2018-04-03: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Anderson) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[pacopete4]

I do not understand why on earth Ryan Braun is starting today. Santana started the season with three good games...and is on the bench two days in a row.

 

I hope in retrospect I am wrong.

 

Haha this is great. Well done man. Even as a big Braun guy I semi questioned why Santana was sitting two games in a row.

[adambr2]

We have 2 wins when trailing after 8 innings in 5 games. I am not sure we had more than 2 such wins all of last year.

[reillymcshane]

Well, that was a nice way to finish a game. Well done.

[wildcat83]

Where is Dead Simons at?

[Eye Black]

This is My Crew!!!! Love this offense.

[nate82]

I leave for like 5 min and the game is over and in a good way.

[adambr2]

Got to take a peak at a few Cardinals board game threads tonight.

That's okay I look down for one moment to text a buddy and Anderson is screaming again.

[NYChez]

For the record, Uecker nailed both calls.

[timpep]

This team is much improved compared to last year when heading into the 9th with a deficit!

[MrTPlush]

Back-to-back homers on back-to-back pitches and they were total no-doubter bombs.

I get to listen to it on the radio but I had to let my dog outside and since there are a bunch of coyotes running around lately I have to go out with her. Well at least the mountain lion is not wandering around here anymore.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If Braun is healthy, watch out this year. I know he needs his recovery days, but if he's healthy, I want him in the lineup.

[Eye Black]

For the record, Uecker nailed both calls.

Haha, I was wondering.

He has some damn good calls for someone people refer to as 'vanilla.'

My kids are on spring break, so I'm letting them stay up late. I JUST made them go to bed when Yelich hit his bomb. I ran up to tell one of them the Brewers tied it up and by the time I got downstairs, Braun was rounding the bases.

That was a fun one. That bullpen really is something. Should be able to win games and buy time to get that rotation somewhat respectable, then we can go places.

Someone tell Braun to wait a couple pitches next time.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Nevermind, deleted post I was wrong. Umm...hooray!

I don’t remember a Brewer win ever ending this way.

[topper09er]

How many games have started with 2 HRs and ended with 2 HRs??? I will try to look

 

This is very hard to research without access to the Elias database...but I will go out on a limb and say it has never happened before. Interesting, semi-related feat, here are the 6 players to hit a lead-off and walk-off HR in the same game

He seems to really be into this years team.

[FVBrewerFan]

Who is this new Craig Cushon with Auggie?

[valpocrewsader]

Think about how close Braun came to getting tossed in the 8th, arguing the (horrible) strike three call.

un-be-lie

vable......
