2018-04-10: Brewers (Suter) at Cardinals (Martínez) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3, 11 innings]

[B-Train]

This Leone guy has blown a few games already this season.

[mtrebs]

Is it normal to be losing sleep stressfully watching the Brewers in April?

 

Yeah, this season has been way too stressful, considering it’s only April 10.

[TJseven7]

Hes getting molina beat up.

[Oxy]

This game thread is fitting for this game. So strangely entertaining and exasperating.

 

Cheese sandwiches?

[TJseven7]

Great cut santana... fool

 

FOOL!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Santana trying to hit an eleventy-nine run homer. Good approach!

[adambr2]

I said highly-regarded prospect. He was ranked #6 in our organization in 2012. That's highly-regarded.

 

The Brewers' minor league system was widely considered amongst the league's bottom 5 back then - so being the 6th-rated prospect in a system headlined by Wily Peralta is tough to be considered highly regarded.

 

sigh...more innings of baseball for this slow motion train wreck of a team - at least it feels that way!

 

No kidding. Logan Schafer, Kyle Heckathorn and Nick Bucci were some of our other top organizational prospects from that era. Top organizational prospect doesn't equal top prospect if the system stinks.

Good chemistry on the board tonight boys.

Don't forget about the second coming of Randy Johnson... Johnny Hellweg

Brewers upper management at the time considered him to be a pretty solid prospect. That was never the point of my post. The bottom line is, second base is pretty weak right now and I wish we'd have kept him. That's my opinion, it isn't going to change. You can have yours.

 

Back to the game.

You are the one that brought it up completely out of the blue.

[Fear The Chorizo]

If it wasn't the Cardinals, I'd almost like to see someone knock one out of here in the bottom half to prevent something stupid happening with a reliever...then again Hoover could probably be ridden until this game is put out of its misery and then get sent down to CO Springs after tonight, right?

[MadThinker88]

Don't forget about the second coming of Randy Johnson... Johnny Hellweg

 

I believe I saw Hellweg is closing games for AAA Indy Indians (Pirates affiliate) this year...

They opened at home against the Columbus Clippers...

[BigDaddy1974]

Unbelievable that Jennings was not used to face Garcia. The way CC uses his bullpen is more than frustrating. The Drake and Hoover moves just baffle me. Jennings is better than both in my opinion. Why save him? Someone please explain the rationale. Will our media ask CC some tougher questions concerning his moves.

Well at least you are open minded.

[TJseven7]

Another infield single....

[Fear The Chorizo]

another IF single...what the turds

[dlk9s]

What's the last base hit that the Cardinals really drilled? Seems like all the base runners are walks or dinkers.

 

EDIT: Well, there's one.

[topper09er]

another cheap infield hit

Wow. Sure enough, he is still pitching. That actually really surprises me.

No options left. They'd have to waive him.

Trying to win it in the 14th

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ugh ... well, that was appropriate.

I'm fine with that, actually

[TJseven7]

Ball game... sctew this team... CC great choices... way to try ... whatever the crap you were doing.

 

Drake up 1

Watch williams take those same guys out.

Yank him for the cricket hurler...

Leave hoover in instead of going for the throat

 

Hell throw hader for 1 guy... try to end it... your leading you dope.
