Brewers (Montas) vs Cardinals (Fedde): 8/20/24, 6:45pm

[markedman5]

6 games in a row for first time this season……..

[BCF]

Jacob Misiorowski with another two scoreless innings tonight for his first minor league save. His last four AAA outings: 7.2 IP, 1 H, 10 K and — most importantly — no walks.

[markedman5]

Just like everyone thought when the trade happened

THEY ARE DONE!  It's another great day to be a Brewers fan!

 

Not quite ready to call it a dagger but I have Wayne Larrivee on speed dial.

When he is commanding his stuff, electric is an understatement.  Knowing he can follow that filth of a breaking ball with triple digits with ride at the top of the zone is just silliness.

[yourout]

The most remarkable aspect of this run is they're doing it with their only 850+ OPS hitter out for the year

Cards would have to go 4-1 or 5-0 to even have a remote chance imo 

Brewers go 3-2 and you’re looking at 13+ games out with no H2H matchups left

Aaron Ashby continues to look terrific, too, in relief.

If baseball was poker, I guess a "We're walking someone to get to Goldschmidt w/the tying & winning runs on base" beats a "We're letting Mears in to face Carpenter with Koenig ready". Actually, if the baseball gods let me see where the ball Carpenter hit out was located BEFORE he hit it, I'd have been fine with it. Just got on top of the sucker, something LHH don't do real often.

Love, love, love Montas establishing 96-98 & working off it. That's his best path to success IMO.

Three RBI day for Hoskins on another day. Hang with 'em.

Devin Williams, in keeping with the poker theme, really has a pair.

Why when Mears was pitching did he through 4 out of every 5 were fastballs when he has such a great curveball? Contreras shouldn't call the fastball so much. I can hardly even blame Mears for that.

He’s been strong several outings in a row 

I hope this is the pitcher we see next Spring

Then why activate him today?? Seems likes a wasted roster spot.

No, not really. He could have been used in a low leverage situation or an emergency like an extra inning game.

It's not even them, but actually the Cubs that are in 2nd place now. 

Unfortunately for them, the deficit is 11.5 games.

We have a 12 game lead with 38 to play if you count the tiebreaker.  If we drop the next two we'd have a 10 game lead with 36 to play.  Cards then go play 3 in Minnesota, 4 at home against SD, three in NY against the Yanks and then face us in Milwaukee.  They do all of that without any days off.  You think they are going play .500 ball against that schedule?  The cards are dead.

That's a lot of baseball.

It is and anything can happen, but this would be a historic collapse for us to lose the division at this point. We would have to go 12-25 or something like that and the Cubs would need to play .550 ball on top of it.

Unless I'm misreading what you all are talking about ... in which case, my apologies.

This is the real story tonight. Miz was fine - not as good as he's been at Triple-A honestly but hey his first SVO and he managed to execute when it mattered most and threw a couple dirty curveballs. BUT, Ashby absolutely shoved. That's four straight scoreless short-inning relief stints. More importantly: efficient, filthy, in control. Full arsenal. Doubly important: already rostered 😁

Found out after the game Carpenter was hitting something like .100 on breaking pitches this year. So yeah, on 0-1 maybe you go neck high with the FB, then breaking stuff, or visa versa. Still, he got on top of a pitch I didn't think he could hit out.
