2018-04-03: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Anderson) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

Yelich is so good at this game. I swear he's the type that could hit 30HRs+ if he tried, but he puts the ball in play, gets on base over that statistic.

[gebc1997]

Didn't use Hader or Knebel either

[B-Train]

sorry if this has already been confirmed, but according to MLB this is the first time in history a game has started and ended with back to back bombs.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Think about how close Braun came to getting tossed in the 8th, arguing the (horrible) strike three call.

 

Yep, very close to Perez taking that at-bat.

Reminds me of #19..

How did you find that?

They mentioned it on the broadcast.

[dlk9s]

Back-to-back homers on back-to-back pitches and they were total no-doubter bombs.

I don’t remember a Brewer win ever ending this way.

 

The Easter Sunday game was close, but obviously that wasn't back-to-back pitches (or even back-to-back hitters).

Same result probably.

Cards lead for 311.

 

Tied for 1.

Perez had a more important role to play, gatorade dumper

This is going to be overlooked because of the hitting heroics, but the bullpen again was huge. Barnes has looked great. Albers is still underrated, and recovered from that error to get that huge popup from Wong when they had a great chance to add insurance.

 

Jeffress again just looks better in Milwaukee, and Jennings looks like a nice addition. Another great pen day with no Knebel and no Hader. And Taylor Williams is a call away.

Not to be a dick, but the game was tied for 2 pitches (first and last) and the Cardinals had the lead when the other 311 were thrown. Brewers never had the lead when any pitch was thrown

[wildcat83]

ESPN highlights have cards announcers. Can't wait to hear Ueckers calls on those two

Ha! I took that from a Cardinals message board. I blame those 'morans'.

[RollieTime]

What an amazing game to be at! Walk-off win on back to back home runs! Looking forward to watching the Brewers close out the series tomorrow with consecutive series wins to start the 2018 season!

Now I am glad he was a dick.

I think it is the “end result” of each pitch. Regardless, what an unreal game.

[MrTPlush]

I do not understand why on earth Ryan Braun is starting today. Santana started the season with three good games...and is on the bench two days in a row.

 

I hope in retrospect I am wrong.

 

Haha this is great. Well done man. Even as a big Braun guy I semi questioned why Santana was sitting two games in a row.

 

Maybe this confirms he needs to start over Braun. Just PH Braun in 9th. He has a pretty stellar line in those situations.

[brewmann04]

Kudos to the bullpen for picking up Chase tonight.

It is also snowing a lot at my house in April, this will be a game to remember

[NYChez]

Chacin, Suter, Davies, and Woodruff all have ERA’s over 5, and the Brewers are 4-1. Hopefully the late-game magic can be replaced (or supplemented) by more sustainable, improved starting pitching.
