Looks like Waino is finally wearing down.

Senior citizens are usually in bed now.

Pleasantly surprised to see a tie let’s go steal one.

For me Small was always a little suspect and I thought he would play better in a bullpen role. 
 

Frelick I think is the real deal. Ruiz I think could give us a spark with the adjustments he made this year. Some team speed would be really nice to have in all these low scoring close games. Just my 2 cents!

Yelich 1 for 19 with 7 ks

[Sixtolezcano]

And just like clockwork Yelich pounds one into the ground….AGAIN. Sterns biggest mistake.

Did BA really say that the mound visit may be a scouting report on Yelich?

[edfunderburk]

Would love to pull off a win tonight 

So tired of seeing Burnes lose or get no decision despite being dominant in most of his starts

[edfunderburk]

Counsell will show me he is paying attention if he “rests” Yelich tomorrow 

[LouisEly]

Rogers has a nasty slider

I will be surprised if Ruiz pans out

He may provide defense & speed as a base runner & late inning replacement 

Gasser will make or break the Hader trade

I actually believe Hader will implode before his contract expires

Predictably 

[HarryDoyle]

Are Cardinal fans seriously standing up for a Pujols at bat? And with one out?

[willie key]

I’m kinda nervous with rogers out there

They know it’s the biggest game of the season. ?

I feel like if we brought Prince Fielder or a similar guy back at the tail end of his career, and he was PH'ing in a semi-important game in a playoff race, even if he was hitting like .200-ish, people would be standing up to watch.

Good finish to the inning.

I’d take that

[Brewcrew82]

Man, we're just missing some of these. 

[Sixtolezcano]

Devin in the 9th, for sure.

[jason21nl]

Time to get walked off.  At least Burnes doesn’t get hosed with the loss

[willie key]

Oooof.   Big boys up.     Let’s see if devin can handle it

He has now had 1 straight scoreless outing.

And yet his ERA on the season is better than Hader's and his numbers over the last few years are quite comparable...

Of for Pete's sake, he is out.
