Brewers up 3-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning. Woodruff pitching for the Crew. We gotta win one of these!

Top of the 7th, Brousseau at bat with 3 balls, watches three pitches down the middle. Davis lines a shot into center, then gets picked off of 1st by Ramirez. Yelich strikes out. Then gets thrown out of the game. Then heads out to home plate to confront the ump with Counsell, in the middle, pushing Yelich back and then Counsell gets thrown out. To the bottom of the 7th we go. Pirates have runners on the corners with 1 out, down by 2 runs. Woodruff still pitching. Pirates score another run on a base hit. Pirates down 1 with 1 out and 2 runners on base. Frustrating to watch these Brewers!
The whole vibe around this Brewer team changed with the Hader trade. Trading a premier reliever you had for two more post-seasons for a moderate downgrade who will leave after this year, two B-level prospects, and a guy you immediately released is a terrible look. The interviews of Williams and Yelich really showed how the team felt. This was a move of a team that showed the front office didn't really think they could win and wanted to save some money.
The vibe seems to now be everyone is waiting for the next thing to go wrong. That builds on itself.
They need someone to make a big play to snap them out of it.
Maybe I'm just jaded, but Renfroe didn't seem to be exactly be sprinting to try to get that leadoff bloop double in the 1oth . He kind of just appeared to jog after it.
Talk about a kick to the nuts type loss. Matt Bush JFC that was an awful performance in the 10th.
Need to right the ship. This team seems to be in a daze right now. Woodruff has been decent since returning but man his teammates need to help out.

Curse of the Hader trade is in full gear now.
Brewers blew leads in 3 straight games against the Pirates. A team that they should have beaten handily. Next up, The Reds. After the Pittsburgh series, I don't like our chances against the Reds.
Finally got a ****ing win. Hopefully the team has adjusted to life without Hader.

Down 6-3 in the second game of the Reds series.
Lemet gets picked up by the Rockies today.
Fitting end to a shitty week for the Brewers.
