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

[OldHeidelberg]

Nice bounce back to win series after that depressing opener. 5-4 with tough early schedule, hopefully the hitters can keep it going now that they have showed some life.

[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.

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.

 

My point was, oftentimes, a multiple walk day can indeed be a precursor to a decent run at the plate as you seemed to be suggesting. One walk and one intentional in an otherwise 0-3 day, not so much. I think we’d both like him to be more than futile at the plate, which he’s been so far.

 

Anyways, great win and series victory. Go Crew!

First time above .500 since 2019! Let’s go streaking!

Most important thing, Yelich and Shaw are fine. Both day to day and could be back in the lineup tomorrow.

Actually game 1 of the season.

The Cubs are currently 4-5 and they've already played 6 against the pirates. That's a massive yikes for them. Whoever replaced theo after he left that dumpster fire he created is probably already weighing trade offers for bryant...

Great road trip for the Crew Outstanding Pitching and the bats woke up. I have to think Yardley job is not very secured at this point.

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

 

We still don’t know if burnes is ready for the bright lights,

The chubs are going to be big-time sellers this deadline. Time for that mess to be torn down.

Sometimes I have a difficult time counting that high...

Wait, wasn't it Coach Cooper? Not Coach Carter...

[FVBrewerFan]

Coach Cooper. He could coach circles around any of the current MLB managers. Never got a shot though because he "didn't play by the rules"

Yup, Coach Cooper had his own set of rules, and you either followed them, or you hit the road.....bub.

[NYChez]

Winning back to back series vs Cubs and cardinals.

 

Is good. I approve

This is the franchise’s best moment since the top of the 8th inning on October 1, 2019, 558 days ago.

Well ****, what's he gonna do to me since I called him Coach Carter?

You're 100% right, I only first posted this because I thought he had 3 walks which would have been slightly more impressive but I was wrong. The time delay on my ATT TV app fooled me.
