2017-04-23: Cardinals (Leake) at Brewers (Nelson) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[pacopete4]

These are the innings that keep Nelson from bring a pretty decent pitcher in the bigs. Some just never figure it out. He's most likely one of them.

Has anyone ever seen a major league team run the bases as bad as this Cardinal team? One more pickoff and I'm going to be watching Gilligan reruns.

 

BTW, Reds beating the Cubs in the 8th.

 

Confident in saying Villar of 2016 (April thru July) made more mistakes per game than 2017 Cardinal team all by himself.

Dead horse, but I can't imagine there is another team that kills themselves with walks more than the Brewers. You lead off the inning with a pair of walks, and then later in the inning, an 0-2 meatball to the pitcher let's two of them come home. It's just inexcusable and things like this continue to happen to our pitching staff.

Of the Cardinals' eight runs in the past three games, six have been driven in by pitchers.

No matter who is on our team, this is the sort of thing that just happens to us every time we see that Redbird jersey on the other side. I long for the day that we don't have to discuss every series with the Cardinals how much they own us, but they do.

[adambr2]

Oh yes please Jimmy, walk some more.

 

Get him out of there before this game gets away completely.

[stoutdude04]

Just setting up the double play. Obviously!

LOL. Well I'll certainly take it. Glad to see him throw a couple strikes.

[pacopete4]

Jimmy set himself up a possibility of getting through six innings now if Counsell wants. I think I would let him start the inning and if walks a guy, take him out.

[Ennder]

That inning looks like the players are thinking, yep, Cardinals beat us again. You can't let Leake off with that few pitches.

[pacopete4]

Now that Aguilar's hot streak is over and he only can play first base, can we move him down and bring up someone with more flexibility and possibly give us a bit more with the bat? Good spring training story and it was fun the first week but there's really no reason to keep him around now.

There's the trashy Cardinals we all know they are.

[Baldkin]

See ya later, Wario.

I've never seen Carpenter ejected. Matheny ejected as he walks away?! haha, love it.

 

I dunno, pretty good pitch from Suter to Carpenter. God Bless, America, btw.

Gameday had both pitches as strikes and strike 3 as not even close to a ball.

Looks like Carpenter bumped the ump ever so slightly. But since he's a Cardinal he'll probably get a bonus check from the league for being able to restrain himself from spitting on the ump after such an egregious call. The ump will be fired and hung at dawn.

[adambr2]

Why is it that every game our offense starts out looking like they're going to have a huge day, then as soon as they get a little behind they crawl into the fetal position for the rest of the game?

That's pretty much been this team the last 4 years or so.

Damn ricky it was a good pitch. Carp is a worthless POS that had ONE great year and has been coasting since. Can't lay off crap, can't field and can't run bases so he takes it out on the little ump. It's infuriating.

[adambr2]

LOL @ Carpenter. Stevie Wonder could tell that was a strike. You're going to feel like quite a moron when you go back and look at the tape of you throwing a childish temper tantrum over a perfect pitch.

[pacopete4]

Have to hit homers to score with this offense.

[adambr2]

I dunno Craig/David think maybe there is a reason the Pirates didn't want to keep this guy?

[yfinn6]

Nice having Hughes come in to put this game out of reach. It seems to be what he's been good at.

I hate defending Cardinals by Carpenter has been pretty great. Career OPS+ of 129 and consistently been 130 or higher and 3 or 4 WAR every year. His dWAR looks average to below average but his bat is top notch.
