Cardinals (Gray) vs Brewers (Myers): 5/9/24, 6:40pm

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Can Ortiz be the regular 3b now?

[folly412]

Joey needs to play more.

And not Wiemer.

[Bulldogboy]

No justification for not playing Ortiz every day. You traded your ace for him. Lol. 

[SomewhereInTime]

I think it is definitely past the time to be done with the platoon at 3rd.  Play Ortiz every day.

Kind of like Mike Fiers,  if he could keep the ball in the park,  he could also be around in the majors a long time 

Sonny Gray is in the majors. He gives up home runs left and right.

[markedman5]

This will work most of the time

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gray goes on the DL after this start with an injury.

[Bulldogboy]

Bro come on man. Enough already.

I realize drafting is a crap shoot, but it annoys me when the Brewers go against "consensus' and take players that arent rated highly by others.  Cardinals took Masyn Winn (rated 54th pre-draft)- the very next pick after the Brewers took lower rated Freddy Zamora. I guess there are slight differences between players rated 50-100

Cards had a bunch of extra picks in the 2020 draft so they had a $7.9M bonus pool (12th) versus the Brewers at $6.1M (22nd).

Winn signed for $2.1M out of high school versus Zamora getting $1.15M out of college.

Brewers didn’t have enough money to meet Winn’s demands.

[HarryDoyle]

The Cardinals just talked the umpire into shrinking the strike zone.

Great job Koenig to get out of that

[markedman5]

Koenig for MVP……wow what a job

[HarryDoyle]

Wow, that one scared me. Way to pull off that magic act.

[young guns]

That was too close, but nice magic from Koenig to escape scott free!

[sveumrules]

ICE COLD KOENIG !!

(no help from blue)

[kevinisaname]

Wow, what a job by Koenig, even pitching around some dubious ball calls.

[Nola Beery]

Whew.

[folly412]

Please don't option Koenig to save bullpen arms again.  10 days without him is not worth it.

 

[markedman5]

So good to have him back……

[kevinisaname]

I like having Yeli back...

[young guns]

Ump even tried his best to help the cards that half inning.  At least according to GameDay, 5 strikes were called balls including 2 in the Donovan AB.

 

Really nice having yeli back!

[Bulldogboy]

Yelich is mvp based on what we have seen from this team this season. 

[HarryDoyle]

Gray gives up 6 in 5+, including three home runs and is still in the game.

15 days for a pitcher so even worse. I agree though that he should stay up. Herget can be optioned and Vieira can get phantom IL'd.

[Underachiever]

Cmon Rhys, get the seventh run home.
