Rodriguez can kill a baseball.

Remember when Kolten Wong was batting 5th in our batting order for good chunks of last season? Those were not fun days...

That’s a shame.

I mean, I'm not sad or anything, I'm just surprised. The Dodgers have been so rock-solid with depth for a decade that it's shocking to me this is even a rumor.

Have fun, the Crew is winning, hand out those reactions!

It's always amazing how guys can have good at bats and then there's that 1 or 2 players who have no chance abs. Tellez with 2 ks tonight of non-competitive ABs.

[yourout]

Big trouble brewing.

Nothing a well timed DP can't fix....hoping

 

And instead a 2 run double. That was a bullseye if youre throwing for center-center heart of the plate. 

[yourout]

Wow that was an awful pitch.

[82brewcrew82]

Horrible pitch

[markedman5]

Now that’s a terrible 0-2 pitch

[Joseph Zarr]

Boy these two strike pitch executions are lacking, Colin. Let's get sharp.

[adambr2]

That's as bad of an 0-2 pitch as you can possibly make.

Their offense is also likely due to regress because it's unlikely mid-30s Arenado/Goldschmidt are MVP-calibre again.

I actually think St Louis might be an underperformer in the NL, opening the door for the likes of the D-Backs and maybe the Cubs?

If you look at their current team hitting stats they don’t suggest a team that would be below average in runs scored per game. I don’t think they’re going to stay there. 

[brewcrewdue80]

HR incoming these are meatballs.

[yourout]

Going to be a short night for Rea.

[Joseph Zarr]

Well this inning stinks. LOL. Alright, I'm off to finish my Minor League report. Good luck, gents!

No, not below average, only worse than they were last year in comparison to the rest of MLB (which they are right now, 5th vs 8th).

The Cardinals offense isn't bad right now based on OPS, which stabilizes much more quickly than runs scored.

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers offense has been better than I’ve expected so far, but my enthusiasm is dampened by my concerns about how the pitching can hold up. Cutting into the depth this early in the season is going to be a problem, especially when you have to expect that there will be more injuries.

[Brewcrew82]

Okay. Maybe it is Adrian Houser time..

[yourout]

Sweet Jesus what a huge strike zone on Mitchell.

[Brewcrew82]

It would be nice if Arnold traded for a starter sooner than later. Go get Mitch Keller...That's a guy our pitching development system could work wonders with.

[SomewhereInTime]

Not surprised that they will have to score some runs tonight.  You get what you get with the Collin Rea's of the world.

Yeah the Pirates who supposedly wanted a king's ransom for Reynolds will give up their opening day starter with 2 more years of team control after this season to a division rival!

They’ve added two pitchers in the last week or so. Nobody is trading a starting pitcher in April
