2019-09-13: Brewers (Houser) at Cardinals (Wainwright) [Brewers lose, 10-0]

[owbc]

Just need 4 solo home runs to tie it.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Worst case, we are a game back after tonight. Other than the Cubs, most WC teams look to be headed for losses.

 

I still think the offense makes this a game yet, but most of us were pretty resigned to one win at the outset.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

It does feel like our pitchers have walked a ton of hitters lately. The Marlins just weren't good enough to take advantage.

[Bulldogboy]

Counsell may think this one is over calling on Williams here first game back. Tough spot.

[adambr2]

Honestly, if, and I do say if, this series doesn't go well, it's hard to even be disappointed anymore. It just hasn't really felt like our year much in the second half, and with all the recent injuries it's felt like even more of just not our season.

 

The recent streak has been fun, and I'm enjoying that they're still in it, and they certainly are still in it, but my expectations for postseason play remain pretty low.

 

It just feels like they're playing with house money at this point.

[Brew crew 92]

Unless Houser’s hip is hurting, I don’t get taking him out after only 3. Could have got 4 or 5 out of him. 0-4 in the 4th, too early to give up. Lots of innings to cover with our worst pen arms.

[Bulldogboy]

The more you see Spangenberg the more you miss Hiura.

[Bulldogboy]

Freitas has entered Nate Orf territory. Meanwhile Nottingham hasn't had an ab since he came up. I don't get it.

[Brew crew 92]

Assuming now we see Faria Nelson Albers T Williams Burnes?

[HarveysWBs]

Assuming now we see Faria Nelson Albers T Williams Burnes?

 

[sarcasm]Let’s just rip the bandaid off and throw Burnes out there right now[/sarcasm].

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not sure whey Freitas continues to be the first guy off the bench.

[HarveysWBs]

Not sure whey Freitas continues to be the first guy off the bench.

 

They must hate his glove more than his bat.

[Brew crew 92]

Let’s see what we have in some of these other guys, probably a good strategy tonight. Faria 2 good outings in a row.

[pacopete4]

38-year old Wainwright mowing us down suuuuuuucks.

[PinaMadness]

Freitas has entered Nate Orf territory. Meanwhile Nottingham hasn't had an ab since he came up. I don't get it.

At least Orf hit a home run.

[Bulldogboy]

Not sure whey Freitas continues to be the first guy off the bench.

I'm sure our crack media contingent will get this question asked.

[yourout]

38-year old Wainwright mowing us down suuuuuuucks.

But is not suprising.

 

Crew doesn't hit movement very well.

I would rather see them face a guy with upper-90s fastball but a guy with a big curve.

[Bulldogboy]

What do you know another Karsay. In other words a leadoff walk from a reliever. Happens three or four times a game.

[willie key]

Didn’t brad Nelson go like 20 something at bats before he got his first hit. Freitas might match that

[Brew crew 92]

Might have spoke too soon on Faria, we’ll see.

[BruisedCrew]

Not sure whey Freitas continues to be the first guy off the bench.

 

Saving guys who might get a hit for later?

[Brew crew 92]

Faria with major command issues. It’s bad. Definitely seen enough of him this year.

[Brew crew 92]

Why is he still pitching? We have 6 more pen arms we can use, not including any we used yesterday.

[willie key]

Made it too easy for them tonight. Put no pressure on them.

[adambr2]

Why is he still pitching? We have 6 more pen arms we can use, not including any we used yesterday.

 

Because they ain't winning this game, so saving as many of and saving the best pen arms is the end goal now tonight.
