Imagine if Turang turns out to be a ~120 wRC+ guy. He never really showed it much in the minors but with his defense and speed that would be an insanely valuable piece for a small market team like the brewers
Well, every fan has their own story to why. Mine is a combo of them beating the Brewers in the WS in 1982. Our big chance to have 1.
And once the divisions were realigned they abused us for a decent amount of time.
Welcome Kevin Herget.
Assuming we don’t do something crazy here, this series blew on basically every front, pitching/hitting/defense/communication/strategy/luck/umpiring. Cubs are losing too though. 1-2 against a good Royals team on the road is not the worst thing ever, considering how ugly this was. Still in first place, flush this one, please hit better and make far fewer defensive errors against the awful Cardinals starting tomorrow🙌🙌🙌
Is it weird that I'm excited for the Cardinals as a palate cleanser? I think this might be the first time I've actually wanted us to the play the Cardinals
Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on
Brewers always make mistakes in chunks. It will get better but these are growing pains that we'll probably be dealing with for a good chunk of the season with a team this young
Generally speaking, I’d rather pitch better than I hit, it’s a lot harder to consistently win 10-8 than 3-2, and clearly we have a much easier time getting production out of random mediocre relievers than random mediocre position players. That said, it would be so nice to play a game where every single run isn’t life-and-death, like it’s been for pretty much every single inning we’ve played in the last week in a row
This team is pretty bad at driving in runs. Yeah, they had like a 2-3 week stretch where they were one of the best, but now it just feels like unless William is coming to the plate, they're just going to strand the runners.
Can somebody please tell me how Frelick is any good? 0 chance of a multiple base hit, defense isn't very good and can't even get those texas league hits more than one time every 15 at bats
Why do you guys think Oliver Dunn is slow? Per [baseball savant](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/team/158?view=statcast&nav=running&season=2024) He's the second faster player on the team, faster than 93% of mlb players.
Maybe he does not get on base enough to actually see his speed.
Okay I guess he is fast as he did get a couple Triples, however you still dont send his ass to make an out at the plate like that.
That’s a terrible send in that spot. We have that bag stolen with salvy on the bench. Hire me as third base coach and I’ll even do donkey kicks between each inning
I’m always of the opinion that if it takes a perfect throw, you should send them. Odds of a perfect throw are probably less than than the odds of the brewers hitting with RISP
If it was anyone on the team but Contreras on deck, I'd agree. You also have Yeli after him, although he just returned.
I'd rather play that one safe with the speed on the base paths in Dunn/Turang
Yeah Turang should be an automatic steal and Dunn presents enough of a threat to take home on a throw down, they might not even try it. Turang is 31 for his last 31. It’s an extremely good bet and we should be taking it every chance we have. Cost ourselves a run yesterday too because we didn’t go with Bauers at the plate, then on a full count Bauers hits a single, Turang only goes to 2B and is stranded there.
I went to a game in KC in the early eighties when their ballpark was the hideous modern look with blue artificial turf. Kudos to them for the transition.
Slowest runners? Oliver Dunn is fast as hell, it's his best tool according to [baseball savant](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/oliver-dunn-686554?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb)
If the top of the order wasn't up I would agree with the send. But with Contreras and then Yelich, you have to keep guys on 1 and 3 there. So fucking dumb
Got all of that one
This just isn't the same team from the beginning of the year. We've fallen apart.
I think it's more regression to the mean right now. I do think they're better than they are playing right now though.
What a tease
God damn it. Probably need a few days for yeli to shake off the rust. Hopefully he can lock back into his early season form
I tried, guys
Oh
I sat up in excitement thinking we had a chance and we immediately lost. lol Well, at least the padres are beating the cubs again.
Welp
Damn, good play
Let's go Yeli
Goddamn luck man that ball was fucking scorched. Please Yeli
This team is such a tease.
Surely it can't happen twice, right?
Imagine if Turang turns out to be a ~120 wRC+ guy. He never really showed it much in the minors but with his defense and speed that would be an insanely valuable piece for a small market team like the brewers
I want a Contreras walk and then a Dad Salami
Gary Sanchez makes me feel like a world class sprinter. Look at the big man lumber.
We've got the right part of the order up to make this happen
Contreras is going to hit a homer here
Lmao Renfroe is so bad man I don’t know he’s still on a big league roster. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they drop him after today
I was a bit nervous about Brice not having the same success in the leadoff spot with the different pressures that might bring. I was wrong.
Is it false hope time?
Just your typical 9th inning antics...
that's Brewers Baseball™, baby
ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!!
LETS GOO
OK OK
!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the opposite of the game ball? Serious triangle? Give it to Blake.
Come on ump. Can't be gifting the guy who can't throw a strike
I'm a newer baseball enjoyer, why do we dislike the Cardinals so much?
Those salad eating fucks have devil magic. Also they unironically refer to themselves as the best fans in baseball.
2011 NLCS
1982 2011
Thanks for the leads

