2019-08-21: Brewers (Houser) at Cardinals (Wainwright) [Brewers win, 5-3 in 7.5 innings -- Rain-shortened game]

[brooks_quichenick]

Need some sped up video of that inning with Benny Hill theme playing.

 

That was beyond comical

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Houser pitching like a stud........team lets him down so,he reaches back and punches out a good hitter to end it

 

As far as I'm concerned, he's taken away any question of whether he's got a rotation spot next year. Still a relatively small sample, but he's easily the team's best starter right now.

[TURBO]

I sure hope the Cards rally to tie this game so the IGT will pick up.

 

Maybe all those [sarcasm]bandwagoners[/sarcasm] that said they are done with the season in last night’s IGT are sticking to their word?

 

Team is playing well tonight, which has kept a lot of the complaints at bay. That hasn't happened much lately.

 

That post did NOT age well...lol

[yourout]

I don't think 5 is enough.

[phnxcrew]

For those of us too broke to watch the games, does Houser have more than the usual 1-2 decent pitches? Aka is he the real deal? The scouting reports I'm looking up cost money

[TURBO]

Cards get 4 more at bats...no, 5 is not enough.

[PinaMadness]

I don't think 5 is enough.

With our bullpen? Not even close to enough.

He's proven he can throw his sinker, curve and slider all for strikes, as well as a FB that sits at 94-96, and has been dialed up to 97. He's definitely got the pitch mix to be a solid starter.

Excellent! Thanks for the reply. That makes me less depressed about this year.

[brooks_quichenick]

Woodruff, Houser, Burnes, Peralta... 2 out of 4 ain’t bad. Hopefully Corbin and Freddy can straighten things out next season too

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Shelby Miller spinning a gem tonight for San Antonio. 6 innings (so far), 1 R, 0 ER, 6 Ks.

Bring him up ... the ballpark is already named after him!

LOL ...

 

At least Miller used to be a good ML pitcher. There might be something still there.

 

Shaw with two bombs tonight as well.

[trwi7]

I will buy Hiura a 1st baseman's glove.

[jjgott]

Huh, maybe the team was telling the truth that Hiura needed to work on his defense at AAA to start the season.

[homer]

Phil Bickford is having a helluvan August. Bring him up!

[markedman5]

Hiura had time to stop and underhand it to Arcia to get 1......his decision making is just awful

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Oh man ... defensive miscues are just not being overcome right now.

[jason21nl]

This team is something else

[phnxcrew]

Still hate Molina more than anyone currently playing... the constant stream of horse steroids looks like it has taken a toll on his face though.

[Brewce]

Braun dogging it for the second night in a row. This time it allows Molina to get to second.

[markedman5]

Now they are starting to make solid contact against Houser after all the Miscues.......

 

This how bad teams lose games they should have won easily

[PinaMadness]

Claudio coming in for his 287th appearance this season.

[yourout]

Cards 3 for 4 with RISP

Brewers are 2 for 11 with RISP.

[treego14]

Giants have tied up the Cubs in the top of the 6th ... 7-7.
