2021-04-11: Brewers (Anderson) at Cardinals (Ponce de Leon) [Brewers win, 9-3 -- Offense scores 7 runs in the first two innings]

[Sir Illo]

Urias benefits from Cardinals pitchers inability to throw a strike for a 3rd time. Can someone walk their way out of a hitting slump? I hope so.

 

I take it back, box score briefly showed 3 walks but it's only 2 for Urias.

 

First walk for Urías was an IBB to bring the pitcher to the plate.

[pacopete4]

Vogelbach has that John Goodman, Babe Ruth swing.

[Outlander]

Stinks that Vogelbach had two balls called strikes and was forced to swing at the third strike outside the zone.

[Underachiever]

Biggest problem is we needed to tack on a run or two here and there. Can't just get to 7 early and think we are done. Multiple times the cards have been one at bat away from making this a 1 run game.

That has seemed to be a fairly common issue over the past two seasons before this one. Might be somewhat anecdotal, but I recall numerous in-game threads with that same complaint about not tacking on runs after scoring a few early inning runs.

Search "pour it on" to find those.

Or ask Coach Carter.

I know but Ponce de Leon was wild too which got him into trouble in the first place. That was more my thought on that.

[TURBO]

Coach Carter was definately a fan of "pouring it on," especially against teams that were "not ready for the bright lights" yet.

[PinaMadness]

MVPINA!!!

[sveumrules]

Did someone say "pour it on"?

[SeaBass]

Pineapple with the add on runs!

[folly412]

Good day for Pineapple.

[KeithStone53151]

Hey, tack on runs. I like it

[pacopete4]

We have the best catching duo in the majors.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Great game for Piña! Catcher tandem looking good to start 2021.

[B-Train]

The Crew really putting the Cards pitching staff through the wringer this weekend.

[markedman5]

Pineapple power!

[CheezWizHed]

Now we need to bat around so Pina can get a triple!

[folly412]

Rasmussen pitching for his 26-man spot here.

[OldHeidelberg]

Pina sporting the 1.033 OPS. Not bad

[HarveysWBs]

By pouring it on and not allowing the Cardinals to come back, I think we are in serious danger of not playing the game The Cardinal Way©. I love it.

[homer]

Pina sporting the 1.033 OPS. Not bad

 

Someday he might catch up to Narvaez.

[Eye Black]

Brewers not only have a winning record (5-4), but [sarcasm]even more importantly[/sarcasm] they now have a +5 run differential on the season!

[folly412]

Spot preserved.

[CheezWizHed]

Pina sporting the 1.033 OPS. Not bad

 

Someday he might catch up to Narvaez.

 

[sarcasm]Could one of them play short or 2B?[/sarcasm]

[HarveysWBs]

Brewers not have only a winning record (5-4), but [sarcasm]even more importantly[/sarcasm] they now have a +5 run differential on the season!

The Pineapple has your Pythagorean record right here!

[willie key]

Winning back to back series vs Cubs and cardinals.

 

Is good. I approve
