was only at 57 pitches.

Cain blew up the inning. Then Counsell made a rare bad decision. I was screaming at the TV "don't do it" to no avail. Pitch count was in the 50s.

At dis rate dale neva get ta Game 5, aina?

[MUfan12]

It was a panic move by a manager who typically isn't prone to making them. And it backfired spectacularly.

Ah well, it was a fun season. Shame it had to sputter out like this.

[CreightonWarrior]

Just glad they all stayed healthy and we were able to make the dodges pitch Buehler on game 162!

[4everwarriors]

Ah, da bitch of a small market teem. Gonna hafta trade sum pitchin' ta get sume hittin', hey?

[MUfan12]

Ideal outcome.

[CreightonWarrior]

It's become pretty clear that Yelich was a sign stealer.

[MuggsyB]

Another Goose Egg for Milwaukee?  What's the prob?  You're not beating good teams with 2 runs in 3 games. 

[MUfan12]

Either he was stealing signs, or "training" with Braunie.

[BM1090]

It's become pretty clear that Yelich was a sign stealer.

Doesn't really explain his Miami days when he was a whole lot better than what we're seeing now.

Sometimes great hitters lose it. Lindor, Bellinger come to mind.

[cheebs09]

The Packers have prepared me for this.

All in all, this is what scared me about this team. Too many stretches of not being able to put runs on the board. Today they had some hard hit balls that Atlanta made some great plays on.

[tower912]

Bucks:  World champs
Packers:  NFC championship game last year.  Lock to win the north as long as ARod is healthy.
Brewers:  a great year.   Not hitting well right now.

Fans in Wisconsin:   they all suck.

When you only score in one of 26 innings, you have to do what you can to get runs in.  So I am not sure it was a panic move, but more of a roll of the dice that didn't work out.

Another Goose Egg for Milwaukee?  What's the prob?  You're not beating good teams with 2 runs in 3 games. 

This team struggled offensively at times all season.  One of the reasons I wasn't terribly excited about the playoffs is because I thought it would end in a frustrating, unable to generate offense kind of manner.

Out of the 3 fan bases, the Brewers fan base is the most miserable.

99% of Bucks fans wanted Budenholzer fired after the 1st games of the Nets series and Middleton traded (raises hand). 

Packers fans are basically the St. Louis Cardinals fans of the NFL.  They don't think so but they are.

All that said, Brewers fans feel like the most miserable and decades of being the Bengals of MLB will do that. 

[MU82]

Anderson is a very good young pitcher (I would even say a future Cy Young'er if he stays healthy), but you can't throw any better than Morton and Fried the 1st two games.

I'm very happy where the Brewers are at after facing those 2 guys.

Now 2 runs in 3 games! Still very happy, Jock? You got the Braves right where you want 'em!

On a related note ...

I hope like hell that Atlanta's G3 starter's nickname is Aqualung. Or at least Jethro.

But I mostly hope he doesn't spend his off days sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent.

He had bad enough intent for Brew Crew batters ... even if he didn't have snot running down his nose.

You're not wrong.

When they lose this series I'll be disappointed, but still look back on this season fondly. A lot of really fun moments/comebacks.

[wadesworld]

Brewers should just fly home tonight. No point in playing, season's over.

I deserved that for my Panthers comment


But it ain't over - just find a way to win tomorrow. I'd take my chances with Corbin in game 5.

Yep. We are really awful fans. I rarely see one of us in the wild and think highly of them. It's a real bummer.
