2021-05-12: Cardinals (Gant) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 4-1 -- Woodruff outstanding once again; Vogelbach reaching on a 2-out strikeout sparks rally; Garcia hits massive 442ft bomb]

[BruisedCrew]

So, the Brewers score a run in the last of the 6th to break a 0-0 tie.

 

Where have we seen this movie before?

[Bulldogboy]

Glad Bader gave us a run before JBJ stepped up and set more of Mark A's money on fire.

How often do you think he has passed by Stearns office and said why did you talk me into that again?? So strsnge that a guy who was on the street during spring training ends up getting the hammer of the option. It is malpractice.

[Bulldogboy]

Hader and Williams are going to have to pitch about 80 games a piece with this offense. No way they are going to blow anybody out. Every win is going to be 2-1. They are going to need 5 more bullpen pieces.

Or Stearns was told by Mark A to sign a FA and brought up JBJ. Who knows. I didn't like it at the time and have never really liked it, even though he hits the ball hard.

[markedman5]

Just nasty

[adambr2]

It makes me want to cry that we finally have 2, debatably 3 ace type pitchers and we now have one of the worst offenses in baseball and waste the efforts of said pitchers.

[folly412]

Yet another 7 inning, 1 hit start from our staff. Unreal.

[adambr2]

This umpire is just horrific. I honestly cannot believe that the job production of some of these guys couldn't be replaced by some random baseball fan with no noticeable difference.

Arcia has 5 dingers in 7 games in AAA.

 

Will be interesting to see if the braves have a hitting coach capable of turning him into a serviceable Big League bat.

[Bulldogboy]

Whatever happens this year the emergence of Woodruff Burnes and Peralta is a huge boost to the future of the organization. Now if only the star outfielder would live up to his contract and things are looking up.

[Patrick425]

Wish there was a blur feature for everything behind home plate.

 

Edit....everything behind the umpire.

Front row Amy included? I assume she'll be back at some point.

[yourout]

Well so much for that.

[brooks_quichenick]

Amazing. Starters have to be absolutely perfect to get a win

[markedman5]

Figures…..easy fly out anywhere else

[trwi7]

First pitch after he says looking like a good move to leave Woodruff in instead of going to a pinch hitter, it's a tie game. I would've made the same move to be clear but what a jinx.

[jason21nl]

Of freaking course. Screw this team.

[yourout]

Now we'll have a stolen base and a bloop single and another loss

Well, one that I could turn on or off. Definitely would be on for this game.

[Bulldogboy]

You can't ask these guys to pitch under this kind of stress night after night. Setting up to get Cardinaled again.

[adambr2]

And he won't be able to even get the win despite an amazing performance because of this absolute train wreck offense on this team.

[Eye Black]

Tonight’s home plate ump, John Libka, is typically a very good ball/strike umpire. He had an incredible game in his last time behind the plate: LINK

[yourout]

Out but safe...

[trwi7]

He looked clearly out.
