Box Score
I did not get to watch most of the game today. After watching the highlights, that may have been a good thing.
What happened in the bottom of the 8th was atrocious. Let's ignore the fact that it should have been a triple play and that every out would have been caused by bad base running. When you are down by one, have a runner on third, and nobody out, it is very important that the runner on third scores. I could write more, but I would rather forget that play ever happened.
The bottom of the 9th was somewhat better. The RBI double that scored Braun and tied the game was as good as it gets. The most exciting play in baseball (and arguably all of sports) is a play at the plate and tonight you saw why. Unfortunately the Brewers were unable to plate the winning run and lost in extras.
This was a game the Brewers had several chances to win. Their success capitalizing on these chances ranged from 'close but no cigar' to 'spectacular failure.' It's no surprise the result was a loss, and a frustrating one at that.
