2019-08-20: Brewers (González) at Cardinals (Wacha) [Brewers lose, 9-4]

[Eye Black]

 

 

Gio González: Batter (Cardinals) vs Pitching Stats

 

Michael Wacha: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

With the exception of Matt Carpenter the Cardinals hitters have performed very well against Gio González in past outings (>1.000 OPS in 148 plate appearances if you remove Carpenter). Even with Carpenter’s abysmal 2 for 21 against Gio the current Cardinals lineup still carries a .996 OPS in those 169 plate appearances.

 

Michael Wacha on the other hand has held current Brewers hitters to a .638 OPS over a 140 plate appearances. Wacha is struggling this year so hopefully today is the day the Brewers breakthrough against him.

On this day last year, the Brewers began their 27-10 run that culminated with a division title on Oct 1

Sitting moose vs a righy, something happen last night?

Moose 2-18 vs Wacha. Not sure if that's the reason or not though.

[treego14]

Time for Cain to inflict some pain!

Time for Grandy to be more than a one-hit dandy!

Time for Yeller to be a killer!

Time for ole’ Kest to resume being the rookies’ best!

Time for Ryan to get Cards’ fans a’cryin’!

Time for Eric to be terrific!

Time for HP to make us Brewers’ fans happy!

Time for Orlando to be a hitting tornado!

Time for GG to throw that BB like CC!

[FVBrewerFan]

No offense treego, but I rather read more posts about canning Stearns. If it worked last night I might feel differently.

Mark A has no plan to put The Brain in the can!

I still feel pretty good about Gio tonight although the numbers certainly indicate otherwise.

I feel like finding a way to get Perez in there is the reason

[stoutdude04]

Looking forward to being no hit today!

[treego14]

Looking forward to being no hit today!

Thank you, Cardinals Fan!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

You know, I think we are going to win tonight. Go Brewers!

[TURBO]

Too much line-up tinkering.

 

Too many times we have some of our best 8 hitters on the bench.

 

I give up trying to figure out what CC is trying to do.

 

Let them play!

[markedman5]

Right handed hitters have destroyed Wacha this season......that is why the Perez is in over Moose......I'm sure....

 

But clearly we used up all off our hits on Saturday and Sunday........so really doesn't seem to matter.

 

1 hit in 11 innings.......

[stoutdude04]

Looking forward to being no hit today!

Thank you, Cardinals Fan!

 

Ha!

 

Reverse jinx. Let's score Arcia now! Oh. He didnt walk on ball 4...okay!

 

Edit: ump doing well tonight.

[jason21nl]

Stay hot blue

[yourout]

Judging by GameTracker the plate umpire is not off to a good start.

[adambr2]

Gio and Wacha working with two entirely different strike zones today. But I'd expect nothing less from an MLB umpire.

[yourout]

I still say the single biggest Improvement they could make to the game right now would be to automate the strike zone

[treego14]

Braun looking shoddy on that hit by Bader!

[markedman5]

Looked like Braun could have caught that ball

[TURBO]

There are times that Mr. Braun looks so clueless in the outfield.

[brooks_quichenick]

Braun appeared to give up on that when he got close to the wall. Still, bad pitch from Gio
