2014-04-15 Cardinals (Miller) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-1]

[Dead Simmons]

Could have been worse, could have seen Ellis hit a 3run HR like Jay for his 1st hit of the season. Would have been perfect after Simmons' not ever having heard of him lol

I see I'm not gonna live that down soon.

[trwi7]

1st and 2nd one out. Oh wait.

[liveforoctober]

Walking machines. Khris Davis nonetheless.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Way to go Lucroy...... Should be 1 and 2nd with 1 out

[brewcrewdue80]

What? Why? Does Lucroy have a grudge vs. Molina and do that on his own accord? Because no sane manager asks their catcher to run against Molina!

I have a hard time believing Lucroy on his own just said "hey, I'm gonna try to steal on Molina."

[PrinceFielderx1]

The Brewer look like they want to lose this game also...

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

I wish I knew what RRR's thought process was on having Lucroy attempt to steal.

[ELCABALLO45]

I highly doubt RRR had Lucroy stealing on Molina.

Who cares it's stupid regardless.

[brewcrewdue80]

Yep. Control Pitchers my fantasy team become Walk Machines. Come on Marco!

[PrinceFielderx1]

Estradas face right there said it all. "I'm not pitching smart."

[chickinbrickin]

I hate that the Crew forgets how to play baseball when they play the Cards.

[ELCABALLO45]

I cannot stand playing this team.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Right down the middle of the plate. Next time Estrada pitch smarter by pitching away. It's not complicated especially when your only maxing out at 88 mph.

When the Brewers play the Cardinals

 

[Dead Simmons]

Play too close to challenge.

[FVBrewerFan]

Safe, classy move not challenging

Yep, Estrada is not trying to hit corners at all. He's up there just laying it down the middle of the plate on purpose and hoping the Cards just hit the ball right at someone.

 

If the Brewers win it means they're smart. If they lose, it means they're dumb. Makes perfect sense.

He can't fool the Cards with a 88 mph fastball down the center. He can't fool himself into believing his stuff is good enough to blow batters away for 6 innings by throwing a balloon down the middle of the plate.

[yfinn6]

My point was that he's likely trying to hit the corners and keep the ball down. Wanting to do that and doing it are two different things sometimes. It's not as easy as just wanting to.

Why do you think he's trying to throw it down the middle? Maybe he's just missing his spots.

Do you really think hes just purposely trying to throw a fastball right down the middle?

[PrinceFielderx1]

God bless those ups...

[brewcrewdue80]

Game Cast is showing Miller as piping pitches right down the middle of the plate far more often than Estrada. In ARam's AB alone there were 5 dead center. But I guess he's smart to know the Brewers can't hit them right now down the middle of the plate.
