2019-04-17: Cardinals (Wacha) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers lose, 6-3 -- Burnes’ struggles continue]

[clancyphile]

Random thought, can we deny the DH when offered in an AL matchup and instead just have someone ready to run for him once the pitcher puts the ball in play?

 

Actually, the DH can be used for any position. So... DH for Arcia?

1B

Jeffress hitting 93 with nasty movement. Positive first step.

[MrTPlush]

Jeez - Jesus smoked that ball

 

I'm not able to watch. I saw it was a double play, but did he actually hit it hard...or no?

 

He did - if it wasn't right at the SS it would've been a single

 

But what if it was right at the 3B, 2B, 1B, or P?

Would've went right through them it was hit so hard...only chance was for the infielder furthest away from the plate

Looks like first 65 innings of last year jeffress to me. Wasn’t expecting that much movement on FB.

I guess I don't get it. We are already in the 8th, when will Yelich hit his HR today?

Still got the 9th...

Maybe in little league or high school, but not in the bigs.

Already back in a slump!

No it can't. Rule 5.11(a)(1)

A hitter may be designated to bat for the starting pitcher and all subsequent pitchers in any game without otherwise affecting the status of the pitcher(s) in the game

[Brew crew 92]

Lots of positives to take from this game:

Burnes > throw all 5 pitches or learn to throw em in AAA.

 

Wilkerson > potential big league starter, multi inning pen arm, trade candidate.

 

Jeffress > looks like a high leverage pen arm to me.

[topper09er]

 

He did - if it wasn't right at the SS it would've been a single

 

[liveforoctober]

Thames for Aguilar here, yes?

[Fear The Chorizo]

ok Braun, set the bat down for two pitches

[Fear The Chorizo]

blue is squeezing him now...

[adambr2]

Thanks for nothing Shaw.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hicks sure does throw hard, but that fastball looks like its coming out of pitching machine.

[Fear The Chorizo]

what the heck Shaw

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

what the heck Shaw

 

He's always been streaky. But yeah he's been bad.

[pacopete4]

2 out of 3

 

That’s how this division will be won. Just like a season ago. Good series win.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'll emotionally trade a loss for seeing Jeffress look good.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yep!

 

Next up, take 3 of 4 from the Dodgers. Also, please put Aguilar on the bench for a couple games.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Aguilar looks terrible but they really need him to get going so I understand the long leash there. It feels later in the season than it is.

[folly412]

A Burnes option and Wilkerson start Monday seems agreeable. Only question is if Houser is coming up Saturday or if Anderson is getting the ball.
