Keston Hiura for the 9th. Let's see if he can protect this lead.

[willie key]

Well this game is fun

 

too bad suter didn’t pitch in this game instead of last night 

[jason21nl]

Batting around with nobody out is impressive

[nate82]

Well that is good for the run differential.

[CdrbrgMark]

 What's with Angel, his calls have been spot-on the last few innings.

[DuWayne Steurer]

45 pitches without retiring a batter.  ouch

[jason21nl]

This guys arm is going to fall off

This feels more like Brewers-Pirates.  Last night didn't have that feeling!

 

More like boat racing.

[folly412]

He was just getting warmed up.  Good to go the 9th.

[DuWayne Steurer]

almost 60 pitches in one inning.  Just crazy.  DL tomorrow.

[willie key]

56 pitches in one inning.    

[JRob1125]

I think 56 pitches in an inning is more than worthy of having a new manager. He could get fired immediately after the last out and I wouldn't be shocked

Yeah I don't understand why you would leave a pitcher out to dry like that.  I am the last person in the world to advocate for using a position player to pitch but if you don't have anyone else and you're down 16, that would seem to be the time to do it.

[Brewcrew82]

Trevor Kelley is not good.

This guy should be in the minors.

He should be in a beer league.

We're leading by 16 runs, but still, this Kelley dude needs to be gone from MLB...

Exactly my thinking 

So irresponsible

As I said last week - I’d rather play with 25 on the roster 

I was bummed when I saw he was recalled to replace Houser

What am I missing?

 

[SomewhereInTime]

That's pretty disrespectful to put a position player on the mound with a lead.

If the Cardinals can do it then there is no problem.  The Cardinals are the gatekeepers of what is right in baseball!!!!!

[folly412]

Brosseau > Kelley.

Might as well when you've got Brosseau doing his best Ohtani impression. 

[Jim French Stepstool]

All I'll say is that's a lot of pressure to put on Brosseau, asking him to have to get four outs in the ninth.
