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

[adambr2]

Why did suter not bunt to advance arcia?

 

That cost us a run!

 

Butcher boy play. Infield drawn in and pulled it back and swung away to see if he could steal a hit. Almost worked.

[adambr2]

Of course the AAA fill in guy is shutting down our offense, just like every other pitcher these days.

Suter has been less then successful bunting this year......might have had something to do with it.

So we got cute... dumb. Anything we can do to avoid scoring I guess.

Would be interesting to know how much it actually works. I mean, I've seen it work, but it seems like odds are much better to lay down a bunt than ask a pitcher to pull back, hit the ball, and hit a hole in the infield.

[PinaMadness]

The Brewers hitters are making outs even quicker than normal.

Well we haven't seen him and he throws a change.

Suter isn't a very good bunter. He fouled off the first bunt attempt way out of the zone. I would have preferred it if he gets it down too but pretty good chance he strikes out or pops it up.

[TJseven7]

Kinda pathetic when your hitting is so bad your pitchers, who bunt!, can't bunt.

[MrTPlush]

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.

 

Whatever makes you feel better.

Yeah he needs to be able to get that down. Can't afford to be stranding leadoff doubles with how bad this offense is struggling

[adambr2]

Well, at least he put it in play and something good happened.

[OnaBadger58]

Suprised they are pitching to Arcia. Make him pay

[adambr2]

Well, doubt Suter swings away here.

[adambr2]

Got it down there. Need Sogard to deliver...

[OnaBadger58]

Suprised they are pitching to Arcia. Make him pay

Nevermind, thought there were two outs

[TJseven7]

See that was just fine

[adambr2]

Sogard and Villar are basically interchangeable at this point. We just don't have a 2nd baseman. Why they both lead off is pretty weird.

[SomewhereInTime]

This is an insane stretch of RISP failure.

[TJseven7]

Got it down there. Need Sogard to deliver...

 

Where's our flare or seeing eye single. Isn't that what happens in thise scenerios?

[adambr2]

3 runs should be more than enough with the offense on our side.

 

Of course it has to be Yadier freaking Molina that kills us today.

How're you feeling the last three weeks? Fine and dandy?

 

Do you enjoy watching yadier yuck it up in the dugout?

[adambr2]

There's a part of me that wanted to see them just pull Suter last inning and take a shot with Aguilar with 1st and 2nd. You just don't know with his offense when you'll get another shot.

[OnaBadger58]

2 run lead in the sixth feels insurmountable

[adambr2]

2 run lead in the sixth feels insurmountable

 

Could get worse here in a sec..
