2018-04-09: Brewers (Chacín) at Cardinals (Mikolas) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4, 10 innings]

[SeaBass]

Nope, good to see innings like that happen to the opposition too sometimes.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Don't mean to be a debbie downer, but does this win seem a little bittersweet?

 

How so? I don't think Cain even went back to the training room. I guess we'll see, but I think (hope) he's fine.

[stoutdude04]

They have a guy who throws absolute gas, and Drake is coming in? Why, Craig, why?

 

You know why...

 

Do tell.

 

Williams is a rookie. We don't trust rookies.

[rcc]

Great bullpen work once again. Winning on the road in St. Louis tonight.

[wallus]

Probably safe to expect an off day for Cain tomorrow?

[pacopete4]

Villar- 2B

Thames- 1B

Braun- LF

Shaw- 3B

Santana- RF

Sogard- SS

Pina- C

Phillips- CF

 

 

 

Is what I’m expecting tomorrow.

Guess I don't like seeing Cain get injured, seeing my "closer" blow another 1 run lead in the 9th, and winning by getting 4 walks in the 10th because an opponents closer obviously isn't up to par yet after taking an eternity to sign. A win is a win I guess, but I think I'm not as high on it because I'd like to see a win where we don't really have to worry much. I'd be happy with a blowout victory at some point here

Counsell said Cain has slight quad issue but wants to play tomorrow. Braun was out in double switch to move pitcher back in order.

Heck, I'd love a 10-0 laugher as well, but that doesn't make tonight's win any less exhilarating. The Cardinals embarrassed this team last week in 2 of 3, so I'll take a W any way I can get it against those guys.

Gonna be a cold one again tomorrow. Plus, you have a terrific defensive CF that will likely be sent down Wednesday for a pitcher. I hope Cain doesn't get off the bench. He's been durable so far, but I think it's best to sit him.

[CheezWizHed]

Albers going for wins instead of saves...

Would make sense to keep him longer and send down a pitcher since we have an off day Thursday.

Phillips will need to stay a bit longer now. Our outfield depth is too thin.

[Pugger]

I know it's probably grounds for a permanent banning to say anything complimentary about a Cardinal, but I really enjoyed Wainwright talking about his garden.

 

I did too. He was funny and he could get a part time job as a color man after he retires. He might now be my only favorite Cardinal.

I missed this unfortunately, but Wainwright is easily my favorite Cardinals player.

 

Also thought that was an awesome interview. He's got the personality to be in the booth some day. I laughed out loud a few times. One odd thing was he talked about injured players in the dugout. I didn't think that was allowed during the game.

 

That part of ESPN broadcast was cool. Them showing Mikolas eating a live lizard was completely disgusting and had no bearing on the game at all. No clue why they would decide to show that.

 

Yeah, that was gross.

[Pugger]

Ummm since when does Josh Hader have a nice change up?

 

Kid's gonna be in the rotation by the end of the year.

 

The ESPN announcers were raving about Hader last night.

[Pugger]

Solid night for sogard. Still don't think he's any good.

 

Did he hit lead-off last year? He can have a knack for getting on base.

[Pugger]

Boy does not having a closer suck

 

I know the inning isn't over and Albers gave up a single to start the inning, but the blown game against the Cubs and this inning so far really have nothing to do with the lack of a closer.

 

In both innings combined, it's been mostly balls that haven't left the infield.

 

And poor defensive execution behind the pitcher.

[Pugger]

Is Aguilar hurt, why not him over Perez?

 

I was thinking the same thing last night...

[Pugger]

Is Aguilar hurt, why not him over Perez?

Perez is playing LF. Already in the game.

 

Oh! I forgot...

[Pugger]

Love that the Brewers were in the national spotlight tonight with the win, and the fact it was beating the Cardinals is just a sweet little bonus!

 

this. all day long