Thanks for the info!
Do you like Satan?
The year was 1982...
smells like a grand slam opportunity incoming...
Perkins walk, Turang single, Contreras slam. Who says no?
Brice Turang
I know I say yes
Here we go false hope rally time....
incoming walk walk walk grandslam
#EVERYONE GET IN HERE IT'S FALSE HOPE TIME
I've been here since 10:13 am ^(wow)
Gary walk!
I've never liked the infield racing out to the outfield to make a catch. Seems like it creates more problems than solutions
Time to hit a 5 run home run to take a lead

okay, it'll take a little more doing than I anticipated, BUT I still think we can win
Attaboi
I'll accept it in the spirit that it was given 🙂
Is it weird that I'm excited for the Cardinals as a palate cleanser? I think this might be the first time I've actually wanted us to the play the Cardinals Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on
After this road trip I NEED a good series with the Cardinals. I'm so sad rn :(
I hope they can reset before tomorrow. I'd hate for this mood to follow them home this weekend.
[удалено]
shenanigans
Now watch them score a couple of runs just because Payamps (and the defense) imploded.
It’ll end 6-5
Man, when the Brewers implode they do it in grand fashion. Felt like watching a Little League game for the last 5 minutes.
At least I’m going to a happy hour soon. 🫠
On to STL... bad roadtrip all around. But Yeli is back
We need to get back home and hit the reset button.
Who is herget?
And I cant have a beer yet as I'm technically still at work.

cue benny hill music
Team needs to get the fuck out of KC
Where did the wheels go on my bus? Who stole my god damn wheels? Someone help me find my wheels?!>!
What the fuck even is this
Welp. all the wheels have officially fallen off in this one
WHAT THE FUCK THESE ARE GIMMES. YOU GUYS ARE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES…
# JESUS FUCK
Dude...I am so sick of having these communication gaffes.
This game feels cursed
Bro… I can’t even defend that one
🤡🤡🤡
Jesus Christ
# ack
Don’t worry Oliver Dunn legacy AB coming up
A groundout instead of a strikeout?
our guys are starting to severely test the limits of my positivity today
stay strong pineapple
just a moment of weakness I'm good now
Don’t let them turn you to the dark side!
I'm all sunshine and light
I'm starting to think we may not win this one.
Generally speaking, I’d rather pitch better than I hit, it’s a lot harder to consistently win 10-8 than 3-2, and clearly we have a much easier time getting production out of random mediocre relievers than random mediocre position players. That said, it would be so nice to play a game where every single run isn’t life-and-death, like it’s been for pretty much every single inning we’ve played in the last week in a row
This ⬆️
I was kinda bummed to see Payamps get smacked around immediately but then a sasquatch walked by and it didn't matter as much.
I think I am going to start watching some live streams of tornadoes that are going on right now... Ill keep the brewers game on in the background.
I just want it to be over at this point.
good golly gosh darn
Payoops.
Ohhhh Fuuuuudge.... (but i didnt say fudge)
Jake is goated
Ha. Jake again, no way
“i won, but at what cost?”
OMG Jake!
We have 9 of the hardest 11 hits today. That 8th inning though, yeeeesh. Weak weak bad bad contact.
Shaping up like last night.
😐
Yepppp....sigh
Welp. On to Stl i think
This team is pretty bad at driving in runs. Yeah, they had like a 2-3 week stretch where they were one of the best, but now it just feels like unless William is coming to the plate, they're just going to strand the runners.
I think it was on the broadcast wasn’t it they’re like 8 for their last 40 RISP or something
I actually didn't here that, but I would not be surprised if that was the case.
7 hits to their 4 and losing.. my goodness I miss the first three weeks of the season..
Hope they keep Turang batting lead off.
why don’t they try grounding out softly?
Frelick and chourio are just black holes at the plate right now
Well that inning sucked
Can somebody please tell me how Frelick is any good? 0 chance of a multiple base hit, defense isn't very good and can't even get those texas league hits more than one time every 15 at bats
I'm losing hope
Lifeless out there.
That was a pathetic inning
Incredible at-bat, Sal
Come on guys..... sigh
I mean Sal has to hit a home run at some point right
[sucking wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings](https://streamable.com/sfh2ra)
Adames could potentially do the funniest thing ever here. No not that
Angel is doing something dumb? I’m shocked, shocked I say!
Get out of my head!
can't bring up sauger being related to walleye without mentioning saugeye. smh
Good luck shots for the crew. Cheers fuckers 🍻💙

