2018-09-24: Brewers (Bullpen) at Cardinals (Flaherty) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-4 -- Lots of drama & a clutch W!]

[dlk9s]

Umps really need mics so they can tell everyone what the hell is going on.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Arcia is soooooo lackadaisical this inning ... cannot catch a line drive, bunting through balls on his own ... getting picked off at first ... bench him!

 

I have a feeling he'll be awake now.

 

Saladino was used, and I don't want to see Schoop or Perez at SS here.

[Ennder]

Arcia stopped because the ump told him the play was over, not really his fault.

[topper09er]

Man we just cannot get a big base hit tonight, so frustrating.

without the stupid pickoff attempt Kratz would have delivered

[topper09er]

Arcia was fine running, the problem was his hitting

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Gotta go Knebel here, right?

 

Edit: Nope, it's Soria. Well, I hope Counsell has Jeffress ready to roll on a moment's notice.

[Bulldogboy]

If Arcia is that mentally fried that he tries to bunt on his own when all you need is a fly ball he can't play. Give me Schoop and three crazy hacks.

[mtrebs]

We could have a sizable lead in this game if we could get a hit with RISP. Good thing the Cardinals are trying to give this game to us. Let’s take it.

[TooLiveBrew]

Yep, Knebel with Soria warming in the pen to start the inning.

[FVBrewerFan]

Arcia is just not major league caliber at the dish in a spot like this.

 

He put the ball in play. That would have been a k for him or anyone else in the 10 seasons before this year.

Yea, that was bad. Worst part is the 2nd bunt attempt was on a fastball right down the middle. He wants to try it on his own the 1st pitch, that I can at least understand, but doing it until you have 2 strikes?? C'mon.

[HarveysWBs]

Uh oh, Soria... This is white-knuckle stuff, now

They might have done well in that situation in 2011, or the first half of numerous other seasons.

[shanedog19]

Knebel needs to be on standby here.

[FVBrewerFan]

Counsel is still irate. Say what you will, but he does not tolerate stupid baseball.

[Bulldogboy]

I hate Soria here. Prove me wrong please!!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

They need him to right the ship this week. He's too good to be getting knocked around like he has been at times since the trade.

[wildcat83]

Wow, 95 from Soria

[phnxcrew]

Hit Molina in the face

[SRB]

I hate Soria here. Prove me wrong please!!

 

He can handle the pressure as well as anybody in the game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Hit Molina in the face

 

 

Haha, in the neck tat.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, 95 from Soria

 

Fastest he's been on the gun since coming to the Brewers. I wonder if St. Louis has a quick gun, though? Hicks is fast, but I don't know about 102 fast.

[wildcat83]

Why would Bader ask to have the ball checked?

[owbc]

Counsel is still irate. Say what you will, but he does not tolerate stupid baseball.

 

The last guy to make Counsell this mad got traded to the Orioles...

[Bulldogboy]

Good plan to have Knebel up behind him.
