2021-08-18: Brewers (Peralta) at Cardinals (Flaherty) [Brewers win, 6-4 in 10 innings -- Freddy leaves game with shoulder discomfort; Bullpen covers 8 masterful innings as Crew completes comeback in extras]

[trwi7]

Don't care that he's a Cardinal. I want to be Lars Nootbaar's friend.

 

We had a falling out.

[willie key]

Are they going to bat around in the first inning peralta

 

Come on

[adambr2]

At least not out of reach, but not ideal to be down any amount of runs to Flaherty.

[markedman5]

Nothing really hit that hard but Freddy looks a little rusty from the layoff……or he just was a little off in the first inning which can happen.

[82brewcrew82]

That was hit hard

[markedman5]

Ok……officially an off night for Freddy

 

Goldschmidt owns him

[ThisIsMyCrew]

García could’ve had that…gave up to early.

[adambr2]

Just not looking like its going to be our night tonight.

[markedman5]

Freddy falling in love with the breaking ball

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, I think the Brewers will score. If not, though, get the pen a day of rest and keep your 8.5 game lead.

[HarveysWBs]

Cards are probably going to win in a laugher, and Arenado is going to get himself tossed regardless. Unreal.

[BruisedCrew]

Those 3 innings of offense couldn’t have been more anemic.

[markedman5]

That’s not good

[82brewcrew82]

Uh, oh. Looked like he hurt himself on that swing.

[brooks_quichenick]

Panic time

[HarveysWBs]

Ruh roh, Shaggy. Gotta hope he’s back for the postseason.

[BruisedCrew]

Please put DH into the NL next year.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

What did he hurt? Not seeing any replays at the game.

[HarveysWBs]

If any Brewers team has ever been equipped to deal with a CY-caliber pitcher going down in the stretch run, it is this one, but the title chances take a huge hit if he can’t return. Not good.

[adambr2]

Pitchers batting FTW again.

[Patrick425]

I'm not against the DH (could take it or leave it), but we don't know it was because of that swing for certain. Also, why is he taking such a wild hack? We does that a lot and it drives me nuts.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I think maybe Freddy wasn't in A shape coming in? He has just looked off all night

[BruisedCrew]

So, I went into this game thinking that even if the Brewers lost tonight they would have two days off the schedule gaining a game on the Reds and holding even with the Cardinals, so a net gain. I may have to reevaluate that.

[Patrick425]

His velocity was down. Not sure he threw a fastball greater than 93.

[82brewcrew82]

He winced pretty hard after that swing.