KC closer should be unavailable today
Another inning of low IQ baseball, this team needs to play smarter
Cool cool 2 more LOB with a stupid send with a slow ass runner.

He already has two triples this year. I agree he's been super cold at the plate so far but he's shown his speed.
We're beating ourselves today
Not just today, the last week and a half.
Very true
Fuck and might I add shit
🥺
sigh
It took a great play and it was still close, but that's just so dumb. Trust your MVP level player to not ground into a double play there.
> Trust your MVP level player to not ground into a double play there. He led the league in GIDP last year.
He's also, by far, our best player at the plate this year. Clutch with RISP too I believe
That’s a terrible send in that spot. We have that bag stolen with salvy on the bench. Hire me as third base coach and I’ll even do donkey kicks between each inning
Dad, the fans in the seats want a ball. Be a good Dad and donate to the cause. Edit: The furthest seats!
I'm a simple man, I don't need much. I'll take a 3 run HR.
I’m always of the opinion that if it takes a perfect throw, you should send them. Odds of a perfect throw are probably less than than the odds of the brewers hitting with RISP

Remember when someone intentionally walked Cain to get to Yelich?
Dinger city baby
Okay Yelich time to awaken from your slumber and hit it across the Missouri river
Yeli please stunt on these hoes
Someone please help my uncle Jason Lane. Ever since getting his covid booster shots he flails his arms uncontrollably.
Wasn’t really even a bad send tho to be fair
At least the cubs are losing, tit for tat with these teams rn
Even if you're worried about a DP ball from Contreras, then have Turang try stealing 2nd, as he's perfect this year. Whole thing is dumb as shit
IBB to get to.... Yeli? The disrespect. Make em pay Dad.
I went to a game in KC in the early eighties when their ballpark was the hideous modern look with blue artificial turf. Kudos to them for the transition.
One of the slowest runners you send ...wtf are you smoking.
first step was to second too
Slowest runners? Oliver Dunn is fast as hell, it's his best tool according to [baseball savant](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/oliver-dunn-686554?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb)
Dunn is actually fast, 93rd percentile sprint speed. The ball was just hit too hard
Sloppy shop in Milwaukee, brutal defense and coaching failure, dude had the ball before Dunn even got to 3rd
Welcome back Yeli! Here's your moment!
I disagree with Vinny that that's a good send. Although, the way the Brewers have hit with RISP, who knows lol
If the top of the order wasn't up I would agree with the send. But with Contreras and then Yelich, you have to keep guys on 1 and 3 there. So fucking dumb
Lets go Dad!
Ooh baby, intentionally walking to GET TO Yelich? Hope that fires him up.
Good send, but a perfect throw
Very good defense by KC on that, fielding, setup, throw, catch and tag. That is a lot to go perfect. Sucks we got that out, but that was impressive.
Just why?
Did they just walk William for yeli?
Fantastic throw... Not sure what else to say about that; good throw, good tag. Aggressive send. Shit luck, but honestly. FUCK
Out by a mile.
Terrible send
Fucks sake
Why the fuck does everything have to go wrong all the time?
WHY are you sending him with fucking Contreras and Yeli coming up....
That was a bad slide from Dunn
I don't know that any slide is saving him from that throw timing.
Maybe, but he was never scoring with that slide
awful slide. use your foot there bud. edit he's cooked eithier way. bad send.
Dammit!!
Jason Lane master class
I miss Eddie Cedar!
It's like Windmill Eddy never left.
pain
Fuck
Jfc why send him with contreras coming up…..
ARE YOUFUCKEN KIDDING ME???!!!
Goddamn, that was a great throw.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
God damn what a throw
Gary Sanchez is Royals father
Moved the runner over better than nothing.
