2019-08-26: Cardinals (Wainwright) at Brewers (González) [Brewers lose, 12-2]

[Jopal78]

We follow the team too closely to be objective. There’s one pitcher in the rotation that started the year in the rotation and even Davies spent time on the DL. Likewise in the bullpen 3 of the bullpen pitchers from opening day are gone and they’ve cycled through even more since then. Frankly the pitching on this team has been awful and like someone else said, it’s a minor miracle they’ve hung around so long.

Schildt is worse than Maddon and LaRussa combined.

Using Miller and having Carlos Martinez warming up in a 12-2 game?

I mean the pitching change with a 10 run lead with 2 outs in the 9th.

Brewers v Cards still always has that Crusher v Scrap Iron Kadasky feel from the old wrestling days. Scrap will get a punch or two in of course but the Crusher is just going to come alive at smash old scrap in the end. We will look back on that game 7 loss for a long long time and know that was our shot. Hope the bucks don't meet the same fate this coming season.

 

Sorta, but 2011 was really more of our shot. We may have objectively had the best MLB team that year. Last year we definitely didn't.

True but having game 7 at home as well as a very winnable game 5 loss in extra innings makes that one pretty tough to swallow.

Did he really?

 

Yes

[Pugger]

There's just no way to go on any kind of extended run with a pitching staff this bad

 

But it isn't just the pitching. This bunch has problems scoring runs. Yes, there have been a couple of blowout games like tonight but there have been others when the pitching isn't terrible but the offense disappears. If we aren't hitting homers we don't score. It is a minor miracle if we get a hit with a runner in scoring position with less than 2 outs.

Yes

 

I would totally hit jim Edmonds with a pitch today

I think most fans here have come to realize what this team is at this point of the season.
