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]

[willie key]

What a win

 

Let’s hope the peralta thing is only minor

[markedman5]

Love the way Manny called the game

[Bulldogboy]

All told best win of the year. Lost your starter early. Battling their ace. Incredible win. This team is different.

[Brewermania101]

Ramon De Jesus made Angel Hernandez look like a competent umpire tonight great win

[roadcrew3]

BA does a great job highlighting the small things Pina does to help the pitchers.

[Oxy]

Bury them tomorrow. With 9 more against them they won't be dead yet, but let's make them crawl out of the grave to catch us.

Great Win

 

Avisail the hero and the bullpen was outstanding.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Great win. Comeback. Bullpen carries the load after Peralta leaves early. Capitalized on the Cardinals errors to overcome a mental error in the 10th and a poor strike zone. Continues the excellent road win-loss record. Great win.

 

Hope the Peralta injury is minor.

[igor67]

Gameball to Omar for saying enough was enough and getting tossed in the 9th.

Injury to Freddy not on swing

Injury to Freddy not on swing

 

Felt uncomfortable yesterday? Did he sleep wrong on it or something? I don't know if this makes me feel better or worse.

[Brewermania101]

 

Freddy thinks he will be ok for next start

[82brewcrew82]

 

Injury to Freddy not on swing

Also says he can make his next start, though he probably will (and should) not.

[Bulldogboy]

 

Injury to Freddy not on swing

Well glad to hear him say that but he's going to be missing quite a few I think.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Saw the Freddy quotes from McCalvy and Hardricourt.

 

Guessing IL stint for sure (why not?), but early returns are...good news. Seems like precautionary. Inflammation but something he's been dealing with. I'd let him skip a turn or two.

 

Hope the team is careful, but it is good to hear Freddy express confidence re: his next start.

Yep, good excuse to give Ashby another start or two. Maybe even give Freddy a 10-day IL stint.

Good grief, no. Get Ashby on a plane if he isn’t already. Live today, fight tomorrow, Freddy.

[oldguy]

Freddie says, this is not something that will prevent me from making my next start I know my body.

[markedman5]

Best possible news I think

 

Craig Counsell on Peralta: "His shoulder just wasn't perfect today. He's not concerned. Our trainers are optimistic as well." Clearly, though, Counsell added, they'll be cautious with it and give it some time. Said it wasn't something serious.

[Eye Black]

This game felt like the exact opposite of how so many previous Brewers-Cardinals games have turned out.

[HarveysWBs]

Mature decision to come out. Good call on Peralta’s part. Rest him up now and get him right for the postseason.

 

Glad I was apparently very wrong about my assumption.

Beating the Cardinals is always a nice way to end the day.

[markedman5]

Guys we are 8-1 on this road trip…….I mean seriously….lol

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Have to say, watching the scant division hopes of the Reds and Cardinals get slowly crushed this week has been nice. I bet being a Reds fan over the last month has been excruciatingly frustrating as they weren't able to gain any ground even while scorching hot, and are getting buried now that they've cooled off considerably.

This game felt like the exact opposite of how so many previous Brewers-Cardinals games have turned out.

 

And yet…it’s starting to become the norm in the Counsell era.
