Brewers (Sproat) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 5/6/26, 12:15pm

[Jopal78]

Indisputable talent, but is Sproat going to be anything when he’s staked to a huge lead and has trouble finishing 5 innings .

[torts]

These are the cardinal I was looking for

[Team Canada]

Interesting, done after 4IP/76 pitches?

End on a good note I'd guess. Build confidence.

Hall has looked good of late…….knock on wood

Nice piece on Adam McCalvy. I enjoy his reporting!

You can tell Murphy really wants this one. Only 76 pitches but with his reputation for struggles the 3rd time around Murphy is taking no chances on another inning for Sproat.

We need this one. Can't get pushed around by the Cards.

Ortiz sucks so bad.

Cardinals are the new Astros

Help me understand why/when the umpires can just refuse to let you challenge.

All I know is that it has to be done right away. So Contreras went to his brow with his glove left-hand first, and then tapped with his right-hand for a challenge. I guess the ump said that's too long?

[RobertCrawley]

So Megill then Abner?

[RobertCrawley]

Bauers also uses a hamate breaking bat grip.

Maybe also a communication thing with teammates? Maybe they are trying to eliminate middle infielders signaling to the catcher or something to challenge or a shout from the bench or something. I'm just guessing...

[adambr2]

All Ortiz needs to do to get in the lineup every day is to just not be an atrocious hitter and it’s a bar he can’t clear.

[adambr2]

Chourio on the other hand can hit a little.

[edfunderburk]

I wonder what our record would be if Chourio hadn’t been injured 

[liveforoctober]

Discussion question - if you were told your starter went 4 innings, didn't allow a run, struck out 5 ... and allowed 4 baserunners...

Assuming all of the hits are singles ... would you prefer your pitcher is walking those guys or giving up hits?

One seems to suggest he was effectively wild, the other suggests the other team had a light beat on him and he got through it.

[Team Canada]

Night and day with Chourio and Vaughn in the lineup.

Hits likely means lower pitch count?

Singles……..at least the pitcher giving up singles is giving our great defense a chance to get an out……..
