2019-04-15: Cardinals (Hudson) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 10-7 -- Christian Yelich gives away a puppy, hits 3 home runs, tallies 7 RBI, makes sliding and diving catches, sheepishly obliges to curtain call]

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers should consider batting the pitcher 8 at this point. Arcia is brutal 95% of the time. Pitchers have been awesome with the sticks.

[PinaMadness]

He was safe, Arcia. Stop with the theatrics.

[pacopete4]

Should have taken the out at first.

[folly412]

Yeah, Arcia, let's go to replay to confirm that was a stupid idea.

[adambr2]

Ugh. Can't have that, especially with the top of the order coming up.

[MrTPlush]

Ugh. Can't have that, especially with the top of the order coming up.

 

Especially when your pitcher is a gas can. He is pitching terribly without giving away extra outs.

[sarcasm]Is it too early to go to Hader?[/sarcasm]

[wildcat83]

Hasn’t been great obviously, but this seems like kind of a quick hook...

[yfinn6]

No double switch? So be brings in Albers to face hopefully two batters... in the fourth inning?

[82brewcrew82]

This is better.

Batting the pitcher 8th becomes advantageous the better the 9 hitter is, or rather the bigger the difference between the 8 and 9 hitter. If your pitchers are better hitters than your worst position player, they should keep batting 9th. Or move up further than 8.

[Bulldogboy]

Does Jeffress want to come back with these starters? He will have 80 appearances in no time.

That be the plan, I guess. After Chacin's 2.2 innings yesterday it looks like we might get the San Antonio Shuttle warmed up this series.

[yfinn6]

Wow, Brewers got a break.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lol, Goldschmidt was right, he hit the glove.

[PinaMadness]

I long for the days when our starters could get through five.

[adambr2]

Brewers lucky that isn't reviewable. Goldy should have been on 1st, bases loaded 1 out.

[Eye Black]

That was a brutal call from Ron Kulpa, but I am sure this crew will find an opportunity for a makeup call later in this series.

[markedman5]

Is it catchers interference even on a check swing or just a ball? I don't think I've ever seen that before

[Oxy]

Brewers lucky that isn't reviewable. Goldy should have been on 1st, bases loaded 1 out.

 

After Arcia's screw up, all is where it should have been. 2 on, nobody out and Carp and Goldschmidt coming up.... 0 runs. That was not expected.

[Brew crew 92]

Matt Albers fireman!

[DuWayne Steurer]

My only question about that would be is Goldschmidt's back foot out of the batter's box? I doubt it, but that's something to look at as well. But yeah, the Brewers got a break there.

Arcia's screw up wasn't an obvious umpire screw up.

[82brewcrew82]

Eh, every team has calls like that go for and against them at some point during the year.

[Ennder]

I wonder if we see Burnes at some point this game and call someone up to take his spot in the rotation when it comes around.
