This offseason needs a major influx of talent, and the farm system is going to have to provide it.
Attanasio cheaping out the last two years when they had some pitching pre free agency was inexcusable. They didn't even try.

No chance throwing him out at home way to let the hitter waltz into 2nd
That's the type of stuff Counsell's teams do in the post-season. MLF-esque type mistakes.
This team will never get over the hump with this owner. His goal is to keep them competitive enough to put fannies in the seats. There's no excuse to jump out to these leads and then just roll over and die.
You are a goddamn MLB player. I’ve taught 12U girls softball teams that will never work. Why let a batter advance into scoring position by making a high risk low percentage play? Counsell has nothing to do with it. That’s all on Frelick.
And it was a piss poor throw anyway. A rainmaker.

A culture of accountability is not there.
The farm system is going to do it? And I might win Powerball?
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.
Adequate pitching and no offense in postseason. Correct me if I'm wrong.
For all the bad luck banter that was some good luck there. Donaldson almost whiffed.
Uribe loads them up. 1 out.

Define adequate
99 is great if you can locate it
danger zone here
One swing away from being completely out of this.
This is why I question Uribe in this high leverage situation. He has control issues.
That sucked.
That wild pitch was some bad luck
And there it is.
Uribe problem all season, control.
The Brewers would struggle to score 3 more runs (which they'll need to win) if they had the 4 remaining innings tonight and all 9 tomorrow.
Pull Uribe even if he isn't hurt.
A few more necklaces by Uribe might do the trick
Christmas in October this inning.
That RBI single was bad luck
This is over. Yelich didn't exactly bust his ass to get there.
Why do I feel like the season is over?
Uribe is the textbook example of everything wrong with the Brewers. So much potential and what if but it’s all a crapshoot. Good way to build a team.

That’s what I thought…seemed to hesitate a step.
Somewhere Mark Anttanasio is looking for expensive memorabilia instead of improving the roster.
Holy keerap! A double play!

Uribe is going to be very good (and already is), but he's 23 years old and barely even pitched in the minors before this year.
He's in this situation because the Brewers try to compete with as many minimum salary guys as they could. They wouldn't even extend Boxberger an offer after last season to save about a million dollars.
That DP might have saved the season. We’ll see.
Counsell has really been doing some things I've disagreed with the last week or so. Even before the season ended he rested guys so much they were rusty. Williams hardly pitched the last 2 weeks.
Bringing Uribe in there was high risk to say the least. That's a pretty big stage for a kid with hardly any big league experience. Counsell will have some questions to answer after these two games.

You're right. We have Winker ready to pinch hit if we can get him up as the tying run.

He's just not ready for that situation. That's bad managing.
My god is Adames a joke. How can you be in the major leagues that long and have the plate discipline of a 17 year old?
Plenty of time to ice cookies this fall.

The Brewers have played 8 playoff games since the 2018 NLCS against the Dodgers.
They've scored 3, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 4, and 3 runs in those games.
They would have to score 6 to win tonight.
To paraphrase Rick Pitino when he was briefly the Celtics coach, "Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, and Cecil Cooper are not walking through that clubhouse door anytime soon."
gallen never should have lasted long enough to get AZ to their best relief pitchers.
There's 3 innings to go and I'm almost giving up, like Adames did on that last AB.
I did not follow and watch virtually every game this year to see them go out with a Goddam whimper.
