Former owner of the bike getting hosed.

Burnes is a loser

[Dickthedribbler]

In the last 36 hours I've learned that the #2 pitcher is out with a bum arm and I've watched the so called ace of the staff get shelled through 4 innings at home.

Not the way I expected this week to start.

20 fanbases would happily swap with you.  Playoffs are hard.   All good teams who punish mistakes.

Can't do anything about Brandon Woodruff. Athletes get injured.

But a veteran like Burnes, I don't expect to see 3 hanging curve balls end up in West Allis through 4 innings.

The ghost of Brooks Robinson.

[CreightonWarrior]

Brutal

Take a HBP with the bases loaded in a playoff game, Turang

[The Sultan]

C'mon. What's with the base running? Adames last inning and now Yelich.

[PGsHeroes32]

Lets hope Royce has better injury luck than Buxton. Because hes also a way better player

Total game changer

Glad to finally win one. Need more than that though.

Seriously.

Is left-handed hitting Rowdy Tellez hurt??
Because that would be the only explanation preventing the sending of a guy who hasn't put the bat on the ball since May, Jesse Wanker, to pinch hit in a one run game in the 8th, from being the stupidest decision I've ever seen Counsell make.

If Tellez is hurt, my apologies to the manager.

[CreightonWarrior]

What a dud.

He's healthy and Winker could barely make it through the at bat.

[Dish]

Dbacks/Brewers game was way overmanaged.

I wasn't kidding when I said I didn't think Winker had put the bat on a ball since May. That didn't get any better tonight, striking out on 3 pitches. Not exactly what you're looking for from a late inning pinch hitter

[MUfan12]

Let 'em move. At least they won't be able to find new ways to disappoint me.

[HutchwasClutch]

What a giant turd performance by the Brewers. More postseason garbage out of them.

What an absolute joke. Whose decision was that?? Guy sucked when he wasn't hurt then hasn't played since end of July. What a shock he embarrassed himself up there.

Sometimes I miss when the biggest suspense was if we'd get to .500.

[Dickthedribbler]

What a dud.

Well, their Cy Young pitcher gave up three homers in 4 innings.  Their all-star closer gave up 2 tack on runs in the 9th, which changed a 1 run game into a game over. In between their 2 stars, Adames and Yellich committed crucial base running errors with men on base. I don't know what their final LOB count was but last I heard they had 11 hits, 4 walks and an HBP, all to produce 3 runs. Finally, I love Craig Counsell, but I think he gets a well earned C-- tonight.

I guess "dud" says it well.

[HutchwasClutch]

To prove how truly inept their offense is, first three guys reach against Pfaadt, a rookie with an ERA of almost 6, and he proceeds to strike out the side after and survives the first with one run scoring.  Unfreaking real. 

[Uncle Rico]

This loss is all on Burnes.  Calling him an ace is a disgrace

[Dr. Blackheart]

Coffee is for closers

No, it's not all on Burnes. But he's a veteran and in a 3 game playoff series, you gotta get more from the guy at the top of your rotation.
