2021-08-17: Brewers (Burnes) at Cardinals (Wainwright) [Brewers win, 2-0]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yelich just looks like a totally different guy with men on base.

 

He's showing signs. Sort of feel like one big hit might unlock something.

Lots of left ducks on the pond

[Eye Black]

Would’ve been nice to scratch across an insurance run. I have confidence in the bullpen, but I’ve also seen this devil magic show one too many times.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Went the other way nicely on a pitch like that last AB after getting on one looking the previous one.

 

That was was just too far out...make it easy, Devin. Please?

[jjfanec]

16 base runners and just 2 runs. Wow

[Eye Black]

Williams pitching in his hometown in a huge situation. Come on Devin!

[willie key]

This seems like a turning point if brewers hold on tonight

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Sometimes I think Williams is a little too reluctant on that fastball.

[Eye Black]

Doesn’t look like Edman is picking up Williams’ changeup at all.

[Eye Black]

Devin Williams didn’t look completely right earlier this season… But more recently he seems a lot like the pitcher we watched in 2020 is back on the mound.

[HarveysWBs]

Heart skipped a smidge on that one hopper to Tellez after five-pumping it, Adames, but got the out. Whew.

[PinaMadness]

I sure would feel better with at least one insurance run, alot better with two. Too many squandered opportunities tonight to let the Cards hang around like this.

[phnxcrew]

Please get a run. Please throw your slider, hader. Let’s go!

[homer]

Boxberger, Williams, Hader is a pretty good 7,8,9

[Eye Black]

Heart skipped a smidge on that one hopper to Tellez after five-pumping it, Adames, but got the out. Whew.

I was about to type the same thing about my heart skipping a beat. That was way too close to disaster for what should’ve been the easiest throw of the night.

[adambr2]

He's out.

[PinaMadness]

I hope Hader has it tonight. This will be a hard one to swallow if he doesn't. This game shouldn't be this close.

[phnxcrew]

Great play by o’Neil. As doc Holliday says, “now I really hate him”

[Eye Black]

Brewers have outhit the Cardinals 14-4 tonight. Hopefully the rest of the series they have more to show for it on nights with 14 hits (and 17 hitters reaching base).

[LouisEly]

Great play by o’Neil. As doc Holliday says, “now I really hate him”

And at the plate it seems like he gets a bat on every pitch and has 10-pitch ABs.

 

Would not be shocked if he leads the majors in pitches/AB.

[HarveysWBs]

Location leaving much to be desired here. Playing with fire.

 

EDIT: Then again, nice backwards K.

[rickh150]

One more…

[homer]

Sorry Bader. No big boy hit for you.

[HarveysWBs]

Good job, pitching staff.

[rickh150]

Yes!!!!
