2018-06-21: Cardinals (Martinez) at Brewers (Suter) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-3; Cardinals defensive woes; Suter - 7 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K]

[Eye Black]

Tonight is the worst collective defensive performance I can remember from a professional baseball team. Wow.

[bigredrobbo]

Can you imagine Brewerfan if the Crew played D like the Cards? Chernobyl-esque meltdown!

[MadScientist]

Wow Gyroko is terrible in the field.

[Underachiever]

Gant was brought up to start on Monday, according to stl announcers. Guess not.

[MrTPlush]

Man. Destroying the Cardinals, big error at the start of the inning, load them up, bomb a triple to center, and then another error to keep the bleeding going.

 

Yes...I like.

 

Also I missed that Ozuna HR run...erm fly ball robbery attempt. Yikes...just yikes.

[pacopete4]

I’m really enjoying watching the Cardinals hand us run after run. This is way better than the other way around.

[wildcat83]

Lack of playing time doesn't explain why he strikes out seemingly every time he bats. It's not asking much to at least put the ball in play. If he does that, then we can talk about lack of ABs as a viable reason.

 

He struck out 29 % of plate appearances last year, 32 % this year. Not a huge change, the irregular AB could cause a small change like that. The lack of power this year makes it more noticeable/less tolerable.

[FVBrewerFan]

Can't wait to hear the cards complain how the scoreboard ribbons distract them from handling routine ground balls.

[PinaMadness]

What's the most we've ever won by vs Cards? I want one more than that...

I don't know but they beat them 10-0 in Game 1 of the 1982 World Series. Molitor had 5 hits and Yount had 4.

I'm sure that is exactly what is happening on the Cardinals boards...LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

You're making me want to go check the Cards boards.

[kybrewerfan]

Quick hook for Taylor Williams please

[yfinn6]

Way to work out. 11-2 and all, but nice to see that by Williams.

[PinaMadness]

I don't care if we score another 10 runs, put in Hader in the ninth.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Cubs lose to the Reds is nice to read.

Pretty tepid. I’ve been living in stl for about a year, and so many are just done with Matheny. Tonight has to be a low point. Bases loaded, nobody out is just the cherry on top.

[FVBrewerFan]

I don't care if we score another 10 runs, put in Hader in the ninth.

 

Unless the Brewers score negative 6 runs in the 8th, no.

[yfinn6]

Watching this position player pitch reminds me of the baseball league I play in.

[TURBO]

Shaw beats the shift! lol

[NYChez]

Two straight Suter starts where an opposing position player pitched.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Pina now 7 for his last 17 with a walk. Turning the corner?

[yfinn6]

Rock's story about Rob Deere striking out on 3 pitches against a position player is pretty good.

 

How quickly they forget about Perez striking out against a position player what, a week ago? Hilarious that he hit a homerun earlier in the game, too.

[topper09er]

Well that inning shows why a leadoff walk is always bad for the pitcher

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Suter has solidified himself as a solid member of the rotation. No shaky ground anymore. He's been very consistent for over a month, and is going deeper into games. He's not going to give you shut-outs, but he's not going to blow up on you either. If he can give you 6-7 innings every time out, and keep it under three runs, that works.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Suter and Chacin are the two most reliable guys. Never would have said that in April.
