2018-06-23: Cardinals (Mikolas) at Brewers (Anderson) 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

I dont think domingo makes that play either

Ego is such a funny thing.

 

I truly want this game to end in a 1 run victory so that Matheny has to face a question from the media as to why.... when his team is 6.5 games behind Milwaukee (with maybe the best team in the NL between them as well) ... having lost 8 of 10 ... with his best pitcher on the mound to maybe right the ship ... against a MKE pitcher who is struggling with his confidence ...

 

... would he choose to put a Brewer on base for free simply so he could puff out his chest ... only to have that runner score and be the difference in the game.

 

Thanks Mike! Hope it was worth it.

 

Great post if they actually did it on purpose which seems highly unlikely.

[YelichPosse]

Any other outfield combo, yes that likely is caught ... unfortunately

[rcc]

Of all the Cards I dislike Molina the most followed closely by Pham. Why JJ why!

[PinaMadness]

Thames just looks out of place in the outfield. If Cain is still in the game that ball at least stays in the park.

[jerichoholicninja]

I'm against beanball wars, but I'd just like to see neck tat get one in the mummy-daddy button to see the look on his smug face.

 

Thank you.

[brewmann04]

yes Thames is a big weak link as an OF but his bat is needed in the Lineup so we take the good with the bad,

[PinaMadness]

That was one of the few mistakes Mikolas has thrown and got away with it.

[adambr2]

The inconsistency of this offense is just maddening...it really is all or nothing.

[phnxcrew]

When was the last time Shaw hit one out? He's been MIA most of the year aside from the AZ/CO road trip.

[brewmann04]

Shaw does not look right lately but yes the offense is still truly up an down.

[PinaMadness]

I think this is one of those games where you can truly tip your cap to the opposing pitcher instead of our offense just stinking it up. The game's not over yet though. We have to get to their bullpen somehow.

Did Braun almost hit one out? Uecker sure got excited.

It was right down the line on the warning track.....

High warning track ball near the left field pole.

[Eye Black]

Cain out with sore ribs.

Haudricourt Tweet...

 

“Brewers announce that CF Lorenzo Cain left the game with groin tightness.”

[pacopete4]

Thanks guys. Didn’t make it to the game today so bummed on that.

[PinaMadness]

We got a break there. I can't believe Matheny's going to the pen. Please take advantage.

[adambr2]

Getting really sick of Perez today. Trying to get Mikolas out of the game, Miller works a nice walk and Perez hacks first pitch and should have been 2 outs on one pitch.

 

Still have no earthly idea why he gets a starting nod against Mikolas.

[markedman5]

Please make MM pay for taking out a guy who was dominating us.

[PinaMadness]

Even Sedar knew not to send Perez.

[Eye Black]

Please make MM pay for taking out a guy who was dominating us.

It seems like Matheny is trolling the Cardinals fans calling for his ouster with this move.

[YelichPosse]

Piña should have let that 3-1 go , especially as wild as he was but, I digress.

[wildcat2237]

Pineapple is hovering around the Mendoza line....wonder how long til Stearns makes a move for a catcher..

[adambr2]

Damn it.
