Paste the Pirates

Three walks and 2 stolen bases in the 1st and the Brewers get zilch.       

0-0 after 2, no hits so far in this game

Rea gives up a 2 run HR, Crew down 2-0, they come up to bat in the 3rd. Dang

Contreras double scores Chourio, Crew down 2-1 in 3rd, still batting, no outs

Perkins single scores another, now tied, 2-2, still batting 1 out

8-2 Pirates in the sixth. We have almost as many errors (2) as we have hits (3).

The grand slam by Bart is just a back breaker. We really need to get the offense going. Skenes on Thursday is going to be a really tough matchup. Don’t want to lose this series.

Hoskins with a leadoff double. Let’s go!!!! Get a couple back this inning.

Nothing. Ground out and two strikeouts. Wasted opportunity.

Embarrassing performance tonight.

The Brewers better get their shit together. St. Louis has the best record in the National League since May 12th at 33-18. We’ve gone 29-23 over the same period.

Cards are 4 games back.

So it's panic time now?

In their last 10 games the Brewers and Dodgers have the same record, 4 - 6.  Think they are panicking in L A? 

Fuck the Cardinals

Dodgers are dealing with a ton of injuries.  Maybe they pissed off the baseball gods?

The Cardinals lost the 1st game of a double header today, second game in progress.

Crew up 2-0 after 1, small ball

Scrubs leading 3-0 in the 7th

KC STL tied 1-1 after 3

Good start.

Christian Yelich is now leading the National League in batting and OBP. His OPS+ (163) is nearly identical to his MVP season (164) in 2018.

He’s got to stay healthy going forward-that’s the biggest thing-but he’s putting up some serious offensive numbers again with a .948 OPS.

2-0 through 3 now.

Another hit for Yeli. Let’s get him home. Keep putting numbers on the scoreboard.

One of the things that I think will make a real difference  in the post season is our continued success stealing bases. We’ve converted on 85% of our attempts, which is unreal (122 for 147).

Speak of the devil, Adames strikes out, but Yelich steals second.

Maybe. I know they’re in full meltdown mode in New York. The Yankees have completely collapsed, and Yankees fans are on the ledge.

It gives me a perverse sense of pleasure seeing the $400ish million teams malfunctioning.

Come on Rhys. Crush a 3 run homer here.

That worthless Monasterio singled and scored on a Contreras double that also scored Turang. 4 - 0 Brewers with Yelich at bat and 2 outs.

Adames singles but thrown out stealing. After a Frelick ground out Hoskins hits a 417  foot solo homer. After a Perkins and Monasterio walks Turang grounds out Now 5 - 0 Crew after 5.  Myers pitching the 6th.

Myers is pitching a really nice game.

A double play ball right now would be lovely.

Thank you!!

Good night for the Brewers. The Cardinals lost both games of their doubleheader, and the Brewers are about to wrap up the win.

Great Crew win 

Do not know why all the angst over the Yankees, they are 56-38 for a 596 average, but the Orioles are currently just a tad better , conversely the Crew has a 581 average as of tonight, and folks are not panicking, cept maybe Lanbeausouth

Several reasons why the Yankees mini-slump is a big topic.

1. ESPN and the rest of the East Coast media amplify everything, good and bad, about the Yankees. It's maybe an order of magnitude below LeBron and the Cowboys, but it's still a big topic to generate interest.

2. Payroll in 2024:

Yankees 308 million

Brewers 110 million

Orioles 101 million

Oh without a doubt its an ESPN thing  because they think everyone is a Spankee fan, a Cowboys fan, or a Lakers/LeBron fan.

Dan Patrick and some other former ESPN employees have recently said that when they were employed there they were told to push certain teams and individuals.

Line up for the Ammo is at the game today: Civale on the mound vs Skenes:

Game starts at 1:10 CT

Bring home the win Ammo.  I did my part last night - although my pitching matchup was a bit more favorable!

It's not that they think everyone is a Yankee, Cowboy, or LeBron fan. It's that there are almost as many people that passionately hate those teams as like them. On a 1 to 10 scale where 1 is you love a team or player and 10 is you hate them, it's better to have a topic that is a 1 or 10 than it is to talk about a team that is good and deserving of highlights and attention, but that nobody really hates.

Even a topic or player that the vast majority of people hate (Aaron Rodgers) gets more attention than it should.

Hatred drives eyeballs and clicks just as much as fandom.

Can Ammo deliver Skenes first loss

you betcha he can, ammo's the man

Sooner or later Skenes has to have a bad day.

0-0 after 1, now I'm off to run errands, will catch up  when I get back.

Brewer pitcher, Civale is matching Pittsburg ace Skenes thru 5 innings.

still no score thru 5

1-0 Bucs.  Brewers no hit through 7!
