Cards cannot deny us

when we have Tobias!

Gibson will be trips-in ...

while trying to avoid the hard contact

as our bats stay hot and racked!

Over the last two years, covering 287 games and 2,553 innings, the Brewers have posted a 3.69 ERA | 4.25 FIP. That -0.56 margin is the best in MLB with Houston second all the way down at a -0.34 margin. The gap between the Brewers in 1st and Astros in 2nd is the same as the gap between the Astros in 2nd and the Cubs in 10th.

Over those same last two years, the Rockies have posted a 5.61 ERA | 5.06 FIP. That +0.55 margin is the worst in MLB over that stretch by an even larger extent with the Cardinals second to worst with a +0.30 margin.

Now obviously more goes into beating (or not beating) one's FIP than just defense and home ballpark, but the Brewers defense over the last two years has essentially been so good that their pitchers have gotten to pitch their games in the opposite of Coors Field.

I used to dread these series with St. Louis.    Now I’m like let’s just kick their ass and move on to the next series

That's some really good data, thanks.

If you compile this stuff while at work, I want your job.😁

Brewers have won their last 7 games in St. Louis. 11-3 in their last 14 against the Cards.

Thank you for putting into terms I can understand in the last sentence.

It’s impressive how the Cardinals went from one hated d bag catcher into another

Well, he did come from the Cubs.

Are we really going to hit into a dp every inning

[adambr2]

The irony of how bad Hoskins has been is that it means we get to be stuck with him next year too. 

[HarryDoyle]

We're going to get screwed by replay again.

Myers is missing high by a significant amount a lot.

To home plate and first base.

[adambr2]

Myers doing his best Matt Garza impression out there. 

Pitchers who can't make accurate throws to bases always blew my mind. You'd think by virtue of their  job they'd be the most accurate throwers on the field. 

At least the Cardinals screwed it up anyway. 

[markedman5]

Now that’s how you work the first and 3rd two out steal!

[liveforoctober]

Turang shuffle foot to save Adames an error. Then not taking the play off and hustling to back up first on the overthrow saves a run. Then sprints down Carpenter on the steal attempt to not allow a proper run down.

That was a special, but somehow typical, Turang defensive inning.

They're doing their best.

Run 

 

for god sakes

[adambr2]

Tobias is clearly not at his best today. Gibson seems vulnerable too, but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. 

[markedman5]

Walking the tightrope but well done to work out of it.
