6:45 p.m.
RHP Adam Wainwright (10-9, 3.33) vs. TBA
BSM // FOX Sports 1 // KMOX // WIJR
Also BSSE and BSSW+Waino in the stopper role is a familiar spot…what isn’t familiar is that he’ll be facing Burnes. Waino hasn’t been so good lately, so we’ll see if he can find something tonight. A win would be huge, obviously, after last night’s effort.
On Burnes’ end, he had a couple of rough outings against the Pirates and Dbacks, but was much better against San Fran. Hopefully he’s a little bit off tonight.
A loss today and the momentum is all on the Brewers side. It would be doom city. That would mean a six game lead and then more than likely Cincinnati would come in and either sweep us in the five game series or win four. Our lead by close of business on Sunday will probably be about two games. Then that killer west coast trip against the Padres and Dodgers. I’ve been dreading it all year long.
Haha!…Ratsbuddy may be right! These sorts of catastrophic tailspins can be incredibly difficult to pull out of before the disatrous impact…All jokes aside, “youneverknow.”
We could use a win, but it is not that big of a deal if we lose. We swept those guys late last year during our hot streak and still they won the division by several games.
It will be the same this year, only with us winning by several games.
There’s an article in today’s local media outlet regarding slanderous comments from some guy who works for ESPN named Max (Sally) Kellerman. Apparently this guy has clearly implied that the recent tremendous performance by the Great Albert Pujols in his quest to achieve 700 HR’s has been fueled by something more than amazing talent, dedication and hard work. Hmmm…I’m contemplating sending someone to talk to this guy and find out precisely what it is that motivates him to work his mouth in the manner that he seems to think is okay simply to garner himself a bit of attention…
I see no reason to panic. The reality is that the Brewers have a very slim chance of overtaking the Cards for the NLC crown. The Brewers do still have a chance of chasing down the Padres or Phillies for that final wild card spot though. If they do end up being the sixth seed they would play the third seed, which will most likely be the Cardinals. That could be interesting.
Dom…Kellerman is well within his rights to “smell a rat”. Albert has had a DECADE of suck and suddenly becomes better than he ever was in the “steroid era”
Take the blinders off. Do you think everybody now is clean? And how do you pick which ones are not? By what team you root for, (like the Tatis, Braun and Votto fans?)
Well, now…….if it is indeed found out that Pujols is a doper what is everyone going to think about that?
My opinion is that surely Albert could not be dumb enough to do that. Right???
Game Card: What is wrong with you putting negative crap on here every day?
Rats seems to be a glass half empty guy. What’s wrong with that? There’s enough cheerleaders around here, doncha think?
If you expect the worst, you won’t be disappointed. You will actually be somewhat happy when the worst doesn’t happen. I am trying to make everyone happy. C’mon be happy!
No, LeG…I find everyday negativity to be tedious. Go to a Brewer board if you want to say stuff like that.
1. Edman – SS
2. Dickerson – LF
3. Goldschmidt – 1B
4. Arenado – 3B
5. Donovan – 2B
6. Pujols – DH
7. Burleson- RF
8. Molina – C
9. Nootbaar – CFThe Noot in CF with Dickerson and Burleson on the corners. Yah, that’s interesting.
Oli went with a L/R stagger, 4 thru 9.
Defensively Dickerson is average, Noot is untested in CF, and Burleson is more known for his bat instead of his glove.
gscottar…I guess average is fair concerning Dickerson’s glove work, but I’ve seen him take some really bad first steps in his routes to the baseball this season in LF that have cost some runs. I’ve also noticed that he often seems to have trouble on the glove to throwing hand exchange. At any rate, he was awarded a GG in ’18, and I sure haven’t seen a GG calibre OF’er. But yeah, I’d also say average is a fair assessment.
Dickerson has been a perfectly fine pickup. He’s used in proper positions, for sure. The one thing that’s a bit difficult is that he’s allergic to walks lately. I probably would let him walk after the year as I think Burleson can provide all that he does. Hopefully he’s got a few clutch hits in him before he moves on, though.
