Game Thread (6/20/2022): Cardinals (Mikolas) at Brewers (Burnes) - 7:10 PM CDT

[Eye Black]

[magnoliacrew]

Pessimism - Mikolas took a no-hitter into the 9th against Pittsburgh on 6/14

Optimism - The Brewers got 9 hits and 6 earned runs off Mikolas on 5/29

[markedman5]

And Mikolas threw 129 pitches……..sometimes the next start after a high pitch count doesn’t go well……

It  ought to be a barn-burner!* 

Wish I were there. 

 

* I do not know the origin of 'barn burner' as meaning something very exciting.

I hate playing the cardinals

 

 just tell me the score tomorrow morning.      Let’s hope hader is ready to go.     It’s like our past seasons hinged on either choking a big lead in the ninth or stealing a couple of games in the ninth from the cards

The best baseball watching experience of the season is watching them beat the Cardinals, the worst is watching them lose to the Cardinals.  Lets win this game and take back 1st, then the series, Burnes looks sharp already.

So all I'm getting is a black screen on FS1 and Bally Sports Wisconsin.

*Jake Peralta cool, cool, cool gif*

[LouisEly]

FS1 works for me, but I'm not in Wisconsin.

Usually this is me, but I haven’t been able to watch a game for a week so I’ll struggle through this one.  

on another note, imagine a hitter on our team hitting .344 at this point In the season.  I can’t even remember what a good hitter feels like

[yourout]

Burnes pitch counts have really limited his starts this year.

The nibbling on the corners needs to stop.   Especially against crappy hitters.

Amy is in mid season form.

Yeah I can’t help but watch Goldschmidt, Machado, and Harper against the Brewers recently and think if the Brewers high dollar player in Yelich hit anything like those guys how good this team would be.

Someone was talking about pitch counts?

Yeah, he needs more 7 pitch innings like the last, I was worried about that count myself in the 2nd.

[Brewcrew82]

Some close calls with our hitters. Keep it up. 

[Brewcrew82]

Ughh Edman...

[yourout]

I very much would like to see a base hit.

True.  I never had her figure even when I was young.  lol

I think Willy could made it.

You have to take a shot on that with a man on 3rd and 1 out in a pitcher's dual. Come ON.
