ouch

[Menotti80]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

[pebadger]

I really have no idea how that got out.

[Oldcity]

He hasn't thrown a strike to the pitcher yet.

[dlk9s]

I don't think anyone has a higher meatball-to-homer ratio than Grienke. He never gets away with one.

[stoutdude04]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

Garcia certaintly settled down after we let him off the hook in the 1st.

 

[moofnelson]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

[Schlitz001]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

Yup, that's the season. Pack it in boys.

[ninja33]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

yep, you're going to get ridiculed. and deserve it.

[cnycerveceros]

Not really that upset about that inning. I don't know why.

[burnzy24]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

A 2 run lead, with Garcia struggling? Come on...

[dlk9s]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

Because we have better pitchers than the Cardinals.

it's really unbelievable. even the meatballs that don't get hit hard seem to carry out.

[MillerBombers]

Our pitching has been sad.

The one thing we have a clear advantage in this series is running our mouth. Otherwise these two teams are pretty evenly matched.

[Oldcity]

If the roof is closed that barely makes the warning track.

[MillerBombers]

Here we go, lets swing at stuff outside of the zone.

[moofnelson]

Now we'll just start hacking at everything.

[Schlitz001]

Our pitching has been sad.

That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?

Because our pitching has been better all season. You can't use a few bad postseason starts and assume the pitching has been bad all year. The pitching is how we got here in the first place. And don't forget that the Cardinals are a really good hitting team.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Just get at least one back this inning.

[B2k1121]

I know I will get ridiculed, but I think that's game over.

A 2 run lead, with Garcia struggling? Come on...

 

He's not struggling at all.

[Oldcity]

Lucroy is completely lost at the plate.

I never said the Brewers pitching was bad all year. But, besides Yo, who has been pitching consistenly well the last month?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Well so much for an answer back inning. Dreadful bottom of the order today.

[sargennm]

This is depressing. Of course it's a bottom if the order guy that hurts them.

[burnzy24]

He's not struggling at all.

He is at 70 pitches through 4. He has also given up 2 runs, walked 3 and he hardly ever walks people. The Cardinals wouldn't have gotten a man up in the bullpen in the 1st inning if he wasn't struggling.
