Now that we have clinched, the frustrating failure to beat the dirty birds is almost comical, but not quite. Better luck (and playing) tonight.

[TURBO]

Fearless prediction:

 

Houser will shut the Cards down for 6 solid innings.

 

BREWERS WIN!

[young guns]

Now that both teams have nothing left to play for, we stand a better chance at least.

[PinaMadness]

At least we have our Cardinal killer on the mound so the streak ends tonight.

I’m not sure where the spot to talk about this is, but what an unbelievably selfish, immature and quite frankly idiotic thing Devin Williams did. Last year he was unavailable for the playoffs and it appears that will be the case this year as well. Thankfully our starting pitching depth will help the pen but the pressure on Hader is now even greater.

Pressure on Hader is the same….hold the lead in the 9th.

 

The added pressure goes to whomever gets slotted into the 7th or 8th inning spot now that Devin is not available.

Un. Believe. Able

 

 

I just saw the story. That is a massive loss. Completely changes the whole bullpen

 

 

Maybe a houser or lauer can become a bullpen replacement.

[BruisedCrew]

It’s the battle of the Sunday lineups today.

 

At least Adames is back in, hopefully confirming that his scratch yesterday was nothing serious.

If the Brewers will ever use Hader more than 1 inning again feel like this is the time given the Williams news. Interested to see if we see Josh come in for an out in the 8th then go back out for the 9th just to get the feel for pitching, sitting, then getting back up again. Giving him a couple test runs of this ahead of next week would make sense, if they have any plans to throw him more than 3 outs.

[TURBO]

Hader pitching 2 innings probably means no Hader for 2-3 days after an appearance...

 

yuk

 

Williams is an idiot.

Should only be done in a series clinching game. Like Turbo said, if they use Hader for more than an inning, he may not be available for multiple days.

I would’ve suggested not walking Matt Carpenter on four pitches in that situation.

 

EDIT: What do I know!

Cleanup hitter must be respected

[willie key]

Not much action on igt. We must be getting killed

[magnoliacrew]

I like this business of Yelich getting hits and on base, etc

[TURBO]

VOGELBOMB!

Game is moving fast tonight. Alright Vogelbach!

 

While this game is meaningless, I’d certainly like to end the Cards streak tonight so we don’t have to hear about it anymore.

[folly412]

VogelBOMB! The streak ends tonight.

This has been a

 

 

I was literally no joke typing how this has been a boring game and Voglebach goes deep

[bensheeps]

VOGEL-BOMB!

 

Still believe he can play a big role in the playoffs

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

VOGEL-BOMB!

 

Still believe he can play a big role in the playoffs

 

Yeah, Rowdy and Vogelbach both have something to play for for sure. As do Bradley and a good part of the bullpen.

Can he pitch the 8th innings

[Eye Black]

I know the Cardinals have been otherworldly lately, but I won’t be surprised if they get blown out in the Wild Card game. It feels like they’ve already cashed in too much devil magic just to get to this point.
