2017-06-13, Game 2: Brewers (Nelson) at Cardinals (Gonzales) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-5]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

How many runs do we need to score here to feel safe? 6? 7?

 

At least 6, and I'm still bringing in Knebel.

I know Trevor Rosenthal is really good....but he was clearly lost from the start. After two walks he should have cut the cord. After Shaw's AB it just seemed obvious....but nope.

 

I wad thinking the same thing. I think a lot of Cards fans don't have much confidence in Matheny.

[stoutdude04]

Rock talking about bringing the closer In, but I wish more teams would do that. Your best pitcher should be used in these high leverage spots.

A few more runs and we might be safe to bring someone other than Knebel in for the 9th

I'd like to get through the 8th first.

Just let Hughes finish er.

Can't remember the last time I've seen Thames drive the baseball.

[Matt1969]

Can they hold it this time?

He's off the juice...

Home runs on June 4 and June 8, otherwise it's been famine for him.

[Matt1969]

Well, a split is better than two losses.

Nice come back by the Crew. Lots of hits up and down the lineup. Good win.

[rcc]

Still in first place. Good win and Knebel for the save.

Keon is back up to a .745 OPS and quietly on pace for a 20 HR season. I know his inconsistency is aggravating but his skillset for a CF is too good to simply give up on. Either you live with his highs and lows or look to hopefully trade him at a high point.

With what we have seen from Brinson and Phillips, Keon isn't going anywhere. Heck Franklin probably isn't scared either.

Broxton has 2.3 WAR in less than a full season in the majors. I think they will give him a good bit of time still. They just might protect him against tougher righties.
