Brewers (Houser) vs Cardinals (Thompson): 9/20/23, 6:45pm

Bit of a difference between the top 4 in the Cards lineup and the bottom 5.

Think a split is the most likely scenario here and one I'd be okay with given our historical difficulties with STL. They're a bad team for sure, but the lineup can be lethal and we sometimes have difficulties scoring runs as demonstrated on Monday. 

If Houser doesn't blow up, which he can do from time to time, and we can put some runs on the board (Houser isn't going to shut them down), I'll like our chances. 

I saw him shut them down in a three hit complete game shutout a couple years ago. He can do it.

The brewers pitching has been so good that you expect them to hold them down and close every game

we are due to get smashed at some point.     Elvis going down is a major bummer

[Brewcrew82]

JD!

JOSH. DONALDSON!

[HarryDoyle]

The Brewers caught lightning in a bottle with Donaldson.

[kevinisaname]

He got a big time hanger. We'll take those.

[markedman5]

Just what they had in mind when they signed him…….that was crushed

[RobertCrawley]

Freakin’ nutbar

[kevinisaname]

Well, that's not ideal. Get behind the first two guys and there's a run for the Cards.

[markedman5]

Not ideal start for Houser

Get 3 then struggle.   So frustrating 

[kevinisaname]

Come on, Adrian. The offense gave you a 3-run lead. Don't let it get away.

Bringer of the Rain hits a 3 run 415 foot shot, I hope he gets hot because he's a beast. 

[Bulldogboy]

Credit due to Arnold for not just saying we have enough and bringing in Donaldson. Good move and he seems energetic. 

[kevinisaname]

Snowcone by Santana! Whew, got away with one there. Stop nibbling, Houser!

[jason21nl]

Huge catch to bail Houser out

[RobertCrawley]

Great catch by Santana!!

[Brewcrew82]

Carlos! Could've been worse. Nothing hit all that hard. Need Houser to find his command. 

[HarryDoyle]

Whoa, that was an interesting catch. Thought that one was in the stands for sure.

[markedman5]

Rowdy’s not making that catch

No shot, lol.

[Brian]

Rowdy has been a disappointment after playing so well in the WBC.

[RobertCrawley]

Love seeing an empty Busch Stadium

I would say Perkins is an upgrade over Wiemer as the 9th hitter.
