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

[Brewcrew82]

Goldschmidt and Arenado at-bats are going to be nerve-racking this weekend. 

[Brewcrew82]

Of course. 

[HarryDoyle]

And so it begins.

[BruisedCrew]

Could see that coming a mile away with Lauer struggling with command. 

[Brewcrew82]

Can't leave it there Lauer. 

[NBBrewFan]

Meatball sub with extra protein

[yourout]

This lineup is a bad matchup for Lauer.

[Brewcrew82]

Goldschmidt and Arenado will get theirs. You just can't let others in their lineup do damage. 

[JefferyLeonard]

I meant to say this before the game started, but what the hell is Counsell doing not lining up Burnes, Woodruff and Freddie to pitch this series?? Instead we get Lauer and Ashby. What could possibly go wrong?? Great job Couns! ?

[willie key]

We are going to get our rear ends kicked this weekend

ooof.

Sometimes that all it takes

You want Woody and Freddy pitching on reduced rest after recent injuries? The games after this series matter, too...

[NBBrewFan]

Well the good news is we'll get to those RH relievers sooner than later with a 27 pitch 1st inning.

Solo shots are fine. It's the walk to Carlson and near-walk to O'Neill that are the killers.  

[jason21nl]

IMO the Cardinals are just a better team.  I hope I’m wrong but I feel this is the weekend we get buried.  

[Brewcrew82]

Time to answer back.

[Ulice Payne]

Still early.  Plenty of time for them to come back

No, you line it up during the all star break. They had enough days off lately they could have shuffled things around accordingly if need be.

Okay, but then you have those guys going up against a better team in the Dodgers...

I'd rather have them against a division rival.

[Brewcrew82]

Sheesh. Nothing you can do about some of these line-outs. 

[mtsportsfan]

Urias and the upper cut swing . to bad out hitting coaches can't fix that ! Just swing for the fences !

Of course you'd like it. But rotation shufflings are a very delicate thing especially when you have guys coming off injury.

What makes you think they don't like it?
