What next. 

[yourout]

This team is really terrible at giving back runs immediately after scoring runs.

[Hopper]

Did he just say two teams known for offense?

LOL LOL LOL

[Robocaller]

Over/Under on 18 total runs. What do you pick?
 

[Nola Beery]

Whoever said this was a bullpen game at least got the "bull" part right.

Under. Cardinals 11 Brewers 5.

Sounds about right.

Crew is about done scoring and the Cards can drop a 5 spot on them at any time.

[Robocaller]

game context allowing, I might try to hit Pujols every time he comes up to the plate.

[BruisedCrew]

With Burnes pitching tomorrow and the off day Thursday the Brewers might be able to scratch their way through these two days. 
 

But, playing 19 games in 20 days after that figures to be really ugly, and it only got worse with Bush likely headed for the IL. 

[BruisedCrew]

Phillies win 2-1 over Alcantara.

Now up by 4 (de facto 5) over Brewers. 

[Brewcrew82]

Stearns hit on Renfroe. 

[yourout]

How did Renfroe hit that pitch that hard?

[jason21nl]

Heyo!   

[Brewcrew82]

Cutch vs. LHP>Hiura vs. LHP

[Brewcrew82]

I may come to regret saying this, but I don't see the Cardinals as on the Dodgers/Mets/Braves level as they lack the dominant starting pitchers you need in the post-season. 

[Nola Beery]

I may be hallucinating

Agreed. But some people were mad that Hiura wasn't in the lineup today and that McCutchen was....

[yourout]

If the offense was ever going to go on a 3 week hot streak this would be a good time to do it.

[jason21nl]

Lol.  He definitely wasn’t going on contact to stay out of the DP Rock 

[yourout]

This is why I would rather have not PH Wong.

Definitely wasn’t but the pitcher had a DP there.  Not sure why they went home there.

Agreed.  Maybe pitcher didn’t think it was hit hard enough or caught Urias out of the corner of his eye. But yeah, either way Urias was going on contact

Agreed, but Devil Magic > Talent, so you never know how far the Cardinals will go. When they take a bite of the apple it feels like they have a decent chance of eating it all. 

[BruisedCrew]

If Topa can get through this inning the Brewers have a chance to steal an unlikely win.
