2021-09-26: Mets (Carrasco) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 8-4 -- Crew captures NL Central Division Championship]

[HarveysWBs]

It's innings like that, that make me appreciate the Brewers' defense.

I largely agree with this sentiment, but Urías is more than capable of uncorking some horrendous throws.

Why did CC have Lauer pitch run there?

Because Vogey is the slowest player in all of baseball

Why did CC have Lauer pitch run there?

We needed insurance runs, and having Barrel Man on the bases was probably not conducive to that.

I understand why CC had a pitch runner for Vogey but why Lauer instead of a position player?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Come on. Sticking the elbow out is the worst. Either change the rule or enforce it.

Only the sixth inning, why waste another position player there.

I guess Lauer is pretty fast, they said he was a WR

[Pugger]

Laur was a WR? Wow. I guess I don't want him to get hurt running the bases out there.

Heuer in again for the Cubs to save the game for the Cards for the second day in a row.

[Pugger]

Man, our opponents are getting a few bloops.lately...

Do the Cubs hate us more than they hate the Cards now, or is there really no better option in their pen? No matter—let’s just finish it right here.

[owbc]

Honestly I’m looking forward to wrapping this up on our own terms. And then we can go end the Cards’ win streak with nothing to lose.

[Underachiever]

Cards go walk, bunt single, sacrifice, IBB, WP, tapper to pitcher mishandled. Voila! 4-2

Who needs exit velocity when you have voodoo?

Only drama left for the NL this week is Giants-Dodgers and Atlanta - Philly.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I mean, the fact that a 16-game September win-streak, including 4 against the team in front of you, still leaves you a week out of first with a week to go shows how bad you were from April to August.

[BruisedCrew]

Cards with 2 runs in so far and the ball hasn’t left the infield yet.

 

A variety of bunts, infield grounders, walks (some intentional) and a wild pitch did the trick.

Not sure that’s reassuring. How any team played in April has no bearing on right now.

[Vgmastr]

Williams warming up, that's good news

[DuWayne Steurer]

any other player would get a nice ovation from the miller park crowd.

[Underachiever]

Bradley takes an 0-2 pitch in the dirt. Progress.

 

Now two of them!

[Eye Black]

If a small blue wristband on Williams’ glove hand bothers hitters then no wonder the Mets can’t hit, they’re looking at the wrong thing!

[BruisedCrew]

Good to see Williams back in action with a clean inning.

 

Does Hader come in for the third day in a row?

 

Or give Strickland a shot? Don’t want to mess around.
