I do NOT like this match-up, not one single bit.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

For some odd reason I have a feeling Suter is going to deal tonight....did I just say that? Yikes

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It would really be nice to see Suter eat some innings tonight to give the pen a break. This is the exact type of situation where he's surprised me in the past with a great game seemingly out of nowhere. I predict 7 innings and 1 ER. Hopefully the hitters can get to Martinez better than they did last week.

[Boomer5]

These are the odd matchups we somehow win 11-5.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Do we see Villar or Sogard tonight? Villar has good numbers against Martinez. Maybe we get both, and Arcia sits? I will say:

 

Thames

Santana

Braun

Shaw

Pina

Phillips

Villar

Arcia

Suter

Talk about punting this game. What a lineup. Ish.

[liveforoctober]

Whoever had Game #11 as when we would see our first lineup WITHOUT Cain, Yelich, AND Braun wins a really big prize.

[liveforoctober]

With that said and with what a few others have stated above ... this is precisely the game we will get our first 8-1 win or something like that.

[josh]

Like some others, I saw the lineups and the SPs and thought "lol, we're gonna blow 'em out." Because baseball.

Exactly my thought.

 

With this putrid lineup I’d rather have Aguilar in there and stick Thames in LF until a double switch presents itself. CC also made it easy to bring in matchup relievers with a non-staggered lineup.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wow. I was way off. That doesn't look good against Martinez, but baseball is random. I guess I think the bottom of the order might be pretty good?

 

Seriously stretching for hope here.

What's the record for strikeouts in a 9 inning game by one team? We might find out tonight...

[tmwiese55]

Assuming Cain is back tomorrow probably would've liked to see Braun play tonight and then have tomorrow off. Is what is, this is the type of game you can probably get a big payday betting MKE

[Devinep]

The lineup threw off my whole schedule-looking at that, I was sure it was Sunday

[TJseven7]

Winning last night makes this stomachable. Shock the world.

It is still only 20, occurred 6 times. The 20 K games by Clemens (2) , Kerry Wood, Max Scherzer, this one from last year and this one started by Greinke. The Red Sox have half of these as the pitching team, and offense teams are HOU, TEX, and SEA twice plus DET twice.

 

Our franchise record is 19, perpetrated by none other than the Cardinals back in 2016...in a game started by Carlos Martinez

[Dead Simmons]

I have one thing figured out: You have to have a 5 run lead in the 8th to beat the Brewers.

[SeaBass]

I like April Eric Thames.

[liveforoctober]

The route is on!

[sarcasm]Wow, you really think a lot of Suter![/sarcasm]

[liveforoctober]

Villar with a scratch single ... now the excitement begins

[adambr2]

I don't believe that Martinez hit Pina on purpose, but I find it kind of strange when I would have expected them to intentionally walk him anyway.

[82brewcrew82]

Suter throwing gaaas tonight.

[MrTPlush]

Naturally Suter is going to start a combined no-hitter.
