[Brock Beauchamp]

Can't lose to the Cardinals if you don't play the Cardinals. Also, why is today's game so early?

Looks like the is a bunch of earlier games today.

Odd for a early May Wednesday. 

I would think that's going to hurt the attendance with kids still in school.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

We'll see how I feel about this statement in July, but I think yesterday's postponement helps the Brewers.  Let's take one game off the schedule while we're fielding a undermanned roster and give the returning IL guys time to ease back in.

It's strange to see the Brewers UNDERperforming their run differential for a change. Not sure how much of that to chalk up to bullpen and how much to the three or four big offensive performances. Probably more the former.

Even with all the talk about the offense, it's those bullpen arms that are going to have to be better if this team's going to be a factor. We can't be giving up late leads. Definitely feels like a treading water first quarter, but that was what we all we're hoping for after the injuries at the end of spring.

12:15 is a common starting time for the Cardinals on getaway day afternoons.

Suck that, St. Louis. Lucky SOBs

[adambr2]

Love me a good 2 out rally.

[markedman5]

Welcome back Andrew!

[homer]

woo hoo!

[edfunderburk]

What a start! We need Vaughn’s power to contend in a competitive NL Central. Hopefully we pick up a win today & gain a series split with a few days off this week to rest the bullpen & get our guys healthy for the Yankees. 

[liveforoctober]

I was a day late on the prediction, but I accept Mr. Vaughn.

[yfinn6]

Ortiz.. woof. 

[adambr2]

It’s the Cardinals, so you can guarantee we are going to get some old school petty revenge at some point for Church getting hit.

[homer]

Some interesting (or not) Sproat splits (Sploats):

[adambr2]

Sprout usually looks so good until he doesn’t. Would love to see him break that trend today.

[dlk9s]

Man, Sproat has some good stuff. When he puts it all together, look out.

(I was going to use the word "consistent," but all that means in sports is "good all the time.")

[markedman5]

Sprout’s stuff is really good……just needs the command

It can also mean bad all the time. 🤷‍♂️

[yfinn6]

Not sure why Bauers is getting that far off the bag.

It’s something they’ve gotta get better at for sure. Less aggressive in some situations, more aggressive in others.

They’re a very analytical team, so this is something I would guess they are looking at closely and figuring out how they will improve over time.

Ergo, I think their ranking will rise over time, but right now we are still in the very early stages of this.

[Underachiever]

Dammit, Sproat. starts the fourth with back to back walks.
