2019-03-29: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 9-5 -- Goldschmidt hits 3 HRs]

[PinaMadness]

Replay would've upheld the replay anyway.

[topper09er]

nice turn moose? technically got the out

[MrTPlush]

So what happens when Moustakas is a total trash heap defensively? Do they eventually move Shaw there and stick him at third?

 

I’m sure there is some analytical reason have Moose at second....but I will wait to see it with my eyes

[Eye Black]

Frustrating that the call was blown, but it shouldn’t have been nearly that close.

[82brewcrew82]

I'm starting to warm to the kimbrel idea

 

He isn't going to help innings 4-8.

Doesn't change my mind.

[yfinn6]

Goldschmidt getting to play 81 games at Miller Park would give you your 5th player to win MVP. Wish we had made that move.

 

No kidding.

[markedman5]

Williams pitching in a tie game is not confidence inspiring

[adambr2]

Feels like every single 50/50 call, whether on the field or balls and strikes, has gone against us tonight.

[topper09er]

good lord, always throw if Molina is running

[MrTPlush]

Uhh Bill. Moustakas can’t make an easy throw to first. Let’s not try to have him make a awful throw to first in hopes they call interference....come on man.

[adambr2]

Goldschmidt getting to play 81 games at Miller Park would give you your 5th player to win MVP. Wish we had made that move.

 

No kidding.

 

Have to think they just didn't want to invest something like 5/130 in him and didn't want to give up much for a 1 year rental.

Moustakas can’t play 2B

[PinaMadness]

So when does Hiura get called up for good?

[Ennder]

I know someone said the opposite earlier but I will disagree, the Cardinals bullpen is their weakness at least to start the year. Martinez is hurt, Reyes hasn't show anything yet and Hicks walks everyone he faces. I like our odds the longer this game goes. Also Moustakas is better than Shaw at 2B regardless of how things have gone today, he moves better and he rotates better on throws. It may be an iffy move but making Shaw the 2B doesn't make it any better.

[topper09er]

Braun and Rodgers won the MVP in 2011

[Eye Black]

Domingo Santana just hit his 3rd HR of the year and already has 10 RBI. His start this season has been something else. I hope we are not going to end up regretting that one.

 

I hope we do...good for him. We could have predicted with the trade and playing time, he'd hit .275/.350 with 25-35 hr. He always reminded me of a Nelson Cruz, only with better performance at a younger age.

I would bet on him to continue having an impressive offensive season given the everyday opportunities. If the NL goes to the DH in the next season or two it will be even easier to lament what could have been.

[sveumrules]

People (incorrectly) wrote off Shaw before he even played an inning at 2B, at least we gave Moose 15 innings.

[HiAndTight]

Moustakas can’t play 2B

 

 

I'd normally wait longer before making such a declaration, but at his age, that move was one I found baffling. It seemed like they brought him back just because he fit in with the team so well(personality wise) and they liked having him here last year. ESPECIALLY now in retrospect, I wish they'd gone after a guy like Ottavino, but I was never a fan of this signing.

 

I still expect him to get better and put up good numbers there...but I'm also of the belief that Hiura will be ready soon than later.

 

 

 

Williams showing something getting out of that little jam that he created.

[topper09er]

Moose got a 3-0 changup, interesting

[Brew crew 92]

So when does Hiura get called up for good?

 

He not coming up til later in year, no rush.

[wildcat83]

I fancy myself a beer man, but what beer is in the ad behind the left handed hitters', behind the plate? I can only make out the Capital "L".

 

Leinenkugels.

 

Made in WI and is a brand of Miller/Coors

[yfinn6]

Goldschmidt is quickly becoming my least favorite player.

[HiAndTight]

I know someone said the opposite earlier but I will disagree, the Cardinals bullpen is their weakness at least to start the year. Martinez is hurt, Reyes hasn't show anything yet and Hicks walks everyone he faces. I like our odds the longer this game goes.

It may be an iffy move but making Shaw the 2B doesn't make it any better.

 

How on EARTH are we making this declaration right now?

 

I don't agree that he moves better than Shaw...but you're talking about poor defense at 2nd either way.

[Brew crew 92]

Great, now we get miller hicks Reyes not necessarily in that order. Ave FB 100

[PinaMadness]

Oh good, Barnes is in.
