Uribe is the equivalent of Curtis "Panic" Leskanic and K-Rod on the mound.  Its never easy, lots of terrifying moments, but the job gets done.  

Difference is Uribe's stuff is unhittable when it's close to the zone. By his tenure with the Brewers, K Rod was getting it done with smoke and mirrors.

[Brewcrew82]

Frelick is a professional hitter.

[markedman5]

A run without a hit! Nice!

[HarryDoyle]

That's how you manufacture a run.

Now take advantage of the error.

Agreed but the terror moments are ever present.

Not at all.  Guy was.  It was just never easy.  

[Brewcrew82]

Collapse of the Cardinals' defense has been responsible for their season as much as anything.

A legend for getting away with domestic abuse, maybe. 

[markedman5]

No way on KRod brewers legend……standards are higher for that classification

According to Fangraphs, Jordan Walker's defense has almost completely negated his offensive value. 

wrc+ of 116, WAR of 0.2

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I prefer my legends more in the vein of LaTroy Hawkins.

[kevinisaname]

That was a little on the lazy side by Josh. Didn't realize Edman was that fast.

[duewizard]

Payamps looking like himself

Yeah, that was a weird play. Almost like he wasn't expecting Edman to be running hard or something. Thankfully didn't hurt.

[tonyei31]

Normally I would never advocate for this but if this a game you bring Payamps in for the 9th?  Thus negating Uribe/Megill/Payamps availability tomorrow but everyone else saved?

At this point.    Just win the game.    Especially after the last two debacle games.   

[duewizard]

A steal! No dp!

[RobertCrawley]

Good baseball gets that 7th run. 

[kevinisaname]

Uh, we're getting Chafin now...

 

But good job scoring, team!

[RobertCrawley]

Hate the Cardinals, and love that empty stadium. 

[markedman5]

Good send by Lane……it doesn’t look like left fielder has much or an arm…..

[Sugarrayray]

I almost wished he didn’t score because I don’t want to see Chafin. I think it’s harder on a closer to quickly warm up in a very hurried fashion to go bail someone out of an inning then it is to just prepare for the 9th and only that inning.

Pitch Milner.      Chafin gives the cards a chance.

Perhaps, he is the Brewer I can't stand the most. One of Stearns greatest moves was shipping K-Rod out the first chance he had.

[Brewcrew82]

Chafin against the top of the Cards' order.
