Game Thread (4/17/2022): Cardinals (Hudson) at Brewers (Ashby) - 1:10 PM CDT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, runs!

Plural!

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was hilarious. 

[igor67]

That was classy defense. I'll take it

[titletownking]

Nice 3 spot in the inning off 1 hit. Love it. Finally the luck pendulum swings in our favor and against the Cardinals devil magic. 

[DuWayne Steurer]

Come on Kest..... just a medium deep fly ball.  I don't even care if you get a base knock.  Just get that guy in from third!

[HarryDoyle]

Maybe the most entertaining inning of baseball so far.

[homer]

Not sure how that's an error on the SS....

Nice defense Cards. LOL

[homer]

I spy The Doorman

[Eye Black]

Normally I’d say it’s great to have the opposing starter into 50+ pitches by the 2nd inning, but I think it’s in the Brewers best interest to have Hudson out there as long as possible. 

[homer]

Albert back on the juice

[Eye Black]

Wong’s bobble ends up being the difference between a 3-0 versus a 3-3 game. 

[CheezWizHed]

So by Cardinal rules of classiness.  We should be plunking Pujols next time up, right?  He spent a nice long time admiring that hit.  I'm sure Braun is saying...wait a minute...

[JRob1125]

I forgot how much I hated Pujols growing up. 

[Craigilicious]

Giving up a dinger to a 50 year old man, you done messed up A-A-ron

I’m pretty sure the Cardinals unwritten rules only apply to their opponents actions.

You are correct... Sorry, I forgot unwritten rule #1.

[CheezWizHed]

Hmmm... Zero HRs from our OF so far this year. 

[bulldogboy0733]

Not sure how much Cards signed Albert for but I would rather have him than Keston hitting cleanup for the Crew. Easy.

[NBBrewFan]

Watching them face another MLB team makes it seem like the Brewers are a little league team. Maybe the Brewers should have an exhibition inning to begin every home game where they play a local little league team so the fans can see the difference.

[willie key]

The brewers kind a suck

1 year, $2.5 million. 

[HarryDoyle]

I think the offense expended themselves getting those three runs in the first inning.

Might as well sign Zambrano, Molina, Baez, and have LaRussa give baseball etiquette lessons.  Some lines are not meant to be crossed. 

[HarryDoyle]

First time playing baseball, Wong?

[folly412]

Seems "Very rarely do you see Wong" is a phrase happening at least once every game this year.  Is that actually Keston over at second?
