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]

[HarveysWBs]

Eeesh, right shoulder discomfort. Sophia Minnaert delivers the news with a very muted tone. I think the trainers are concerned.

Right shoulder discomfort

 

Well that is not good at all.

[82brewcrew82]

Now we have news and we can all worry about what the news means

[Bulldogboy]

JBJ man.... Why would we ever throw away 4abs in a game??

Gotta keep old man Cain in good shape for October.

[pacopete4]

In the last couple of weeks there hasn't been much difference between Cain or JBJ.

Play Taylor. He can run into one every so often. JBJ is defensive replacement at this point.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I really think something was up with Freddy before that AB. His velo seemed down a bit. Looked really irritable with Chris Hook during mound meetings. Just not himself.

 

Still hoping it's just a precaution, something a skipped start or two could take care of.

If he swings at that pitch he probably strikes out and then everybody ….probably including Rock….is saying “ you can’t swing at that pitch”

 

This is exactly right...I hate the "it was too close to take" expression for big league players. It's not little league where anything close is a strike, there is a clear strike zone and the umps are paid a lot of money to call it right and the ump here missed it. Yelich isn't doing anything productive by swinging at that pitch

[Bulldogboy]

Freddy had seven days off before this start so we can't say the brewers didn't take care of him. Just tough news for sure. Changes everything if he's out.

[markedman5]

Bradley has been worse against righties then lefties this season……amazing

[roadcrew3]

Shoulder discomfort is certainly better than elbow discomfort.

 

Cautiously optimistic that this is just the late season fatigue. A few week shut down isn't worst case scenario here if it leads to a fresh Freddy come October

Or oblique discomfort for that matter. He clearly winced on that swing. I bet this ends up being more precautionary and a reason to save some innings as much as anything.

[82brewcrew82]

Molina looks like a murderous clown when he laughs.

[BruisedCrew]

NM.

[jjfanec]

Bullpen doing great work so far.

[oldguy]

I agree you invest millions of dollars in these guys to pitch and for them to get hurt swinging the bat is ridiculous. There’s nothing more boring than watching pitchers try to hit.

[82brewcrew82]

Suter is gettin a win tonight.

[82brewcrew82]

Time for the Yelich redemption tour to begin.

Maybe later.

Again, I not a never DH in NL guy, but if Peralta hurt his shoulder swinging the bat, I think it was just a matter of time before he got hurt throwing a baseball. His velocity was down tonight.

[adambr2]

Just a lame chopper. So many chances for a signature moment again for Yelich but they never happen.

Maybe you’re right about his injury bound to happen anyway. But I stand by what I said with the DH the games are long and boring and to take every ninth out and say it’s a waste of time that’s not smart in my book.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Take your walk there, Omar.

 

Hopefully that's it for Flaherty.
