Adames needs a few days off…….Contreras too…….

[82brewcrew82]

That was fun.

I see 3 runs on the board after 6 innings, there were plenty of baserunners all day.

2 runs that wouldn't have counted had the umpire called Donovan out of the basepath or Rowdy made the throw. Several of those baserunners were off of infield hits, too. 

It was a fine start. Probably the best he's looked since the Arizona start. Offense is the one that didn't do its job.

I’ll say it…. 2021 notwithstanding, I would rather have Rasmussen than Adames

[mtsportsfan]

Any reason why Adames is not hitting down in the lineup !

With this many guys in the lineup that can't hit it's pretty hard to find enough spots at the bottom of the order.

None other than not everyone can hit at the bottom of the order.

Rasmussen is hurt again…,,,it’s why the Brewers pitched him out of the pen….

Yeah. The guy who is about to have his 3rd TJ surgery...

Versus a sub .700 OPS shortstop. Big deal

[Brewcrew82]

I like Megill better than Guerra already. 

[mtsportsfan]

Nice inning for McGill !

Owen miller is the only guy consistently hitting. I agree however Adames should be 7 or 8. He swung at 2 pitches a foot outside.

[RobertCrawley]

Real nice work by Megill.

[82brewcrew82]

Everytime a Cardinal strikes out they act like its the worst at bat they have ever taken.  Our guys just turn and walk away with zero emotion.

3rd Tommy John surgery seems like a very big deal to me.

And when has Adames been a sub .700 OPS shortstop? I'll clue you in. He hasn't. We're in the middle of May. Talk to me at the end of the season. Willy's been worth 1.0 WAR primarily off his defense alone.

Our guys have had more practice at it.

[mtsportsfan]

Another outside strike , changes the at bat with crap like that !

[mtsportsfan]

Didn't matter , feeble swing by Rowdy !

[RobertCrawley]

When our bats get cold, they are frozen.

[82brewcrew82]

I hate to say it but CC needs to go.  He has been the only constant and there just doesn't seem to be any accountability.

[Brewcrew82]

It's hard to beat the Cardinals AND the Umps. 

[mtsportsfan]

Another crap strike ! Yikes

[SomewhereInTime]

This was a huge series too, especially with the rays coming up.  Brewers are very lucky they didn't get swept.
