There are complications so he’s staying back in Milwaukee to be with his wife.

Tuning in late. What happened to renfroe?

His hammy tightened up I guess.

Incredible play by JC

[Brewcrew82]

Tip your cap to Cronenworth.

[mtrebs]

Hurts to not score with bases loaded and no outs, but that was one hell of a play. 

[bulldogboy0733]

Looking on the field right now it is going to be a tough go if Renfro is out. Peterson Cain Omar all in the same lineup. No Willy and Renfro and lefties on deck. No buneo.

Not sure Brosseau would have made that play

Cronenworth is a true utility infielder 

[Brewcrew82]

Quick ground ball outs from Houser sure are a beautiful sight.

Cronenworth was an All Star with a 122 OPS+ and 4.8 WAR last year.

Brosseau is a true utility infielder.

Ball four to Urias gets called a strike. That hurts, a leadoff walk with Martinez on the ropes a bit and a climbing pitch count would’ve been great.

You & I both know Cronenworth wasn’t an All-Star SS 

He has the ability to play all the infield positions well - that is the definition of utility 

Brosseau can play 3B, 2B, & a little emergency 1B

[Brewcrew82]

Official scorer at Petco working hard to get Grisham's OPS above .500...

[CdrbrgMark]

So where's Hiura? CC hasn't used him for R or LHP lately, altho he's supposedly better against the righties. What a waste of a roster spot.

Houser has settled in very nicely since long 1st inning. Yelich seems back to his usual infield ground outs, altho he just got a single. Lots of Brewers LOB, as per usual.

[Eye Black]

Taylor hopefully heating up. He’s now gone 7-for-16 with a double and two home runs in his last 16 plate appearances. Also, just one strikeout over that stretch.

[Brewcrew82]

Sheesh, Cronenworth doing his best Dansby Swanson impression...

[Brewcrew82]

Beautiful job from Houser tonight going 6 innings, especially after Freddy's shortened start yesterday. Best #5 starter in the game, I'd say...

[stoutdude04]

Cards 10th tonight. K, k, BB, BB, grand slam. Roller coaster for their fans.

[Guest]

The more I watch the replay of that bunt, the more I think Boxberger should have like, picked up the ball and thrown Grisham out at first...

[Eye Black]

This feels like one of those nights where a couple of missed opportunities is going to prove costly. 

[Brewcrew82]

Good god. Please don't load the bases for Machado. 

[Brewcrew82]

Huge and I mean HUGE bullet dodged right there...

[CdrbrgMark]

Of course Keston up against a LHP, what else would CC do? 3 pitch strikeout, what a surprise!!

Yea, and maybe the toughest lefty in the league from another team too.

[CdrbrgMark]

I thought the auto runner at 2nd base in overtime was eliminated this year, or isn't it until next year?
