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

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I just don't see the fascination with Pomeranz.

 

Nothing to write home about, but he's an experienced MLB pitcher who's been good out of the pen in his career.

[Lostpawn]

Thank God. I was terrified.

[Lostpawn]

Random question for you guys. They’ve been showing these commercials for StatCast by AWS, constantly. Have any of you seen the output from this? I always see the commercials, but never a stolen base prediction. Am I missing something?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It kinda bothers me that Tyler Webb is now a solid lefty reliever. He showed absolutely nothing in his short time as a Brewer. Of course the Cardinals find his cheat code.

[Fear The Chorizo]

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

 

If the Brewers' pen is a dumpster fire, the Cubs' is a full-on landfill fire.

 

And that is exactly why being 4 games behind the cubs and cards at this stage has the brewers in contention, no matter how crappy they appear to be playing. Nobody is good enough to run away with it. Get to September in reasonably the same spot in the standings the brewers are now, and I actually like their chances.

 

Win tonight to pull back within 3 and saddle up!

Offense a complete no show again after the 1st.......

Has happened way too often this year. Score early and hibernate.

Short time might be the key phrase there.......anybody can struggle in short bursts.....Brewers gave up on him quickly.....might have needed the roster spot for another player....

[PinaMadness]

And with that I'm off to bed.

But I thought the offense problem was hibernate too long before scoring late...

I'm guessing Cubs try to bring back Castellanos but man he would look pretty great in our lineup next year. Stick him in left with Braun at first. Hope Cain comes back to life with Hiura and suddenly you would be ok against lefties you would think?

[markedman5]

Let's hope they call this game quickly so we can all go to bed.......rain is suppose to be heavy and last through the night

Its in St. Louis. They will re-start this thing at 2:00am...

I hope the Brewers spend their money on pitching........

[treego14]

It's not gonna' stop raining in St. Louis for a long time ... it's an official game ... assuming they cannot play more, do the Brewers get the win?

Yes.

He would be a good fit, but I am also interested in seeing what Grisham can do in a full time role. I think he's being miscast as a platoon guy, as his minors splits against LHP are not significantly worse than against RHP. If he has the chance of being a complete hitter, I think they need to explore that.

[crossface21]

Yes, if they can't continue the game the Brewers win.

[treego14]

Yes.

OK, I wasn't sure ... because we had 8 innings of AB's and they have had only 7 innings of AB's.

Getting up early to play golf tomorrow. Don’t think I’ll wait up to see if they finish and, if they do, how the Brewers give it away.

 

The way things are going they’ll probably start the game, then it will start pouring again and the Brewers will lose trying to throw a slippery ball around. A walk off walk or wild pitch would be appropriate.

I am still fuming mad over that game last year they were forced to play in a ridiculous amount of rain and they blew it even after it was obvious the ball was so wet our pitcher could barely get it to the plate.
