ParticipantThe Brewers offense is humming right now. Santana has like 5 homeruns in the last two weeks, but all the regulars are hitting well too. We will have to at least beat them all three games to get that wildcard.
Colorado still has to lose 2 of their last 4 (with us winning out) for us to tie them. Yeesh.
Game-wise, we could really use a good game by Wacha here. Our bullpen has a ton of holes in it other than Nicasio.

ParticipantThe Rockies are sending their “ace” today against a guy with a 5+ era for Miami. The Rockies are also better vs. LH pitching than RHers.
“Luckily” they do have to face Kershaw on Saturday.
September 27, 2017 at 3:14 pm #34348Wow. A big change at 2B.
Carpenter 2B
Pham LF
Fowler CF
Gyorko 3B
J Martinez 1B
DeJong SS
Grichuk RF
Kelly C
Wacha PSeptember 27, 2017 at 3:53 pm #34351Time is running even shorter. Colorado with a 9-3 lead on Miami in the 5th.
Hard to take somewhat. Last year we are eliminated on the last day of the season. This year we are going to be eliminated in the last 2-4 days of the season.

September 27, 2017 at 4:04 pm #34353Primarily Cecil, but also Oh and Rosenthal are the reason why. And whoever thought this would happen to Wainwright?

ParticipantOh
Cecil
Broxton
Socolovich
RosenthalUgh. There’s the season in a nutshell.
September 27, 2017 at 4:46 pm #34355What about the pathetic offense that didn’t score squat for runs 1/2-2/3rd of the year don’t put the blame on a few guys in the pen. Especially the amount outs they gave away with the worst base running i have ever seen and CArp was by far the WORST of the bunch. Add in a below average manager and that = missing playoffs
September 27, 2017 at 5:17 pm #34358Inconsistent pitching,hitting,fielding and sloppy baserunning all contributed to this season `s mess.
September 27, 2017 at 6:09 pm #34360Anybody who thought this team was playoff quality was fooling themselves. The Cardinals are who we thought they were….Not good enough.

ParticipantIf they had gotten only career average performances from Peralta, Diaz, Piscotty, Leake, Wainwright,
Oh, Cecil, Siegrist, Broxton, Rosenthal, Socolovitch, etc. you might be humming a different tune.September 27, 2017 at 7:10 pm #34364Top of the 5th, Cards up 1-0…
September 27, 2017 at 7:12 pm #34365NJ315
ParticipantWacha impressive so far.
September 27, 2017 at 7:13 pm #34366NJ315
Participant50 pitches through 5
September 27, 2017 at 7:42 pm #34367and just like that 3-1 scrubs
September 27, 2017 at 7:42 pm #34368NJ315
ParticipantIt was good while it lasted. Getting pounded in the 7th 3-1 Cubs. Really bad pitch to Russell. 3-run homer
Baez doubles still no outsSeptember 27, 2017 at 7:43 pm #34369Wacha has lost it now runner on 2nd no outs and he still pitching and now 4-1 MM day late and dollar short again
September 27, 2017 at 7:44 pm #34370NJ315
Participantwow that’s amazing he can’t get anyone out now. Heyward doubles 4-1
September 27, 2017 at 7:45 pm #34371NJ315
ParticipantI agree he should have taken him out after Baez double. He has to now after he walks Rivera.
September 27, 2017 at 7:47 pm #34372NJ315
ParticipantHere comes Matheny. Bowman in. Two on no outs.
September 27, 2017 at 7:48 pm #34373To late now
September 27, 2017 at 7:51 pm #34374NJ315
ParticipantBowman gives up a double. 5-1
September 27, 2017 at 7:51 pm #343755-1 now, Bowman had STelle 0-2 and serves up a fat pitch for a double….
September 27, 2017 at 7:53 pm #34376One would think as much as Wacha struggles the 3rd time through the line up MM would have been ready, but i guess that is giving MM way to much credit..guy is CLUELESS
September 27, 2017 at 7:53 pm #34377NJ315
ParticipantHere comes Duke. Credit to Matheny not bringing Duke to face Jay.
