2018-05-29: Cardinals (Wacha) at Brewers (Davies) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-1]

[PinaMadness]

It's not like Wong barreled in on Saladino and took him out. The injury was self-inflicted. The difficulty of the toss to 2nd isn't really a factor.

Davies always starts the year horrible. We're talking wretched. Usually bounces back but who knows if his shoulder is right. Shoulders are a danger to themselves.

I thought Braun was going to crush that pitch from Walka.. instead it's a chopper up the middle.

Loss-loss to end this home stand would be a very disappointing way to hit the road.

[adambr2]

Guessing at this point that this is one of those "we get shutout" games.

You’re chalking up tomorrow as a loss already? I thought you were switching to America’s Got Talent.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Not looking good. Even with a loss tomorrow, that is a 7-3 homestand to cap an 18-9 May.

 

Still, I think this team rallies for a few tonight and wins a close one tomorrow.

This is what I came here to write. We are overdue for our one-out-of-every-five-games is a shutout trend.

[TURBO]

Let's check in on Kato and see how he's doing, shall we?

 

 

lol

 

This guy is a treat.

 

Is he from WI? If so, How do I not know this?

 

Yes.....I went to high school with him at Nicolet. He was on the baseball team that finished as the state runner up in 1976.

 

He was an athlete? Would never have guessed.

[YelichPosse]

That Aguilar at bat was huge, not giving up the at bat and raising the pitch count for Wacha.... hope that helps get to the pen faster

[TURBO]

The kicker if we can't win the series is this:

 

It's the freaking Cardinals. We have to be able to beat the Cubs and Cards if we have any play-off plans.

[markedman5]

That's at least 5 line drive outs.......one of those games.

[adambr2]

There cannot possibly be a team in the history of modern major league baseball to be in 1st place in their league at the end of May and also have been shut out double digit times by then. I mean I feel like I don't even need to bother to look that up.

Thanks for playing.

[TURBO]

This is the kind of game you use Logan and Knebel, let them get things straight.

 

Logan should not be used in another 1 or 2 run game, EVER!

Amen.

[FVBrewerFan]

Who would have guessed Nicolet was once good at a sport other than tennis?

[young guns]

[sarcasm]theres some more of that bad defense from aguilar.[/sarcasm]

I want to beat these teams more than I want to beat anyone, but we don't have to win every series against them to win the division. If the score holds, we will be 11-14 against divisional opponents. Not good. But not horrible. Just playing aroind .500 is fine. We aren't going to sweep the Reds every time, and the Cubs aren't going to continue to play .800 ball against us.

 

This is going to be a tight division all summer. We are right where you want to be at the end of May. There are 4 months of baseball left. Have winning months. That is all that needs to happen.

[TURBO]

That run down was the perfect opportunity for Braun to get hurt. I expected that as the outcome...

[TURBO]

So, odds are, we will be seeing the Nerd in everyday action for a while. THAT just SUCKS! (as he gets a base hit while I'm typing)

[markedman5]

Just like we all figured....only hits tonight from Perez and Sogard

[markedman5]

Cubs offense really rolling right now.

[TURBO]

Wish we had Thames to pinch hit here.

[mtrebs]

There goes the shutout! Might as well win now...
