Cardinals (Montgomery) vs Brewers (Lauer): 4/8/23, 6:10pm

[jay87shot]

Lauer throwing 90 middle middle is a bad look.

Also why can't we hit average lefties like Montgomery, Quintana, and Justin Steele. We missed the playoffs in part because our inability to hit lefties. Contreras should not sit vs. Lefties.

Also wouldn't mind Turang getting bats vs. lefties eventually.

Unfortunately - we are due a clunker after six straight wins

Hard to complain too much that it appears the team is going to “fall” to 6-2 tonight.

I blame the Twins. They ruined the 6-1 mojo. 

[RobertCrawley]

These young hitters fill me with optimism for this season.

[Brewcrew82]

The kids are alright...

There’s so little upside in doing so. Most good lefties struggle to be more than “acceptable” against LHP.

It’s been a fun first week+ of the season in the upper Midwest. 

[RobertCrawley]

Bad call, ump.

[trwi7]

Chance to get back in it and Yelich is up lol

I don’t understand what lauer is trying to do.    90 mph fastballs letter high 

If that is his goal - bullseye 🎯 

[HarryDoyle]

Monty throws a first pitch ball to Yelich and the catcher has to go out and calm him down.

He's been walking a lot. So maybe.

[willie key]

He’s just bad

 

honestly

[adambr2]

Please for the love of God get Christian Yelich away from the top of our lineup. It's over. He's bad. It's not 2019. He's long gone, Craig. 

[treego14]

Yelli is good at weak grounders to the right side.  Not trying to be snide … but the truth is something by which we should abide.

[brewcrewdue80]

2 bases loaded PAs yesterday and just now. Both have 2 meatballheart of the plate pitches. Still can't hit past the infield. Your best #3 hitter folks.

[treego14]

CC hoping for that old Yelli Magic is getting borderline Tragic.

How much longer do we have to wait for Yelich to do something at the plate?

[bulldogboy0733]

There is no way that Chourio doesn't provide a better ab than Yelich not to mention Frelick. It will be interesting to seewhat happens if those two rake and Yelich is still this version of Yelich. At a point you have to play your best 9 don't you?

Agreed. You're going to have to pay him whether he plays or not. Might as well bench him in favor of a better player.
