Counsell has made some questionable moves in the playoffs and Counsell is too classy to do this, but he should pinch hit Winker, Weimer, and Blake Perkins in the 9th just to show Attanasio what the shit he had to work with on offense this year.

Me too. That's why I'm watching reruns of Ice Road Truckers on channel 32.

Their offense whimpered all year. The fact that they scrounged the bargain bin at the trade deadline and the waiver wire to find three members of the starting lineup tonight says a lot. The fact that those 3 are three of their top 5 offensive players should signal there's a problem.

And if anybody reaches base it's Owen Miller time.
Canha and Santana were good pickups but Donaldson not so much. I think he's hit .150 at every stop this season.

Matt LaPorta was a can’t miss guy. How’d that work out?
They are prospects for a reason. They don’t all work out and very few are sure things.
I said the farm system is going to have to do it, because our owner isn’t going to spend the money to improve it in free agency. If there is to be any improvement ti this offense, the young guys are going to have to make that happen.
I am fully aware that prospects usually don’t work out.

The dream has died

As they should.
Taylor has been inconsistent, too. A lot of players have been inconsistent, though.

Not showing up would get better results

It was personalized for Winker. He got the same thing last night.
In this series, all the Brewer's runs have come in the 1st two innings.
Brewers salaries next year:
Yelich 26 million. Peralta 5.5 million, Ashby 1.2 million
Arbitration eligible and 2025 free agents: Burnes, Woodruff, Adames, Houser, Lauer. Burnes is certainly gone. Some of those others are probably gone.
Arbitration eligible and 2026 free agents: Williams,
Canha (11.5 million), Chafin (7.2), Miley (10), and Wilson (2.5) all have club options. I would bet Attanasio will decline them all.
If they could shed Yelich's salary, they might have trouble meeting the minimum salary requirements. Complete lack of any veteran investments. It's what you'd do if you wanted to sell the team.
Contreras gets a hit! 2 on nobody out! Santana coming to the plate!
Santana or Canha homering is likely our only chance. Once they get by the top of the order there isn't much to threaten you.
What All Star caliber bats have we developed since Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder? They reached the Majors in the 2005 (Fielder) and 2007.
Keston Hiura was a consensus top 20 prospect in baseball, and after one season with great offensive production at the Major League level, he just face planted.
Is it Khris Davis? He had a few big power seasons (after he left Milwaukee), but he was extremely limited otherwise.
Can we please get these guys in? Pretty please?
Frelick could become a legend.
Wiemer sighting. Rather have Mitchell running as the tying run right now.
Adames - 3 pitch strikeout on 3 balls at least 2 feet out of the strike zone?
God damn it, this offense is absolutely pitiful.
How many fucking runners have we left on in two games? Freaking unreal.
That sums up the problems with the Brewers offense all year. Relying on young players who needed a little more time in the minors and Willy Adames swinging at the first pitch.
18! 18 men that we’ve left. This offense is a complete and utter dumpster fire.
Well, I guess Counsell can say he used Devin Williams in this series.
