Ugh ... Another left starter.

Poor Burnes.

[CdrbrgMark]

Jeez, Keston playing 1B against a LHP. I give up complaining about it, it doesn't do any good anyways.

[Sixtolezcano]

Surprise surprise. Another Yelich strikeout to start the game.

There's your run Corbin, now pitch perfectly and the Brewers can win.

Who else is gonna start there? You really don't want Rowdy facing lefties. It's stupid that Keston has such pronounced reverse splits, but someone has to play 1B vs. lefty pitchers.

[Simba2020]

Really getting sick of BA saying stupid things. Yeah, Keston mashed lefties his first two years. Right.

[Pugger]

It will be a minor miracle if we can split this series.  I'm not going to hold my breath however...

[Brewin]

I'm sure Sixto will compliment Yelich for coming back from 0-2 to a clean single to RF......

[Simba2020]

McCutchen can actually hit lefties after all.

Silence is its own reward

[Outlander]

This is the lefty masher we thought the Brewers would be getting with McCutchen.

That’s a team that is doing what they need to do.   Not getting excited  if the play well enough to stay close in a game 

[edfunderburk]

Brewers have to hope the Phillies or Padres tumble

The Cardinals have a fairly easy schedule to close out the year & they are coming together for the home stretch

I disdain … despise … hate the Cards - but I believe they are a better “team” than my beloved Brewers this season

Both teams have had their share of injuries … no excuses … but it will be challenging to catch them

At least he can today 

[phnxcrew]

McCutchen waiting 2/3 of the year to have this game ?.  Maybe he has a couple more in him the rest of the way?

I too have no love for those damn Cards.  ?

I suspect counsel wanted to give urias a day of today specifically, otherwise maybe brosseau plays 1st or Wong sits. Urias could have tweaked something and need day. 

[YelichPosse]

If we played the Reds and Pirates the way we have played the Dodgers this week.... I feel the mood here may be completely different..... 

I'll give credit where it is due - Cutch is having himself a game.

Pie hole = Black hole

[willie key]

Burnes better win this game 

[mtrebs]

All this because the ump didn’t call strike three to the first batter.
