This just seems like one of those games. Donaldson can't get the guy in from third with one out and the Brewers strand 6 guys through three innings. AZ comes up with a HR and takes the lead.

One of those games where your ace pitcher who is going to get traded after the year and sign a 150 million contract with someone else craps the bed?

You expect the Brewers to struggle to get runners in. Their offense just isn't very good.

You need your #1 starter to come up big. He didn't.

They have to pull him

My point is with this shitty offense it puts a ton of pressure on the pitchers.   No excuse for Burnes playing like crap but the odds of the offense bailing them out are slim to none

He blew a 3 run lead and gave up 3 HRs. Having a 3 run lead certainly isn't pressure. He gets too cute, showing off his 8 pitches. Glanville said it best when he hung Carroll a change up after making him look lost with cutters.

Burnes wasn’t the issue in 2022.  They traded Josh Hader and the team completely mailed it in after that.  

You go into the playoffs without Woody and a crap offense and your margin of error is basically zero.  

You want to get tired of something, how about trying to strike gold on flyers that rarely work out.  

Without Burnes this team doesn’t sniff the playoffs the last few years.

I agree with you, but the argument the Brewers used against him in arbitration (which Burnes was quoted as saying really bothered him) was that they went on the losing streak last August, Burnes wasn't the stopper they needed him to be.
