Brewers (Myers) vs Angels (Canning): 6/18/24, 8:38pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Looks like I missed very little after going to sleep last night while the game was tied 2-2. Sigh.

[treego14]

I don't think our hitters will be fanning against Canning!

No doubt the fans will be tanning.

Angels' hitters will try us BUT they won't beat Tobias!

[MoreTrife]

If Tobias puts in another quality start, how do we approach Junis and Hall coming off IL? I'd rather send Rodriguez down than Tobias almost.

Rodriguez should be sent down no matter what

His future could be bright but he is not ready at this time

He needs to spend the remainder of the season in Nashville

At this point in time there’s no “almost “ about it in my opinion. Although I will say, I thought Rodriguez did overall better than people in yesterday’s IGT gave him credit for.

Cards just got walked off in extras by the Marlins.

Enjoyed watching that. Feel like I'm on sports overload these days, watching baseball, Stanley Cup playoffs, the Euros, and the Olympic swim trials. But it's also great.

A Brewer win tonight would be even greater.

When was the last time we scored in the first inning? I'm probably forgetting something recent, but it feels like a while ago.

How about right now! Yeli!

[82brewcrew82]

Atta boy Yeli.  Good to see out of him.

[Brewcrew82]

200!

[82brewcrew82]

Tidy inning for Tobias.

[kevinisaname]

Please score here.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

What are folks thinking on Myers? I like that he doesn't walk guys. He pitches to contact. Lately, he seems to have really good command within the zone as well.

Yet, his FIP is above 5, and it doesn't really seem like guys struggle to square him up. Hard hit and line drive rates are right around league average.

He's neither a ground ball nor fly ball nor strikeout pitcher. There's definitely been a lot of luck involved in getting his ERA under 4, but can he be a decent back-end starter? Like, I don't know, Chris Narveson (4.31 career FIP)?

I can see a lot of possible variance for the guy, and that makes him kind of fun to watch.

[AKCheesehead]

I was hoping they’d send him on the Frelick double. 

[82brewcrew82]

I wish I could be hopeful with RISP.

[jason21nl]

I’m sending Ortiz. The OF moving towards the wall would have had nothing on the throw

Same.

[kevinisaname]

Hey, we get a break!

[Sixtolezcano]

Brewer base running has been atrocious this series. Stop trying to move up a base on grounders to the left side of the infield.

[yourout]

That should have been an appeal to first. 

No way that was a clear swing.

[Sixtolezcano]

That’s the kind of swing to expect from Chourio when he doesn’t play regularly. Please have him play regularly in Nashville before you waste a year of his career.

[treego14]

[yourout]

Myers has a bit of a Yovanni delivery.
