Good Lord, Luke Little. TWO runs scored on wild pitches. Just CANNOT do that. We completely fell apart in the fifth after we took the lead.

Man what an absolute little league like inning. Walks, can’t throw competitive pitches, catcher can’t catch, catch throwing the ball all over the field. What’s happened
Your description is accurate. How long is Counsel going to put up with this? Does he have a choice?
Tough thing about this bullpen is they either are Cy Young-like or have absolute meltdowns. There is zero in between
That hurts. I purposely watched tonight hoping (beyond hope) that he'd get things straightened out a bit. I'd imagine he gets at least another start or two (or more?) but how long can you keep sending him out there knowing we'll take the loss?
I wanted Busch to hit a 3 run homer with 2 strikes so badly. Oh well, I guess I’ll settle for an Ian Happ grand slam.
Man this bullpen is horrendous. But Kyle's inability to even go five full innings after heavy bullpen usage lately certainly didn't help.
Well at least the brewers and pirates lost. If we somehow win this game we would take the lead in the nl central.
10 walks in 9 innings ain't gonna cut it. Just an absolutely putrid performance from the entire pitching staff tonight
We need to find another closer. Alzolay is not the answer. He doesn’t have out pitch. His fastball and slider are both mediocre
