Game Thread (5/29/2022): Brewers (Burnes) at Cardinals (Mikolas) - 1:15 PM CDT

Nothing like production out of the 9 spot

[folly412]

Hopefully Burnes doesn't feel shaken by all this run support.

Jace In Your FACE!

[treego14]

Jace off their ace!

[edfunderburk]

Not being sarcastic … honest question:

Are those the first two back-to-back “barrels” for Cain this year?
What a help it would be if Cain begins to contribute offensively 

[Brewcrew82]

I wonder how many DRS the Cardinals have accumulated over the course of this series....

Its almost as if the 7-9 hitters matter too

[edfunderburk]

Peterson had dropped below .200 before that 3-run blast

He seems to contribute in unique ways just often enough to keep his utility role on the roster

That was a big HR … 

Hopefully, Burnes goes 7 innings & hands over a 4-run lead to Williams & Hader

A series split - on the road with key players on IR - would be huge for our Brew Crew

 

[Brewcrew82]

Yelich's underlying metrics are still really good, but I wouldn't be opposed to giving him one of the games off tomorrow...

[edfunderburk]

Yelich needs a day or two OFF 

He’s back to his 2020 & 2021 self … unacceptable

He teased for a week & got my hopes up

He’s an average to below-average MLB player these days

If only we had the $$$ back that he & Cain are receiving

If it's a 4 run lead, Counsell isn't using Hader

Good point … especially with a split DH tomorrow in Chicago

 

[Opening Day]

How many first pitch called strikes out of the zone have the Cardinals had in this series?  It feels like a lot.

[Opening Day]

Rowdy!  Hes at his best on the bases when hes leisurely jogging.

[timpep]

This is such a fun inning to watch.

[Brewcrew82]

That's one of the reasons you don't move a Gold Glove 2B to SS for offense....Cardinals have their problems just like us. 

[Opening Day]

Beating the Cardinals is always great, but when their ace and defense start to implode on top of that, its the pinnacle of regular season baseball for me.

I agree & I approve of this post ⚾️ ??

[igor67]

Does Cain even remember the last time he had multiple hits in the same game?

And when we're already in first place over them, too!

And playing short-handed on the road, too!

Told y’all. Never ever be concerned when Burnes is pitching. Just enjoy the starts and hope the offense puts a few across. Winning 4 of 7 on the road against two really good teams  is very solid. Team will have played 12 more road games vs home games when they finally return home. Also, I believe this is the most games they will play consecutively all season. 11 games in 10 days.

They have certainly held up pretty well thus far. Now, finish this game off without any issues and head to Wrigley to kick the crap out of the Cubs!

[edfunderburk]

Because I’ve been especially hard on & critical of LoCain’s offense all year - I must acknowledge that he’s hit the ball well all 3 times he’s been up today … his best at bat resulted in a long line drive to deep RF where Donovan made a great defensive play to rob him of at least a double.

[edfunderburk]

I’d love for Burnes to keep mowing down the Cards & see Milwaukee win this game without using Williams or Hader
