2018-06-24: Cardinals (Weaver) at Brewers (Chacín) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-2]

[YelichPosse]

In just not sure we can rally with the Sunday white flag special lineup but will hold out hope !!

 

By the way our Sunday record has to be abysmal ..... can’t recall winning many Sundays

 

3-8

 

 

Thank you.

 

Wow. So it doesn’t just feel like it ... ouch

If we lose this game by one run again, CC will have alot to answer for.

Of we lose this game by one run, it will be a miracle.

[KeithStone53151]

For the third time this week CC tries to squeeze another inning out of a starter who doesn't have it and for the second time it bites him in the rear and would've been a third time if Hader didn't save his rear.

 

This is one of my greatest frustrations with CC. I actually criticize Maddon in the opposite direction for overmanaging his bullpen...CC is awful in the opposite direction. He gets too caught up trying to be overly efficient with his bullpen...and it's especially bad today with an off day tomorrow and a generally rested bullpen. I guarantee the Cubs would have gone to the bullpen sooner and had a better chance of staying in the game. It's obviously to everyone on the field that Chacin doesn't have it today...it's been obvious since the 1st inning.

[LouisEly]

Chacin has been so good. He was due for a blow up. Would be real nice if Cincinnati can hold for us

Cubs down to their last out.

SWEPT!!

[jason21nl]

I agree with that however shouldn’t they be able to read the signs? He’s showed that he was in pain both batting and in the field. He’s also missed pitches he typically handles. Not saying that doesn’t happen throughout the year but if you add it all up it shows that he was probably in quite a bit of pain.

[YelichPosse]

Just think .. the Cubs got swept... and we are headed for a disappointing split... bummer . Lost chances ... and I know today is not done but it feels like a 20 run deficit lol

We've blown a real opportunity to put some distance between us.

He’s also bobbled a lot of plays and made a couple errors too. Just not looking right to us... how can they not see it

[adambr2]

Very disappointing to not win this series after the way it started especially against a hated rival. Has not been a good month for the Brewers.

[PinaMadness]

Earlier today I was in the process of ordering tickets online for the Sunday Dodgers game next month and changed my mind before placing the order. I'm so glad I did now.

I'm not sure why a game in June would impact ordering tickets to a game at the end of July...

It’s a Sunday.. lol

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

A split does feel disappointing after the great start. June has been very mediocre for the Brewers, but they remain 2 up on the Cubs and 4.5 on the Cards with a loss today.

 

In general, this 21-games in 20 days stretch will go a long way in determining how serious this team is. Lots of games against bad teams in there. If they go something like 13-8, I will feel really good about their ability to stick around.

 

A big part of it is going to be health. How dinged up are Cain and Shaw? The lineup looks really gross without those two in it.

 

How about an 8-run 5th, Brewers?

I think it was a statement of our general performance on Sundays.

[adambr2]

Sogard always makes contact though.

[clancyphile]

Braun can play third... I know that would be desperation, but that's an option...

Way more likely to see Aguilar there. Even more likely to see Perez or Miller. They've got plenty of options for 3rd without going there.

Exactly. Had nothing to do with this game. I don't feel like watching a AAA lineup.

No, he won't...

[adambr2]

As nice as it would have been to put some space between us and the Cubs, it's a missed opportunity for them too to pull back with us. Works both ways.

 

Regardless, we need to start controlling the things we can control and play better baseball.

 

Won't be easy with all the injuries, but I'd like to see them strengthen their bench internally a little bit and stop hanging onto guys who have no business being on an MLB 25 man roster.

Does anyone really think we are scoring 9+ runs today?

[brewmann04]

well see what happens when the cards don't make 4 errors well its a split so can't be too upset. but the brewers have not taken advantage of good pitching

[pacopete4]

The thing that ticks me off with today’s game is allowing Weaver to get six innings in after making him throw 50+ pitches in the first two innings.

 

Edit: 5 2/3

[adambr2]

Might as well take a crack at cutting the lead in half with Aguilar.
