2015-06-02 Brewers (Cravy) at Cardinals (Lynn), 7:15 PM CDT -- RHP Tyler Cravy makes MLB debut [Brewers lose, 1-0 ... Cravy: 7 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 6 K]

So, why have we ditched batting the pitcher 8th already? Is it because we weren't winning enough games?

[TooLiveBrew]

CC has been batting the SP at either 8 or 9 in recent games

Rookie pitchers can't bat 8th.

That was a horrible strike 2 call on Braun. Joe West just doing what he can to let everyone know he's in charge. He sucks.

[Matt Breen]

Joe West is just an awful ump.

[AKCheesehead]

We got Joe Wested again. How can an ump be so bad year after year?

[pacopete4]

Greg Maddux made himself a HOF pitcher with those types of calls, yikes.

Maddux is third all time in pitcher war behind Clemons and Cy Young. I don't think an extra inch or two was the reason for it.

[torts]

Call me Cravy, but brewers pitching had been on fiers lately

[jerichoholicninja]

Joe West is just an awful ump.

 

And he stared down Braun that whole at bat. What a tool.

[jerichoholicninja]

Surprised West didn't toss Jean for throwing his bat.

[yfinn6]

Haha. Every time I see Joe West behind the plate he always throws out someone.

[jerichoholicninja]

At least West did something good tonight.

[jjkoestler]

There goes the on base streak. That's too bad. /blue

[1992casey]

Pitchers were hitting eighth when Gómez led off and ninth when he didn't. I believe that Lucroy being out was a contributing factor. This is the first time in recent memory that Gómez has led off with the pitcher hitting ninth.

[Matt Breen]

Holiday was hosed. That was a terrible call. At least West's awfulness isn't discriminatory.

I can imagine CardinalsFan.net right now with a bunch of posts like, "why do we always stink against the no-name rookie SPs?!?!"

No, they're talking about their classy Cardinals and how they welcomed the new guy into MLB with open arms by grounding into a handful of double-plays, etc.

[MrTPlush]

Nice start by Cravy. Interested to see him when he gets extended time at the MLB level and hitters get better scouting reports.

[Matt Breen]

I think we're going to exchange 1-0 shutouts. We went first, tonight it's the Cards' turn.

Me think you be right.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'm going with 2-1 ... hoping for a Lind-bomb!

 

EDIT: or not

[pacopete4]

I wish we had Perez and his .100+ ops to pinch hit in the 9th

[TooLiveBrew]

Man, is it good to have Luuuuc back! Nice piece of hitting.

[stoutdude04]

Runner on 3rd...1 out...typical brewers ending here?
