2017-08-02: Cardinals (Weaver) at Brewers (Suter) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[hawing]

I've seen evidence of both Luke Weaver and Adam Wainwright getting tonight's start for the visitors, and I don't know if it will be confirmed either way before I have to leave for Milwaukee.

Big Game tonight! HUGE!!!! OK, not really, but I'm still looking forward to it

 

meanwhile:

 

Free Lewis Brinson! End the Keon madness

 

(yes I have too much time on my hands)

Obviously, every game is a big one if you are hoping to compete for a playoff spot… however the biggest theme the rest of the way is we have to win series. We can’t keep dropping 2 of 3 and this is obviously amplified against those who are also trying to stay in the playoff picture. On paper, tonight’s game is the one to get in order to win the series. Wacha has been throwing well, up against a spot starter tonight, etc.

 

So yes, long winded way of saying I agree… tonight is a nice one to get 

Broxton in the 7 hole... allowing Arcia to see nothing but breaking balls. A nice little Arcia sandwich

I'm glad Bronson now gets to ride the line behind a waste of a CF who is older. Good way to develop your best prospect

Bronson Koenig? He's a basketball player. You mean Brinson?

We signed Bronson Arroyo to play OF for the Brewers.

Indeed-typo. But I would not be surprised if Koenig could make contact more than Keon

That would be hilarious!!!! Depressing, but hilarious. If Doug Melvin was still GM, Arroyo would have gotten signed to a 3 year 30 million dollar contract this past winter. We'd read feel good stories about his veteran leadership and the good part would be that BA would talk less about his dog and more about Bronson's singing

[MrTPlush]

I saw Hello Kitty in CF prior to game. Can anyone confirm?

Kill it with fire!

[adambr2]

Nothing like hitting a HR and then giving it right back the following inning.

[adambr2]

Good work by Suter getting out of the big jam with limited damage.

[TJseven7]

Not a matchup I love for suter... control is a bit off tonight too.

 

Offense.... hello... can we get cheap burgers please?

[MoreTrife]

Baseball gets real tedious to watch without any offense. Strikeouts galore. Booooo.

[markedman5]

Suter bringing the "heat......throwing that high fastball right bye the Cards at 87....

[DuWayne Steurer]

Fun fact. 34 of Thames 45 rbi have come via HR. Thames is 11 for 73 with a 247 slg with risp.

[3and2Fastball]

T minus 3 innings till BA starts talking about his Dog

[adambr2]

Side note here: Gyorko's first pitch from Suter is, by the definition of the rule, a strike. It is never, almost ever, like 1 time out of 1000, called a strike, because it winds up near the dirt, but it is actually supposed to be a strike.

[sauveb]

I would hate to be a starting pitcher for this team. There just isn't any margin of error. Also, Yadier Molina is my least favorite player of all time.

[TJseven7]

Why did suter not bunt to advance arcia?

 

That cost us a run!

Before the All-Star break, there was plenty of margin for error. Just ask Mr. Davies.

[MoreTrife]

For the optimists, it's not negative to say "game over" at this point, it's just following history over the last 2-3 weeks.

[wibadgers23]

Yeah Cards have to feel pretty good right now with 2 runs. Pretty sad.
