If you lose this series B K you may join Bud in the unemployment line.
Deal. I’m paid so little here, I could offload this huge responsibility!
Just jerking your chain. You are doing a great job. Love the trading cards.
Burnes throwing a lot of extra pitches thanks to an error. Looks like 6 innings at the most for him after he came into the 5th cruising.
The offense is in a bit of a funk, especially against lefties. So, I get shaking up the lineup, and Contreras, with a .953 OPS against southpaws, has to be our best hitter against them. Putting him in the lead off spot makes sense.
But could somebody please explain to me the logic of CC’s putting Yeli in the cleanup slot?
Coming into the day, he was hitting .243 with a .331/.383/.713 slash line. His wRC+ had him at 4% below league average as an offensive player. And he had a putrid .554 OPS against lefties.
If anything, he should be in the 6 or 7 spot, hopefully helping him to get back on track again by taking some of the pressure off him. His walk rate is down significantly this year, and that’s where his value lies.
In 2022, he walked 13.1%, and struck out 24.1%.
He’s down to 10.4%, and up to 26.9%.
0 for May. Uffda. At least we ain't the Cards, they've lost 8 in a row. And the Pirates have also lost 6 in a row.
Team needs a slumpbuster.
Susan Sarandon is like 77, but if it helps, it helps.
It’s baseball and just seems like these kind of things happen. They probably aren’t as good as how they started winning 14 of 19 but certainly aren’t as bad as they’ve been playing recently.
Coming into this year slightly better than average? That’s about where their overall record is now.
This is probably an 85-90 win team. Losing Woodie hurt but what really seemed to affect the offense was losing Mitchell. He truly was a catalyst. Whether he kept his production up or slumped like most of the team has we'll never know. It's a long season with many ups and downs. The breaks the Brewers were getting are going the other way. When the Brewers make an error it cost them unearned runs and losses. Rea walks one hitter and the next guy homers. Burnes get staked to a 2-0 lead, walks a guy followed by a homer. With the Cardinals playing poorly this division looks weak and there for the taking so no reason to panic with 130 games left.
And how many times have the Cardinals been left for dead and they storm back in the 2nd half of the season?
Tough to gauge a whole lot before it’s even Memorial Day.
A fresh arm starter today, A. Hauser gets his first start of the season today. 
Nice start in todays game, good old Ross “Cy Young” Stripling, offers up a meatball to Willie Contreras who puts the Crew up 2-0, top 2nd
In the meantime Houser has given up 5 hit in two innings. 49 pitches. It looks like it could be a wild one today.
Willie with a 2 run bomb, the 100th of his career. Crew up 5-2 with 2 outs bottom of 5th.
Never easy. Houser lets 2 get on in the 5th but Milner gets out of the jam. Then Milner puts 2 on in the 6th but Payamps gets out of it. Still 5-2 good guys.

The 9th is like earlier in the season. The opponent makes an error and the Brewers manufacture a couple runs.
Brewers win! Everybody else in the division lost except the cellar dwelling Cardinals.

I think Payamps in the 7th was the decisive inning. Even tho they didn't score the Giants had built some offensive momentum in the 5th and 6th. They started again in the 7th but Payamps slammed the door.
Payamps has great stuff but he has some trouble harnessing it. He's really the guy they need to fill the role Boxberger had last season.
