2019-03-31: Cardinals (Wacha) at Brewers (Burnes) [Yelich’s 4th HR in 4 games; Burnes records 12 K’s; Comeback walk-off win on Yelich double]

[pacopete4]

This would be a great game to steal early in the season.

[MrTPlush]

Aguilar too good of hitter to not hit

 

Yah his approach is pretty decent all things considered. Even at his worst last year he was sporting a .750 OPS each month. That isn’t really stellar for a 1B, but I don’t see him being a black hole. Average would be a pretty good way to explain my expectation. Maybe a bit worse with defense included.

You can sneeze and miss an Hernan Perez AB.

The Cardinals leaving the lefty in to face Perez tells you everything you need to know about how they respect Perez.

[pacopete4]

I haven't found the same hatred for the new(er) manager of the Cardinals. It's bothering me.

[OldHeidelberg]

I was actually expecting aguilar to come through there, he seemed to have a couple of good cuts and he's one of those guys who you can tell when he has a good bead on a pitcher. Then he swung at a pitch at eye level and let him off the hook. Frustrating.

Be patient...it's coming.

[adambr2]

Yasmani needs to hit. We had defense covered already.

Agree with the fact that if I was going to criticize Aguilar that last at bat versus Miller wouldn’t be it. He just missed a couple of pitches he was on.

[pacopete4]

How bad would Molina have to hit to be replaced?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

In a vacuum, Barnes' stuff looks so good. Then he grooves one at 94.

I would have totally agreed with that up until that last swing.

[Brew crew 92]

I’m sorry but Barnes cutter not fooling anyone. Miller park sun/shadows are.

[adambr2]

Go away Wong.

[phnxcrew]

Go away Wong.

 

Wong and Bader are like the gnomes the cubs had (theriot and other turd). Just annoying and turd-like.

[Brew crew 92]

Simple fix: Barnes down-Brown up

 

Simple fix: Barnes down-fields up

Go away Wong.

 

Looks like you might get your wish.

[pacopete4]

Pina Grandal not quite locked in with his throwing yet.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not a good throw there by Grandal. Wong's ear kept it from going into right-center.

[MrTPlush]

I am amazed the C-flap is so popular after essentially one mishap...yes a two ear flap helmet is like foreign language even though there are problems every single year.

[pacopete4]

Pitch Barnes in day games at Miller Park. Problem solved.

[John Jahahaha]

could sure use some walkoff magic after that Bucks game

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, Gamel, Cain, Yelich, Braun. Not a bad group to have up here.
