Game Thread (8/12/2022): Brewers (Lauer) at Cardinals (Montgomery) - 7:15 PM CDT

The Brewers have pulled within 0.5 games of the division lead entering a stretch now where they have 10 of their next 13 games against the Cardinals and Dodgers. Who ever wins the series in St. Louis this weekend will be leading the division on Monday. 

[willie key]

I’ve been hearing all year that the brewers are better than the cardinals.     Maybe they should prove it this weekend 

[Underachiever]

Can they just not pitch to Goldschmidt, please?

Hard to do that when you have the MVP co-favorite in Arenado hitting behind him...

Fyi...Packers/49ers game is on regular NBC Spectrum chanel 2 tonite. Jordan Love is QBing.

[NBBrewFan]

Of Course the first game has to be against a LH with a heartbeat.  Not a good start to the series.

I do not care.  The NFL could go away tomorrow and I wouldn't even miss it.  I haven't watched a full game in about 10-years now and don't really plan on watching one anytime soon.  I find the NFL to be rather boring now.

Thought I read they just picked up 2 new LHP's at the trade deadline this year. I think Montgomery is 1 of them, Quintana the other. Quintana had a stellar 1st Cards start on Thursday.

Who said they were?  But I would be less bored watching the Brewers than watching TV ads errrrr NFL games.  And we are back to the game 5-minutes later now back to the commercials! Oh wait the ref's are talking about something back to commercial! Wait now the NFL is deciding if another commercial is needed back to commercial.  Now back to the game and you guessed it back to commercial!  2 and half hours of commercials and about 30-45 minutes of game played.  BORING!

Wait until you get a load of preseason football

You will have to let me know how that goes as I won't be watching.

Hiura starting vs a lefty again tonight. I like it. Give him a chance to hit him, and the righty relief pitcher who follows.

 

Didn't Hiura just go yard against a lefty starter a couple games ago?

Yep. Against Lodolo from the Reds. 

[wallus]

Yes we all agree pre-season football is unwatchable now.

[Brewcrew82]

HR-based approach is tough at Busch Stadium...

[willie key]

If only Ryan Braun could come back just for cardinals games

[NBBrewFan]

Yeah it's always good to walk batters before Goldschmidt and Arenado.

[folly412]

No robots!

[BruisedCrew]

What a break on that strike call.
