2017-08-01: Cardinals (Martinez) at Brewers (Nelson) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2]

[OnaBadger58]

Understatement of the night: Huge an for Domingo right here

[Brewcrewin07]

When Jon Lester is going yard, you know the Cubs will never lose another game. Unbelieveable. A career .072 hitter and .092 slg% and he homers...talk about a horseshoe.

[OnaBadger58]

Well he put the ball in play...

[MrTPlush]

Well at least they should chase Martinez early due to the 2 out rally.

Yup. 3 Months of House Money..eventually they were going to start turning 6 showing into some 21's.

[OnaBadger58]

Little suprised Nelson is our there this inning. Doesn't seem to have it

[MrTPlush]

He has gotten to that ace like trustworthy level where even when he doesn't seem to have it you put the ball in his hand and send him to get the job done.

[TJseven7]

Nelson becoming quite the horse. Not his best... cardinals pesky... still 6 quality.

 

Hader swarzak knebel... offense still cold

[OnaBadger58]

Brinson can't buy a hit. Dude has been hitting it hard, just right at people.

[TJseven7]

Pona arcia bad ab... broxton iffy.

 

Why is hader up? Incase of barnes trouble? Fine with barnes or hughes in the 7th... but hader up... pitch him or rest him

[OnaBadger58]

Hopefully Hader is saved for Carpenter

[Matt1969]

I LOVE JACOB BARNES.......At least for one day.

[OnaBadger58]

Thanks for participating Villar

[markedman5]

Braun had really had a tough year....injuries and not typical performance when not hurt.

 

We need him to be better

[PinaMadness]

Really? Thames is gonna test Molina? I'm shocked it was even that close.

[markedman5]

Hader has to be able to throw strikes......

[OnaBadger58]

Pretty sure Hader threw 3 strikes that AB. Only 1 called

[adambr2]

Yep. [sarcasm]Human element of baseball is so awesome.[/sarcasm]

Yup was going to say that strike zone sure got tight quick... ball 4 clear strike no debate.

[Devinep]

Thanks for participating Villar

 

Wasn't able to watch before now. Was Villar used as a pinch hitter? That would be idiotic with Aguilar on the bench yet. Plus Villar can't hit. Might as well use a Molina as a pinch runner

Yeah, pinch hit and stayed in at 2nd. Popped up first pitch.

[LouisEly]

I thought his 2nd pitch was a clearer strike than ball 4

[OnaBadger58]

Alright fellas, it's not against the rules to add insurance runs.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Swarzak's slider is a good pitch. He really had the Cardinals off balance that inning. Well-called and well-thrown.

 

It would be awfully great to get a run this inning.

[TJseven7]

Anthony not our savior swarzak has absolutely done his job.
