Game Thread (6/23/2022): Cardinals (Hudson) at Brewers (Alexander) - 1:10 PM CDT

Can't believe CC did this in back to back nights with Goldy/Arenado. Unacceptable

[brewers888]

I remember when Counsell had way too quick of a hook. Now he lets these AAAA guys stay in wayyyyyyyy too long.

[Nola Beery]

We need to score 4 or 5 more runs so I can feel almost comfortable. 

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, the Twins managed to play like garbage and pull out a win, let's see the Brewers do the same.

Step one: stop playing like garbage, please.

I have the Twins at 5-1 to win the division.

Wow

[Nola Beery]

whew again

 

[Brewcrew82]

Machado or Goldschmidt for NL MVP? It's very close. Maybe slight edge to Machado right now?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Add-on runs please. It is really crazy how even these teams have been. Am I just terrified of the Cards, or does it seem like the Brewers have been outplayed in the 12 games so far and are lucky to be 5-6?

[Brewcrew82]

People were asking why Adames was sitting yesterday....

He's one of our best, obviously, but he does have a knack for hitting into "clutch" DPs. ?

I was referring to the ankle. He was gimpy coming out of the box, which is how that weak grounder turned into a DP.

Ahh.  I didn't see that on the radio. 

 

[Brewcrew82]

Williams starting to build a case for an all star spot....

[brooks_quichenick]

Devin is so much fun to watch when he's dialed in like this. That changeup is just gross.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Williams was nasty and efficient there. What an awesome inning.

The one upside to injuries to starters is that maybe, just maybe, some of the bullpen pieces have shown big-time promise and effectiveness. The pitching is very deep and will hopefully be fully healthy come October.

One guy who's surprised me lately is Kelley. Was nasty last night and hasn't been scored upon in his last 5 appearances or so. Maybe he doesn't suck? 

[homer]

McCutchen's OPS is 666. Do with that info what you will.

I definitely groaned and questioned CC at the ballpark yesterday when I saw Kelley warming up for the meat of the order, and then he went ahead and dominated for 2 innings. Impressive stuff.

[Brewcrew82]

I might consider bunting here, but CC obviously won't do it. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Make this work out better than in the third, boys. Please.

[Brewcrew82]

Improvement. 

[BruisedCrew]

Time to finally push across some runs against the Cardinal bullpen which has completely shut down the Brewers in this series. 
 

Not a good start from Taylor with the bases loaded. 

[Nola Beery]

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle. Just make some contact!  If we're gonna have a DP it should at least come with no outs so a run will score. (I know this is a batter late.)

Way to slide.
